Richest Mogul 957


    Skr took the opportunity to let Natalie know that she had arrived safely.


    The airport was quite a distance from the hotel. The driver navigated smoothly, and soon Skr


    drifted off to sleep. In her semi–conscious state, she felt Joe cover her with his jacket. He even held


    her close so that she could sleep even morefortably.


    She originally didn’t want to disturb him while he was working. However, she was so tired, and


    being held by him felt quitefortable, so she didn’t move and just slept in his arms.


    Joe’s deep, monotonous voice continued to reach her ears. The dull and tedious work content was


    likely a luby, making her sleep even more deeply.


    After what felt like a long time, the car came to a stop. She vaguely heard Paul’s voice. “Should we


    wake Mrs. Martin? We’re near the


    hotel.”


    Joe replied, “Not yet.”


    Skr opened her eyes. “Are we almost at the hotel?“.


    “Yes, we’re nearly there,” Joe said, his voice gentle.


    Skr sat up and looked out at the street. The different architectural styles of the foreignnd


    caught her eye, and she suddenly felt a surge of excitement for this trip.


    A nap had rejuvenated her, and she felt much more energetic.


    “Would you like to go for a stroll?” Joe asked, noticing Skr’s bright eyes and evident excitement


    as she gazed out the window.


    Skr nodded eagerly. “Will you be busy after we get to the hotel?”

    “Not really. After we grab a bite, we can head out,” Joe replied.


    Paul nced back quickly when Joe mentioned he wasn’t busy. He thought, “Not busy? That’s far


    from the truth.”


    Joe was as busy as ever. From what Howard had said, it seemed Joe had a special soft spot for


    Skr–something Joe himself might not even realize.


    Earlier, Skr had been sleeping during the drive. Joe held her close and still, speaking in a very


    soft voice to avoid waking her.


    Joe cast a cold nce at Paul.


    Paul immediately looked away. He certainly didn’t dare to say in front of Skr that Joe was very


    busy.


    In just a few minutes, they arrived at the hotel. After checking in, Paul ordered some food in the


    room. They had their meal in the suite.


    After finishing, Skr changed into a different outfit. Then, Joe took her for a walk.


    The streets were rtively quiet. They didn’t walk too far. It was just a casual stroll out of curiosity.


    While strolling, Skr noticed their hands intertwined. Their fingers locked together.


    Her heart skipped a beat.


    Joe didn’t notice Skr’s gaze on their joined hands and assumed she was interested in a nearby


    shop. He said, “Let’s go check it out.”


    Skr followed him into the bakery. The shop was filled with a tempting array of baked goods. Even


    though she had just eaten, Skr was still drawn to the pastries.


    As she was selecting which ones to buy, Joe received a phone call.
