Richest Mogul 1118


    The next day, Skr and Paul were preparing to return to Jipsburg City. Lizzie would also be


    heading back in a few days, and she had made ns with Skr to have dinner together once she


    returned.


    Herman, who had already freed himself from his troubles, felt refreshed after a night’s rest. He


    apanied Lizzie to the airport to see Skr and Paul off.


    Carl and Winona even prepared arge bag of local specialties for Skr.


    When the nended, Skr was surprised to see Joe waiting to pick her up. Instinctively, she


    nced around, feeling a wave of caution wash over her.


    Noticing her reaction, Joe chuckled and said, “They wouldn’t dare send anyone to follow me now.”


    “That’s a relief,” Skr sighed.


    There had been no updates on Kevin’s whereabouts, so she couldn’t let her guard down.


    As they drove away from the airport, Skr took a bottle of water from Joe and sipped it before


    speaking. “The negative items in Herman’s possession and those appearing in Jipsburg recently


    aren’t from the same source.”


    Joe’s expression grew serious. “That person’s reach isn’t that extensive. Their target is a few


    families in Jipsburg.”


    Skr nodded in agreement.


    While looking at Joe sitting beside her, she suddenly recalled the words Vi had spoken in her


    dream yesterday and the letter she had left behind. A heavy feeling settled in her chest.


    “Missing me?” Joe teased, noticing Skr’s lost gaze.


    Skr quickly nced at Paul in the passenger seat, a new appreciation for Joe’s boldness


    dawning on her.

    She quickly turned her head to look out the window. “It was clear and sunny yesterday. Why is it so


    overcast today?”


    The gloomy weather weighed heavily on her heart. The dark clouds seemed to threaten a torrential


    downpour at any moment.


    Joe nced out the window as well. “The weather forecast says it will rain in about an hour.


    “Are you still going to the office?” Skr asked as she nced at the time.


    Joe simply replied, “No.”


    He could sense that Skr’s mood was off today.


    Sitting in the passenger seat, Paul noticed that his presence might be too much of a third wheel. He


    nced at the road ahead and said, “Mr. Martin, I can get out here. There’s a mall nearby, and I


    need to buy some skincare products for my mom.”


    He had a two–day holiday to use. Though this location was close to the office, it wouldn’t be a


    problem if he missed two days.


    With the boss not heading to work, he felt no need to go either and decided to use both days off.


    Joe simply replied with a nomittal grunt.


    Lucas pulled over after checking the traffic conditions, allowing Paul to get out. 20 minutester, Joe


    and Skr arrived home.


    Skr had eaten lunch on the ne and wasn’t hungry yet. After showering, she noticed Joe was


    conducting a video conference in the study.


    She didn’t want to interrupt him, so she headed to the kitchen to brew two cups of coffee. By the


    time the coffee was ready, Joe had finished his meeting.


    Neither of them liked to add sugar to their coffee. Living together had unconsciously familiarized


    them with each other’s habits.


    Before they could finish their coffee, Joe pulled Skr against the table and kissed her deeply. They


    made their way from the living room to the bedroom.


    In such matters, Joe always took the lead. However, they knew each other’s bodies well, and their


    chemistry was undeniable. They lost track of time, and it was quitete when it was finally over.


    As Skr drifted in and out of sleep, the aroma of food wafted through the air.


    The differences in physical stamina between men and women were quite apparent. After their


    intimacy, she felt too exhausted to move, while Joe seemed as energized as ever.
