Richest Mogul

Chapter 6

In the past two years, Gloria’s favorite show had changed from dramatic soap operas to dating variety shows. The more scripted it was, the more she enjoyed it.

It seemed that Skylar indeed got along with Gloria.

Joe’s gaze intensified as he scrutinized Skylar, who was engrossed in discussing the show’s participants with Gloria. He had been standing there for some time, yet none of them had acknowledged his presence.

Gloria saw him first. Startled, she raised her brows and asked, “When did you come? You didn’t even

make a sound!”

Skylar glanced at him, and the smile on her face vanished in an instant. She nodded at him politely.

“I just got here.”

Skylar’s drastic change of expression slightly threw Joe off. He felt like he had overlooked something, but

he couldn’t be sure.

“How could you work until so late when you’ve just gotten married today? You’re still being held up at work for so long, even when you have so many people working for you!

“In that case, I think it’s about time to restructure the company. Hurry up and go back to Galaxy Villa with Skye. Treat her well, okay?”

Gloria rolled her eyes at Joe. She missed how adorable he had been as a child; his current aloofness

upset her.

Well, she preferred Skylar a lot more now. She reveled in Skylar’s company because they could watch and discuss dating shows together.

Joe let out a subdued response in agreement. He said nothing further.

Sending daggers his way, Gloria said, “It’s a blessing that you were able to marry Skye! You better treat her

well.”

Joe frowned. He was curious about how on earth Skylar had managed to appease Gloria.
