Richest Mogul

Chapter 288

Early the next morning, Skylar felt sore all over as she got out of bed. Looking at the mess scattered around the room, she rubbed her forehead.

“It’s only 5.30 am. Why not sleep a bit longer?” Joe asked from the bed.

Skylar wrapped herself in a towel and headed to the closet to pick out her clothes.

“I’m going to make breakfast. We had a lot of stew for dinner last night, and my stomach feels uncomfortable. You go ahead and sleep.”

She blushed at the thought of the staff from Pearlhall Residence coming to clean up the mess, including the disheveled bed. She decided to clean up after preparing breakfast.

When Skylar refused to look at him, Joe teased with a smile, “Why don’t you call me darling anymore? I quite liked it when you called me that last night.”

He got out of bed and followed her to the closet.

Skylar took a deep breath. “You forced me.”

“And how exactly did I force you?”
