My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1418

The profile picture clearly depicted a woman. A message popped up saying, "Are you asleep?"

Simona felt a tightness in her chest immediately. She didn't have time to read anything else.

The familiarity in the inquiry indicated that the sender must be someone very close to Stephen. Simona noticed Stephen quickly exit the chat window and didn't ask what was going on, feeling a twinge of curiosity.

"Is there something urgent she needs from you? Shouldn't you call her back?"

Deep down, she wanted to ask who this person was. The profile didn't seem to belong to any of their classmates or club members. The woman in the picture looked unfamiliar yet attractive.

Simona was aware that many girls liked Stephen, and it was impossible for him not to interact with women. She wasn't the type to get jealous easily and didn't want to make things uncomfortable for Stephen, so she refrained from probing further into the woman's identity.

However, an unsettling feeling prickled in her heart. The longer she spent with Stephen, the more she felt he was hard to understand.

It seemed like Stephen had secrets. Even though the lighting in the cinema was dim, and they were sitting close together, it was hard to make out each other's expressions.

Yet, Stephen could sense that Simona had seen something and that she was starting to doubt him.

"Oh, that's just the manager of my part-time job at the café. She's probably asking me to cover a shift tonight. I don't need to respond to her now. I'll tell her tomorrow that I went to bed early tonight," Stephen quickly explained.

A wave of panic washed over him, but he quickly reminded himself that he had faced this kind of situation before and knew how to handle it.

Upon hearing that it was the café's manager who had messaged him, Simona's earlier suspicions faded away. "Oh, I see. Well, the movie's about to end, so let's go."

Seeing the doubt in Simona's eyes disappear, Stephen sighed in relief. "Okay, let's go."
