My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 

“Thanks, Grandma. I’m feeling much better today. I’ll visit to keep you company at Pearlhall Residence. once I recover completely,” said Skylar. 

She only realized that Joe was looking at her the entire time after she sat down. So, she asked, “Do you 

need something?” 

Joe shot her a sarcastic, biting look. “Aren’t you surprisingly good at buttering up to Grandma?” 

“I’m not buttering up to her. It’s called giving and receiving. Grandma’s nice to me and had someone deliver breakfast for me, so it’s only fair that I politely thank her. 

“Do you have something against sincere social interactions, Mr. Martin? Or do you think it’s Grandma’s duty to deliver this breakfast for me, so I don’t have to thank her at all?” Skylar refuted. 

That made Joe completely speechless. He found Skylar incredibly sharp–tongued. It was no wonder Gloria always forgot about his existence when she was with Skylar. 

For the rest of the meal, the two didn’t exchange another word. It was only when Skylar wanted to do the dishes that Joe spoke up. “Keep them there. I’ll do it.” 

“Okay, thanks.” Skylar didn’t bother playing nice or refuse his help. 

She decided that she would take the initiative to bear the household chores whenever Joe got sick within 

these three years. 

Although she was a little displeased this morning, she couldn’t deny that Joe had taken good care of her at home and on the way back from the auction house last night. 

Because of that, she didn’t plan on arguing with him over petty matters. 

She fell asleep again after returning to her room. 

It was already 10:00 am when Skylar cracked open her bleary eyes. 

She felt more energized after her nap this time. Yet, she had just gotten out of bed when she received a 

call from Charles. 

“Skye, I heard you fell sick. Are you feeling any better now? Do you need me to accompany you?” he asked. 

“I’m fine now, Charles. I took some medication last night and woke up feeling much better this morning. Plus, I just took another nap. I’m completely fine now. I’m even thinking of going to visit Mom’s workplace. 

“Alright, then. I wanted to show you that I’m as competent of a brother as Steven is. Too bad you didn’t give me the chance to do it.7 

Skylar chuckled and replied, “You’re already an amazing person in your own right.”

Laughter bubbled from Charles. “I don’t care much for others‘ praises, but I love it when you shower me 

with compliments.” 

The siblings chatted for a little more before ending the call. 

Then, Skylar changed into a fresh set of clothes and put on simple, light makeup before driving to Janine’s 

workplace. 

There wasn’t much congestion on the road, so she soon arrived at Jubilance Hotel, where Janine worked 

as a housekeeper. 

Jubilance Hotel was not only a five–star hotel but also had an award–winning restaurant inside it. 

Janine was a mother of four children and usually didn’t make an effort with her appearance. Even so, she was a natural beauty and didn’t have many wrinkles, despite being 48 years old. 

Sometimes, others often mistook her for Skylar’s sister if the two were out in public together. 

Janine earned little from her housekeeping job. Her monthly salary was about 4500 dollars. Even if she worked every possible shift, she’d only earn about 5000 dollars. 

After deducting her rental fees, she’d end up with 3500 dollars a month. The remaining amount was barely enough for her to do anything with it. 

Fortunately, Steven and Charles had been helping to cover some of the household expenses after they’d started working. Plus, Harvey was frugal with money. All of them chipped in some effort to support the 

family.
