My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1660

Perhaps it was seeing Skylar that made Wendy feel a bit more appetite. The roast chicken was just what she needed, and paired with the freshly delivered pastries, it was the perfect combination.

After eating, she felt a noticeable lift in her mood.

"I heard from Simona that you've been busy lately," Wendy remarked casually.

Skylar nodded. "There was a batch of antiques I had to deal with, but I still made time for dinner with you. It's been a while, and I really wanted to catch up."

Even in the dim lighting of the small bistro, Skylar could tell Wendy had lost some weight. Her complexion looked pale and slightly fatigued.

Even without Wendy saying a word, Skylar could sense that something was off with her.

"I've been wanting to talk to you too. Work has been crazy lately. I've been on a project that required overtime almost every day. I'm glad we could both carve out time tonight."

Her eyes grew misty as she spoke, betraying her exhaustion and frustration. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

There were things she knew she couldn't confide in Skylar or Simona. Some issues had to be faced and resolved on her own.

"Have you not been getting enough rest these past few days?" Skylar asked.

Wendy gave a small laugh, brushing it off lightly. "I've been pushing hard for the project bonus, so I've been putting in extra hours. Once it's over, I'll get some rest.

"Oh, and I almost forgot—I went to a mall the other day during lunch break and saw this toy. They say it's something kids like. Please give it to Vivian for me. It's been so long since I saw her, and I really miss her."

Wendy had always liked children, especially Vivian. The little one was so soft and adorable, and she could always make Wendy feel better.

No matter what troubles she had, everything seemed to disappear when she was around Vivian.

"Vivian will love it. I'll be sure to thank you on her behalf," Skylar replied, accepting the toy.
