My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Maxine glanced around nervously. Once she was sure no one was watching, she let out a sigh of relief.

She then quickly pretended not to see Charles and hurried back to her trailer. Inside her trailer, Maxine's eyes were red again. Her makeup artist, who had been helping her change her looks, couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

In just a few days, Maxine had changed so drastically. It was as though she had suffered a great injustice. Such a promising actress with an incredible future ahead couldn't possibly have so many reasons to be sad.

Yet, over the past few days, it was as if she had become a completely different person-often with red-rimmed eyes and unusually quiet.

The people on set started whispering that she might have experienced heartbreak, which, given her behavior, seemed plausible.

An hour later, Skylar arrived at the set with several portions of cut fruit, along with some smoothie and coffee for the crew.

Since this was a new production, not many people knew Skylar. But they became warm and welcoming once they learned that she was Charles' sister. Having heard of Skylar, the project director even added her on WhatsApp.

He mentioned that his next project was about appraising real and fake antiques, and he hoped Skylar could serve as a consultant.

Such work opportunities had been cropping up more often in recent years, and Skylar occasionally visited the set when she had free time.

After speaking with the director, Charles pulled Skylar aside and quietly said, "I'll take you to meet Maxine. But just so you know, her mood hasn't been great these last few days. When I spoke to you on the phone earlier, I saw her looking down, even crying on the phone.

"You might want to be prepared. She'll probably just greet you out of politeness because of me."

This was his first time helping his sister meet a celebrity, and he was a bit worried that Maxine's attitude might make Skylar feel uncomfortable. Skylar had come to meet Maxine and hoped to confirm a few things.

Skylar smiled and nodded. "I understand."

As they made their way to Maxine's rest area, Charles whispered, "She was so lively just a few days ago, but now, whenever she's not filming, she's not even at the set."

When they reached Maxine's room, Charles knocked on the door. Within seconds, it opened. Maxine was alone in the room.

Seeing that it was Charles coming to find her, Maxine was a bit surprised. "Mr. Sullivan?"

She had just been crying, but perhaps she had fixed her makeup, so it wasn't as obvious. Yet, from up close, it was clear that her eyes were red and slightly swollen.

"This is my sister, Skylar Sullivan. She's a big fan of yours." Charles pretended not to notice Maxine's red eyes.

Over the past few days, Maxine's mood had been off, and everyone in the crew had noticed. It had become so obvious that it was no longer a surprise.

Maxine looked at Skylar and gave her a faint smile. "Thank you for liking me."

Skylar observed Maxine without a change in her expression.

There was always a subtle maic connection between people. If someone didn't click with you at first sight, the relationship would probably remain at a superficial level.

This was what people often called being on different frequencies.

But despite her young age and apparent tack of worldly experience, Maxine's eyes were exceptionally clear, Skylar smiled and asked. "Could we have a private

conversation?"

Maxine was taken aback but still agreed. After all, Skylar was Charles' sister. Not only was Maxine surprised, but even Charles stood there with wide eyes.

"Private conversation?" he thought to himself in disbelief.noveldrama
