My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1300

Caleb first saw Simona, and only after speaking did he notice the person sitting across from her.

There was a handsome young man with delicate features.

"And this is?" He glanced at the young man with curiosity.

When Stephen saw Caleb, he immediately felt guarded and wary. Being able to dine at such a place and knowing Simona indicated that he was someone from the same social circle.

With just one look, Stephen could tell that the man before him was different from ordinary people like himself.

"Caleb? What a coincidence. This is my boyfriend, Stephen. We just made our relationship official, so I haven't told many friends yet," Simona said.

She didn't want to hide anything, especially since they had already run into each other. Introducing Stephen to her friends would be a good start, as he would eventually meet them anyway.

Stephen felt a bit uneasy but managed to remain composed as he stood up and extended his hand toward Caleb. "Hello, I'm Stephen Pearce, Simona's boyfriend."

Caleb shook Stephen's hand and smiled. "Caleb Gardner, a friend of Simona's."

"Caleb and I have known each other since we were kids. You don't have to feel nervous around him. We'll be seeing each other often," Simona quickly said, worried that Stephen might feel uncomfortable.

Stephen smiled and said, "Okay."

What he felt wasn't nervousness but an ingrained sense of inferiority. He felt that Caleb was scrutinizing him, assessing whether he was worthy of being Simona's boyfriend.

Stephen's expression gave him an inexplicable feeling. He looked like he was scheming something.

Of course, it was possible that he was just being overly suspicious due to recent exposure to complicated situations and overthinking things.

"You're not intruding, of course. We see each other all the time at university, and since you're a friend of Simona's, you should just join us," Stephen said before Simona could speak.

Simona immediately nodded. "No intrusion at all. Sit down."

Caleb was not one to overthink things. So he took a seat.

The rest of the meal appeared to be an enjoyable experience for everyone.
