“Movie? That’s an interesting suggestion. I’ve never watched a movie before, actually. In fact, I have

never been to the cinemas,” Tobias admitted.

Skylar’s eyes widened in surprise. “You’re telling me that you own several cinemas, but have never

watched a movie yourself? Don’t try to fool me.”

Tobias shrugged off her exclamation.

“I don’t have the time, company, or interest to watch one.”

No company? If you wanted to watch any movie, including those explicit ones, I bet a flock of ladies will

make themselves available to be with you in an instant.

But going back to the main topic, Skylar conceded after seeing how disinterested Tobias looked. “I’ll

just catch it when it’s uploaded online. Let’s go.”

Tobias observed her silently, noting how the lady appeared significantly more enthusiastic about

watching a film than getting herself new handbags and clothes. He also noticed how her gaze parted

from the movie poster with great reluctance.

After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Maybe we should watch that movie instead. Suits your age

better.” Skylar followed the direction of his pointed finger.

He was gesturing to a kids’ movie.

Skylar sighed at his childishness. “Forget it. Let’s go. Horror movies don’t appeal to everyone, and I

understand that.”

Tobias pulled her back. “Are you sure you want to watch the horror movie? What if I get a heart attack

during the film? You do know that I’m getting old, and that my heart can fail me anytime, right?”

Old? You’re only thirty!

But the lady made no actual reply. She merely stood there with tentative anticipation, hoping that the

man would change his mind. Eventually, Tobias could not resist her pleading look and gave in.

“I’ll go get the tickets. Wait over here.”

Seated at the lounge area, Skylar pulled the hem of his shirt, holding him back. “I’ve already said that

this is my treat.” Then, she pulled out a brand new note ceremoniously and handed it over to him.

The note was part of her hard-earned part-time wages.

The man kept the note in his pocket, but paid using money from his own wallet instead. Instead, Skylar

watched the man at the ticket counter with amusement.

Does he not know how to use mobile payment? He really needs to keep up with the times… Skylar

chuckled to herself.

When Tobias returned, he caught sight of a couple seated near Skylar.

“Honey, I want popcorn,” said the lady.

Her partner pinched her cheek affectionately. “What flavor do you want?”

“They only have the original flavor here. Oh by the way, I’m scared of horror movies, so you need to

hold me tightly later on, alright?”

The conversation prompted Tobias to take a look at Skylar. The lady seemed nonchalant, or even

unaware of the sight happening before her. He sighed internally. Oh, the disparity. Why can’t she be

more forthcoming like that?

The couple’s exchange also reminded Tobias of something else – they did not have any drinks or

snacks for the movie. Instinctively, he went off and got the largest popcorn box and two cans of soft

drink.

Before heading into the movie hall, Tobias asked once again, “Are you sure about this?” In response,

Skylar merely taunted, “What? You’re already feeling the jitters?”

Tobias chuckled. “Oh please. Fear is not in my dictionary.”

It was not an exaggeration. The man had offended too many people, but still lived fine in the end. As a

result, he been blasé about things like vengeful ghosts and monsters. I’d be dead by now if they can

actually harm me.

When they entered the screening hall, Tobias immediately realized his mistake – he had booked the

front row seats. It was a greatly wasted opportunity to do certain things amidst the pitch black

environment.
