With much patience, Tobias explained, “This is a Five Line Sak Yant, one of Thailand’s most sacred

tattoos. It is believed that having this tattoo will bring luck, protection, fortune, health, and good

relationships.”

Skylar tiptoed to touch the mysterious tattoo on his back. For a moment, she felt as if she had

depreciated him by thinking he would tattoo her name. He is a mature man, after all. He’s not some

hot-headed guy who would tattoo a woman’s name on his body.

“You are already filthy rich, but you’re still hoping for more fortune?” she muttered.

Tobias carried her to the bed and tucked her in. “Instead of fortune, I got the tattoo because I wished it

would bring me good luck. For the past two years, life was not going my way. It’s hard to explain, but I

feel like everything is destined. Now, I take all obstacles in life as my redemption to free myself from my

sins.”

Skylar didn’t ask further questions. Although they were in a relationship, the two of them lived in two

completely different worlds. Even until now, she knew little about him and his life.

Since there was no basin in the room, Tobias headed to the washroom to wet a towel for her to clean

herself up.

When he came out of the washroom with the wet towel, he realized she had already fallen asleep. The

room was silent except for the buzzing sound of the air-conditioner.

The size of the bed was quite small. Her body had occupied more than half of the space even though

she was only five feet tall.

Tobias didn’t have the heart to shift her body for fear that he would wake her up, so he resorted to

sitting on the armchair throughout the night.

The next morning, Skylar was awakened by the loud and continuous knocks on the door. “Skylar, open

the door! I need to use the washroom!”

In an instant, she was fully awake when she recalled that Kai would come to her room every morning to

use the washroom.

Tobias found the voice of the person speaking outside the room familiar. He turned to look at Skylar,

who had already put on her clothes though her hair was still messy.

She was now in a state of agitation, and there was no time for her to tidy her hair. Since she was here

to work, she was reluctant to let anyone know that there was a man in her room to avoid creating a bad

impression. Apart from that, she felt that it was better to keep their relationship on the down-low

because of Tobias’s unique identity.

That being said, there was no place for him to hide in the room.

Her heart thumped wildly in her chest when Tobias walked toward the door, reaching his hand for the

doorknob. It was inevitable that the two men would meet each other face to face.

As expected, Kai was stunned when he saw Tobias was the one opening the door.

He was so shocked, in fact, that for a brief moment, he actually thought he was still dreaming.

Casting his eyes over Tobias’s shoulder, Kai caught sight of the messy bed. From Tobias’s presence

early in the morning and the strong fishy odor lingering in the room, as a man who had sexual

experience, he could easily tell that they had had sex the other night.

Skylar felt awkward, especially when she recalled Tobias throwing the crumpled tissues and used

condoms in the dustbin somewhere near where Kai was standing, beside the door.

Meanwhile, Tobias was composed all the while. As for Kai, he acted as if the world had crumbled upon

him. “Skylar, why are you two together? So, Tobias is your boyfriend?”

Tobias cast a glance at Kai and then at Skylar. “Why can’t we be together? Is there a problem with us

being a couple?”

It was not a heartwarming reunion of the cousins as Skylar expected. Instead, there was tension in the

air.

Kai questioned her harshly, “Why didn’t you tell me? You know that I…” he trailed off.

The atmosphere in the room became tenser.

Truth be told, Skylar didn’t tell him of her relationship with Tobias because things were better left

unsaid. She was afraid he would misunderstand her as someone who wanted to ruin Tobias’s

engagement with Tanya.

“Well, now you know,” Tobias said nonchalantly and patted Kai on the shoulder. Then, he asked, “Have

you eaten? Wanna have breakfast together?”

Kai had lost all his appetite. The disappointment was barely veiled in his eyes when he looked at

Skylar. He thought she was just an ordinary girl with no background. He even felt sorry for her, thinking

that she joined the crew alone. Now it turned out he was a fool all along.

Skylar stood rooted to the spot like a child who had done something wrong. Even though she knew Kai

had misunderstood her, she couldn’t explain herself right now.
