An air of despondency surrounded Kai as he still needed some time to accept the reality. “No thanks. I

don’t have much of an appetite,” he turned Tobias’s invitation down. With that, he turned and left.

Skylar heaved a sigh of relief once Kai was out of sight.

Just then, she heard Tobias asking, “It seems like you’re close with Kai. Why didn’t you tell me that

you’re cast in the same film as him?”

Biting her lips, she raised her head to face Tobias, who was sitting on the armchair. “I was afraid that

you will be annoyed if I told you everything that happened. Besides, I didn’t mean to hide it from you; I

just forgot to tell you about it.”

Tobias flashed her a faint smile, flinging her back with her own words, “It seems like someone has

forgotten that she has sent me messages before, telling me what she ate for lunch. Aren’t you afraid

that this might annoy me?”

Skylar couldn’t help sighing internally. It sure requires a lot of mental effort to communicate with him.

“Alright, let’s go and have breakfast. I bet you must be hungry now after an exhausting night,” he said,

looking at her affectionately. At that moment, there seemed to be sweetness in the air.

“They don’t sell breakfast here. We need to get our breakfast at the film set. You can wait here while I

grab you a few croissants.”

“Why can’t we go together? Am I embarrassing you?” he asked softly.

Skylar wanted to hide him from everyone, especially Katrina, who hinted that she had an intimate

relationship with him previously. She was worried that Katrina would try to rekindle her relationship with

him, and he would get back to his old flame.

Having no idea of her worries, Tobias simply walked out of the room and headed to the film set.

Skylar had no choice but to follow suit. Suddenly, as if something came to mind, she called out,

“Tobias, last night, you… you…” Her face flushed as she stuttered.

Upon hearing her words, Tobias halted his steps in the middle of the corridor.

Skylar took a deep breath to regain her composure. “No, it was not last night. I mean, we had sex this

morning. So I guess I meant to say morning? Since it was after midnight…” she started blabbering

again.

Looking at her, he asked patiently, “So, what are you trying to say?”

The latter bit her lips, trying to overcome her shyness. Then, she gabbled in a barely audible voice,

“You didn’t use a condom, and they don’t sell contraceptive pills here. What should I do?”

Wrapping his arm around her shoulder, Tobias reassured her, “I promised that I wouldn’t let you take

contraceptive pills ever again. Don’t worry. You won’t get pregnant since I didn’t release inside you.”

Skylar pushed her worries to the back of her mind since she could only trust in him for now.

Meanwhile, at the film set, Lisa came running while yelling in excitement. “Katrina! I saw Tobias Ford!”

Katrina, who was enjoying her oatmeal, put her spoon down. “You must be dreaming. How is it possible

for someone like Tobias to show up in this dump?”

Lisa tried to convince her, “I swear he’s here! I saw him and Skylar standing in front of her room.”

Katrina grew even more doubtful upon hearing her manager’s words. “Is this a joke? Are you trying to

mess around with me early in the morning?”

Before this, she had always believed that there was no such thing as love at first sight. However, her

mindset changed when she encountered Tobias at the hotel. She knew immediately he was the man

she would settle with for life. If only I could meet him once again.

Tobias was the man of her dreams; everything about him matched her expectations. Even though he

didn’t even know her, she needed to thank the media for fabricating news and misleading the public

about their relationship after taking the photo of them entering the hotel almost simultaneously.

Just then, Lisa pointed at the food display counter that was some distance away. “Katrina, it’s Tobias!

He’s here! He’s standing right beside Skylar!”

Katrina rose to her feet to look in the direction where Lisa was pointing at. Her heart sank when she

saw Tobias and Skylar standing next to each other. Lisa was right!

In the meantime, Skylar was introducing the food provided. “What do you want to eat? Do you prefer a

vegan sandwich or a croissant? Oh! There’s taco as well.” There was a considerable difference in

temperature during the night and the day. Although it was summer, the morning breeze brushing across

her face was still a little chilly.

“Anything will do. Skylar, I’m going to find Kai. You can eat first without me.”

Skylar nodded in response. She was still bothered by an inexplicable feeling of guilt toward Kai. Kai

was right. I should’ve told him earlier.
