When she saw Kai spaced out at the entrance, Skylar patted him on the shoulder. She asked with a

smile, “Thinking of some pretty girls?”

Kai regained his senses. “No, there’s no pretty girl. No one is more beautiful than you.”

Kai wasn’t flattering Skylar on purpose as she was indeed a beauty. He was actually thinking about the

reason she and Tobias were together. It must be her looks.

Finally, Skylar almost spent all her money while Pollyanna’s hands were filled with shopping bags.

Before she left, Pollyanna insisted to have her number which Skylar provided.

Meanwhile, Kai felt that the little girl was too smart for her own good and that it wasn’t such a good idea

for Skylar to be so close to her.

The cold moonlight finally shone on the quiet village in the hills.

Kai picked up some tall grass from the roadside and gave them to Skylar. “These are for you, to

celebrate the successful completion of filming.”

Skylar bent down and plucked a few more. Using her nimble fingers, she weaved them into a small

rabbit.

“And this is for you.”

Kai broke into a smile. “You’re more generous than I am. Is he picking you up tomorrow? I doubt he is.”

Skylar shook her head. “He’s been busy recently. I’ll be heading home by myself.”

“Are you staying together?” Despite his reluctance, Kai still asked about it.

Skylar didn’t answer. She didn’t want Kai to know too much and have it affect Tobias.

When Skylar didn’t answer, Kai took it as an implicit yes.

He sighed. “Tobias is by far the most heartless man I have seen. And you are someone who is so kind

that you even cared for a random little girl whom you do not know. I’m just worried that you will suffer

without even knowing it in the end. But don’t worry, I’m here to protect you. After all, you’re a good

friend of mine. Fate has brought us together.”

Skylar frowned slightly as she felt Kai was being dramatic. Deep down, she could feel him resenting

Tobias and that their relationship was a rocky one.

After they left W Province, Skylar was picked up at the airport by Tobias’ driver. He was already waiting

with a big sign with her name written crookedly on it.

The driver was a middle-aged man who looked honest and reliable. The car was parked in the

basement car park. When she entered, she saw Susan.

She had met Susan once and knew that she was Tobias’ secretary. The last time they met was when

Susan came to pick her up from her dorm and brought her to see Tobias in the hotel. It was the night

Avery offered herself to him.

Susan greeted her without any expression, “Ms. Jones, we meet again. You must have had a long

journey. Mr. Ford sent me to pick you up.”

Skylar replied with a smile, “I’m fine as I managed to catch some sleep on the flight. You didn’t have to

come as I could have gone home by myself.”

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Susan turned around and glanced at Skylar. There was a cold glint

in her eye. “He’s at The Bay Restaurant. He wanted me to take you there.”

As the car drove towards The Bay Restaurant, Skylar still felt full from the meal she ate on the plane.

As it was eight in the evening, the restaurant was very crowded. Susan led Skylar to room 301.

When she saw the room number, she suddenly recalled the time when she was serving drinks at

Elysium. The room was of the same number where she reunited with Tobias. Circumstances were

different then as Tobias was ruthless and cruel. He almost f*ck her on the spot.

Six months had passed since then.

Skylar assumed that Tobias was in the room alone. When she followed Susan in, she was surprised to

see the room filled with people. The men were all smartly dressed while the women dolled up to the

nines. When Skylar entered amidst the clinking wine glasses, everyone turned their attention to her.

Tobias whispered something to a lady in a red V-neck dress and she stood up and gave up her seat.

Tobias then gestured for Skylar to come over. As this was the first time Tobias invited Skylar to attend

such a formal event, she was puzzled as to why he didn’t tell her beforehand. After a long and arduous

journey, her face was oily while she was still in loose casual clothing. She felt rude to not have dressed

any better.
