Skylar frowned. I’m pretty sure I didn’t stutter. Did he not hear me well? ”The company has somehow blacklisted

me, so I don’t have any work to do at the moment. No commercial to shoot, no performance to do.”

Tobias took out his phone from his pocket and scrolled through his contacts to find Valerie’s number.

Skylar immediately stopped him. “No, I don’t need your help. Thanks, but I can handle it on my own. I don’t think

she can do that for long. If I still don’t have any job opportunity once the film is aired, that’s considered abuse of

power. I’m not blacklisted without reason. It’s because I refused to be the host of a children’s show and defied the

company’s arrangement for me, so it’s not her fault.”

He rested his chin on his hand and looked at her. “What the hell? A host for a kids’ show? Is she out of her mind?”

Skylar put up a tough front and insisted that she could handle it by herself.

He eventually relented and let her be as he also wanted to give Valerie a chance to come to her senses before he

took action.

One day, in late November, the cold wind swept across the city, and the temperature dropped sharply.

The weather changed quickly. It felt like early spring yesterday, but the city was as cold as ice on the next day.

Since Tobias had nothing much to do at home, he accompanied Skylar to have some paperwork done at the

university.

She wanted to get back to class as soon as possible, but winter break was around the corner, so she had no choice

but to extend her leave of absence before her authorized leave came to an end.

Now that her popularity had increased, she beat Avery and became the campus diva. Unfortunately, as the most

popular girl, she spent very little time at the university.

To avoid any hassle, she did not want Tobias to enter the university building with her. Therefore, she asked him to

park the car nearby as he waited for her in the car.

Looking through the window, Tobias saw a young couple not far away from him. They were wearing matching T-

shirts with jeans and canvas shoes of similar color.

The girl was sipping on her coffee while the guy took a muffin out of the paper bag in his hand and brought it to her

mouth.

Watching them did not make Tobias feel nostalgic or sentimental, but it did remind him of Idania, whom he dated

when he was a student.

Everything was much simpler back then. Even our love for each other was pure and true.

Now that several years have passed, I still have no idea who was the one who caused us to break up.

That time, I knew that she was going to leave me, and I let her go. I guess I got fed up with the relationship, so that

was why I hadn’t bothered to get her back.

To be honest, I know that I have the same scary thoughts crossing my mind occasionally when I’m with Skylar as

well.

Sometimes, I feel like being single is much more relaxing than having a partner because having a girlfriend usually

takes up a lot of my time and even holds me back from pursuing greater things in life.

Luckily, Skylar is tolerable. She is not clingy and gives me the privacy that I need. Therefore, so far, we’re quite

compatible, and I don’t plan on leaving her just yet.

Since Skylar was a celebrity now, the university staff had a 180-degree change in their attitude toward her. They

prepared all the documents required for her extension of leave, so all she needed to do in the office was to put her

signature on those forms.

After she settled everything, she stepped out of the office with a face mask and a beanie. A gust of chilly wind

swept over her, and she instinctively tugged her chin into the scarf around her neck and walked briskly across the

campus.

As the autumn wind continued to blow, the fallen leaves swirled and danced in the air, lifting up the dust on the

ground. She sneezed, suddenly feeling weak and sluggish in the cold weather.

Since she was a child, she tended to catch a bad cold whenever there was a change in season. Despite that, she

was rarely admitted into the hospital. Whenever she was sick in the past, Meredith would always give her plenty of

medicine and said that going to the hospital was just a waste of money.

After she walked out of the campus, neither Tobias nor his car could be seen. She tried to search for him within the

vicinity but to no avail.

Therefore, she took out her phone and sent him a voice message. “Tobias, where are you? I can’t find your car.”

A few seconds later, he replied, saying, “Walk two hundred meters southeast from the gate, and I’ll be at your

three o’clock.”

Frowning in displeasure, she responded, “Can you please be clear? Which direction is the southeast? What is the

three o’clock direction? How do I know if I’m facing north or south?”
