Skylar helped her to the ladies. While waiting outside for her, she heard her retching non-stop. She was grateful for what happened at Elysium when she was serving drinks to pay for Jeremy’s medical fees.
If Tobias hadn’t rescued her from her predicament, she surmised she would be in the same situation as the girl, being forced into corners by lecherous men.
When the girl came out from the toilet, she didn’t even dry her face after washing it with cold water. As her wet hair stuck to her face, she took a deep breath before lighting a cigarette.
“My name is Luciana Walter, thanks for interceding on my behalf today. If not for you, I would have been ruined by that man. They had no respect for women.”
Skylar passed her a pack of tissues. “No thanks needed. Next time, don’t go binge drinking. Even if you’re in your prime, it will definitely take a toll on your body. Since you know they have no respect for women, you should keep your distance from them.”
Leaning against the wall, Luciana couldn’t help but laugh. “Who doesn’t want to go home at this hour and sleep. I have no choice as I need the money. Despite how hard it is, I can make more money in one dinner than a pretty manager does in a year.”
Tobias had left the private room in search of Skylar and saw her chatting with Luciana outside the ladies.
When their eyes met from afar, he was barely smiling. Skylar could sense that he was upset over her so-called heroic actions at the dinner table.
Before she left, Luciana thanked her again but Skylar said nothing. The next time she encountered something like that, she wasn’t going to step in and help. All she did was getting in the way of others making money.
As Tobias had a lot to drink, the driver was already waiting at the door. As Skylar followed behind him, both of them didn’t say a word on the way home.
In the car, they were seated at the back. Tobias’ inherent white sandalwood scent had been covered by the stench of alcohol. It was so strong that she felt somewhat drunk just by smelling it.
Susan was sitting in the front passenger seat. When Tobias kept his silence, she gave the driver the address and had him drive them to Bella Garden.
