However, both her tone and body language were filled with repulsion. “You took his money again? Who is he really to give you five hundred thousand that easily? This money is a lifetime of savings of another ordinary person.”
“I borrowed the money but you don’t have to repay me in a hurry. Just take your time.” Skylar didn’t want to give Penelope too much pressure.
She already had enough bad luck. Before she even graduated, she was cheated of so much money. Given how hard it was to make money now, there was no way she could earn much even if she worked non-stop.
Penelope was close to being driven mad by the debt collectors. Therefore, she had no choice but to take the check while insisting that she would repay everything.
Skylar heaved a sigh of relief when Penelope accepted the money. After all, she had been kept up the whole night by Tobias just so that she could get it.
Even then, Penelope didn’t forget to show Skylar a picture of her new boyfriend. Skylar was impressed that under such dire circumstances, Penelope still had the mood to be in a relationship.
When Skylar leaned in to look at the picture on Penelope’s phone, she saw a guy who had permed his hair to make it look frizzy. Even through the screen, she could feel that he was a jerk.
Penelope was always like that. Her taste in guys was extremely different from Skylar’s. Hence, there would never be a case where both of them as best friends would fight over the same man.
She commented insincerely, “He’s alright, just a little strange.”
“What do you mean by ‘strange’?”
Skylar replied, “He doesn’t look like someone you could rely on.”
There was no way Penelope shared Skylar’s opinion.
She explained, “We have a very good relationship. Every day, we would talk a lot on the phone and yet still have so much to say.”
