Kate would’ve believed in Skylar’s glorified statements if not for her absence of mind whenever Tobias didn’t get in touch with her. The latter would always check her phone for texts or calls from Tobias.
Winnie arrived at the recording studio moments later, dressed in a down jacket with a revealing camisole inside. Her choice of outfit—is she feeling warm or cold?
When Winnie saw Skylar, she greeted the latter warmly, implicitly acknowledging their “familial” relationship.
Although they were both girlfriends to the Ford siblings, Skylar didn’t think it called for a close relationship between the two women. Call me petty, but I still couldn’t get over the things she has done to me!
“Given the chilly weather today, aren’t you worried about catching a cold by wearing so little?”
Despite Winnie’s dramatic tone, Skylar replied plainly, “Someone will pick me up later. So, I won’t catch a cold.”
She didn’t bother to elaborate further either, appearing cold.
Before entering the recording studio, Winnie whipped out her phone and called Sheldon to complain.
Hearing that, Sheldon felt that Skylar didn’t show him any respect at all by ignoring Winnie.
Hence, he began to feel exasperated. How dare she show such an attitude just because she has Tobias’ affection.
She knows that Winnie is my girlfriend, so why does she have to act so distant?
Sheldon could imagine how disappointed Winnie must have felt. Furthermore, he couldn’t bear to see her ingratiate herself with someone who didn’t reciprocate.
Outside, it was just as Winnie had described. The temperature had dropped significantly at night while the wind was bone-chilling cold. Skylar stood by the entrance for a very long time.
Skylar wasn’t waiting for Tobias to pick her up as she wasn’t expecting him.
After waiting in the brutal winter wind for more than ten minutes, she still couldn’t manage to hail a cab.
As her hands trembled in the cold, she took out her phone to order a Uber ride.
Upon arriving home, she saw Tobias standing by the door, dressed in a grey woolen sweater.
