Tobias got out of his car to look around and saw a supermarket behind him. He then told her that he was in front of Jaya Jim Supermarket.
Skylar rolled her eyes and threw her hands in the air, exasperated. Why didn’t he say that earlier? Why make things complicated?
Five minutes later, as soon as she hopped into his car, he handed her a bag of roasted chestnuts. Grinning widely, she could not help but imagine the scene of him, tall and imposing, standing in front of a street food stall.
Her heart felt strangely touched by his sweet gesture.
Tobias thought Skylar would go home with him, but she said, “I’m going to meet a friend later. She’s someone you know as well. It’s Lina. We sent her home before. Do you remember her?”
He nodded. “Yup, her business card is still with me. I wonder why it’s with me. Anyway, since you’re going to hang out with your friend, what about me then?”
She knew that he was pretending to be pitiful. A businessman like him always had something to do.
Skylar caressed his chiseled jawline, deep in thought. He just shaved this morning. Why is his jaw peppered with stubble already?
A moment later, she answered, “You can go somewhere nearby and wait for me, and I’ll meet you once I’m done. You can even watch a movie while you wait for me.”
After Skylar arrived at the mall, she got off the car and rushed to a café on the second floor with a spring in her step. I can’t wait to see Lina. Gosh, it’s been such a long time since I have been able to hang out with a friend. As soon as Lina asked her out for a coffee, she was thrilled and said yes immediately.
When she saw Lina sitting at a table near the window, she could hardly recognize her. She wore a black business suit with her hair tied into a sleek low bun. Her demeanor did not look like a masseur at all, but more like a white-collar worker.
Lina waved at her and cracked a joke. “It’s so hard to invite a celebrity out.”
Putting down her bag on the chair, Skylar sat down across from her and rolled her eyes playfully. “Stop teasing me. I’m not a celebrity yet.”
