A figure suddenly appeared before them as they turned a corner in the corridor, and Tobias wasn’t able to step out of the way in time. As a result, he ended up with a huge cup of coffee being spilled all over his suit.
The air was instantly filled with the fragrant aroma of the coffee, and both of them stared wide-eyed at the woman before them.
As she was frantically retrieving some paper towels from her handbag, Skylar recognized her as Molly Zimmer, a trainee at the company who was about the same age as her.
Molly was her neighbor during her childhood days. Her dad started up a hotel after resigning from his factory job, and they moved out of the old house when he expanded his business.
That wealth was the main reason she could afford to become a trainee at the company as the registration fee and uniform cost a bomb.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t see where I was going… This suit must be really expensive, right? I’ll pay for the cleaning!” Molly mumbled apologetically and tried to wipe the coffee off him.
Tobias frowned at the sight of his sleeve that was completely drenched. “That won’t be necessary.”
Right then, Molly exchanged glances with Skylar and seemed extremely nervous from how pale her knuckles were as she gripped her arm tightly.
Tobias then leaned so close toward Skylar that she could feel his warm breath on her ear as he whispered something into it.
It was unclear what he said, but Skylar simply waved goodbye and excused herself after that.
Tobias walked away moments later, leaving Molly rooted to the spot with her hand held against her chest. She was so flustered that it took her quite a while to calm herself down.
Skylar and Molly barely had any time to chat as the former had debuted while the latter was busy preparing for her own debut.
