Saorise watched as Skylar stuffed the black card back into her pocket. Never had she expected to ever see a black card with an unlimited spending limit.
She could not be sure if Skylar was the owner of the phone that Tobias delivered that day. All she could remember was that the phone case was pink with a small rabbit on the back.
Patting her pockets, Saorise said in a spoiled and high-pitched voice, “Oops, I forgot to bring my phone. Can you lend me yours? I need to make a call to my manager. I'm afraid she's been waiting for me for too long.”
Skylar took out her phone and passed it to Saorise.
Upon inspecting Skylar's phone case, Saorise was certain that it was different from the one that she had seen the other day. I must've been misguided by the rumors too.
If Skylar was truly together with Tobias, Saorise would be unable to wrap her mind around how she was inferior to Skylar. While she desired to become closer to Tobias, the right opportunity for her to strike never emerged. Furthermore, she did not want to reveal her innermost desires. After all, a woman's dignity depended on how much a man cared for her.
Since Saorise went to the side with the phone, Skylar could not hear what she was talking about. Soon, Saorise handed the phone back and mocked her, “Your phone case is really cheap and the quality's horrible. I prefer a cuter case. One would assume that you're a dude if they didn't know who the phone belonged to.”
Skylar tossed the phone back into her bag. She had already grown out of her girly phase. The older she got, the more she preferred simplicity.
Saorise then said out of courtesy, “When are you free? I'll treat you to a meal.”
Skylar agreed out of politeness as well. On the way back, she looked at the two sets of pajamas. Far from bringing her any joy, those new pajamas that she bought made her heart ache.
She knew that a text message about the expenditure would appear on Tobias' phone, although he never cared about them. He would rather she spend more money on the card.
Tobias did not call a single time during the day. Skylar did not know his whereabouts either.
