Skylar felt like she was the most pathetic person in the entire world, still hoping for something she could never have.
Although she clearly knew that Tobias might leave her any time, she felt as though her heart had been gouged by a knife every time she saw him with another woman.
Despite that, she still came to bid Tobias goodbye, which was laughable since he was most probably having a good time with that woman upstairs and avoiding her.
She was going to meet Penelope at the dessert shop in their school. It had been a long time since they last met. Upon seeing her, Penelope gave her a tight hug.
“Why have you lost so much weight? Are you on a diet for the role you are playing?” Penelope said as she looked at Skylar with sympathy. The latter’s limbs were so thin that she seemed like she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Skylar took a mouthful of mango pomelo sago and let out a sigh. “The director told me to put on some weight before filming. But I can’t gain any no matter how much I eat.”
Hearing that, Penelope pinched her flabby tummy. This is so unfair. If only I can give five kilograms of my body fat to Skylar.
Noticing that Skylar was in a daze, Penelope asked, “Are you still thinking about Jeremy? I told you that he’s not good for you. That guy is unreliable.”
In truth, it had been a long time since Jeremy last crossed Skylar’s mind. She forced a smile and said, “I have already let it go. At least I gave my all when I was with him. Although the ending wasn’t what I expected, I am glad that I backed out before it’s too late.”
Skylar felt like she was losing her mind. She was talking about Jeremy, but her head was filled with thoughts of Tobias. It seemed absurd that she was indignant about getting dumped when she did not even realize that Tobias had such an important place in her heart.
