Penelope was still worried that she was walking straight into the lion’s den. What’s there to discuss with a guy like him? Unless she’s giving him a second chance? That’s too foolish of her! Men like him are masters of deceit. Skylar’s still innocent, and there’s no telling what would happen to her if she blindly fell for his sweet nothings. Besides, he seems like an opulent elite. She definitely needs to be wary of this man.
Hence, Penelope stood at the door, refusing to budge even an inch. She was adamant about not letting the two leave together.
Tobias looked at Skylar’s friend as though she was a fool. Gosh. Where is this lunatic from? She’s too difficult to deal with.
“Don’t worry. We’ll leave after our conversation. I’ll give you a call once I’m back in the hostel. Is that okay?” Skylar promised in an attempt to coax Penelope.
Realizing that she was being put in a tight spot, Penelope began to waver. Finally, she let go of Skylar’s hand and reminded her, “Be careful! Make sure to go to places full of people. If there’s anything wrong, call the cops immediately!”
While speaking, she sneakily slipped the anti-rape device she brought along into Skylar’s bag.
Skylar nodded. Penelope watches way too many thriller movies. All that’s in her mind is related to crime. If Tobias Ford really wanted to murder me, he wouldn’t care less about the witnesses.
She then left with Tobias. It had been a month since they last saw each other. As she thought about how distant they grew, she did not even hear the car behind her honk. In a swift movement, Tobias pulled her into his arms to let the white sedan behind them through.
“Could you watch where you’re going? You’re bound to get into an accident if you keep acting like this.” He was visibly annoyed when he scolded her. Just the thought of her crossing the road alone worried him.
Since he did not drive, Skylar followed closely behind him as they walked. When they arrived at the hotel’s entrance, Skylar bulged her eyes at him. “Are you trying to get me into bed again? We’ve just met. How wicked of you.”
