“We’re not elementary kids anymore. We don’t need to do that to be friends.” Skylar gave Kai a judgmental look.
Kai chuckled and said, “I admire your simplicity.”
Skylar was not exactly pleased with Kai’s compliment, as it could also mean that she was dumb.
“Are you close with your cousin?” Skylar inquired while she sat and threw a bottle of water to Kai.
Kai caught the bottle easily. He felt slightly annoyed and asked, “Why are you so interested to know about my cousin? Do you know him?”
Skylar blinked her eyes a few times and lied, “I’ve heard his name before.”
“Well, I’m sure the majority of the people have heard about him. His aloof personality and high status in the corporate world made him a mysterious figure. He doesn’t spend his time on casual meetups or hangs out with kids like us.”
Upon hearing Kai referring to himself as a kid, Skylar thought he was way past the age to called himself that. However, it was true that Tobias was significantly older than them.
Seeing how she was silent, Kai continued to ask, “Why are you asking all these, anyway? Are you interested in him?”
Skylar pursed her lips slightly, thinking of a reply to Kai. How should I answer him? It’s not like I can just blurt out to him that I had slept with Tobias.
“You’re overthinking it. I’m just asking so that we’ll have something to talk about.” Skylar smiled faintly, showing her dimples. Kai was mesmerized by her cute smile.
