As the restaurant wasn’t big, all the tables were placed close to each other.
A young couple sitting beside them heard Tobias’ words.
Armed with a superiority complex, the girl commented to her boyfriend in disdain, “Darling, the guy beside us isn’t willing to pay for another plate. But he does look handsome. It seems like by looking good is enough to get by nowadays.”
Her boyfriend gave them the side-eye. “That’s why you should be grateful for how well I treat you. After all, I let you spend my money at will. Next time, I should just be more stingy just like him.”
Both Skylar and Tobias clearly heard the couple’s conversation.
Skylar sneered, “Sheesh, what’s there to gloat about.”
Tobias simply ignored them as he wasn’t bothered by such a trivial matter.
In the end, Skylar didn’t finish the second plate. She just paid and left.
From inside the restaurant, the couple watched as Skylar and Tobias got into a Porsche despite not willing to pay for another plate of spaghetti.
Stunned, both of them wondered if this was how the rich actually lived.
Back at home, Skylar went upstairs to take a bath. As for Tobias, he seemed free today as he didn’t work on his laptop.
Meanwhile, the TV was on in the living hall and tuned to the financial news channel. Currently, it reported that the Ford Group had officially ventured into the entertainment industry and set up their own management company.
After her shower, Skylar walked out in a loose bathrobe. She was so slim that the bathrobe looked oversized on her.
Sitting beside Tobias, Skylar’s body emitted the fragrance of the shower gel she used.
To Skylar, showering was the most therapeutic part of the day. When she realized she needed to start filming soon, she wondered how long she needed to wait before being able to shower again.
She poured a glass of warm milk and put it by his left hand. With his elbows on his knees, Tobias looked at the milk.
“You’re serving me a drink of your own accord. Do you have a request?”
