Skylar held her head and frowned. “That’s his trick to pick up a girl. I’ve met him once and he was talking about how he fooled around with women. Don’t trust him, Penelope.”
Penelope looked at her with a displeased look. She hoped Skylar to feel happy for her, but Skylar dampened her enthusiasm instead. Annoyed by her response, Penelope argued, “You’re no better than me. You flirt with men too. You don’t know my boyfriend, so you have no right to say anything about him.”
That was the first time the besties fought against each other. Skylar replied madly, “You’ll regret it. Just don’t lose yourself in the relationship.”
Penelope’s heart ached when she heard Skylar’s words. She’s my best friend. She should be happy for me, shouldn’t she? I guess she just can’t accept the fact that I have a good boyfriend now.
Penelope put the money on the table and walked away. Skylar called out to her, yet she totally ignored her and left. Skylar drank up her fruit juice and felt upset that her best friend turned her back on her because of a despicable man.
While Skylar was on her way back, she scrolled through Penelope’s social media. She was worried when she realized Penelope put her heart and soul into the relationship.
Her posts on social media were all about the man, showing off her new boyfriend. She posted pictures of the man’s back, his shirts, and some pictures of them holding hands.
Penelope had never done anything like that.
Skylar called Tobias and asked him to come over to the mall. He was attending a business event when she called him. He left the event early and headed towards Skylar. She could smell the strong odor of liquor on him when he approached her. Tobias took down his coat and seated himself, then he took a sip of Skylar’s coffee.
“Why are you here in the mall? You should be resting at home,” Tobias asked while gazing around.
