Tobias didn’t want Skylar to witness that, but she couldn’t bear the heavy scent of cigarette smoke anymore. Just when she touched the doorknob, Tobias hugged her from behind. “Stay with me for a while. We can go back after the movie starts.”
Skylar was puzzled. “Did you run into your ex-girlfriend or old flame? Why should I stay?”
Tobias gazed at her with his deep, dark eyes. “Do you think I’ll hide from my ex-girlfriend?”
Skylar thought about it for a while. Well, it doesn’t seem so. A ruthless man like him will definitely ignore his old flames if he meets one. Besides, who knows how many old flames did he have?
Skylar took a look at the time and there were 20 minutes more until the movie started. She couldn’t help but yawn with boredom. Oh my! I’ll have to stand here for 20 minutes more.
She took out her phone and wanted to have a talk with Penelope. Before she could unlock her phone, Tobias took it away from her. “Is it so boring to spend time with me? You’re always on your phone when you’re with me. Whenever you’re free, you play with your phone. You even bring it to the toilet. To you, your phone is more important than me, isn’t it?”
Skylar was at a loss. She didn’t understand why he made a fuss about it. Everyone played with the phone as a pastime.
He was the only one who didn’t touch his phone other than receiving calls and emails. His phone was perfectly clean. There weren’t any apps other than the default ones.
Skylar replied, “People do that all the time. You want me to stay and I have nothing else to do other than playing with my phone. What now? Do you want me to play with you?”
She found her words inappropriate as soon as she dropped her last word. She overestimated herself and put it the wrong way somehow.
Before she could say anything else, Tobias kissed her on her lips. A taste mixed with a light tobacco and liquor scent overwhelmed her senses.
