As the corridor wasn’t a good place to talk, Skylar and Lina entered a private room instead. The room was a lot bigger than expected and had two beds inside.
In front of them was even an indoor hot-spring.
When she realized Tobias frequented this place, Skylar mumbled, “So a couple can enjoy a bubble bath here too.”
As her imagination began to run wild, the images of Tobias making out with a pretty masseuse in the pool flashed across her mind.
As they chatted, Skylar noticed that Lina would occasionally check the pocket watch pinned to her collar.
Skylar asked, “Are you in a hurry? Am I holding you up from your work?”
Lina smiled gently. “No, I’m waiting for a customer. It’s already past his appointment time. Yet, he still hasn’t shown up.”
Skylar was curious as to how Lina ended up becoming a masseuse. After all, she used to be top of the class in high school.
If she had continued her studies, she would definitely have entered a good university.
Detecting her hesitance, Lina said with a sigh, “At that time, my parents lost a lot of money in their business. As I still had a younger brother, I had to start working to support him. But now, things have worked out for me. I’m making more than a manager here.”
Skylar felt that it was a shame Lina couldn’t live up to her potential. Back then, she was really hardworking and even told Skylar that books were the path to success. She also declared that she would be very successful in the future.
However, reality was cruel to her.
Skylar didn’t want to dwell on her sad past for too long.
“Do you have a boyfriend?” Lina scrutinized Skylar and noticed that the latter was in designer clothing—even her shoes were limited edition.
Taking a sip of tea, Skylar replied, “Well, I’m not sure if ‘boyfriend’ is the right word.”
