Miranda spotted the bite mark on Tobias’ neck as she sat down opposite him reluctantly. She obviously knew how he got that.
Miranda quickly retracted her gaze. “I called your uncle a few times but he didn’t pick up. I’m not sure if they’re home, but anyway, I’ll go over to their place right after breakfast.”
“They have probably blocked you already, that’s why your calls are not getting through.”
Miranda’s eyes widened in surprise. “That’s impossible. He’s my brother. Stop thinking the worst of people.”
Skylar zipped her mouth. It was no use trying to make her see the truth.
Tobias shifted his gaze between the two women as he ate. “Why don’t you just move in next door? I thought you’ve always wanted to do that?”
Anger surged in Miranda’s heart at the mention of the issue. “It’s fine. I’ll just stay with my brother for now. That stupid Thomas has only paid for a month. The landlord came and asked me to pay the rent for the next month and it is fifty thousand a month! I don’t have the money to pay for that!”
“You can just ask Skylar to buy you a house. She’s signing the contract for a film soon, so she will be able to afford a nice house. I can even give you a twenty percent off if the house is under Ford Group.”
Skylar looked at him from the corner of her eyes. What is he trying to do? I know how much money I have in my bank. Why do all the rich people act the same?
Skylar knew just how much money she had in her bank. It was true that she could afford to buy a villa, but after factoring in real estate tax and everything, she would not have much left. In fact, she might even be in debt.
