Skylar pretended not to have heard as she packed the leftover boxes into her bag. “Wasting food is a sin. Besides, no one has touched the food before. So why can’t I eat it?”
Tobias replied, “Suit yourself. Come home with me. I have something to ask you.”
The moment they stepped out of the restaurant, they ran into Hannah. Underneath her thick glasses, her eyes were all red. It was obvious that she had just cried very hard given how swollen her face was.
Leaving Tobias, Skylar grabbed Hannah’s arm and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Your eyes are all swollen from crying. Wasn’t everything fine just now? Who has bullied you? Did you bump into some hoodlums? Tell me.”
When Hannah saw that Tobias was there, she refused to tell Skylar what happened. Instead, she took off her specs and wiped her tears.
She had just revealed to her boyfriend that she was Skylar’s assistant. Previously, she lied to him because she wasn’t confident of herself and her looks. Hence, she was worried that he would think less of her.
However, her boyfriend told her that he needed to reevaluate their relationship. Furthermore, he finally understood why the pictures she had sent him all looked like Skylar.
Just like a mute, Hannah didn’t respond no matter how much Skylar asked.
As Tobias entered the car first to wait for Skylar, Hannah quickly followed them. From the moment she got in, she could no longer control her emotions and began to vent, telling Skylar that she was on the verge of a breakup.
Hannah’s cries at the back of the car irritated Tobias. Glancing at Skylar from the rearview mirror, he wondered if she would be bawling the same way if both of them were to break up.
He had never reconciled after a breakup. However, Tobias figured that if Skylar cried to this extent, he would likely waver if it wasn’t over a matter of principle.
Skylar comforted her, “Is he worth you crying so much for? Men are all pigs. Why should we care so much about them? Don’t dwell on it so much. After all, there is plenty of fish in the sea. If you’re not happy, change your boyfriend. Most importantly, you should learn how to let go.”
