Skylar replied, “You really know yourself well. I have turned over a new leaf. Please let me go.”
Tobias picked up the DVD on the bed. He was impressed to find little touches like that in such a place.
He sniggered, “Just accompany me one more night.”
Tobias was filled with disgust as he scanned his surroundings. The supposedly white sheets were already yellowish while the wall was still equipped with an incandescent lamp. The light it emitted was uncomfortably glaring.
In fact, the wall had turned yellowish from the prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke. This was tormenting for a hygiene freak like him.
Skylar refused. “If there’s a first time, there definitely will be a second. Tobias, can you stop bullying me? How long do you still want to torment me for?”
Tobias threw the pornographic DVD towards Skylar’s and remarked gently, “If you learn all the techniques inside, I’ll consider letting you off.”
It was useless to reason with a gangster.
Skylar binned the disc and scowled, “Can you stop thinking about that all the time? Why can’t you think of something more positive?”
Amused, Tobias looked at her longingly, “You don’t understand how my life works. Other than being with you, there’s no time for me to be relaxed.”
Skylar wasn’t interested in his life. Who am I to him? I’m nothing but his toy.
Our lives are not meant to overlap anyway.
“I’m going back as I still have to go to school tomorrow. That’s my only way out and I need the money. Perhaps when I become a superstar one day, I can even pay you back for breaking the contract.”
Skylar’s hand was already on the doorknob when Tobias coldly asserted, “I can give you all the money you need as long as you can wait for me. I promise you that I’m not going to get married.”
Skylar ignored his words. She didn’t want to play any part in him abandoning his wife and child.
