NovelAppSkylar was awed by Penelope’s guts as she was pretty sure that Tobias had never been scolded this
badly before.
She’s good at making stuff up. What’s with the new boyfriend?
Penelope then returned the phone to her and laughed while she said, “If he ever harasses you again,
just let me know. I will help you.”
Skylar took another mouthful of the mango pomelo sago as she lifted her head curiously. “What did he
say? I could only hear you rambling.”
“Nothing much. He sounded very impatient,” Penelope said after giving it some thought.
Skylar’s heart started pounding. Deep down, she was starting to regret letting Penelope answer the
call.
What had been done could not be undone. Despite that, she couldn’t help but wonder why Tobias
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlooked for her again. Could it be that he already knew she was back in International Garden?
Not long after, Skylar’s phone rang again. Unsurprisingly, it was another call from Tobias.
Instantly, Penelope became worked up as she said furiously, “How dare he call again? Skylar, let me
answer the call.”
However, Skylar stopped her from grabbing the phone as she rejected the call. “There’s no need to
answer it. Just let it be. We were never meant to be together anyway. I only have myself to blame since
I took this relationship seriously, even though he was clearly toying with me. I was such a buffoon.”
Penelope felt sorry for Skylar. “You had just broken up with Jeremy not long ago, and here comes
another jerk who seems even worse than him. Do you want to get a reading from a fortune-teller? To
find out the reason for your difficult love life.”
Skylar shook her head. As a pessimist, she was reluctant to go for fortune telling because she was
afraid that she would end up getting a bad reading.
It was not just her relationships that were difficult but every other aspect of her life too.
It was only recently that she started having better luck. She was finally given an opportunity by Daryl
Williams and got invited to join his cast. This was her chance to rise to fame, so she swore to herself
that she would do her best to make a name for herself.
Penelope drank up a whole glass of coconut water. But it was not enough to quench her thirst. She was
practically screaming down the phone at Tobias.
In fact, she felt worse seeing Skylar heartbroken than when she herself broke up.
Penelope and Skylar had been neighbors previously, staying in the same residential area.
At that time, the others were not willing to hang out with Skylar because her mother was a murderer,
and some of the kids even threw stones at her. For that reason, Skylar fought with the other kids almost
every single day. Eventually, everyone kept a distance from her.
The only person who did not shun her was Penelope. Growing up together, both of them were so close
that they even shared the same pair of pants.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRight then, Penelope and Skylar decided that it was time to leave as they had to do some shopping at
the mall. Skylar was going to film in the suburbs, but without an assistant or a manager, she did not
even know what to prepare.
Before leaving the dessert shop, Penelope exclaimed all of a sudden, “Look, Skylar! Isn’t that man
good-looking?”
As Skylar glanced in the direction of Penelope’s line of sight, she saw Tobias in a tapered black suit
that showed off his well-built and towering figure. The yellow lighting in the dessert shop and the neon
lights outside illuminated his face and accentuated his features, making him look stunning.
That was quite typical of Tobias. Regardless of whether his identity was exposed or not, he would
overshadow everything around him in an instant and draw all the attention to himself.
The sudden appearance of Tobias made Skylar suspect that he had installed a tracking device on her.
This is not fair at all. Not only can he find me as he pleases, but he also disappears for as long as he
wants and then reappears out of the blue.
