“Okay. Alright. I got it. I’ll take note of it,” Kai interrupted to stop Mr. Yue’s nagging.
Meanwhile, just as Skylar was about to sleep, her phone screen lit up, notifying her of a text on WhatsApp. Her body shivered in anticipation as she swiped across her screen.
The last time she felt that sweet feeling of anticipation was years ago.
That time, when she was done with her assignments, she would switch off the lights and get to bed at eight-thirty at night with her phone in her hand. There were no instant messaging apps then; the phone was only used for text messages and phone calls. Jeremy would always give her a call at that time to catch up.
Time flew by so quickly. She never expected that she would end up waiting for someone else now.
Before Tobias hung up the call earlier, he told Skylar that he was going to attend a meeting. As such, she thought that the message must be from him informing her that the meeting had ended.
However, when she saw that it was a notification from Kai adding her as a friend on WhatsApp, she was slightly disappointed. He must have gotten my contact number from the workgroup’s WhatsApp group chat.
And here I am, thinking that it was from Tobias…
She added Kai’s number to her contacts too. His profile picture was a cool-looking purebred Husky.
“KaiKaiKai” was Kai’s display name on WhatsApp.
“KaiKaiKai”: This is my number. Hey, did you know you can star a contact? That way, I’ll always be at the top of your contact list.
Skylar had no idea that WhatsApp had that kind of function nor did she care.
Skylar: If there’s nothing else, I’m going to sleep. Good night.
“KaiKaiKai”: Wait, we haven’t even started chatting yet. I want to share all my WhatsApp stickers with you. You can save them for future use.
With that, her WhatsApp was soon flooded with sticker packs that Kai sent. However, she did not add them because Tobias did not like it when she sent him stickers on WhatsApp previously.
“KaiKaiKai”: Are you there?
“KaiKaiKai”: Hey! @Skylar where are you? Do you need help?
As the soft moonlight shone through the windows, Skylar let out a huge yawn. She thought back to Tobias’ request earlier and felt her cheeks heating up. She hid under her blanket to relive that moment.
Skylar’s phone kept lighting up throughout the night while she was soundly asleep. The next day, she was rudely awakened by someone knocking on her door. She checked her phone to find a whole lot of messages from Kai.
The man in question was currently knocking on her door. Once Skylar opened the door, Kai rushed into the toilet.
“Have you had your breakfast yet?” Kai asked while he was in the toilet.
“I was just woken up by you. Of course I haven’t had breakfast yet. I’ll find some random place nearby to grab a bite later.”
Afraid that Skylar could not hear him, Kai said loudly, “Now, now, we can’t have that. I have some extra bread. I’ll get them for you later.”
Skylar felt uneasy changing her clothes in the room with Kai around, so she urged, “Are you done? I need to wash up and change my clothes.”
Kai intentionally flushed the toilet on the high-pressure mode to show Skylar that he really needed to use the toilet.
On their way to the film site, Skylar stayed a distance behind Kai.
They were giving out croissants and soy milk for breakfast.
Kai took three cucumber sandwiches for Skylar.
“Here, I got you some cucumber sandwich.”
Skylar hated cucumber sandwiches. Miranda used to feed her cucumber sandwiches daily, so she got sick of them as she grew up.
She shook her head and rejected, “No thanks. I’m watching my weight.”
Kai gave her a once-over before he said, “You’re already skinny enough, so why are you still on a diet? Don’t you know that girls who have some meat on them are the prettiest?”
Skylar got a feeling of déjà vu upon hearing Kai’s words as Tobias had said the same thing as well.
