Skylar pointed at the phone. “You can call the front desk if you need anything. There’s also food and beverages.”
Skylar left without waiting for Miranda to finish her words. While waiting for a taxi in front of the hotel, a black Porche stopped in front of her.
The car’s window rolled down, revealing Tobias with sunglasses on. He looked like a well-disguised pervert.
Skylar got into the car’s passenger seat. “How do you know that I’m staying here?”
Right after she finished asking, Skylar remembered that Tobias installed a GPS tracking device in her phone. Thus, he would know her whereabouts while she knew none of his.
“Why did you bring your mom to a hotel? Who are you trying to humiliate right now?” Tobias asked, passing her the coffee he bought on the way.
The coffee was still warm. There were many coffee houses near his office, and their businesses were great. Not many girls could resist the temptation of coffee.
Skylar took the coffee but didn’t drink it. “I don’t understand what you mean. Who have I humiliated?” she asked curiously as she looked at Tobias with a slight tilt of her head.
Tobias didn’t explain further. He didn’t like clingy woman, and those obedient ones were his favorite.
Skylar, on the other hand, was too independent. She carried all her responsibilities and kept them to herself. This was something he disliked. It was clear that as independent as she was, she would rent a house for Miranda and stay with her, thereby fulfilling her responsibility as a daughter.
Was he going to be single again?
His face darkened at that thought. He fiercely stepped on the accelerator, despite the constant warning from the navigation system of the exceeded speed limit.
Skylar held on to the grab handle and kept reminding him, “Slow down! Slow down! Slow down!”
Only then did Tobias release the accelerator. Skylar held onto her chest to calm her racing heart. After the terror passed, she furiously asked, “Did you know that you could get into an accident like this? You are not a kid anymore, so why are you acting like one?”
He almost had the impression of being much older than just a decade as he listened to Skylar’s scolding.
“How can a kid satisfy you? You need an experienced person like me,” said Tobias with a smirk.
Skylar was in a hurry to go back to her university, but Tobias gripped her hand tightly and insisted that she joined him for food. This man was definitely a big hurdle in her studies.
She was almost dragged from the car and was urged into a convenience store.
She sat at an empty seat and saw that he bought a lot of instant food and croissants. “I still have work to do, so I can’t accompany you for long. Just eat something simple.”
This was the first time she felt Tobias was easy to deal with. He seemed like an average person with a croissant in his mouth.
“I didn’t ask you to accompany me.” Skylar held her face as she looked out the window. Tobias disliked clingy girls, but now he was the one being clingy.
“Don’t let me hear you say that again. Just keep it in your heart. You don’t appreciate the fact that I came straight from the hospital to see you.”
She saw his resentment and harshness, meeting his eyes. It showed that he cared about her reaction a lot.
Skylar took a sip of the tea bought by Tobias, but she didn’t like it because it was too bitter and not refreshing.
She wanted her coffee, but it was left in his car. Before she could have a sip, she was dragged by Tobias into the convenience store for tea instead.
“I shouldn’t have said that. I need you here to accompany me and I hope that you’re by my side every second. It would be even better if we’re together twenty-four hours a day.” She still apologized, even though she didn’t feel anything wrong with what she said.
