Idania had been haunting Skylar ever since she was made aware of the woman’s presence. A few of Skylar’s nightmares were scenes of Tobias wrapping his arms around Idania in front of her.
In the meantime, the proud and arrogant Idania sniffled and yelled hysterically, insisting to figure out the rationale behind his decision. Tobias glared at her in return, indicating it was time for her to leave before she got on his nerves for real.
Overwhelmed by tidal waves of emotions, Idania stood right where she was and started spacing out.
On the other hand, Sheldon added and advised, “Haven’t you gotten used to it? Are you taking your relationship seriously when you know that he isn’t serious about you? Tobias needs an intelligent woman who’s conscious of the things he’s up to. Maybe they’re just out for a meal together. I shouldn’t have told you, but I was afraid you would be deceived by him and remain a fool throughout the rest of your life.”
Skylar chuckled when she heard Sheldon’s remarks. Immediately, she tried to reach Tobias through a call, but her effort was to no avail since he didn’t pick up.
She headed over to the nearby restaurant Sheldon had mentioned, but it would cost her a hundred thousand to gain access to the member-exclusive restaurant.
As a result, she was stopped at the entrance. When the waiter at the entrance recognized her, he greeted her in a courteous manner, “Skylar, only members are allowed to dine here. Please get yourself registered beforehand.”
“I’m just here for a friend of mine! I’ll be in and out within a few minutes!”
The waiter rebuked, “I’m so sorry, but that’s not the way things work around here. We can approach the friend of yours on your behalf and let you in if he gives his consent. Otherwise, please stop causing us troubles.”
Skylar frowned because she had no intention to inform Tobias of her presence. After all, she was here to catch him in the act.
In the end, she handed over the card Tobias had given her to the waiter.
Desperate times call for desperate measures! Since he’s chosen to dine in such a premium eatery, I’ll consider this one of his transactions!
Skylar got herself registered as a member within ten minutes. Once she entered the restaurant, she marched through the lavishly decorated corridor.
What’s wrong with those from the upper echelon? Why do they enjoy dining in member-exclusive eateries so much? Is it because they enjoy feeling superior to others?
“What are you? A spy?” When Skylar heard Tobias’ voice, she turned around because things turned out slightly different from the one she imagined.
She thought he would be having a great time with Idania in the dining room, including interacting intimately. Should that be the case, she would throw a tantrum and play the victim.
To her surprise, none of that occurred. Hence, Skylar had to put on a calm front and asked in return, “Have you been anticipating me?”
Heaving a long sigh, Tobias added, “I’m the rightful owner of the card. I received the notification the moment the transaction was approved. I once told you to change the contact number, but you turned me down.”
Skylar couldn’t believe she had embarrassed herself when she was there to catch him red-handed.
Nonetheless, the diffident woman asked, “Don’t you have anything to share with me? Where’s your ex? Why do you have time for others’ texts but not my call? Have you been avoiding my calls on purpose? Are you afraid I’m going to get in the way of your session?”
He chuckled and added, “I noticed I had a missed call when I finished checking on the text. Am I supposed to revert to you when you have shown up in front of me? She had departed once we sorted out the things she was here for. Should I get her to join us, so you can catch me red-handed?”
Skylar started flushing as Tobias saw through the things she had in mind and mercilessly exposed her.
Nonetheless, she announced with her chest held high, “It has nothing to do with me because I’m here for a meal! I can’t possibly dine at a random eatery anymore, can I? Since you’re the one paying, I have nothing to lose!”
Tobias was pleased to have her around him. He looked at her in the eyes and announced, “It doesn’t really matter as long as you can finish the ordered dishes.”
