Tobias raised the armrest between him and Skylar so that the woman could lean on him.

Skylar continued to munch on popcorn while staring intently at the screen with her eyes filled with

terror.

When the movie reached the most exciting part, both the imagery and the sound effects were at their

climax as well.

Just then, Tobias’ phone rang. As he had forgotten to put his phone on silent mode, Skylar got such a

huge shock that her heart had almost stopped beating.

“I need to take a call outside. Will you be OK on your own?”

Skylar shook her head and looked at Tobias with her big and watery eyes, appearing just like a damsel

in distress.

“I’m quite scared. What should I do if the ghost suddenly crawls out of the screen?”

It was easy for one’s mind to run wild when watching a horror film. Skylar could already imagine a

woman dressed in white sitting at Tobias’ seat and smiling at her with blood oozing out from her ears,

eyes, mouth and nostrils.

In the end, Skylar did not succeed in keeping Tobias with her; he still left the theater to answer the call.

Shortly after, Sheldon appeared and sat down next to Skylar.

“My brother told me to keep you company for a while. He needs to pick up a call.”

Skylar turned around and took a glance behind. Tobias was rather ‘thoughtful’ to get Sheldon to

accompany her. After all, Sheldon was also watching the movie with his girlfriend. It just didn’t seem

appropriate for him to leave his female companion alone.

“He had already answered at least five calls when we were on our way here!” Skylar estimated.

Sheldon could tell that Skylar was complaining even though she herself might not be aware of it and

explained, “My brother is a busy man. You can’t even imagine how busy he is. To get him to watch a

movie with you is, in fact, even harder than striking lottery.”

Skylar felt that Sheldon was definitely exaggerating. She had spent the entire day with Tobias and apart

from answering phone calls, he had not done anything else.

When Tobias returned to the theater after finishing his call, the movie had already ended.

Since they had already bumped into each other, Sheldon had to make use of the chance to get a free

meal from Tobias and was waiting for him outside the theatre so that they could go for dinner together.

Tobias asked Skylar, “What do you feel like having for dinner?”

As Skylar had not fully recovered yet, she did not have much of an appetite or any cravings. “Anything

will do,” she replied.

Sheldon chimed in the conversation, saying, “Men are all afraid to hear that.”

The influencer lookalike said softly, “I feel like eating Japanese cuisine. I know of a good Japanese

restaurant nearby which I frequent.”

Only then did Tobias shoot a glance at the woman and asked his brother, “Girlfriend?”

Sheldon answered rather ambiguously, “You can say so. Meet my girlfriend, Hilary.”

Hilary looked at Sheldon reluctantly as it seemed like the man was still not willing to proudly admit their

relationship.

She extended her hand towards Tobias. With a gentle and warm smile, she said, “Nice to meet you, Mr.

Ford. I’m Hilary.”

Tobias had no intention to shake hands with Hilary and was behaving in an extremely cold manner. He

had already lost count of the number of women Sheldon had and they all looked the same.

Hilary’s hand froze in midair awkwardly and she did not know if she should put it down or continue

holding it there.

Just then, Skylar came to Hilary’s rescue. She took Hilary’s hand and said, “I’m Skylar.”

After that, Hilary could finally put down her hand and smiled at Skylar.

After a while, they reached the Japanese restaurant recommended by Hilary. The place was decorated

with a Japanese style and looked minimalistic yet luxurious.

When the waiter brought them the menu, Tobias passed it directly to Skylar. Even though there were

two other people at the table, Tobias had no intention to ask for their preferences as to what they would

like to order.

Hilary could clearly feel Tobias’ disrespect and disdain towards her.

As Skylar browsed through the menu, she noticed that even a cup of water cost more than ten, not to

mention the main dishes.

The only Japanese cuisine she ever had was the handroll sold outside her school last time.

Skylar held on to the menu and had no idea what to order at all. She was screaming silently in her

heart, “I’m such a country bumpkin. I don’t even know how to order from the menu!”
