Tobias: I want you to strip off all your clothes and show me tonight. I miss your sexy body. I will send
you a video too.
Skylar’s heart skipped a beat and her cheeks warmed up instantly to a red flush. What kind of request
is that? Is he not embarrassed for saying such stuff? Like hell am I going to accept it.
Skylar: I’m entering the place now. I don’t want to keep others waiting.
Tobias: Don’t drink any alcohol. I’ll be waiting for you tonight.
Acting as if she had done something deserving of guilt, she fumbled while keeping her phone. After
calming her emotions, she headed up to the second floor and entered the private dining room.
Upon entering the room, Kai waved at her and pointed to the seat beside him. Skylar swept her gaze
around the room and realized that it was the only seat left.
She had no choice but to take a seat there. Kai helped to set the cutleries for her while he spoke,

Skylar replied, “I was on a call.”
Katrina squinted her eyes and teased, “Oh? My male lead seems to be paying special attention to
Skylar.”
Everyone’s ears perked upon sensing that Katrina was trying to create gossip. In response, Skylar
threw in a casual comment, “Well, it was probably to return the favor as he came to use my toilet this
morning.”
She wanted to take the opportunity to clarify while they were on the topic, as there were rumors that
someone had seen Kai leaving her room that morning.
Katrina smirked and looked toward Kai. “You are welcomed to drop by and use my toilet too! By the
way, did you contact your cousin recently?” While the meat fondue was bubbling, Katrina asked in
anticipation.
Kai recalled that Katrina and Tobias had been caught entering a hotel together on camera. ”He’s a busy
man. Besides, I went straight to the film set once I landed, so we did not keep in contact with each
other. Why are you asking anyway? His fiancée is still living with him,” Kai warned her subtly.
Katrina’s face fell. “I thought the wedding was postponed?” she muttered.
Kai dipped a piece of meat into the fondue and replied, “I’m not sure about that. Are you still hung up
on Tobias?”
All eyes, except for Skylar’s, were on Katrina upon hearing that. The woman in question flashed a
bright smile and explained, “Let’s not bring up the past. The only reason I asked was because I need
his contact so that I can collect some stuff that I’ve left at his place. So please, drop me a WhatsApp for
his contact details later.”
Upon the mention of Tobias’ name, Skylar froze. The fork she was holding slipped through her fingers
and fell onto the floor.
She was in disbelief about the fact that Tobias was Kai’s cousin. She placed her cutleries down and
gulped down a glass of water.
“Tobias is your cousin?” Skylar’s eyes flickered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe room turned tense at Skylar’s question. Everyone stared at her as if it weren’t her place to speak
about Tobias.
Kai replied with a stiff nod. “Why? Do you not know that I’m from a rich family? Or do you know
Tobias?”
Skylar shook her head and lied, “I don’t know him.”
Katrina chuckled. “She’s still a student. How would she know Tobias? Besides, Tobias isn’t someone
you can just meet on a whim. Speaking of which, we had not seen him for quite some time already.”
Someone asked, “Were you really in a relationship with Tobias before? Apologies if I am too direct with
my question.”
Katrina appeared to be in deep thoughts before she replied casually, “What do you think?”
Every time that question was thrown at her, she would give a vague reply for others to fill in with their
imagination. Even though Tobias told her that he did not remember Katrina, Skylar could not help but
let her thoughts run wild.
Katrina was the mood setter throughout the meal, while Skylar zoned out often and was not
participating much in the conversation.
After the meal ended, Skylar was prepared to leave with the others, however, Kai stopped her and
asked, “Are you free tonight? I was wondering if we could rehearse the script later.”
