Skylar was sweating profusely during the brief moment where she waited for Tobias’ answer. She knew
he did not like to hide things, so he would never lie to her, even if it meant hurting her.
“Nope. I just met her a few times at some private gatherings.”
Skylar was relieved. She would be disgusted if Tobias slept with Cassidy, and she definitely would not
be able to accept that fact.
Skylar knew it was unrealistic to assume that Tobias was still a virgin, but she could never tolerate him
getting involved with people she hated.
With that out of the way, Skylar waited for Tobias to continue, but he remained silent.
“Is that all?” Skylar was puzzled at the abrupt stop of their conversation.
“I’m exhausted from a whole day of work. Can I rest for now?” Tobias gestured for her to get in bed.
“Talking is very tiring too. Let’s continue tomorrow morning.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTobias realized that he had underestimated a woman’s nosiness when morning came. As soon as they
woke up, Skylar continued hounding him, wanting to know more about the things between Cassidy and
him.
Tobias did not get a good night’s sleep, so he was still dazed. “Cassidy is famous within the rich men’s
circle. God knows how many men she slept with at this point. I reckon something happened along the
way, and she was traumatized by it.”
Skylar recalled how Cassidy was last night. It looked like she got forced to do something against her
will, and Skylar felt a little sympathy for her. What has she gone through?
“You men have no respect for women.” Her sense of justice welled up from within. “You guys only want
women to be your toys and have your way with them. Money can’t buy everything!”
Tobias was a little more awake by now. Skylar’s generalization of men made it sound like he committed
some grave sins, even though he did nothing of the sort.
“I never thought of it that way,” he replied. “These things are usually consensual. Cassidy must have
been desperate because she needed support. She wanted to gain fame, so she made that choice
willingly. There’s no one to blame.”
Hearing that made Skylar realized that Cassidy was very popular a few years back. She landed roles
after roles even though her acting skill was infamous. Despite that, she was selected as the main
character on multiple occasions.
It was only recently when her popularity started going downhill that her mental health started
deteriorating. She was always on the headlines for the most bizarre reasons.
Just the other day, she was caught stealing in a shopping complex.
All the proof was posted on the internet for the world to see, but her fans would always pop up and
come up with excuses for her. They even requested an apology from the shopping complex for
slandering her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCassidy was the one at fault, but the shopping complex eventually caved in due to the pressure from
the public and put up an announcement to publicly apologize to Cassidy.
Skylar suddenly felt energized, so she asked Tobias to guarantee that he and Cassidy never had
anything going on.
Tobias did not want to entertain the childish notion, but he saw that Skylar was treating it seriously.
Therefore, he raised his hand and swore that there was nothing between him and Cassidy, adding, “My
standard isn’t that low.”
“Well you wanted me, so your standard is mediocre at best.”
Skylar said that so that she could bait out a compliment from Tobias so that he would tell her how great
she was.
However, Tobias actually agreed with her. “True enough. I definitely did not think things through when I
made that decision. But it’s too late to regret it. We’ve been together for so long now. I doubt anyone
could replace you.”
