Chapter 65
The veins on Tobias’ temples raised and throbbed.
There were some audible groans of disappointment when the newcomers saw that the couple was both
properly dressed.
The good looks of the man stood in polarity with the awfulness of his expression.
Has it not started? Did we show up too early?
Tobias relinquished his grip on Skylar. “Who the hell are you lot? Turn off your flashlights!”
He disliked the way the light left his sensitive eyes unbearably dry and reddish.
“Uh, we’re just passing through…” Harry said.
“They are all my classmates. Let’s just forget it.”
Despite that, Tobias was not to be persuaded.
He stormed up to Harry and snatched his torchlight from him. “Didn’t anyone tell you that it’s rude to
shine your light on someone else like that?”
Unwilling to appeared cowed, Harry retorted, “It’s too dark to see the way. Then again, what are you two
doing in the bushes at this hour?”
Tobias’s face scrunched into a terrible scowl. “Whatever I do with my girl is my business. Who are you to
demand that I explain myself?”
The reaction from those gathered was immediate. They did not think Skylar really had a boyfriend.
At that instant, they started to wonder how the photo of her with the old man posted on the forum even
came about.
Shailene, who was amongst the group, thought she might have seen Skylar’s boyfriend somewhere
before. She just could not remember exactly where.
Skylar thought the more others knew about the relationship between Tobias and herself, the more
complicated things could get.
“There are mosquitoes everywhere, and they’re killing me. Come on, let’s head back.”
Given the coldness of the night, Tobias thought that hers was a terrible excuse.
Perhaps it was his intimidating presence that convinced the students to turn their torches off.
“Don’t mind us. We’re leaving,” Harry said.
Having led the others on a wild goose chase, he had now put himself in a spot.
“Just like that? Aren’t you going to apologize?”
Left without a choice, Harry grudgingly offered one up under his breath.
Tobias raised the torch he took from Harry and hurled it onto the ground with force. The anger in his eyes
had yet to dissipate.
“I’ll let this slide, for now. If any of you followed us here on purpose, you’d better pray that I don’t find
out.”
Harry’s lips tightened while he averted his gaze.
As Skylar followed Tobias out, she caught a glimpse of Harry’s ashen face and thought he had it coming
to him.
With this, she considered both of them to be even.
As she had anticipated that she could not return to that room with Harry, she had her things moved back
to King Hotel beforehand.
This would be yet another night she shared a bed with Tobias.
When there was only the posse of students left, Shailene took a swing at the grass beneath her feet.
“Coming all this way, for this? They don’t even have their clothes off. What a bummer.” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Lydia, on the other hand, fronted Harry with arms akimbo. “Your intel better be good next time.”
She then put a hand to her chin. “Skylar’s boyfriend is pretty good-looking. He’s at least one ninety, and
with those features, he could be of mixed parentage.”
“It’s no wonder she needs money so badly. She has herself a boy-toy to feed! Shame about that face,
though,” Shailene sneered.
When they got back to King Hotel, Tobias stepped to the side to field a call while Skylar sat quietly on the
couch in the lobby.
She initially sat with legs crossed before she put them down after feeling a little self-conscious.
“Come on in, babe.” Skylar eyes widened when she heard Shailene’s voice.
