NovelEnglishSkylar almost choked on the rubbery piece of beef in her mouth, so she wiped her mouth with her
hand.
“See? I didn’t lie to you. Skylar is really here.” Jeremy immediately spotted Skylar amongst the crowd.
Avery thought that Jeremy was pulling a trick on her and was just trying to strike up a conversation with
her. But to her surprise, what he said was true.
Actually, Jeremy only knew that Skylar was in the cafeteria after seeing the photo she shared on her
social media.
Avery then reminded Jeremy, “Don’t ever mention that she’s my sister in university. She’s an
embarrassment.”
Unable to grasp the situation, Jeremy scratched his head. “Isn’t Skylar quite pretty too? It’s just that
she’s not as pleasant.”
Avery sneered coldly. “Pretty? I think you might need some glasses. Anyway, go and find out why she
is here. What kind of university is this? Don’t they have any standards when accepting students?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a shrug, Jeremy was just as confused as Avery was.
Skylar looked at the two of them whispering from a distance, and inwardly lamented her fate of running
into them.
I don’t know what’s more pathetic – Jeremy simpering like a fool in front of Avery or me spying on
them.
However, seeing the two of them made Skylar’s face cloud over.
After Avery left, only then did Jeremy dare to come over and talk to Skylar.
It was obvious that Jeremy worshiped Avery like a goddess.
Unfortunately, Avery was always blowing hot and cold, so Jeremy gradually realized how good his ex-
girlfriend was.
“Don’t forget our farewell dinner. Meat fondue tomorrow night.”
Skylar picked up her meal tray, preparing to leave. “I don’t have Alzheimer’s, so I remember it clearly!”
“Okay. By the way, Avery wants me to tell you not to tell anyone in university that she’s your sister.”
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Skylar took a deep breath and said, “Why do you listen to whatever
she says? If I had known that the person I was giving my all to save was a dog, I wouldn’t have been
so stupid that I turned my life into a mess.”
Jeremy looked slightly angered. “Who are you calling a dog? Skylar, wasn’t your life a mess, too, even
before you were with me? With a background like yours, you can’t find anyone other than me to accept
you.”
The corners of Skylar’s mouth twitched slightly as he was right. Before she met him, her life was not
any better either.
If she hadn’t been taken in by her grandmother, she would have died on the streets due to the cold or
hunger long ago.
She was taken in in the past and was now being kept as a sugar baby.
“Hey, are you free? I’d like to invite you to dinner!” Skylar tapped on the bedroom wall nervously.
In the meeting room, the silence was so heavy that it was suffocating. Holding their breath, everyone
waited for their CEO to finish his call and continue the meeting.
“Probably not. Why are you suddenly asking me out for dinner?”
Tobias got up from the head seat and left the meeting room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I just wanna thank you for taking care of me all this while.” Skylar found that the reason she cooked up
was so fake that she almost gagged.
“You have less than two hundred left. Is that enough to treat me to dinner? I’m a picky eater.”
With the phone held between her shoulders and ear, Skylar found the black card Tobias left for her
earlier. “The card you gave me isn’t fake, right? I could just swipe your card.”
“I’ll let you know again tomorrow,” replied Tobias.
Before she could answer, he had hung up the phone. Initially, she thought that it was due to a poor
signal and asked if he could hear her.
Tobias had overestimated her when he said that she had two hundred left. Truthfully speaking, she had
already reloaded all her savings onto her meal card.
She wondered when Lady Luck would shine down on her and give her a supporting role so that she
could at least fend for herself.
Provided that Tobias let her go.
A melodious ringtone of the Titanic theme song broke the silence in the bedroom at midnight.
Waking up groggily, Skylar grabbed the phone and answered it with her eyes still closed.
“I’m free tomorrow. Send me the location.”
