NovelEnglishTobias watched her forlorn figure as she left. Her steps were heavy and filled with sadness.
At that moment, he regretted losing his temper toward her.
After Skylar found a cybercafé, she paid for the whole night and bought some snacks. When she
checked her message groups, everyone had gone offline.
“Hey pretty, are you spending the night alone? Why don’t I see your boyfriend?”
Someone had unplugged her headset from behind her ears. A man who had dyed his whole head pink
was grinning widely at her.
Skylar rolled her eyes at him. “My boyfriend will be here soon.”
Pink Hair turned on the computer beside Skylar while his friends were all sitting on a different row.
Skylar checked the time on the computer and saw that it was three in the morning. It was the most
painful time of dawn. The keyboard was oily while the headset was mind-numbingly tight. The place
was filled with smoke and the temperature cold.
She then thought about her grandma. If only Grandma was still around, I would be snuggling up inside
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmy blanket comfortably.
Now, she had no home to return to, just like a stray.
Pink Hair was banging on the keyboard violently as if he wanted to destroy it. Furthermore, he was
cursing incessantly with a cigarette in his mouth.
When Skylar sneaked a peek at the game he was playing, she saw it was “Battle of the Century.” It was
an extremely popular game recently which Jeremy also liked to play.
The game does not have a limit on reloading credits.
No one had expected such a popular game to be produced by the Ford Group.
In recent years, Tobias had been extending his reach in the business world. He was able to secure a
monopolistic position in many industries.
When a CEO of this caliber didn’t know how to use a payment app and requested her to emulate a
porn movie, it simply felt surreal.
Most of the time, Skylar felt her interactions with Tobias were no different than a dream.
“Hey babe, why isn’t your boyfriend here yet? Is he giving me a chance to be yours?”
After putting out his cigarette and throwing the butt on the floor, Pink Hair smiled at Skylar.
“Babe, it’s so boring surfing the net alone. Why don’t I take you out to relieve your stress?”
“Our boss here is a handsome man. He even has a tattoo on his arm.”
“It’s so boring watching movies on a computer. It’s a lot more comfortable to do it in the hotel.”
Pink Hair’s lackeys surrounded Skylar. There were about four to five of them.
Skylar watched them warily and tried to scare them, “My boyfriend is a police officer. He is coming to
see me after he finishes his shift.”
Pink Hair spat on the floor. “Who do you think you’re threatening? Do we look like we’re afraid of
cops?”
Realizing she was in danger, Skylar screamed for the cafe supervisor.
However, the supervisor turned a blind eye to them as he didn’t dare offend the hooligans.
Nevertheless, he reminded them, “Hey guys, please take her outside. I can’t afford to have anything
happen here.”
Pink Hair smirked as he saluted the supervisor. Then, he mischievously remarked, “Look, even he
doesn’t want you here. Why don’t you come with us?”
Clenching her phone tightly, Skylar didn’t move an inch from her seat. “If you continue to harass me, I
will call the police.”
Under such dangerous circumstances, Skylar didn’t think of the police. Instead, she thought of Tobias.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she encountered any trouble in the past, she never expected Jeremy to help her. Therefore, she
had to resolve everything herself.
Meanwhile, Pink Hair snatched her phone from her hands. “You’re just seducing men by being alone in
a cybercafé at this hour. Babe, come with me. I will shower you with a lot of money, so much that you
won’t even believe it.”
To demonstrate his financial prowess, Pink Hair pulled down his collar. He exposed the thick gold chain
he was wearing.
He even pulled out a cigar from his pocket and lit it.
One of his lackeys suggested, “It’s rare for our boss to approach a girl, so you should consider yourself
lucky. Instead, you’re still playing hard to get.”
Fear began to overwhelm her when Skylar realized she was all alone. No one in the cybercafé was
going to help her.
Ever since she was young, she knew that it was a bad idea to offend hoodlums like that. When they
fight, they have no regard for their own lives at all.
Skylar declared, “I have AIDS.”
