NovelOnlineKai agreed without any hesitation. He had been in the countryside for so long, so he figured it was
about time for him to have some fun.
At night, Kai looked at Sheldon when he saw Skylar. He was not sure if Sheldon did it deliberately or
was it all just a coincidence.
On the other hand, Sheldon was unaware of their situation and introduced them to each other. “This is
my brother’s girlfriend, Skylar. She’s gorgeous, right?”
Meanwhile, Kai looked at Skylar and asked, “Why did you blacklist my WhatsApp? It indicated that my
messages were being denied whenever I sent something.”
“You guys, know each other?” Sheldon was puzzled. “You should’ve told me earlier then. I wouldn’t
have introduced you. You actually have a wide range of friends, Skylar.”
“I met him during the filming,” Skylar explained as she sat down. “We’re in the same movie, but I was
done with my scenes earlier since he’s the male lead.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKai sat opposite Skylar, and he really wanted to know why Skylar blacklisted him. “Aren’t we friends?”
He was really bothered by this issue. Seeing that, Skylar reflected on her actions and realized that she
might have gone too far. So, she smiled and said, “I think that was an accident on my part.”
“I do that too!” Sheldon was innocently trying to play along with Skylar. “I accidentally delete people all
the time. Kai, you’re a handsome man, why have a dog as your profile picture? And you don’t post
anything. Who would know that it’s you? There were many times where I almost deleted you by
accident.”
However, Kai was still very frustrated. He did not trust Skylar’s explanation, but he could not dig any
deeper. From what he knew, there was a high chance that Tobias was behind it all. After all, Tobias was
a selfish prick that could not tolerate anyone near his any of his possessions. Even if Tobias’ feelings
for Skylar were fake, he would not let any man near Skylar either way.
“The woman makes the decision here,” Sheldon said as he passed the menu to Skylar.
Skylar took the menu and order some food as well as a salad for herself but no alcohol for her.
Nonetheless, Sheldon asked for a bottle of gin but was roasted by Kai for it.
“Since when were you such a cheapskate? You actually think you can treat us with a bottle of cheap
gin like that?”
Kai and Sheldon were of a similar age, and their relationship had always been good, a direct contrast
to what Kai thought about Tobias. To him, Tobias was as cold as ice, to say the least.
What Kai said hit Sheldon right where it hurt as his facade started to crumble. “My brother froze all my
financial support, okay. He’s forcing me to work at the company! With what I have, the cheap gin is all I
can afford right now! You should be grateful that you at least have something to drink! Don’t be so picky
now,” Sheldon exclaimed.
Hearing that confused Skylar. “Your brother would never actually force you to do things you don’t like,
what happened?”
It was the same question on Sheldon’s mind, so he let out a sigh. “Maybe he thinks I’ve been going too
far recently. He said I was living like trash and have no contribution or value at all. He told me that if I

Those were some really hurtful words, but Skylar was certain that it all came from Tobias. She knew
that sometimes, his sharp tongue would cause others more than just pain. The way Tobias talked made
others felt like he was slicing them slowly and dashing salt all over the wounds at the same time.
Compared to everyone else, Tobias treated Skylar very gently.
“What does he mean by value? Is everything just a business transaction?” Kai sneered. “Do we have to
go against our conscience just so we could maximize our gains?”
“Have you been stuck in the countryside for too long? Why are you so cynical all of a sudden?” Skylar
asked.
Kai remained quiet. Is she defending Tobias?
After a while, all the dishes were served, but Skylar was only touching the salad. I must persevere!
Kai, on the other hand, thought that she was just being shy since she was in front of two men. Women
need to maintain their image in front of men after all, is what he thought. So, he picked up a piece of
beef and was about to put it in her plate.
Sheldon sensed something from Kai’s move and immediately stopped his fork from moving any further.
“It’s not like she can’t reach it. Maybe she just doesn’t like beef.”
