Chapter 33
Scratching her head, Skylar replied, clearly annoyed at him waking her up, "Don't you need to sleep, Tobias? Can't you tell me tomorrow morning?" The place where Tobias was very quiet, and Skylar could clearly hear the sound of his lighter flicking.
"No. I don't like to procrastinate. I need to tell you as soon as I thought of it."
Frustrated, Skylar threw the phone under the pillow. She would die sooner or later if she continued to talk to him....
"Remember this place, Skylar? We often come here, and I've ordered your favorite! Veggies!" Jeremy looked at Skylar with a sincere expression.
Hearing his words, Skylar now truly believed that she was dumb. There were countless signs showing her that her relationship with Jeremy would fail.
Every time they had meat fondue together, they could only order two plates of the cheapest beef because they didn't have much money.
She could never bear eating them, whereas Jeremy helped himself without holding back.
Although it was a meat fondue, she mostly ate vegetables only.
Flipping through the menu, Skylar said without looking up, "My boyfriend is also coming over today so that you can get to know each other. And also to get the money back from you."
Jeremy's face took on a ghastly expression. "I didn't say that I won't give the money back to you, Skylar! It's a shared asset since we're together. Besides, I don't believe that you have a new boyfriend; you can't live without me."
Looking at how confident he was, Skylar knew that she had spoiled him too much back then.
She threw the menu on the table and crossed her arms with an indifferent look in her eyes.
"When she lay on my bed last night, she didn't say she couldn't live without you."
Tobias, who had found Skylar, took off his coat and sat in the empty seat beside her, with his arms casually resting on the chair.
He then shot Skylar a knowing look.
At one glance, Jeremy recognized that the man beside Skylar was the owner of the Maybach that night.
Only to his dismay, Skylar actually brought a man over.
With a look of disappointment, Jeremy asked, "When did you know each other?"
"There's no point in knowing when we met. We've ended up together, as you can see. You'll be pushing your luck if you continue to pester her."
Tobias gave a faint smile and spoke in a clear and calm manner. Yet his words carried an intimidating weight.
The reason why Skylar agreed so readily to have this meal suddenly dawned on Jeremy.
He mocked, "So you're here to rub it in my face? Skylar, you're too naive. You'll definitely regret being with such a man like him."
Tobias actually agreed with him.
The women who were with him always ended up being dumped. It was just a matter of time.
Raising her eyebrows, Skylar picked up her cutlery and placed a few pieces of meat onto Tobias' plate.
"I'm not so lame that I'll rub it in your face. I was just bringing your creditor over today to ask when you will be paying back the money. Just so you know, my boyfriend has a bad temper." Meanwhile, Tobias felt that he had been fooled by Skylar. He even put off a business dinner for her, thinking that this was important.
But it turned out she was using him.
Feeling guilty, Jeremy swallowed hard and said, "The money has been spent on my treatment, so I don't have the money to pay you back."
Through the windows, Skylar pointed at the Audi parked in front of the restaurant. "Sell the car, and check your transaction history with the bank. Then, return us all the remaining money you get."
Despite the merciless look in her eyes, she was still a little anxious deep down. She shot Tobias a look to get him to say something.
