Kai 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.”
Kai 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.
“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.”
