Standing up, Tobias shrugged noncommittally. ”No men like to be challenged this way.”
Holding his phone, Sheldon was totally engrossed in playing Mobile Legends. As he was losing out, he spotted his brother out of the corner of his eye.
Wow. Is he kissing Skylar here?
Thinking of the pathetic balance in his bank account, Sheldon hurriedly ran over to his brother with a flattering grin on his face.
Tobias’ expression fell the second he saw his brother. The atmosphere around him grew tensed as anger pulsed through his veins.
He then questioned, “Are you blind? You’re so busy clinging onto your woman that you bought the entire crew coffees except Skylar. Sheldon, do you have a death wish or something?”
Baffled, Sheldon felt aggrieved at his brother’s words.
I did that only to avoid bringing any negative influence upon him, yet he scolded me. Since when did my brother become so petty? It’s just a cup of coffee. Isn’t he overreacting?
Skylar came to his rescue and said, “I believe he doesn’t know about that. Why are you scolding him? Yes, he didn’t greet me, but I didn’t greet him either.”
Little did they know, the filming crew couldn’t help casting curious glances at them from the moment Skylar put her arms around Tobias’ neck. They had been wondering who Skylar’s sugar daddy was.
The only thing they knew was that her sugar daddy could be a sadist, because bruises had been seen all over her body when she wore a dress. He must have been rough toward her in bed.
Scrutinizing the sugar daddy’s back, they felt that the answer was about to be revealed soon.
The moment Sheldon addressed the man beside Skylar as his brother, everyone was dumbfounded, especially Winnie, who was walking over to them after she finished filming.
Stopping in her tracks, she was rooted to the spot while gawking at them. After a while, Sheldon pulled her over to his side. “Tobias, let me introduce to my girlfriend, Winnie.”
With her lips pressed together, Winnie’s face turned sullen. Earlier on, the entire crew knew it was because of her that they could film in this place.
However, a single sentence from Tobias enabled Skylar to steal all the credit and limelight from her.
She then glanced bitterly at Tobias, but Sheldon was completely oblivious to her reaction, playing along with his brother. “Tobias really cares about Skylar. Please take good care of her, since she’s a newbie.”
Sheldon grabbed every opportunity to prove himself in front of his brother.
Rage shot through Winnie’s chest.
Unwilling to entertain the director, Tobias spoke only a few words. Under the scrutinizing gaze of the entire crew, he asked, “It’s getting late. Is the filming done? If so, I would like to take Skylar out of here.”
