Chapter 588 Your Tone
The phone rang all of a sudden; it was like a dreadful reminder to Skylar. She gazed at the clock on the wall. It was twelve midnight.
Tobias put her down on the bed, and his hand was already reaching for the buckle of his belt when the incessantly ringing phone extinguished his desire.
In that instance, Skylar could only hear buzzing around her ears. Even the way she looked at Tobias had changed since the phone started ringing.
“Why aren’t you answering it? Is it because I’m here so it’s inconvenient for you?” Tobias gazed at her with a complicated look in his eyes.
“It’s a pervert. He calls every night at this hour. If I don’t answer it, he’ll keep calling, and if I answer it, I’ll only hear his snicker through the call, which was very scary.”
Looking at the series of unfamiliar digits beaming on the screen, Skylar bit the bullet and picked up the call in order to prove that she wasn’t lying.
She had also switched on the speaker mode. As expected, as soon as she answered the phone, his snigger came from the other end.
“Baby, did you sleep well? It wouldn’t take too long before we can sleep together. Baby, why aren’t you talking? Without me hugging you at this late hour, would you be able to fall asleep? I miss you… every single cell in me is thinking of you.”
Tobias’ countenance turned extremely gloomy. He snatched the phone from Skylar and asked, “Who are you?”
There was a brief moment of silence before his snicker came from the other end again. “It’s so late now. Why are you still with another man at this hour? I’m going to punish you dearly when the time comes.”
With that, the phone was hung up.
When Tobias called the number again, no one picked up.
Skylar didn’t really want to be guarded by Tobias’ bodyguards. All of them were retired mercenaries from overseas who had blood in their hands, and each one of them was more ruthless than the other.
Though she was reluctant to accept Tobias’ arrangement, she had to give in. She loved going around, but things were looking good for her under such circumstances.
…
The phone call dashed the sensual atmosphere the night before, and Skylar got up from Tobias’ embrace in the morning. Still dazed, she lay her head against his chest, and with her dopey eyes, she looked at Tobias who had already woken up, resting his head on his palm and glancing sideways at her.
Skylar got up from the bed. Tobias’ gaze was rather pampering and earnest, instead of distant and cold.
“I should go to the filming crew soon, so I better get going now.” She lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She was so sleepy that her eyes looked misty.
