Whenever Lina’s colleagues teased her, she would have butterflies in her stomach at the mention of Tobias’ name.
Before setting out, Tobias received a call and needed to meet with his assistant, Susan. Hence, Skylar went ahead on her own.
She had gotten used to him being habitually disappearing when duty called.
If Tobias did not bring her to such a place, she would never have had the chance to correct her impression of a massage parlor. She was dumbfounded by how it was built and decorated opulently; it was magnificent!
Upon entering, Skylar could sense an extravagant vibe. The atmosphere echoed its slogan: A Deluxe Experience For Your Enjoyment.
The therapists were all wearing professional uniforms, unlike what she had imagined. There were no voluptuous girls in skimpy clothes or special services associated with sex.
“Lina?” Skylar called out softly as she was not sure if she got the right person.
As soon as she heard her name, Lina turned around and was stunned to see Skylar. Their last meeting was back in high school.
Though Skylar looked very different now, Lina could still recognize her at first glance. She’s prettier than she was back then.
The two ladies shared a bond during their schooling days. They were always seen going to the convenience store or the bathrooms in pairs.
Lina would share half of her pasta with Skylar.
Being good friends, they even walked home together after school. Meredith would always praise Lina for her good results and commented that Skylar should work harder.
Unfortunately, they lost contact when Lina left school in junior year. They did not expect to run into each other at such a place.
Skylar was thrilled. She never had many friends around her and had been asking around her classmates for news about Lina.
