Skylar took a sip of coffee, for she was desperately in need of some energy right then. She was in a terrible mood, was hungry, and even had a headache.
“What’s she jealous about? She’s in her thirties and has already got everything she wants. There’s nothing about me that she’d be jealous of.”
However, as an experienced person, Kate had already seen through everything. She got straight to the point and asked, “What do you think Valerie lacks right now?”
Skylar pondered and replied, “A man?”
Kate then patted her on the thigh in acknowledgment. “She’s jealous of Tobias’ kindness to you. She’s been beside him for so many years and definitely has some feelings for him. For a man like Tobias, you’d be hooked even if you only saw him once, much less if you’ve been by his side for so long.”
In reality, Skylar had never considered such a thing before and had never thought that Valerie’s single status for so many years had anything to do with Tobias.
Isn’t that stupid? She wasted most of her youth waiting for someone but still ended up lonely?
That day, after she left the company, Skylar immediately got a taxi home. If it were the past, she would have taken the subway instead.
However, more and more people were starting to recognize her. The last time she took the subway, someone had taken a photo of her and posted it online. In the comments, some had said that she was putting up a front.
Moreover, others also said that she had no morals and wanted to disrupt public order.
Skylar was speechless about such keyboard warriors.
Since when had my popularity gotten to that extent?
When she eventually arrived outside her house, she noticed that the lights were switched on inside. Tobias didn’t say he’d be over tonight.
She then entered her password and opened the door only to see Tobias reading in the living room. As soon as he saw her, he put the book down on the coffee table.
There were also many yellow-colored containers atop the coffee table.
