“Movie? That’s an interesting suggestion. I’ve never watched a movie before, actually. In fact, I have never been to the cinemas,” Tobias admitted.
Skylar’s eyes widened in surprise. “You’re telling me that you own several cinemas, but have never watched a movie yourself? Don’t try to fool me.”
Tobias shrugged off her exclamation.
“I don’t have the time, company, or interest to watch one.”
No company? If you wanted to watch any movie, including those explicit ones, I bet a flock of ladies will make themselves available to be with you in an instant.
But going back to the main topic, Skylar conceded after seeing how disinterested Tobias looked. “I’ll just catch it when it’s uploaded online. Let’s go.”
Tobias observed her silently, noting how the lady appeared significantly more enthusiastic about watching a film than getting herself new handbags and clothes. He also noticed how her gaze parted from the movie poster with great reluctance.
After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Maybe we should watch that movie instead. Suits your age better.” Skylar followed the direction of his pointed finger.
He was gesturing to a kids’ movie.
Skylar sighed at his childishness. “Forget it. Let’s go. Horror movies don’t appeal to everyone, and I understand that.”
Tobias pulled her back. “Are you sure you want to watch the horror movie? What if I get a heart attack during the film? You do know that I’m getting old, and that my heart can fail me anytime, right?”
Old? You’re only thirty!
But the lady made no actual reply. She merely stood there with tentative anticipation, hoping that the man would change his mind. Eventually, Tobias could not resist her pleading look and gave in.
“I’ll go get the tickets. Wait over here.”
