“Zoey is my friend’s younger sister. I’ve been taking care of her since her brother passed on a few years back. We were rather close, so he requested for me to look after her. Is this explanation clear enough for you?”
That sounded like an old trick in the book to Skylar. However, she knew she would seem petty if she continued to dwell on this matter, so she forced out a smile. “I think she likes you. Her gaze seemed suspicious,” commented Skylar.
She was a Scorpio, and they were known to possess strong intuitions on top of being meticulous.
Tobias replied coldly, “Look, kid. There are many women out there who are infatuated with me. Does that mean I have to become their lover? I can’t dictate how others feel. All I can do is control my own feelings.”
Being referred to as a kid irked Skylar. How is it possible that no woman can resist his charms? Being in a relationship with him means that I’m bound to torment myself over the possibility of him cheating. Moreover, he’s the kind of guy who won’t even bother to update you on his whereabouts or send you sweet nothings every minute.
Skylar didn’t bother probing further. The only thing she could do was to deal with the problem when it actually occurred.
Instead of returning to the hotel with Skylar, Tobias hailed a cab to send her back to school.
At the entrance of the school, Skylar bid him farewell. “Don’t bother sending me. It’s a long journey from here.”
He placed his hand on her shoulder and kissed her cheek. “I’ll accompany you. What if you run into a lusting young man and he drags you into the bushes?”
That sent a chill down her spine as she knew that he was not spouting nonsense.
