“Are you trying to warn me that I’ll never get a second chance once we break up? The only thing you want from me is a docile and malleable woman, who’s willing to stay by your side without a whimper.”
Tobias’ expression turned even grimmer. What does she mean by malleable? Have I ever mistreat her? Other than Idania, Skylar is the woman whom I’ve been with for the longest, and I treat her well. No one else has ever enjoyed such a privilege.
Ever since she got a role in Empyrean Sword, Skylar had been feeling stressed out. All eyes were on her as it was the most anticipated show of the year.
Valerie’s words made her feel pressured as well.
She got in through the back door. If she still couldn’t gain popularity, she would be too ashamed to receive any other help from Tobias.
In the meantime, the man never came out of his study and didn’t disturb her when she read the script.
In the middle of the night, Skylar had a nightmare and jolted awake, drenched in sweat. Her heart pounded frantically.
The woman was worn out because she hadn’t rested well for days.
The spot next to her on the bed felt cool. She fished her phone from under her pillow and glanced at the time. It was already three in the morning, but Tobias hadn’t come into the bedroom.
Wearing her indoor slippers, she ambled out of the bedroom. The light in the study was still lit, and the door was ajar.
Sitting in front of a computer, the man stared blankly at the screen. His hand rested motionless on the keyboard.
Gradually, she pushed the wooden door open. Hearing the sound, Tobias gave her a sideways glance. “It’s already late. Why aren’t you asleep yet? You can’t sleep without me, can you?”
Skylar shook her head in disagreement. She was being honest, as she didn’t have such a habit of falling asleep with him.
In fact, she suffered from insomnia for up to three weeks within a month.
