Brayden should have just woken up at this hour.
He yawned as he was still drowsy from his sleep.
“Penelope wants to see you. She is about to deliver soon. When are you going to give her a straight answer?” Tobias puffed out a cloud of smoke, turning the ventilation fan on in the restroom to prevent the smell of his cigarette from coming into the room.
Brayden burst into laughter after listening to his words. “So, is Penelope the royalty now? Since Mr. Ford is backing her up, can you please pass her this message? After much deliberation, I’ve decided not to keep the baby. Look at how ugly she has become now. She is as fat as a pig. It just made me sick to my stomach when I saw her.”
The flames of anger sparkled in Tobias’ eyes. “Tell her that yourself. It’s between you and her. What does that have to do with me? By the way, you better stop messing with people around me. You’ve been having some late-night talk with Eva every night. Don’t you have anything better to do? It’s so annoying to see her having the blues all the time especially when she is working.”
Brayden could feel Tobias’ anger, immediately replied, “We were just chatting. I haven’t taken any action yet. Fine, I’ll make myself clear with Penelope.”
“Tobias, I’m thirsty. Get me a glass of water.”
Skylar sat up in the dimly lit room. She shouted as she was having a dry throat. Even Brayden could hear her clearly.
“Let’s have a chat.” Tobias placed a chair and sat down in front of Skylar.
She had been awake for quite a while. She had a blackout last night. Hence, her memories were scattered. She couldn’t even recall exactly how much she drank, and how did she get back to the hotel.
Skylar looked around the hotel and realized that it was totally not Tobias’ style. It was a normal budget hotel. Judging from the pink bedsheet, it should be Home Inn.
Tobias looked especially stern, as if Skylar was on trial in court.
She avoided his gaze. “What’s there to talk about? Did I act crazy last night? It shouldn’t be. I always have a good drunk personality.”
Tobias smirked. Is she not ashamed of saying stuff like that? It’s amazing how little self-awareness she has.
