Skylar was sweating profusely during the brief moment where she waited for Tobias’ answer. She knew he did not like to hide things, so he would never lie to her, even if it meant hurting her.
“Nope. I just met her a few times at some private gatherings.”
Skylar was relieved. She would be disgusted if Tobias slept with Cassidy, and she definitely would not be able to accept that fact.
Skylar knew it was unrealistic to assume that Tobias was still a virgin, but she could never tolerate him getting involved with people she hated.
With that out of the way, Skylar waited for Tobias to continue, but he remained silent.
“Is that all?” Skylar was puzzled at the abrupt stop of their conversation.
“I’m exhausted from a whole day of work. Can I rest for now?” Tobias gestured for her to get in bed. “Talking is very tiring too. Let’s continue tomorrow morning.”
Tobias realized that he had underestimated a woman’s nosiness when morning came. As soon as they woke up, Skylar continued hounding him, wanting to know more about the things between Cassidy and him.
Tobias did not get a good night’s sleep, so he was still dazed. “Cassidy is famous within the rich men’s circle. God knows how many men she slept with at this point. I reckon something happened along the way, and she was traumatized by it.”
Skylar recalled how Cassidy was last night. It looked like she got forced to do something against her will, and Skylar felt a little sympathy for her. What has she gone through?
“You men have no respect for women.” Her sense of justice welled up from within. “You guys only want women to be your toys and have your way with them. Money can’t buy everything!”
Tobias was a little more awake by now. Skylar’s generalization of men made it sound like he committed some grave sins, even though he did nothing of the sort.
