“You regret your decision? But I can’t give up my career because of you now. I’ve worked so hard to get to where I am today.”
Tobias’ heart lurched to the bottom of his stomach. Skylar had become someone just like him, possibly because he had been a bad influence on her, or maybe because they’d spent too much time together.
Skylar from the past would never have answered this way. Back then, all she wanted was to pursue love; she never had any plans for her career or her future.
She had sacrificed everything for her ex-boyfriend and had even been willing to give up her life for him.
All Tobias had done was throw out a casual, curious question, and she’d answered without missing a beat.
Skylar’s breath hitched in her throat when she saw his gaze grow sharp, his expression seeming to darken under the dim glow of the dining room lighting.
A moment of tense silence passed, and Tobias eventually deleted the push notification.
It was getting late.
Skylar hadn’t brought any clothes over, nor were there any of her belongings here at Tobias’ place, so it would be inconvenient for her to stay the night.
To add to that, there were no women’s hygiene products in the house she could use, and she didn’t want to leave the house the next morning looking like a mess.
She brought this up with Tobias, explaining how she had a shoot early the next day. She needed a good night’s rest.
However, the man had no intention of letting her leave. His grip on her waist tightened slightly, the warmth of his touch burning through her clothes. “Are you really going to leave me all alone like this? Come on… Stay for a while longer.”
