Tobias watched her forlorn figure as she left. Her steps were heavy and filled with sadness.
At that moment, he regretted losing his temper toward her.
After Skylar found a cybercafé, she paid for the whole night and bought some snacks. When she checked her message groups, everyone had gone offline.
“Hey pretty, are you spending the night alone? Why don’t I see your boyfriend?”
Someone had unplugged her headset from behind her ears. A man who had dyed his whole head pink was grinning widely at her.
Skylar rolled her eyes at him. “My boyfriend will be here soon.”
Pink Hair turned on the computer beside Skylar while his friends were all sitting on a different row.
Skylar checked the time on the computer and saw that it was three in the morning. It was the most painful time of dawn. The keyboard was oily while the headset was mind-numbingly tight. The place was filled with smoke and the temperature cold.
She then thought about her grandma. If only Grandma was still around, I would be snuggling up inside my blanket comfortably.
Now, she had no home to return to, just like a stray.
Pink Hair was banging on the keyboard violently as if he wanted to destroy it. Furthermore, he was cursing incessantly with a cigarette in his mouth.
When Skylar sneaked a peek at the game he was playing, she saw it was “Battle of the Century.” It was an extremely popular game recently which Jeremy also liked to play.
The game does not have a limit on reloading credits.
No one had expected such a popular game to be produced by the Ford Group.
In recent years, Tobias had been extending his reach in the business world. He was able to secure a monopolistic position in many industries.
When a CEO of this caliber didn’t know how to use a payment app and requested her to emulate a porn movie, it simply felt surreal.
Most of the time, Skylar felt her interactions with Tobias were no different than a dream.
“Hey babe, why isn’t your boyfriend here yet? Is he giving me a chance to be yours?”
After putting out his cigarette and throwing the butt on the floor, Pink Hair smiled at Skylar.
