Chapter 787 Secondhand Smoke


    Skr and Penelope were already at the hotel entrance when she received the message. Aimlessly


    dragging their luggage around, Skr could only call Tobias since the so-called surprise was no


    longer possible.


    Frustrated, Penelope lit a cigarette. Tobias was not picking up Skr''s call, and Penelope watched


    her call him repeatedly.


    She muttered irritably, “Tobias is pretty impressive. He haspletely disappeared after going out.


    What could he possibly be doing in the hotel at this hour?”


    Skr dialed his number as she paced back and forth near the hotel entrance. She answered,


    “What else can he be doing? He must be asleep. I used to be distrustful of Tobias and overthink


    everything when he wasn''t by my side. Now, I realized I was worrying for no reason.”


    Penelope shrugged. Skr used to not have any sense of security, but now she trusts Tobias


    deeply. Her self-esteem plummeted from her rtionship with Jeremy. As for Tobias, he looks drop-


    dead gorgeous from simply sitting there silently.


    Penelope shivered from the cold. It was almost the fifteenth of the month, and the night wind was


    chilly. She asked, “Shall we switch to another hotel? You''ve made six or seven calls, and he hasn''t


    answered any of them. You''re also a celebrity. What will you do if someone starts tailing you?”


    Skr suddenly realized that someone might have already taken pictures of her after Penelope''s


    reminder. She looked around but did not notice anything odd.


    The audition was scheduled for eight o''clock tomorrow morning, and it was almost midnight now.


    They could not just wait around like this after a lengthy trip. Even though Skr could stay upte,


    Penelope needed to sleep.


    Penelope lit another cigarette. Skr recently learned that Penelope smoked. Women who smoked


    had their stories to tell. Penelope offered her a cigarette, but Skr turned her down.


    “I''m not a fan of smoking. I hate the smell, but you can go ahead. I have smelled enough


    secondhand smoke from Tobias. He has a serious cigarette addiction and finishes a pack a day.”


    Penelope suddenly remembered Brayden saying that Tobias had a serious cigarette addiction, but


    he would never ept cigarettes from others because he was worried about them being tampered


    with.


    People in their line of work were attentive to every detail and extremely vignt toward others. It was


    understandable why Tobias and Skr decided against living together when they first started


    dating.


    Skr did not want to search for a hotel sote at night. However, her call was answered when she


    called for thest time.


    “Why did you call me so many times? Is there an urgent matter?” Tobias'' deep, maic voice


    came through the phone. Skr was immediately brought back to her senses.


    Skr gripped the phone in her palm, which was stiff from the cold. The southern climate this year


    was abnormalpared to previous years. There had not been a glimpse of spring up until now.


    The damp and chilly weather in the southern region was more ufortable than the dry and cold


    weather in the northern region.

    “I''m downstairs at the hotel where you''re staying.”


    Tobias was silent for a few seconds, and Skr could interpret it as him not being very weing.


    “Come up to room number 6301.”


    Skr exined, “I can''t check in as I don''t have a reservation. The hotel staff won''t let me go up.


    This isn''t a seedy hotel where you cane and go as you please. I can''t head up.”


    Tobias responded, “Wait for me for five minutes.”
