Chapter 790 Take A Puff
“This is the only hobby I have left. Are you really going to deprive me of it? I don''t gamble, nor do I
womanize. I just like to enjoy a cigarette sometimes.”
Skr sighed and replied, “Forget it. I don''t expect you to quit. Most of the filming crew smoke
anyway. What makes it so addictive, though? The smell gives me a headache. Can I take a puff on
your cigarette?”
The woman was just joking and was expecting Tobias to reject her, citing reasons like women
should not smoke.
After all, most men seemed to prefer a girl next door who abstained from smoking and alcohol.

As such, she was surprised by what Tobias did next. Holding the cigarette between his slender
fingers, he put the cigarette next to her mouth, he said, “Try?”
The man was so close to Skr''s face that they were almost skin to skin, and Skr could not help
but grimace at the overwhelming pungent scent of tobo.
Tobias was used to smoking Nat Sherman cigarettes. Sometimes, Skr would crush the burst
beads in Tobias'' cigarette before passing it to him.
Skr looked up at Tobias and said in disbelief, “You''re going to let me try? Isn''t it bad for women to
smoke?”
“You''re the one who said you wanted to try! One puff wouldn''t hurt. There aren''t really any harmful
substances in there anyway.”
Skr inhaled once out of curiosity. Right away, she felt dizzy and started coughing so violently that
tears streamed out of her eyes.
Seeing that, Tobias quickly passed her a bottle of water. Feeling amused at Skr''s reaction, he
said, “You''re such a good girl. Since you have never smoked, you should just keep it that way.
Knowing what it tastes like is enough.”
At that moment, Skr thought of Amelia. She had promised Amelia that she would not tell anyone
about what happened. Besides, given Tobias'' sensitive position, if he found out that Amelia had
taken drugs, he would surely get Valerie to fire her.
Even though Skr would have a much easier time at work without Amelia around, she still chose
not to say anything as she did not want to take advantage of someone else''s misfortune.
Knitting her brows in frustration, the woman said, “What''s so great about smoking? It tastes so
gross. I really don''t understand what you like about it.”
Tobias put the cigarette back into his mouth and left a teeth mark on the cigarette stub before
saying, “Not everyone can appreciate the goodness of it. Stop spouting so much nonsense. Go
wash up and get ready for bed. Otherwise, you''re going to have a hard time getting out of bed again
tomorrow.”
Skr dragged her feet into the bathroom and ced her phone on the sink countertop while she
took off her clothes. Just then, her phone lit up with a message from Molly.
Skr had already undressed when she read the text. With her bare skin fully exposed, she could
not help but shiver uncontrobly when she saw the contents of the message.
It was a picture of her mother and Molly''s father. The two of them appeared to be on a date.
The couple seemed to be behaving very intimately, having their arms around each other as they
walked, even though they were no longer teenagers.
Molly''s message read: Shouldn''t you apologize to me? It''s ridiculous that my parents are divorcing
at their age! This is all because of your mom. If the matter is exposed, your mom will be berated by
the public for sure.
Skr''s fingers started moving rapidly across the phone screen.
She replied: I haven''t gotten a chance to ask my mom about it yet. I will find out what''s going on and
give you an exnation. If it''s really her fault, I will make sure she leaves him.
Skr tightened her grip around her phone, feeling worried about the next steps Miranda might
take. She was sure that her mother would not listen to her.
Tobias was wondering why Skr was taking such a long time in the bathroom when the doorbell
rang. He assumed that it was Penelope and walked over to open the door while dressed in the
hotel''s bathrobe.
It was Susan standing at the door.
She felt bad for disturbing Tobias thatte at night, but she had no choice as she had urgent work
matters to discuss with him.
The secretary remained standing outside the room as she said, “Mr. Ford, Mr. Chadwick had
informed us that he would be flying to Spaunia two dayster. The next time he''s back would be two
monthster. Shall I cancel your golf session?”
Since Skr had already confirmed that she would be leaving early tomorrow morning, there was
no longer a need for Tobias to change his schedule for her.
As such, he decided to stick to the earlier n and free up the time that he was originally going to
spend with Skr.
