Chapter 115


    Tobias raised the armrest between him and Skr so that the woman could lean on him.


    Skr continued to munch on popcorn while staring intently at the screen with her eyes filled with terror.


    When the movie reached the most exciting part, both the imagery and the sound effects were at their


    climax as well.


    Just then, Tobias’ phone rang. As he had forgotten to put his phone on silent mode, Skr got such a


    huge shock that her heart had almost stopped beating.


    “I need to take a call outside. Will you be OK on your own?”


    Skr shook her head and looked at Tobias with her big and watery eyes, appearing just like a damsel in


    distress.


    “I’m quite scared. What should I do if the ghost suddenly crawls out of the screen?”


    It was easy for one’s mind to run wild when watching a horror film. Skr could already imagine a


    woman dressed in white sitting at Tobias’ seat and smiling at her with blood oozing out from her ears,


    eyes, mouth and nostrils.


    In the end, Skr did not seed in keeping Tobias with her; he still left the theater to answer the call.


    Shortly after, Sheldon appeared and sat down next to Skr.


    “My brother told me to keep youpany for a while. He needs to pick up a call.”


    Skr turned around and took a nce behind. Tobias was rather ‘thoughtful’ to get Sheldon to


    apany her. After all, Sheldon was also watching the movie with his girlfriend. It just didn’t seem


    appropriate for him to leave his femalepanion alone.


    “He had already answered at least five calls when we were on our way here!” Skr estimated.

    Sheldon could tell that Skr wasining even though she herself might not be aware of it and


    exined, “My brother is a busy man. You can’t even imagine how busy he is. To get him to watch a


    movie with you is, in fact, even harder than striking lottery.”


    Skr felt that Sheldon was definitely exaggerating. She had spent the entire day with Tobias and apart


    from answering phone calls, he had not done anything else.


    When Tobias returned to the theater after finishing his call, the movie had already ended.


    Since they had already bumped into each other, Sheldon had to make use of the chance to get a free


    meal from Tobias and was waiting for him outside the theatre so that they could go for dinner together.


    Tobias asked Skr, “What do you feel like having for dinner?”


    As Skr had not fully recovered yet, she did not have much of an appetite or any cravings. “Anything


    will do,” she replied.


    Sheldon chimed in the conversation, saying, “Men are all afraid to hear that.”


    The influencer lookalike said softly, “I feel like eating Japanese cuisine. I know of a good Japanese


    restaurant nearby which I frequent.”


    Only then did Tobias shoot a nce at the woman and asked his brother, “Girlfriend?”


    Sheldon answered rather ambiguously, “You can say so. Meet my girlfriend, Hry.”


    Hry looked at Sheldon reluctantly as it seemed like the man was still not willing to proudly admit their


    rtionship.


    She extended her hand towards Tobias. With a gentle and warm smile, she said, “Nice to meet you, Mr.


    Ford. I’m Hry.”


    Tobias had no intention to shake hands with Hry and was behaving in an extremely cold manner. He


    had already lost count of the number of women Sheldon had and they all looked the same.


    Hry’s hand froze in midair awkwardly and she did not know if she should put it down or continue


    holding it there.


    Just then, Skr came to Hry’s rescue. She took Hry’s hand and said, “I’m Skr.”


    After that, Hry could finally put down her hand and smiled at Skr.


    After a while, they reached the Japanese restaurant rmended by Hry. The ce was decorated


    with a Japanese style and looked minimalistic yet luxurious.


    When the waiter brought them the menu, Tobias passed it directly to Skr. Even though there were two


    other people at the table, Tobias had no intention to ask for their preferences as to what they would like


    to order.


    Hry could clearly feel Tobias’ disrespect and disdain towards her.


    As Skr browsed through the menu, she noticed that even a cup of water cost more than ten, not to


    mention the main dishes.


    The only Japanese cuisine she ever had was the handroll sold outside her schoolst time.


    Skr held on to the menu and had no idea what to order at all. She was screaming silently in her heart,


    “I’m such a country bumpkin. I don’t even know how to order from the menu!”
