Chapter 314


    As the corridor wasn’t a good ce to talk, Skr and Lina entered a private room instead. The room


    was a lot bigger than expected and had two beds inside.


    In front of them was even an indoor hot-spring.


    When she realized Tobias frequented this ce, Skr mumbled, “So a couple can enjoy a bubble bath


    here too.”


    As her imagination began to run wild, the images of Tobias making out with a pretty masseuse in the


    pool shed across her mind.


    As they chatted, Skr noticed that Lina would asionally check the pocket watch pinned to her cor.


    Skr asked, “Are you in a hurry? Am I holding you up from your work?”


    Lina smiled gently. “No, I’m waiting for a customer. It’s already past his appointment time. Yet, he still


    hasn’t shown up.”


    Skr was curious as to how Lina ended up bing a masseuse. After all, she used to be top of the


    ss in high school.


    If she had continued her studies, she would definitely have entered a good university.


    Detecting her hesitance, Lina said with a sigh, “At that time, my parents lost a lot of money in their


    business. As I still had a younger brother, I had to start working to support him. But now, things have


    worked out for me. I’m making more than a manager here.”


    Skr felt that it was a shame Lina couldn’t live up to her potential. Back then, she was really


    hardworking and even told Skr that books were the path to sess. She also dered that she would


    be very sessful in the future.

    However, reality was cruel to her.


    Skr didn’t want to dwell on her sad past for too long.


    “Do you have a boyfriend?” Lina scrutinized Skr and noticed that thetter was in designer clothing—


    even her shoes were limited edition.


    Taking a sip of tea, Skr replied, “Well, I’m not sure if ‘boyfriend’ is the right word.”


    Lina was puzzled by her reply. Skr took out her phone and handed it to her. “Give me your contact.


    One day, we can share a meal with Penelope.”


    Skr felt awkward when she mentioned Penelope. I wonder how is she doing now?


    Ever since she left with Brayden, Skr didn’t hear from her anymore.


    When they heard a knock on the door, Lina opened it. A voice rang out from outside. “Lina, Mr. Ford is


    here and is smoking by the door. You should get yourself ready for him.”


    Skr could hear everything clearly from inside. Upon hearing the news, Lina let out a smile while tidying


    her appearance.


    Skr asked, “Which Mr. Ford?”


    Lina replied with a grin, “He is a regr customer of mine. Anyway, I have to work now. Let’s catch up


    another day.”


    Just when Lina was about to leave, Skr called out to her, “You don’t have to go. It seems he wants to


    come in.”


    Lina didn’t understand what Skr meant. “Who’sing in?”


    When Skr stood up to open the door, Tobias was already standing right by it. His expression was icy


    cold.


    “Are you waiting at the door? Are you this clingy?” Tobias took off his jacket. Before Lina could get it,


    Skr was already one step ahead of her.


    It’s a first for Tobias to bring a woman here. She turns out to be my good friend from my school days.


    Tobias is ten years her senior. Obviously, their rtionship is out of the ordinary.


    The moment Tobias entered, he ced his hand on Skr’s hip.


    Lina’s mind went nk. She was stunned for a long while before regaining her senses.


    “Mr. Ford, I didn’t expect you to know Skr. It’s a small world, after all.” Lina’s gaze darkened as she


    steadied herself to greet them.
