Chapter 463


    Tobias got out of his car to look around and saw a supermarket behind him. He then told her that he was


    in front of Jaya Jim Supermarket.


    Skr rolled her eyes and threw her hands in the air, exasperated. Why didn’t he say that earlier? Why


    make thingsplicated?


    Five minutester, as soon as she hopped into his car, he handed her a bag of roasted chestnuts.


    Grinning widely, she could not help but imagine the scene of him, tall and imposing, standing in front of a


    street food stall.


    Her heart felt strangely touched by his sweet gesture.


    Tobias thought Skr would go home with him, but she said, “I’m going to meet a friendter. She’s


    someone you know as well. It’s Lina. We sent her home before. Do you remember her?”


    He nodded. “Yup, her business card is still with me. I wonder why it’s with me. Anyway, since you’re


    going to hang out with your friend, what about me then?”


    She knew that he was pretending to be pitiful. A businessman like him always had something to do.


    Skr caressed his chiseled jawline, deep in thought. He just shaved this morning. Why is his jaw


    peppered with stubble already?


    A momentter, she answered, “You can go somewhere nearby and wait for me, and I’ll meet you once


    I’m done. You can even watch a movie while you wait for me.”


    After Skr arrived at the mall, she got off the car and rushed to a café on the second floor with a spring


    in her step. I can’t wait to see Lina. Gosh, it’s been such a long time since I have been able to hang out


    with a friend. As soon as Lina asked her out for a coffee, she was thrilled and said yes immediately.


    When she saw Lina sitting at a table near the window, she could hardly recognize her. She wore a ck


    business suit with her hair tied into a sleek low bun. Her demeanor did not look like a masseur at all, but


    more like a white-cor worker.


    Lina waved at her and cracked a joke. “It’s so hard to invite a celebrity out.”


    Putting down her bag on the chair, Skr sat down across from her and rolled her eyes yfully. “Stop


    teasing me. I’m not a celebrity yet.”


    Lina chuckled and looked around before asking, “Where is your boyfriend?”


    Skr decided to y dumb, ufortable with her question. “Huh, which one are you talking about? I


    have many boyfriends.”


    Fortunately, Lina did not probe further. She then told Skr that she had quit her job as a masseur and


    became a salesperson.


    Skr was shocked at her radical career change. Why did she change her job all of a sudden? I thought


    she was doing fine at the massage parlor.


    Concerned, she asked, “How’s your work? It’s quite tough being a salesperson, isn’t it?”


    Lina took a sip of her coffee before answering, “I’ve chosen this job because it doesn’t require any


    qualifications and has better pay than my previous job. I believe I can cope with it. By the way, Skr, I


    have a favor to ask you. Can you help me? Besides you, I can’t think of anyone else from whom I can


    ask for help.”


    “Fire away. We’re friends after all. I’ll do whatever I can do to help.”


    Hearing her reply, Lina was overjoyed. “Can you rent me a room? I’ve just changed my job, and my


    ie is not stable for now. Besides, your ce is very close to where I work. After I get paid, I’ll find


    another ce to live. I promise I won’t bother you for too long.”


    The smile on Skr’s face faded gradually as Lina’s question had put her in a tight spot. She pondered


    for a while and suggested, “Why don’t I lend you some money first while I help you to find a ce to live?


    It’d be inconvenient if you move to my ce.”

    “I promise I won’t bother you. It’ll take some time to find a ce to rent.” Lina pouted and shed a tear.


    “Let me stay for a couple of days first. If it’s really inconvenient for you, I’ll move out and find a motel to


    stay at temporarily. I don’t want to cause you trouble either.”


    Skr was a tad bit upset with Lina. She’s the kind of friend who seldom contacts me, and whenever she


    does, it’ll be to ask for help.


    But, she also helped me out a lot in the past. We also often went to school together and shared tater tots


    with each other during lunch.


    Hearing that Lina was going to stay at her ce for only a few days, Skr eventually yielded to her


    request.


    However,ter on, she realized that Lina had even brought her luggage with her. It was as if she had


    expected that Skr would not refuse to help her.
