"Tobias... Tobias... " he called out to his brother.

Skylar saw that Sheldon had a young and pretty lady with him who looked like a typical social medial influencer. Even though she was quite pretty, it was obvious that she had undergone plastic surgery. Sheldon's eyes were twinkling as if he had discovered something interesting.

There were clouds of depression looming at home everyday. Claudia was waiting eagerly for her son to return home and Tanya also wailed and wept in front of her endlessly.

If they saw that his brother was still in the mood to go on a movie date with a woman, they would definitely hit the roof.

"Hey," Tobias acknowledged coldly. He was not particularly happy to bump into Sheldon and hence, could not be bothered to say anything else.

The influencer lookalike had heart shapes in her eyes and was stoked to see Tobias. She almost wanted to take a picture of the man so that she could brag to her friends that she was acquainted with him. Sheldon waved to Skylar casually while Tobias looked for their seats before leaning in and whispering next to her ears, "Ms. Jones seems to know the right moves. Watching a horror movie with a guy gives you to perfect opportunity to throw yourself into his arms."

A blush spread across Skylar's cheeks as she replied softly, "That didn't even cross my mind. Besides, I won't have to use that tactic on your brother."

"Ha!" Sheldon dismissed Skylar's words with a snort. He did not believe that his brother would initiate a move on any woman.

As there were some empty seats in the theater, even though Sheldon bought seats at the back, he insisted on sitting together with Tobias and Skylar. The moment he sat down, Tobias spoke with mild irritation in his deep voice, "Go sit elsewhere and don't disturb me."

Sheldon stood up reluctantly, feeling hurt to be rejected by his own brother.

"We can all sit together. The more the merrier anyway," Skylar spoke.

She made the suggestion as she wasn't sure if Tobias would suddenly feel horny in the midst of the movie and make a move on her.

No matter what, with Sheldon around, Tobias would definitely try to behave as he needed to maintain his image of a mighty, aloof and celibate CEO. Tobias looked at Skylar intently and said, "Keep quiet."

Skylar sat down sulkily and pouted. "Do you have to be so fierce?"

Sheldon let out a sigh which was full of grievances. His brother had merely spoken in a slightly louder voice and Skylar had already found that fierce.

Compared to the treatment he had endured all those years, his brother was already being very gentle.

After Sheldon and the influencer lookalike went back to their own seats at the back of the theater, the woman asked curiously, "Is she your brother's fiancée? She looks really young!" Sheldon replied in annoyance, "Why did you ask? Is that any of your business? Just concentrate on watching the movie."

The influencer lookalike stopped talking, afraid that she would further irritate Sheldon.

Her position was not secured yet and Sheldon might dispose of her anytime. She did not want to lose such a golden opportunity so soon.

The movie started shortly after. Tobias was carrying a huge bucket of popcorn and his hands were full.

"Want some?" Tobias pushed the popcorn bucket towards Skylar.

Skylar took a few popcorn and tossed them into her mouth. She had a horrified expression on her face as she stared at the woman in white who had just appeared on the screen.

It didn't help that the movie sound effects helped to amplify the scary ambience and Skylar was already starting to break out in cold sweat. She turned to look at Tobias, who was expressionless and sitting upright.

"Aren't you scared?"

Tobias replied coldly, "What's there to be scared of? If you're scared you can close your eyes."

Suddenly, when a woman who was bleeding from her ears, eyes, mouth and nostrils appeared on the screen, Skylar and the couple seated one row behind them screamed.

The guy from the couple immediately pulled the girl into his arms and comforted her gently, "Babe, don't be scared, I'm here. I'll scold her for scaring you, alright?"

The girl buried her face in the guy's chest and replied coquettishly, "Darling, I'm so scared. You have to hug me tightly and cover my eyes when it comes to the scary parts yeah?" Tobias lifted his arm and asked, "Do you also want to lean here for a while?"
