Skylar's hand trembled a little. Immediately, Tobias let out a hiss of pain. She ran to get a few pieces of tissues to staunch the flow of blood.

There was a cut on the right side of his face. Although it was a relatively small wound, it was visible to the naked eye.

She had ruined his face!

However, Tobias didn't seem to mind, even as Skylar apologized repeatedly to him. She was careless and jumpy by nature, so it was a risk he had to take.

In a lazy drawl, he said, "I'll be returning home very late tonight. My mother asked me to stop by for a while. Do you want to come with me?"

As soon as he mentioned Claudia, Skylar felt overwhelmed with dread again. She had developed a sort of trauma towards that woman. If Claudia saw her again, she might collapse from anger, and her old illness might relapse.

"Are you sure your mother is well enough to handle the shock of seeing me?"

Tobias fell silent as he pondered over her question. Eventually, he decided not to extend the invitation to her again. Indeed, his mother flared up whenever she laid her eyes on Skylar.

Her anger when she saw Skylar was no less than her fury when the topic of her disloyal scumbag of a husband was brought up.

Tobias hugged Skylar and bit down lightly on her earlobe. "You must regret being with me."

This was the first time he had said anything like that to her. Skylar smiled. "I don't mind I'm not a Hollywood starlet or anything. But I believe I'll get there soon! One day, I'll become a household name because of my looks and gain some influence in the industry."

Skylar was pretty, and she knew it. Since she had the looks, she might as well flaunt it to her advantage.

Tobias pressed a kiss to her forehead and said, "Yes, you are beautiful. I'm going to die in your hands one day, you cunning vixen!"

"You overestimate me," Skylar retorted, her lips curling into a smile. "My fragile little body is going to break under your rough ministrations one day."

Something flashed in his eyes as he realized that there was some truth in her words. Indeed, he could be rough with her in bed sometimes.

Her moans as she pleaded for mercy last night were still resounding in his ears. However, he had continued going, venting his fresh desires on her. Making love to her was simply one of the best things he had ever done.

The two of them lounged around the flat until afternoon. Then they finally left together.

On their way to Royal Entertainment, Skylar suddenly turned to Tobias and asked, "If I were to become famous one day and the paparazzi exposed our relationship to the public, what should we do?" "I can pay them to keep quiet. Don't you worry about it."

She felt a lump form in her throat. This wasn't the answer she had wanted.

"You mean we can't ever go public with our relationship?" she pressed.

"Do you want us to go public? Don't tell me you expect me to marry you."

Skylar's mind had gone completely blank. Betraying her heart, she responded with a laugh, "No way... you misunderstood me."

Tobias looked a little colder and haughtier now. "I think our relationship right now is splendid! We can have the space to do our own things without being tied down by the burden of marriage."

This was exactly how a jerk would think. Suddenly, Kate's warning flashed in Skylar's mind again. You'd better be more careful of Tobias. Don't think you can live happily ever after just because a powerful man like him made you his woman.

As she continued to struggle with the complicated emotions within her, the car pulled up in front of Royal Entertainment.

Without even saying goodbye to Tobias, she opened the door and got out of the car.

Likewise, he remained silent. Evidently, the topic they just discussed had brought a great deal of unhappiness to the both of them.

The moment she entered the lobby of the office building, Skylar spotted a bunch of trainees crowding around. There was a bus just outside the door, which seemed to be here to pick them up. One of the girls was being surrounded by the rest.
