Skylar was allowed to rest for an hour in the afternoon. Hence, she directly went to the motorhome to take a nap.

Kate arranged for fresh flowers to be delivered daily so Skylar could smell the fragrance of jasmine. The agent was always attentive to details.

Skylar left the studio earlier once she was done with her scenes in the evening. On her way home, she received a call from Tobias inviting her to a teahouse for a discussion. After that, they could head back together.

She entered the address into the navigation system and realized the teahouse was far away from her house, in the opposite direction.

Regardless, she arrived at the teahouse, past a rosewood partition, and came to a door where she could hear the boisterous laughter of several men in a room.

One man said, "Mr. Ford, my models are all very young. One of them is only seventeen, a minor. If you are interested, you can have her tonight."

"No thanks. I've been practicing a new routine recently," Tobias drawled.

Skylar was standing by the entrance. The rich really have various forms of ways to pleasure themselves. She thought she was young enough for Tobias' taste. Alas, she was wrong.

She opened the door and entered the room. The men watched as Tobias pulled a chair for her to sit beside him. "When are we leaving?" she asked, showing off her sovereignty.

The man who had introduced girls to Tobias earlier smiled in embarrassment. "Oh, Mr. Ford has a date. My bad for being in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Tobias took his wallet from the table and teased, "Luckily, I didn't take up the offer just now. I'm leaving now."

The way their fingers interlocked together reminded Skylar of Jeremy from her university days. Jeremy used to skip classes and go to cybercafé with his friends. I used to look for him after class so he could send me home. That was ages ago. The cybercafe became a teahouse. Even my friends were gone.

Skylar was dazing when Tobias interrupted her, "You wish to say behind?"

She shook her head.

Tobias knew she was feeling cold, so he held her in his arms to warm her up as soon as they got into the car.

"I hate the way those men teat a woman. Can you stop inviting me to such gatherings?"

He laughed. "The conversation among men usually revolves around woman or money. Don't take it too seriously."

Skylar was worried she might become the topic of their conversation after the meal. "I assumed that includes sex. Have you told them about ours?"

"Nah! I don't need to share our blissful moments with them. There is no reason to prove how good I am in bed as long as you know it."

While having the conversation, Tobias stopped his car at a seafood restaurant.

"Wait for me inside. I'll join you in a while." Tobias helped to unbuckle her seat belt.

However, Skylar remained seated. "I thought we were going home? You haven't eaten yet?"

"Your mom is inside. She wants to meet me."

Finally, Skylar understood his intention. She had underestimated her mom's capability. Miranda managed to contact Tobias directly, without her knowledge. Skylar got off the car and entered the restaurant.

Miranda was sitting in the private room while a waiter served a plate of lobster.

Skylar put her bag down and stared at the table full of seafood. She smacked her lips and asked, "Are you paying for the meal? It's at least three thousand." Miranda raised a brow. "Of course. Since I invited your boyfriend for dinner, I can't let him pay, right? Only a sumptuous spread is worthy of his status."
