Idania had been haunting Skylar ever since she was made aware of thewoman's presence. A few of Skylar's nightmares were scenes of Tobiaswrapping his arms around Idania in front of her.

In the meantime, the proud and arrogant Idania sniffled and yelledhysterically, insisting to figure out the rationale behind his decision.Tobias glared at her in return, indicating it was time for her to leavebefore she got on his nerves for real.

Overwhelmed by tidal waves of emotions, Idania stood right where shewas and started spacing out.

On the other hand, Sheldon added and advised, “Haven't you gottenused to it? Are you taking your relationship seriously when you knowthat he isn't serious about you? Tobias needs an intelligent womanwho's conscious of the things he’s up to. Maybe they're just out for ameal together. I shouldn't have told you, but I was afraid you would bedeceived by him and remain a fool throughout the rest of your life.”Skylar chuckled when she heard Sheldon's remarks. Immediately, shetried to reach Tobias through a call, but her effort was to no avail sincehe didn’t pick up.

She headed over to the nearby restaurant Sheldon had mentioned, butit would cost her a hundred thousand to gain access to the member-exclusive restaurant.

As a result, she was stopped at the entrance. When the waiter at theentrance recognized her, he greeted her in a courteous manner, “Skylar,only members are allowed to dine here. Please get yourself registeredbeforehand.”

“I'm just here for a friend of mine! Ill be in and out within a fewminutes!”

The waiter rebuked, “I'm so sorry, but that's not the way things workaround here. We can approach the friend of yours on your behalf andlet you in if he gives his consent. Otherwise, please stop causing ustroubles.”

Skylar frowned because she had no intention to inform Tobias of herpresence. After all, she was here to catch him in the act.

In the end, she handed over the card Tobias had given her to the waiter.Desperate times call for desperate measures! Since he’s chosen to dinein such a premium eatery, I'll consider this one of his transactions!Skylar got herself registered as a member within ten minutes. Once sheentered the restaurant, she marched through the lavishly decoratedcorridor.

What's wrong with those from the upper echelon? Why do they enjoydining in member-exclusive eateries so much? Is it because they enjoyfeeling superior to others?

“What are you? A spy?” When Skylar heard Tobias’ voice, she turnedaround because things turned out slightly different from the one sheimagined.

She thought he would be having a great time with Idania in the diningroom, including interacting intimately. Should that be the case, shewould throw a tantrum and play the victim.

To her surprise, none of that occurred. Hence, Skylar had to put on acalm front and asked in return, “Have you been anticipating me?”Heaving a long sigh, Tobias added, “I'm the rightful owner of the card. Ireceived the notification the moment the transaction was approved. Ionce told you to change the contact number, but you turned medown.”

Skylar couldn't believe she had embarrassed herself when she was thereto catch him red-handed.

Nonetheless, the diffident woman asked, “Don’t you have anything toshare with me? Where's your ex? Why do you have time for others’texts but not my call? Have you been avoiding my calls on purpose?Are you afraid I'm going to get in the way of your session?”

He chuckled and added, “I noticed I had a missed call when I finishedchecking on the text. Am I supposed to revert to you when you haveshown up in front of me? She had departed once we sorted out thethings she was here for. Should I get her to join us, so you can catch mered-handed?”

Skylar started flushing as Tobias saw through the things she had inmind and mercilessly exposed her.

Nonetheless, she announced with her chest held high, “It has nothingto do with me because I'm here for a meal! I can't possibly dine at arandom eatery anymore, can I? Since you're the one paying, I havenothing to lose!”

Tobias was pleased to have her around him. He looked at her in theeyes and announced, “It doesn't really matter as long as you can finishthe ordered dishes.”
