“Won’t this hide your true character?” Tobias asked.
She shrugged in reply. “The entertainment industry doesn’t need true personalities. Previously, when I said that Cassidy had a mental problem, it caused such a huge issue for me. Also, what is my true personality?”
Her question stunned him. In his eyes, she was a docile little cat. However, she would occasionally let out her sharp claws and attack others by surprise.
Seeing that he was not answering her, Skylar smiled. “Look at you. You don’t know much about me either. Take this back. I don’t need it anymore.”
As she spoke, she took out the black card from her bag. Usually, she left it there for emergency uses. Yet, since the endorsement fee then was so huge, there was no need for such an emergency fund any longer.
His gaze gradually darkened as he asked, “Are you that anxious to become independent from me?”
In response, she showed him the balance in her bank account. Although that sum of money did not mean much to Tobias, it was an astronomical figure to her.
He was right. One had to find their sense of security. There’s nothing more reliable than holding money in my own hands.
In the end, Tobias took back the black card. Since she no longer needed it, there was no need for him to be difficult about it. As it happened, it was the first time he wanted to give someone money but was unsuccessful.
Skylar then began to explain her grand plan, which included buying some funds. She was familiar with the logic of using money to make more money. After all, other celebrities were so active in developing© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
sideline businesses because they wanted more money.
The more she talked about her business, the more she got excited. Thus, looking at her bright expression, Tobias could not bear to disturb her.
The funds she had mentioned were all very popular ones at that moment. Everyone had said that they could make a profit without having to lose money. However, Tobias did not tell her that if she invested all her money, she would meet with doom as it would fall within the next month.
She spoke for so long that her throat gradually became dry. Thus, he then poured her a glass of water and said, “I’d always thought that you regarded money like dirt. After all, you’ve never bothered about whatever I gave you. I even gave you a card, but you also returned it to me. It turns out that you keep chasing after money even though your brain’s not working properly. You don’t seem that suitable to go into business.”
Hearing his words, she suddenly became solemn. “I’m afraid of being poor. You haven’t experienced such a thing. You probably don’t know how it feels when you can’t pay your tuition fees. I’ve been poor for so many years. Back in junior high, Grandma couldn’t bear to buy me underwear even though my body was developing during that time. So, even in summer, I had to wear a thick jacket to school. So don’t put me down. I’m very business-minded.”
Tobias’ tone was a little frivolous as he replied, “You’re as flat as a washboard. I don’t think it’s even developed after junior high.”
In response, she purposely straightened her posture and puffed her chest out. “Are you mocking me? I have a perfect figure, mind you! Big breasts are a burden. I’m small and delicate.”
He looked at her but did not want to continue attacking her then. She was as thin as a stick, only having a little bit of fat on her chest and nothing else.
“I’ll help you massage it more often to help with your breast enlargement.”
As soon as he said that, Skylar turned red, and her breathing quickened. Although Tobias did help her a lot, it was a pity that her body would often lose weight from her chest whenever she was on a diet.
During dinner, she noticed that Tobias did not eat much. She had eaten most of the steak, while he had only taken a few bites of bread.
Whenever I eat with him, I always wonder if my appetite is larger than a man’s.
