Chapter 325
Intrigued, Penelope asked, “What has she been up to? She has gone missing for a long time and hasn’t contacted anyone.”
Skylar replied honestly, “She is a masseuse now and is just as beautiful as always.”
The moment Penelope heard the word “masseuse,” she snorted out loud.
“How did she end up becoming a masseuse? It seems there’s no point in studying hard. I remember she used to be very good in her studies, and many of the boys in class fancied her too.”
Penelope’s words reminded Skylar that Lina did have a lot of admirers then.
But, she had ignored them as she wasn’t interested in boys her age.
Skylar corrected her, “She’s a legit masseuse, so don’t get the wrong impression. What’s wrong with her using her hands to make a living?”
Penelope shrugged. Skylar thought, who doesn’t have to work for a living? Even Penelope has to work hard to ensnare Brayden.
After both of them finished their meal, Lina called Skylar out of the blue, giving them a shock.
Speak of the devil.
Lina suggested having afternoon tea to which Skylar readily agreed. She even decided to bring Penelope along. After all, she had been advising Penelope to get more exercise given that she’s
pregnant instead of staying sedentary all the time.
After Skylar got the bill, she checked her phone and didn’t see any unread messages.
With that, she casually put her phone back into her pocket.
When Penelope finally met up with Lina, she looked at her with disdain. She felt that Lina’s hands were filthy from massaging countless men.
Meanwhile, Lina was disappointed when she didn’t see Tobias. Come to think of it, it does make sense. There’s no way someone as busy as him would be by Skylar’s side all the time.
“I didn’t expect you to be pregnant as I wasn’t aware that you were married.” Lina stared at Penelope’s baby bump.
Penelope declared proudly, “My man is just too busy. Once I have given birth, we will have our wedding. I’ll remember to send you an invitation then.”
Skylar was stunned by Penelope’s response. Brayden wasn’t even divorced yet, and here she was planning their wedding.
Lina looked at Penelope enviously. “It’s good to settle down, unlike me. Until now, I still don’t have a boyfriend. Skylar, I suppose you and your boyfriend have been going out for a long time now.”
When Skylar heard the word boyfriend, her lips twitched in response. She had also once assumed that she was Tobias’ girlfriend.
She replied ambiguously, “Not very long. I don’t even remember when we started.”
Penelope laughed. “Skylar, don’t be modest. Tobias is smitten with you. Even Brayden told me about how special you are to him. Who knows, you might even get married before I do.”
Skylar froze briefly as she was surprised at how much faith Penelope had in her relationship.
However, Lina hung her head in disappointment. She never had the chance to interact with Tobias despite her colleagues suggesting that Tobias treated her differently. After all, he would give her a huge tip every time. Does he really not have any feelings for me?
As they continued to chat, Lina kept talking about Skylar. Penelope had kept count of the number of times she mentioned Tobias’ name which was more than five. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
She then gazed sharply at Lina. “Why do you seem to talk as if you know Tobias well?”
Lina replied sheepishly in front of them, “We’re not that close. But, he has been nice to me.”
