Chapter 504
Skylar said, “Yeah, my job is pretty boring. Do you ride motorcycles too?”
Simona’s eyes lit up. She didn’t realize the topic had shifted. “Yeah, I do. I’m pretty good at it too. Maybe not as good as Caleb, but I definitely won’t hold him back.”
“That’s awesome!” Skylar nodded approvingly.
Simona blushed. “Don’t you think riding motorcycles is kind of unproductive?”
“Not at all. It’s just a hobby. My hobby is watching variety shows and TV dramas. Isn’t that even less productive? It’s all good as long as it makes you happy and doesn’t harm anyone or put you in danger,” Skylar replied casually.
Simona’s eyes lit up again. “Skylar, I’ve been watching a dating variety show Tately and am interested in this couple. The male lead in it rides a motorcycle He is super cool!”
Skylar smiled. “I watch that show too. I also like the male lead…”
Just then, Caleb emerged from the restroom. He checked the message from his friend on WhatsApp and dashed out of the building like a rocket.
He feared Skyalr might be in trouble..
“Simona, I’ve told you before. I don’t like you, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. You’re just a friend to me.”
Caleb rushed out of the building. When he saw Skylar and Simona, he immediately shouted at Simona. He stepped forward and pulled Skylar behind him for protection.
He cherished the woman he had loved in his heart. He wouldn’t let anyone bully her, not even his friend. He would turn against anyone who dared to bully Skylar.
Simona was stunned by his shouting. She asked, “What are you doing?”
“Don’t think you can bully Skylar just because she’s nice. Haven’t you listened to anything I’ve said? When I tell you I don’t like you, I mean it. You’re just a friend of mine,” Caleb said. He glared at Simona with a guarded expression.
2/2
Caleb had known Simona for years. Hence, he was well aware of her fiery
temper.
Besides, Simona’s brother, Leonard Parkinson’s unsavory background, added to his concern. If Simona chose to, she could find countless ways to make
someone’s life miserable.
Skylar snapped out of it. “Simona wasn’t bullying me.”
Simona pushed Caleb aside with a look of annoyance. “What’s wrong with you? I was just chatting with Skylar, and you came barging in. You’re my friend, and she’s like a sister to me.
“What’s the issue? Go do your own thing. We’re planning to hang out, so don’t interrupt us. You’re really being a nuisance!”
Caleb was stunned to hear that. What had happened? How did he end up being
a nuisance?
He turned to Skylar and looked at her. Confused, he asked, “She wasn’t bullying. you?”
“Bullying me? Simona is friendly and kind. Why would she bully anyone?” Skylar replied, her tone questioning.
Simona rubbed her nose. She felt a bit guilty. She was actually quite good at bullying people, but she didn’t want Skylar to know that.
“Skylar, let’s exchange WhatsApp contacts first. We can plan to hang out later,” Simona said to Skylar.
She was afraid that saying more would reveal her nature.
Simona didn’t want Skylar to know her true nature. She was afraid that Skylar would dislike her. She finally met someone she genuinely liked and wanted to make a good impression on them. None of the women who had clung to Caleb had ever gained her approval.
“Sure,” Skylar said with a smile.
Caleb was completely ignored.
After Simona left, Caleb turned to Skylar “She really didn’t threaten you? Why else would you say she’s kind?”
