Skylar thought she had something to do, but she couldn’t recall it. When she started browsing her phone, she
recalled the thing she had in mind.
Thus, she asked with a frown, “Have you heard of OASIS?”
Tobias gave it a thought and answered, “I do, but what do you want? Haven’t I told you I’m way too old for games? I
don’t have time for games as well.”
Shaking her head, she said, “I’m not asking you to play the game with me, but I want to know if the company has a
refund policy for teenagers who have spent the entire family savings to play the game?”
She never once expressed her concerns over his business. Therefore, he was confused by the reason she had
brought it up out of the blue.
“Am I really supposed to answer such a simple question?”

result, she thought something was wrong with their method of communication.
“Dear Mr. Ford, if you have a few minutes to spare, can you please answer the question?” She wrapped her arms
around his waist and asked in a coquettish manner.
Tobias then told her to cut the small talk because he found her irritating. “Why don’t you just spill it? I think it’s
better for you to stop wasting our time.”
Since he managed to see right through her plan once again, she had no choice but to tell him the things that had
occurred with Kevin, including Kevin’s age.
To her surprise, Tobias replied, “Technically, he’s no longer a minor. In other words, he has to bear the
consequences of his action. We won’t be able to refund him. It’s not the sum that matters, but others will follow suit
if the public is conscious we have made an exception for him. His parents can’t really blame us either. As a matter
of fact, it’s their fault for not educating their son.”
Skylar found Tobias’ words reasonable because of the potential consequences associated with refunding the
amount Kevin had spent. However, she was afraid Sharon would make a fuss out of it.
Since she wouldn’t stop frowning, he asserted with a smile, “With that being said, I’ll make an exception and get
someone to refund them, but is it necessary for you to visit me in person for such a trivial matter? You can just tell
me about it on the phone.”
She let out a long sigh and explained, “I’m so sorry for the trouble I have caused. Initially, I was against the idea of
refunding, but I’m afraid they’re going to turn our lives upside down if they don’t get the refund. I don’t mind
compensating them for their loss, but I don’t have the amount they’re demanding.”
It’s getting late. If we’re going to refund them through the official channel, it will only reach them tomorrow
afternoon.

Skylar was about to share the news with Sharon and Wesley, but Tobias got up from the couch.
Upon a glimpse at his watch, he announced, “I need to return to the company in the evening. Are you able to fall
asleep when I’m not around? I don’t mind keeping you company until you fall asleep.”
Skylar shrugged her shoulders and said, “Nah, I have long gotten used to sleeping alone because you’re only
around for a few days in a month. Since you’re working nocturnal hours, what about your assistant and secretary?
Do they not get to rest as well?”
“What? Are you shocked? You don’t think they get to earn a fortune for doing nothing, do you?” Tobias asked in
return.
She showed him the way out and took a peek at the cut. “My first-ever historical fiction drama is about to play. Why
don’t you check on it when you’re free? As my boyfriend, don’t you think you’re supposed to show me your
support? I can use some help to boost the viewership.”
Smirking, he said, “I’ll check on it if I’m free, but I’m not really a fan because-”
Halfway through his speech, Skylar stopped Tobias from finishing his orated and time-consuming speech, deeming it
a waste of her time.
