Taking the keys, Skylar opened the door and went to wash her hands in the kitchen without waiting for Tobias, who was parking the car.
When Tobias got home, Skylar had changed into her casual outfit and she was placing a plate of fruits onto the coffee table.
Cherries, strawberries and diced mangoes.
Turning on the television, she didn’t even bother to ask if the man wanted to eat the fruit, while the man didn’t talk to her and went upstairs for a shower.
When he went downstairs to the living room, Skylar was still watching the television while eating the strawberries. She burst into laughter and could barely catch her breath.
Detecting Tobias’ presence, her smile froze immediately.
The man sat beside her and tried to take her into his arms, but she struggled to escape his grasp with a look of disgust. “I feel warm. So don’t get too close to me.”
Tobias got up and switched off the heater while Skylar secretly cursed at him in her heart.
How cunning!
Tobias wanted to spend more time with Skylar, so he didn’t go to the study. Taking out a stack of documents from his briefcase, he placed them on the table. Every single person in the files was of a clean background.
He wanted to choose some youngsters of clean background. As for those who had been climbing their way up, their social circle was way too big, and it would be possible for them to cut corners.
Being Tobias’ assistant, one would enjoy the luxury of being flattered by many people, so it was the most desired position by every employee in the company.
Skylar reached out to take a cherry from the plate and when she saw Eva’s photo among the stack of documents, she almost swallowed the cherry whole out of shock.
