Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 263

Skylar didn’t understand a single thing, but could only ascertain that the conversation was about money.

Tobias had said before that he was only still alive for the sake of earning money and nothing else.

If she were in Tobias’ shoes, she would have retired and escaped to an exotic island some years ago.

Scared that she might accidentally overhear some trade secret and become a target, she hung up the call.

Skylar made a beeline for Kate’s office. Even though Kate wasn’t usually at the company building, she had put a lot of effort into renovating her office, and there were even pictures of her pet dogs on the desk.

I knew it. Kate still isn’t married yet, even at this age.

Hearing a knock on the door, Skylar let herself in nearly an hour later than the previously agreed time.

She instantly apologized, sputtering out some excuse about how she was late because of a traffic jam when, in actuality, the drive had been completely uneventful.

She didn’t want to lie, but she couldn’t tell Kate the truth that she had spent all of last night at a police station.

Kate was very serious and professional woman, and would not give face regardless of whoever it was when it came to her work.

She didn’t care for Skylar’s explanation, demanding, “Then why didn’t you leave home an hour earlier so you’d arrive on time even if there was a traffic jam? Artistes need to know about the importance of punctuality. This isn’t college where you can just say “sorry I’m late” and shrug it off. If you keep this attitude up, people are going to think you’re arrogant and egotistical.”

Skylar just bowed her head and admitted that it was her fault for being late, promising Kate that she would never repeat the mistake ever again.

Only then did Kate seem to calm down somewhat, making a call and asking Skylar’s new assistant to come in.

During her previous filming session, Skylar had had to do everything by herself. No one had even helped her to take some of the catering food that the staff had ordered.
