Is Eva trying to find out whether there’s something going on between Tobias and me? But that’s not like her at all. As far as I know, she isn’t a straightforward person, so she’ll certainly beat around the bush and sound me out via WhatsApp, instead of asking openly.
“Don’t worry. She doesn’t know about our relationship. If you don’t like her, I’ll ask the HR Department to inform her not to come to work anymore.”
Tobias sounded totally carefree. The man had no regard for the tremendous effort the others put in to climb the ladder and become a high-position assistant. He only cared about the results.
That was why he could kick Eva out anytime, in case Skylar wasn’t comfortable with her presence around him.
Skylar thought about it for a moment. “What’s the point of firing her? Her presence doesn’t bother me. But you’d better stay loyal. I don’t want to see you get together with any other woman before we break up.”
After finishing a cigarette, Tobias threw it into an ashtray. ”Are you warning me not to get together with your cousin? I’m very choosy when it comes to women. You’ll have to keep me satisfied if you want me to stay loyal to you. Only then I won’t cheat on you.”
On the next day, Skylar realized that almost everyone in the filming crew stared at her inquisitively when she went to the filming site. The news about her relationship with Tobias had spread like wildfire.
Behind her back, they were chattering that she would surely be the female lead of the upcoming blockbuster movie, and her future was secured.
Right after she put on her makeup, Winnie came over with a cup of coffee. “Ms. Jones, I’m sorry. My assistant didn’t see you after buying coffees yesterday. That’s why she didn’t give it to you.”
With a smile, Skylar took the cup of coffee from her and handed it to Hannah right away. “If I’m not mistaken, I’m two years younger than you, so there’s no need to address me as ‘Ms. Jones’.”
“I’ll call you Skylar then. Sheldon said we should take care of one another. I don’t have any friend here, so I think of you as my buddy.” Winnie tried to curry favor with her.
