The next day, Skylar was still on leave, so she went to Wesley’s house to look for Miranda. Just when she arrived at his house, she saw Eva who was on her way out to work. What a lucky day!
Eva had only started working for a short time, yet she had already got herself a new Audi Q3. The neighbors had been praising her for her outstanding achievement as a CEO’s assistant.
Skylar tried to walk past her, but Eva stretched her arm and stopped her. “You’re early. I guess you haven’t had your breakfast, have you? Well, we don’t have extra utensils for strangers though.”
Skylar gave her a side-eye. “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in your dishes. Shouldn’t you in a hurry? You’re running late. Your boss will arrive at the company sooner than you.”
Tobias had departed to the company early in the morning. Sometimes, Skylar thought he was pushing himself too hard. There would never be enough time for him to deal with the endless work.
Eva curled her lips upward with a flint of glee in her eyes. “My boss is lenient with me. He won’t say a word even if I don’t clock in. Just mind your own business.”
Eva looked at Skylar arrogantly, as if she was a queen. Eva had been receiving special treatment since she was young. She was the apple of everyone’s eye. Moreover, she was selected as the monitor from primary school to high school. Not only that, she was the president of the student council in the university. Anyone would’ve been proud to have her achievements.
However, Skylar was skeptical about what Eva said. Tobias and Susan never bothered about little things other than the company’s benefits. Eva was just an assistant. Even though they knew she was Skylar’s cousin, that made no difference. Besides, Tobias knew she and Eva were not on good terms.
Holding the thought in her mind, Skylar unwittingly sized Eva up. Eva couldn’t care less about it. Instead, she held her chin up and sneered.
Skylar took a look at her watch. It was nine-thirty sharp. Eva was late and nothing could change that.
