Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 365

Skylar vaguely recalled Penelope once boasting to her that Brayden had paid three months of rent all at once, which added up to a grand total of nearly one thousand seven hundred.

Tobias gave a low whistle. “The bar’s really getting lower and lower these days, isn’t it? All you have to do to buy a woman over is to rent her an apartment, and she’ll gladly carry a child to term for you.”

Skylar felt her dislike for Brayden swell into intense hatred. No amount of wealth was enough to conceal the fact that he was fundamentally a loathsome character.

Annoyed by Tobias’ flippant response, she snapped, “Do you want to get out there too, then? Since women nowadays aren’t as much of golddiggers as they were before, you definitely won’t be lacking in a supply of young girls for your harem.”

Tobias wisely refused to allow himself to be drawn into such a conversation. He had never treated his women meanly. Besides, ever since meeting Skylar, he had never considered putting himself back out on the dating scene.

They drove in companionable silence to the set, where Tobias dropped Skylar off. Hannah was already waiting for her in the dressing room.

As Tobias drove away, his secretary called to inform him that Claudia had arrived at the office.

Tobias hurried into the office to find the woman seated by the side, her long legs crossed elegantly. She was wearing an emerald-green dress that showed off a slender figure despite her age.

“You left the office already so early in the afternoon?” Claudia chided teasingly.

“No one said I have to be here all the time. Did you come here just to interrogate me about my working hours?” Tobias curtly replied.

“Everyone’s having a field day with the news that you’re taking over Quest Group. I really can’t comprehend how you can absorb such a liability just for that woman. You must be mad,” Claudia answered frankly, delving right into the heart of the matter.

Tobias had not imagined that the news would travel so quickly.

“It has nothing to do with her. Nobody can force me to do things I’m not willing to. I was fully on board with taking over Quest Group,” Tobias said gruffly.
