Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 718

Chapter 718 Opportunity
Usually, by that time, Laurel would've been waiting at the door with the driver.

Skylar told Tobias she would stay at home, but Kate was desperately urging Skylar, informing the latter that the paparazzi had arrived at the scene.

Caught in a bind, she negotiated with Kate. “Kate, please help me come up with an excuse for my absence. I can't leave today because someone is sick.”

Kate was still anxious. “Your family member isn't seriously ill anyway. Without the female lead at the film's promotional event, how do you expect those two fools to hold up the scene, especially Ingrid.”

Skylar made a promise. “I'll be there in half an hour.”

Wearing a guilty expression, she went upstairs and saw Tobias was still lying in bed. His face was pale and drained of colors.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable, having suffered a low-grade fever for the entire night. He experienced a persistent high-grade fever and hadn't gotten any quality rest the night before.

“I made some oatmeal for you. Remember to eat it when you wake up later.”

Tobias said, “Are you just going to leave me here?”

Skylar was still thinking about how to broach the topic when Tobias correctly guessed her intention.

“I need to attend the movie promotional event today. The movie is about to be released, and the female lead cannot be absent. I'll be back soon.”

Tobias wasn't pleased to hear her mention the movie as it involved Marcus. He was unconvinced about Marcus' investment judgment. He thought the latter and Sheldon were both lame ducks.

On her way to the event venue, Skylar called Laurel's number, wanting to ask why she hadn't shown up.

Skylar was rendered speechless. She couldn't help but wonder if she had been too easygoing toward the people around her. No matter what, I'm still her employer. It's fine if she applies for sick leave and doesn't come to work. However, under such circumstances, she needed me to take the initiative to contact her and check the reason behind her absence. Shouldn't she inform me in advance? Besides, she doesn't sound like she's sick. It's more likely some boy broke her heart.
