From the moment she stepped out of the house in the morning, Skylar had had a busy day. As a result, she could barely stay on her feet by then.
The sight of her heading out caused Tobias to ask, “It's already late. What are you doing with all that?”
“To clean Penelope's puke. Who's going to do it if I don't? Since I brought her here, it's obviously my responsibility.”
Tobias took the broom and mop from her hand and instructed in a slightly raspy voice, “Get Madelyn to do it. She has always asked for an advance on her salary but has never been particularly conscientious at her job.”
Skylar replied in a hesitant tone. “Are you sure? She's already asleep. Do we really need to wake her over something so trivial?”
While Skylar was still undecided, Tobias demanded, “Just do as I say. Such chores aren't your job.”
Skylar had long been aware of Tobias' capitalistic tendencies, which explained why the Ford Group office always had its lights on every day except for Christmas. Its employees were either working overtime or on their way to the office to do so.
