The next day morning, Tobias woke up very early. So early that Skylar suspected he never actually slept since she noticed that he was not in bed during the night and that the lights were on in his study.
The smell of nicotine filled the corridor, so Skylar had to wonder, How much did Tobias smoke last night?
She went back to her room and proceeded to look up news regarding the Ford Group. There was nothing but articles singing praises and awe about the company, which meant that the company was not why Tobias was in a bad mood.
What could it be, then? Skylar was puzzled, unable to figure things out.
Meanwhile, Tobias was quietly sitting on the sofa.
Skylar could see that his navy blue pants distinctly outlined the curves on his legs, showcasing the muscularity of his thighs and calves.
It reminded her of the line on how people would bow down before him, right in front of those pants.
All her luggage was packed, and she was ready to report back to the crew. The rest of the scenes would take another two months to film, so she had mixed feelings when she was about to leave.
She was reluctant, yet at ease at the same time.
Before Skylar left, she asked Tobias, “Is there something wrong with the Quest Group? Why does Thomas look at me as if I’m his arch-nemesis?”
“It’s a long story since it involves money. Besides, he never liked you in the first place,” Tobias answered nonchalantly.
With that, Skylar had nothing more to add. He’s right. I forgot about that since Thomas was very eager a while ago.
Tobias only walked her to the door, where the driver was already waiting for quite some time.
All of a sudden, he grabbed Skylar’s arm. “Am I giving you the life that you wanted?”
“Why are you asking this?” Skylar was caught off guard and stood still.
