Marcus raised his brow. At the same time, his smile faded away. “Oh, right. There’s such a strong person to back you up. My sister won’t cross the line. After all…”
Skylar interrupted Marcus coldly before he could finish his sentences, “Are you trying to say that one should always check who the owner is before beating a dog? By the way, I’m not a dog, and I won’t sit there and get beaten up.”
The atmosphere became tense. Marcus simply looked at her as if he was wishing her good luck.
Hannah asked curiously, “Who is that? He is so good-looking.”
Skylar stared at Marcus’ back as he walked away, saying in an annoyed tone, “What’s the point of being good-looking? That siblings are out of their mind. They acted like they’ve been through some childhood trauma.”
By the time Tobias went back to the company, there were already stacks of documents on his desk. Then, he asked Eva to come in.
Eva had just finished answering a call from one of the debt collectors. She got furious and cursed at those people through her phone.
How she wished she could kill Kevin. Aren’t siblings supposed to help each other? But my brother is nothing but a burden to the family.
Standing in front of Tobias’ office, Eva took a deep breath and recomposed herself, trying to be professional and putting on a fake smile on her face.
After entering his office, she turned around and quietly closed the door.
“You look like you’re in a good mood. You still manage to laugh despite what happened to your family.” Tobias gave her a cold-eyed stare.
He suddenly thought of Skylar’s gloomy face. On the contrary, Eva didn’t seem to be bothered at all.
Eva’s smiling face vanished completely. Immediately, she pulled a long face.
Eva explained, “Mr. Ford, I won’t let my personal issues affect my work. This is the basic quality of a good employee.”
