Upon saying that, Miranda left the house abruptly.
However, Skylar did not take her mother’s threat seriously. What a joke. Who would dare to end their own life so quickly?
Skylar was still in the middle of her diet plan to lose weight within half a month. Thus she did not eat anything after six in the afternoon.
She could not forget how Amelia looked down on her weight. Who says I can’t control my weight? I’ll prove that I’m qualified for this entertainment industry.
She took a short nap and got ready to head down to the living room for her daily exercise routine.
Just then, she noticed Tobias was sitting in the living room, busy replying to messages on his phone.
The man had no idea that Skylar had woken up and was standing right behind him.
She peeped from behind Tobias’s phone screen without making a sound, spotting that he was messaging with a woman.
The woman from the other end kept sending lengthy messages, while Tobias merely sent back brief responses.
After sending the last message, only then did Tobias realize Skylar’s existence.
“Online dating?” Skylar joked purposely.
Compared to the morning, Tobias’ expression had become more relaxed. “It’s just work. Plus, do I look like I need online dating?”
Skylar rolled her eyes internally. Yeah. You don’t need it. You only need to say a word. Many women will offer themselves to you.
“I thought you weren’t coming over tonight, so I didn’t prepare your dinner.” Skylar leaned forward as she spoke. As she was not wearing any bra, the upper half of her body could be seen by Tobias.
She knew how to seduce Tobias perfectly these days.
The man patted his thigh, and she automatically sat on it, with her arms wrapping gently around his neck.
Even though she did not know how to act coquettishly, she had mastered the art of seduction.
“I don’t need dinner. I just need to eat you,” Tobias teased with an utterly composed tone.
Skylar could not wrap her head around it, seeing Tobias acting unusually calm. If it were last time, they would be entangling in the bed by now.
Trying to clear her thoughts, she got down from his thigh, wanting to prepare something for him. There should be some frozen meatloaf in the fridge.
Before she could walk away, however, Tobias grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace. “Stay away from Harry in the future, regardless of what reason you have. I didn’t want to stick my nose into your work, but it doesn’t want I can tolerate you being close with another man. Meeting at the workplace is fine, but you even went for a drink with him alone.”
Skylar was momentarily stunned when Tobias finally mentioned that topic. She was secretly elated for at least now she knew the man still cared for her.
“It was only a working relationship. I didn’t expect that it would cause Ingrid to misunderstand. Maybe you should explain to her if you have the chance so that it won’t be awkward in the future.”
Tobias’ eyes filled with disdain. “Why should I explain anything to her? We’re not very close. Plus, a human like her should never exist in this world. Before she fell in love with Harry, he had a girlfriend and a child. But Ingrid forcefully made Harry leave his girlfriend. And I have no idea what she has done to the girlfriend’s child.”
Skylar’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. What kind of human would harm an innocent child?
The situation was more complicated than she expected.
She recoiled in fear. “I wonder if she will do anything to me too?”
Out of a sudden, Tobias cast a deep kiss upon her lips. “As long as you listen to me, no one will be able to do anything to you. But if you meet with Harry again, it’ll be over between us. I’ve been indulging you too much.”
