Chapter 585 Put To Shame
Kevin snickered, “Of course, you don’t need to do anything. You and Tobias are indeed a simpatico pair, playing the ‘good cop, bad cop’, huh? He threatened me with Eva’s job. You know how selfish Eva is, so it’s impossible that she’ll sacrifice her job for me. If I don’t post that on Twitter, she is never going to forgive me. I really shouldn’t have counted on you to help me.”
Skylar finally got her head around it. No wonder Kevin admitted so soon. It turns out that he was under Tobias’ coercion. Skylar was really disappointed in Kevin’s attitude.
Looks like it’s time to cut ties with him and make a clean break. Kevin had exhausted the last strand of sympathy Skylar had for him.
Hanging up the phone, Skylar could hear someone calling out her name. Hence, she handed her phone to Hannah.
Hannah took over the phone and was notably excited. “It’s an ill wind, isn’t it? You were right to remain silent and not clarify or explain anything. Now everyone is saying that you’re gracious and big-hearted.”
Nevertheless, Skylar wasn’t pleased at all. Watching Skylar’s placid countenance, Hannah pursed her lips, covering up her own smile.
Skylar changed into a workshop uniform from the eighties and a pair of green rubber boots. She didn’t have bountiful hair, so the stylist put on hair extensions for her which were two thick and dark braids.
Looking at her own reflection in the mirror, Skylar found herself looking very identical to Meredith when she was young. Meredith used to work in a sand quarry, doing the most tiring and physical works that men do, and never really had a good life.
She took out her phone and sent a selfie to Tobias on WhatsApp, just to find that the message could not go through.
Skylar’s eyes widened in surprise. What’s happening? Have I been blocked by Tobias?
She hurriedly made a call to Tobias before the filming started.
As soon as it was picked up from the other end, Skylar raised her tone and questioned, “Why did you block me? I didn’t offend you, did I? Was it because I didn’t satisfy your lust in the car that day? Tobias, I didn’t know you’re such a petty man. Why aren’t you talking? Fine, since you’ve blocked me, then don’t unblock ever again.”
She despised being blocked or blacklisted from someone’s contact the most, especially if the blocker was her closest friend or relative. Hence, she just lashed out without thinking much.
However, as soon as she said that, she was repentant. She glanced about and was relieved that there was no one around. She felt that her temper had worsened due to her tight schedule and lack of rest. A little displeasure could trigger her easily, setting her on rage.
It was only yesterday that Tobias joked that she was like a woman on menopause, so naggy and chatty.
Tobias’ phone was connected to the projector screen in the conference room. When Skylar texted him on WhatsApp last time, it was just like a live stream.
Therefore, this time around, he was preparing to block and then unblock her again after the meeting, but he didn’t expect that Skylar would be so generous to let everyone in the conference room know that he wanted to hump in the car.
The air in the conference room froze all of a sudden and the atmosphere was so tense one could cut it with a knife. The senior managers of the company drooped their heads lowly and some couldn’t help but laugh secretly.
Whoa, so Mr. Ford who usually looks decent and even abstinent on the veneer has such a kinky taste.
Tobias closed his eyes and drew in a long breath. His face looked extremely grim in that instance.
Seeing as Tobias didn’t say anything, Skylar thought that he was having a bad signal so she ended the call.
Eva was preparing the meeting agenda and minutes on the side, and as she saw the gloomy expression on Tobias’ face, she was secretly delighted.
No matter how glamorous Skylar looks, she isn’t really sophisticated, and now that she has cheesed the boss off, she won’t be able to get away with it.
Eva couldn’t wait to see Skylar being dumped by Tobias. Let’s see how long she can go about swaggering and showing off.
Tobias started placidly after a while, “Let’s get this meeting started and end earlier, hurry up.”
With that, he asked Susan to disconnect his phone from the projector, in case Skylar called again.
