Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 756 Admitting Your Mistake

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?” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

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.

Tobias was firm in his belief that an employee was obligated to carry out their duties. Empathizing with their troubles was something he was incapable of.

As a result, Skylar had no choice but to wake Madelyn up. After knocking on the latter's door for a long time, Madelyn was finally annoyed enough to put on a thick woolen jacket and open the door.

When Skylar stated the purpose of her visit, Madelyn's expression drastically changed. The exasperation in her reply was also unmistakable.

Finally, she emerged reluctantly from her room, wearing the gloomiest of expressions.

Just before bed, Skylar—mindful of Penelope's words—made an effort to observe Tobias' eyes. Having read one too many agony columns, Penelope seemed to be able to tell what a man was thinking from the look in his eyes.

Noticing her strange behavior, Tobias asked, “Why are you staring at me? Have you realized your mistake?”

Initially, Skylar had no intention of broaching the matter, yet she couldn't resist doing so when faced with Tobias' unrepentant attitude. “I don't think I have done anything wrong at all, for you abandoned me at the parking lot. You should instead consider me sensible for not flaring my temper over it.”
