The public relations’ solution to the problem was the same as what Tobias had suggested. “I don’t know how this
happened, but I will be more careful from now on to prevent it from happening again,” Skylar said.
“Mr. Ford is here too. I’m assuming he came because of this incident. Did you two come here together?” Kate
asked.
Skylar didn’t even know that Tobias was coming over, especially since the two of them went at it last night.
Tobias had left after getting a phone call earlier. I didn’t think he’d beat me to Royal Entertainment since he never
really cares about the company…
“Where is he? Is he in the CEO’s office? I didn’t know he came over too!” Skylar asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKate lowered her voice to a whisper. “I know you probably won’t like what I’m about to say, but I’m telling you this
for your own good. The only reliable thing in this world is your career, so don’t pin your hopes on men! For all we
know, he could be here to confront you about the incident! It’s possible that he suspects you of working together
with the person who took the picture. You know, so that you can force him into marrying you and gain the title as
his wife. He’s bound to get sick of you sooner or later if you keep this up, okay?”
Skylar frowned at how much Kate was underestimating her place in Tobias’ heart.
“He won’t think of me that way. We’ve been dating for a long time now, so he knows me very well!” she said
confidently.
Upon that, Kate let out a sigh in disappointment. “You silly girl! He could be plotting so many things behind your
back without you even knowing!”
Keeping mum, Skylar didn’t know how she could convince Kate that Tobias had never lied to her.
“Why were you buying a pregnancy test kit anyway? Are you pregnant? You’re done for if you get pregnant now!
Ask yourself this, would men prefer a hot mom or a pure maiden?” Kate asked worriedly.
“No, I’m not pregnant. I was just feeling unwell and went to buy some painkillers,” Skylar explained helplessly.
Kate wasn’t sure whether to believe her words as Skylar’s responses often sounded neutral regardless of how she
was feeling.
Meanwhile, inside Valerie’s office, Tobias picked up a picture of Valerie and Susan on her desk.
It’s been so many years now, and yet my two best assistants are still single? That’s odd… Well, not that it’s my
concern, though.
“Mr. Ford, Skylar is now working as an artiste in Royal Entertainment, so you two should avoid being seen in public
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmor things will be very difficult for us. Why not just marry her and make it official?” Valerie complained.
Her courage to speak her mind was the one thing Tobias liked most about her back in the day.
Valerie had just graduated from university and left her village to seek a better career prospect in the city. Due to
her lack of experience in dealing with people, she had a hard time adjusting.
Over time, she gradually learned to be more reserved around people. Apart from her picking on Skylar in the past,
Tobias found no other fault in the way she did things.
Valerie looked at Tobias expectantly as she waited for his response.
Truthfully speaking, she had little to no confidence in the possibility of him marrying Skylar.
