When Skylar didn’t come up after a long time, Tobias took a peek from the top of the stairs. He saw her lying on the
sofa while playing with her phone.
To him, it was as if she was addicted to her phone and would go crazy if it was taken away from her.
“It’s getting late. Shouldn’t you be in bed?” He urged, cognizant that Skylar was avoiding him.
Without even looking, Skylar continued surfing TikTok. “I’m not sleepy. You don’t have to wait up as I’m still busy.”
Given how brazenly she had ignored him, Tobias snatched her phone away and flung it onto the sofa.
Before she could react, he picked her up and pressed her against the coffee table.
As he gently kissed and nibbled her on her neck, she felt the cold from the table pierce her skin. However, the
burning sensation from his breath somehow kept her body warm.

unzipped it in haste.
As there was no avoiding the inevitable, Skylar looked at the ceiling in despair. She was filled with conflicting
emotions, as both lust and the desire to refuse him dueled against each other.
“Be gentle…” she uttered meekly.
“Mmm-hmm.”
Caressing her slender thighs roughly, his actions became gentler as he gradually moved upward.
“Here or upstairs?” Tobias asked when he saw her grimacing. Given how hard the coffee table was, it was no
different than having her lay on top of freezing cold marble.
“Upstairs…” she replied softly. She had sat up and wrapped her arms around Tobias’ neck, waiting for him to carry
her up.
As the sun shone on her face, she gradually opened her eyes and realized she was covered by a blanket. Rubbing
her eyes, she saw that it was already eleven and Tobias was no longer beside her.
She assumed Tobias had already left as he was too busy to sleep in with her.
Recently, Skylar had a lot more free time. Other than a few commercial shoots and a reality show, she didn’t have
much else on her plate. Kate was also busy screening through scripts so as to find her a new urban drama to act in.
The scripts that Kate had shortlisted revolved around office romance. After going through them, Skylar couldn’t
come to a decision.
Yawning as she walked down the stairs, Skylar was surprised to see Tobias still there. After all, she had woken up at
eleven. By the time she brushed her teeth and washed her face, it was already past twelve.
“Don’t you have to go to work today?” The moment she asked, Skylar realized her question was redundant. As the
boss, Tobias could work wherever and whenever he wanted.
Tobias replied, “I don’t feel like it. So, I’m taking the day off.”

Tobias furrowed his eyebrows. “What? Are you upset that I’m here? Why are you chasing me away? What is your
plan for the day?”
Skylar squinted her eyes. “I’m not chasing you out. You can stay however long you like. I’m going over to Uncle
Wesley’s house. He called early in the morning and I have no idea what he wants.”
Tobias didn’t know what to say in response. From his perspective, the mere mention of Skylar’s relatives meant
trouble.
After all, Skylar and her uncle never met for chatters. Worried that her relatives might cause Skylar trouble, Tobias
decided to tag along.
Before she went over, Skylar didn’t think much of it since the incident with Kevin’s game credit reloads had been
resolved.
Nevertheless, she knew it would definitely not be Wesley expressing his gratitude by inviting her over for a meal.
