Tobias leaned down and stared at Skylar. He cupped the side of her face with one hand while the other

started unbuttoning her shirt.

While he was taking his time, Skylar saw the opportunity to reject. “It’s not the right time to do it. Are

you going to insist?”

Tobias raised his eyebrows slightly. In turn, he pinned Skylar down and yanked at her overalls but he

was stuck in the midst of doing that.

“But I feel like it. What should we do?”

At that moment, Skylar’s phone suddenly rang.

It was so loud as if she had speakers attached to it.

The call had saved her; holding her phone to her face, she created a gap between them.

“Why is someone calling at such an odd hour? Put your phone on speaker.”

It was rare for Tobias to be curious about why Skylar’s phone had suddenly rung.

Skylar took a glance and it was an unknown number.

She clicked on speakerphone because she had nothing to hide. It was late and it was impossible for a

man to call her at such odd hours.

“Have you informed your friend? Why didn’t we receive the funds yet?” The woman sounded

aggravated through the phone.

Skylar looked at the clock that was on the wall. These debt collectors are sure hardworking! It’s ten at

night and they are still working.

“What money are you talking about?” Tobias grabbed Skylar’s phone.

“The money she owed our company. It’s fair to pay off a debt and it’s useless to continue dragging the

payment. Our company is legitimate; if she’s not going to pay her debt, she will receive a statement

from the court.”

Tobias hung up the phone as he didn’t want to continue listening to that woman shout. He lay down on

the bed and rubbed his eyebrows. “Who have you been associating yourself with?”

Tobias’ tone was a mix of sarcasm and contempt as he looked down on her selection of friends.

“I have no clue either. That woman is so fierce and this is the second time she has ridiculed me today,”

Skylar ranted instantaneously.

Upon seeing Tobias’ cool off and showing no interest of continuing his act, she sat up and buttoned her

shirt.

“They’re just doing their job.”

Tobias did not validate her feelings after what had happened but he explained it rationally instead.

Skylar wasn’t particular about Tobias’ actions, for she was clear that the financial team in Ford Group

worked that way too. Plus, they also had a collections department so it was normal for him to see

things from a more logical standpoint compared to her.

Tobias opened the drawer and took out a white medicine container. He took two pills and placed them

in his mouth.

Skylar asked, “Why are you always taking this type of medicine? You might be dependent on them or

go crazy if you continue taking them.”

She had read on the internet regarding the side effects of sleeping pills. Those articles were terrifying

to read because some reflected that people might die after taking them.

He replied, “I’m fine. My brain is working well so far but I can’t guarantee what would happen to me in

the future.”

Not long after, Tobias fell asleep while hugging Skylar from behind. He had a solemn expression and

his eyebrows furrowed even when he was sleeping. However, it was obvious he was sleeping soundly.

Tobias slept earlier than Skylar and she wasn’t used to it. She would usually be the first one to fall

asleep while Tobias headed over to his study room.

Sometimes, he would return to the bed and sleep there and other times he would spend the night on

the study room’s sofa.

She lifted up the blanket and got down from the bed. Then she headed towards the kitchen for a glass

of water.

On the way out with her phone in her hands, the messages came in one after another.

She glanced at it and suddenly Penelope’s message appeared.

Penelope: Did they call you instead? I’m sorry.

Penelope: It’s a long story. I’ll explain it to you later.
