Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 244

The department manager had already left his seat beside Tobias, but Skylar still thought that it was a bad

idea, so she remained standing.

“Why are you standing there? Aren’t you tired? Just sit.” Tobias issued an order.

With that, Skylar had no choice but to sit by his side.

The members of the department had sorted out the whole suicide situation and handed the report to

Tobias along with the public opinion survey results. Almost all of the public’s opinions were negative. A

lot of it complained about there being too much overtime work and that the internal assessments were

way too harsh. To them, those were the causes for the employees’ death.

Tobias flipped through the documents and sneered. “If they can’t even handle that sort of pressure,

they’re better off dead. We’ve all been through stressful times. We’ve all experienced hardship.”

Skylar looked at Tobias. Once again, she had witnessed how merciless he could be. To him, people’s life

did not matter whatsoever.

Then, the manager handed Tobias the draft of their public statement for him to check. While he was

going the draft, Tobias’ held Skylar’s hand tightly within his own in front of everyone there. According to

the draft, the company was going to deny any and all responsibilities toward the matter.

While Tobias was still reading, everyone there was stunned. Mr. Ford’s actually flirting with a woman at a

time like this?

“If you’re bored, you can go out for a walk. Go to the cafeteria if you’re hungry. The food there is not

bad.” Tobias whispered into Skylar’s ear.

Skylar shook her head and whispered back. “It’s fine. I’ll just stay here as long as you’re alright.”

Meanwhile, all the staff sat there cautiously. Everyone was curious about Skylar’s identity as she could

get Tobias to speak so gently.

The general public has been requesting a formal explanation from the Ford Group regarding the suicide.

Tobias looked at the manager. “What’s there to explain? They were the ones that made the choice. Did I

force them to jump? Scratch this part of the draft.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

After a while, Tobias rejected the draft they prepared. It looked like the draft was really good with how it

manipulated the words and sentences. But to Tobias, the whole team was just a bunch of idiots.

Skylar started yawning as she was at her limit. It was almost three in the morning and it did not seem like

the meeting would end any time soon.

Somehow, she was able to understand why the employees of this international company would commit

suicide. They were making money by burning their lives working overtime.

This is the hour when people get really sleepy at that time of the day, and the feeling of hunger coupled

with sleepiness did not feel good for Skylar.

Tobias noticed that her eyes were closing and that she was just forcing herself to stay awake. It looked

like she could fall asleep at any minute.

So, he capped his pen and gave her a pat and the shoulder. Skylar’s watery eyes immediately widened

as she jolted awake.

Her sleepiness was relieved by quite a bit and she looked towards Tobias, thinking that she had just

fallen asleep. Did I snore? It would be really embarrassing if I did.

Then, Skylar looked at the staffs in the meeting room. Everyone had a grim expression on their face with

their brows tightly knitted. It did not seem like they were in a good mood.

“Let’s go,” Tobias said out of the blue. “We’re going back. You need to rest.”

However, Skylar was stubborn. “You just go on with your work. I’m fine.”

Tobias was having none of that. He grabbed her by the arm and gently picked her up. Then, he pulled

her into his arm while he took her bag.

“Let’s go. Even if you don’t need the rest, I do.”

Hearing that made Skylar slightly relieved. She did not want Tobias to delay his work because of her

since she could not help him with anything there.

Skylar once thought about whether she would become a strong and independent woman once she

graduated. Whether she would be able to stay level-headed when dealing with serious issues. She

wondered if she would be able to engage in deep conversations with people elegantly and valiantly.

In short, just like Tobias’ assistant, Susan.

Because of the condition of her family and the environment she grew up in, Skylar figured that it was

almost impossible for her to obtain that sense of dominance that Susan gave off. There was still too

much she needed to learn.
