Skylar whispered, “Who counts how much they've drunk? That won't be generous. I can't remember
how many glasses of wine I drank.”
Tobias' frown disappeared as he gazed at her affectionately. “You aren't in a business discussion, so
why must you be generous?”
To remove the smell of alcohol clinging to her, she washed her body twice when she was bathing.
When she came out, she smelled like fragrant pomegranate. Her fair cheeks had turned rosy from the
steam in the bathroom.
Leaning against the headboard, Tobias stared at her intently. Although it was dim, she could notice how
bloodshot his eyes were.
“Didn't you rest well? You look like you've stayed up for a few nights.”
Tobias closed his eyes. “Yeah, I haven't slept for a few nights.”
Skylar flipped the blankets and climbed onto the bed. Remembering how men destress, she placed her
hand on Tobias' waist.
However, Tobias grabbed her hand, preventing it from roaming around.
His action made his response clear—he did not want to do it that night.
Skylar felt a little awkward. After all, it was quite embarrassing for a woman to be rejected after taking
the initiative.
When Tobias noticed her disappointment, he hugged her soft body and pulled her closer to him. “I'm so
tired that I only want to sleep. I'll fall asleep while hugging you, okay?”
Skylar nodded obediently.
Tobias kissed her rosy lips. Then, he opened her collar and moved his kisses down.
Skylar ran her fingers through his dark hair. However, Tobias did not do anything more. After he was
satisfied, he hugged her.
Having been flirted with by Tobias, Skylar no longer felt tired. She stared at him and gently traced the
outline of his face with a finger.
She could not find any flaws in his facial features. His hand was still draped over her stomach, his
watch still wrapped around his wrist.
She could feel the coldness of the metal above her pajamas.
Skylar freed an arm and took out her phone from underneath her pillow.
Afraid that the screen would be so bright that it would disrupt Tobias' sleep, she turned the brightness
down and switched to dark mode.

that had arose recently. He expressed his mourning for the deceased. Regarding the few accidents, he
said that the management of Ford Group had not been fulfilling their duties well. It was indisputable that
they have to shoulder the responsibility. Meanwhile, Tobias mourns for the deceased on behalf of the
company and expresses his condolences to the relatives and injured employees. At the same time, he
also offers his sincerest apologies to the public. (Reported by Zack from The Times).
Skylar saw the news about Ford Group on Twitter. The netizens' opinions were split into two extremes,
with some scolding the company for its capitalist and ruthless actions.
The top comment was chastising Ford Group for scamming its clients. Even though the CEO claimed
to apologize sincerely, he was nowhere to be seen.
He did not even show up for the press release. The person bowing and apologizing was merely the
manager of the factory.
Skylar almost liked the post accidentally. She logged out of her main account fearfully and went to her
spam account.
As an outsider, she also thought that Tobias' attitude toward the issue was quite cold. It was no wonder
that the netizens felt so indignant and furious.
At four in the morning, the dogs barking by the side of the road woke Tobias up.
He opened his eyes groggily and saw that Skylar was still holding her phone. The sky was starting to
turn brighter outside the window.
Still, Skylar was staring at her phone attentively, not noticing that Tobias had already woken up.
Before Skylar could react, he snatched her phone away and placed it on the bedside table.
After a while, she asked, “Why are you awake so early?”
Tobias replied hoarsely, “I should be the one asking you why you aren’t asleep yet.”
