Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 610

Chapter 610 Without Care for Her Standing

With his long legs crossed up on the edge of the coffee table and his head tilted slightly back, Tobias

stretched himself out lazily on the couch. Not quite recovered from his exertions the night before, he had

his eyes closed as he spoke blandly, “I just didn’t want to get married, so no matter who I was attached

to, I knew that I’d bound to regret it! At first, I thought I’d just muddle through it, but later on, I came to the

realization that such things simply cannot be forced.”

Gavin massaged his own throbbing temples. “I bet your current girlfriend would surely be saddened to

hear that. You’re totally wrecking her dreams, man.”

Tobias opened his eyes. “She’s just a little girl. Besides, she’s never brought this up for discussion

before.”

That only piqued Gavin’s curiosity even more. What sort of woman is she to be able to win the

recognition as Tobias’ girlfriend?

Seeing Laurel’s incoming message prompted him to tap on it immediately.

Laurel: You’ve left some stuff behind. I’ll have them sent back to you by courier.

Gavin frowned. These past few days, he had been contemplating using picking up his things as an

excuse to visit, but Laurel had eliminated that possibility and resolutely refused to give him that chance.

Scheduled to field a meeting at nine, Tobias tapped on his watch in a gesture that Gavin understood

immediately. The latter puffed out the smoke from his mouth and got back onto his feet. “I’m out of here.

My family’s watching me really close as they’re afraid that a grown man like me would try to flee from a Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

wedding.”

Tobias merely waved his hand. At the office door, Gavin nearly ran headlong into Eva who was sending

in some files that were required at the meeting.

Eva bowed apologetically.

Gavin regarded the beauty in the corporate dress with her hair worn up in a bun. The female secretaries

who worked under Tobias were never lacking in quality, especially Susan, who stayed by Tobias’ side for

many years and reputedly remained single to this day.

The file on top of her pile contained the latest plans conceived for the business district, which Eva had

taken a peek into before she came in.

Primarily, the focus of the plan revolved around how to skirt around Harbourside. Three solutions were

proposed by the design team, but no matter what was tabled, the end result of the development would

still be compromised so long as Harbourside remained intact.

It takes only one bad fish to spoil the broth.

Eva was positive that a perfectionist like Tobias would not accept this sort of proposal, and it would only

be a matter of time before her family got evicted from their home.

Before he entered the conference room, Tobias had already reviewed these three proposals, and during

the meeting, he roundly rejected all three of them.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became tremendously suffocating.

While she continued to take notes, Eva had already inferred Tobias’ stance from the expression on his

face.

Sweating it out inside, she was just waiting for Tobias to demand the addition of Harbourside into the

parameters for redevelopment himself, believing that all that was needed was a little nudge. The

monetary compensation for their relocation from that house was no small sum.

In the end, Eva was left disappointed by the conclusion of the meeting, as Tobias only requested the

proposals to be reworked. Harbourside was going to be retained in its entirety, regardless.

Having her hopes dashed left Eva infuriated. If not for Skylar’s sentimentality and reluctance to part with

the old manor, there would not have been so much trouble.

In her esteem, Skylar was a jinx who had only caused her grief at every turn.

Meanwhile, the new costume had already been delivered to Skylar’s dressing room. Even though Shay

was still miffed about that fiasco from yesterday, he had to make concessions.

If Skylar were to find even more excuses to delay their progress, the filming crew would overrun their

budget. It seems that that brat does not care much about her own standing amongst the crew members.

For the life of him, he was still unable to understand why the usually reserved and amiable Skylar had to

throw such a hissy fit over that one issue with the costume.
