Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 768 A Guaranteed Profit

Skylar's hair had grown to reach her collarbone. She delicately ran her fingers through her locks and skillfully tied them up into a neat ponytail. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“What endorsement contract? Is it for the commercial plaza?” she asked, stealing a glance at Tobias through his reflection in the mirror, hoping to discern any hint of his thoughts. However, his face remained impassive, devoid of any visible reaction. Gradually, a refreshing scent filled the room.

As Tobias didn't bother replying to her, Skylar's lips curled silently. Saorise, the brand ambassador, was handpicked by Tobias himself.

She couldn't even get Tobias to select her as the brand ambassador.

Hence, she decided to stop considering Saorise as her imaginary rival. There was no need to compare herself to someone on a different level, as doing so would only bring unnecessary frustration.

Skylar opened the drawer and retrieved the birth control pills. She popped one out to take it. She no longer needed reminders to take the pill, as she had fully accepted her circumstances.

Before she could do so, Tobias stopped her. “What are you doing? I didn't get any into your body, so you don't have to take any pills.”

Skylar was worried. When Tobias was about to climax last night, he remained inside her for a long time, and she was concerned that he might've lost control.

Penelope's experience served as a reminder for Skylar that she should not consider getting pregnant until her relationship with Tobias was stable. She understood that it would be unfair to bring a child into an uncertain situation.

As Skylar ignored him and planned on eating the pill, Tobias reached out and took it from her, his gaze turning dark. Frustrated, he admonished her, “I specifically told you not to take the pill. Why won't you listen to me? Why are you so stubborn?”

Skylar had no choice but to throw the pill away. Without saying anything, she spun on her heels and went downstairs, not feeling aggrieved at all.

It was early in the morning, but Miranda was unexpectedly present in Skylar's living room. It felt like a dream to Skylar, seeing Miranda in her house at seven-fifteen in the morning.

“Why are you here early in the morning?” Skylar asked as she yawned lazily, sinking onto the couch. She still looked sleepy.

Miranda noticed that Skylar looked unwell, as her cheeks were unnaturally pale.

“Did you take the medication I gave you yesterday? Is it working?”

Skylar observed the excitement in Miranda's eyes, as if the medication she had brought was a miraculous remedy.

She snapped, “I can't believe you brought me prescription medication. I dare not take it. Don't you know that it has serious side effects?”

Miranda let out an icy snort and reprimanded her, “Young people nowadays are dramatic. You dare not eat anything, huh? It isn't that scary. If you don't want to take the medication, give them back to me so I can give them to others.”

Skylar spread her hands, indicating that she couldn't do it. “I already threw them away in the trash can. Do you want me to retrieve them?”

Miranda huffed angrily, feeling betrayed by Skylar's actions as she had to rely on a friend to obtain the medication.

Pointing upstairs, she lowered her voice to ask, “Is Tobias around? I don't see him.”

“He's sleeping upstairs, but I don't know what time he'll be up. Just look at me. Why would you need to talk to him? Is there something you need from him?”

Miranda handed a contract to Skylar, smoothing out her own clothes in the process. She crossed her legs and straightened her posture, projecting an air of professionalism.

“I'm currently working on a project that promises significant profits. However, I lack the initial funding and investment required. Can you assist me with that?” Miranda asked.

It dawned on Skylar that Miranda had come to her early in the morning to ask for money.

She glanced at the bold words written on the contract—Taffledale Health Investment.

The name alone seemed pretty untrustworthy to her.

She proceeded to complain, “I don't have any money. I've recently lost all my savings, and I've also lost an endorsement deal. On top of that, I need to compensate for another endorsement. I truly don't have any money.”
