Why is this man so cruel?
Skylar had thought that Tobias had let her go when he dropped her off at her uncle’s place.
It seemed that the man had figured out that her Uncle Wesley and Aunt Sharon wouldn’t take her in, and she would eventually have to survive on the streets.
He could make her lose her job at any minute in this big city.
Just then, Skylar’s phone rang. It was a message from an unknown number: 611 Green Avenue. No. 201, International Garden.
Jeremy had always dreamed of buying a villa at International Garden if he ever became a celebrity. Thus, Skylar didn’t have to know the street name to find the place since he had brought her there more than once.
Skylar replied: You jerk! Are you trying to kill me?
Tapping away furiously on the keyboard, her eyes were blazing in rage.
Tobias replied: Why would I? Your life is not that worth it.
Not wanting to be involved with him anymore, Skylar simply left him hanging.
Meanwhile, Tobias was fidgeting with his phone when his assistant, Cameron, came knocking on the door.
“These are the places Ms. Jones had been to today, Mr. Ford.”
Cameron had been tailing Skylar all day, and he couldn’t make head or tail of it.
Wasting no time, Tobias took the map from Cameron and let out a chuckle.
This woman sure can walk. She knows what job is good enough for her and didn’t return to Elysium despite being driven to a corner.
Tobias then walked over to the window, staring at the twinkling lights outside.
Skylar wasn’t surprised as she had grown accustomed to Tobias’ abrupt appearance, as though he had installed a tracker on her.
“All thanks to you for driving me to death,” Skylar said placidly, her heart growing numb.
“Don’t make it sound so serious.” Tobias sat across from Skylar. “Sign this contract, and all your problems will be solved.”
Skylar accepted the contract that smelled of freshly printed ink.
Partnership agreement. How tactful.
She skimmed through the contract, then glanced up at Tobias with fear and undisguised disgust in her eyes.
It was a servitude contract, in which it was clearly stated that all the employer’s needs should be met.
