Chapter 788 Came All The Way Here
After hanging up the call, Tobias ended the meeting. Everyone, except for Susan, heaved a long sigh of relief.
It was high-intensity and pressure to attend Tobias' meeting. They were like secret agents carrying out a highly stressful, dangerous classified mission.
They hurriedly gathered their belongings and bowed to Tobias before leaving.
Susan was not surprised that Tobias ended the meeting early. After all, Skylar had arrived, and she was the only one who could alter Tobias' work schedule.
"Mr. Ford, should I go downstairs to bring Ms. Jones up?" Susan poured a cup of hot coffee for Tobias.
Tobias initially thought of having Susan meet Skylar downstairs, but he changed his mind. He got up from the couch. "I'll go. You can rearrange my schedule for tomorrow. Since Skylar is here, adjust my morning schedule if you can."
Susan did not need to look at Tobias' schedule, as she knew it by heart.
"Mr. Ford, you have a golf appointment with Mr. Chadwick tomorrow morning at eight o'clock. Is it too late to inform him of the cancellation or postponement?"
Tobias just remembered that he had scheduled an appointment to play golf with Oscar Chadwick the next day. He came to Newcove this time to cooperate on the Green Space Resort project.
Tobias was not that close to Oscar, but they were not strangers either. Tobias had always admired Oscar's intelligence and ability.
He checked the time and realized it was already very late. Skylar would be left alone in the hotel if he left tomorrow morning at around seven.
Skylar would be able to sleep more soundly when he was with her. After weighing his options, Tobias decided to cancel the appointment for tomorrow morning.
Just when he was about to head downstairs to bring Skylar up, Susan reminded him, "There might be paparazzi taking photos secretly."
Tobias motioned for Susan to bring Skylar up.
Tobias had a serious conversation with Skylar about making their relationship public previously.
However, Skylar did not appreciate it. She then hesitantly said that nothing good ever came from forcing someone to do something they did not want to do.
What was the point of forcing someone to do something they did not want to when nothing good came from it? Hence, Skylar solely focused on her career.
Penelope lit another cigarette while looking in the northwest direction. When she saw camera lights flashing, she pointed in that direction and said, "There are paparazzi taking photos of you. I also recognize the car next to him. They have been following us since the airport."
Skylar looked in the direction she was pointing after hearing her words. Indeed, there were paparazzi taking photos of her.
No matter their profession, it was still challenging work to try to secretly take pictures of her in the cold wind so late at night. Skylar could not understand why her fans were so averse to her dating. She would lose most of her fans once she disclosed her relationship.
Just then, Skylar realized she should not have asked Tobias to come downstairs to bring her up. When she was about to call to let Susan come down, she saw Susan in her line of sight. "Mr. Ford sent me to bring you up."
Susan took Skylar's luggage. The latter said she could take it herself out of courtesy, but Susan replied with a smile, "It must have been tough for you to come here. Let me do it."
Skylar asked, "Why are all the hotel rooms full? Is business here that good?"
Susan answered, "Mr. Ford booked the entire hotel."
Tobias will certainly pull this off as he's rich and wealthy.
Penelope settled down in a luxurious suite while Skylar followed Susan to Tobias' room. At the door, Susan gave the luggage to Skylar. "You can go in now, Ms. Jones. Mr. Ford has just finished dealing with matters on his end. Please rest early."
Skylar could detect a trace of ambiguity in Susan's eyes.
It made Skylar feel as if she had traveled all the way there just to see Tobias.
