Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

They were still on the highway at this hour.

As Susan quickly searched for the timing of the event on her phone, she stumbled upon the performance list and noticed Skylar's name among the performers.

She promptly understood why Tobias had opted for the car instead of a plane. He must have been concerned about the lack of Wi-Fi on the plane, which would require him to activate flight mode and potentially miss the live stream.

It was rare to see Tobias prioritizing his emotions over rationality.

Susan told him, "Ms. Jones would be performing at nine fifteen. You can watch it on your phone."

Tobias didn't know how to use his phone to watch any live streams or videos. He handed his phone to Susan, knowing well that she was more adept at navigating technology.

Susan took the phone and quickly downloaded the official application for the Golden Gala. She skillfully scrolled through the app until she found the live stream section, where the event was broadcasted in real-time.

The show had just begun, and Tobias wasn't interested in any of the performances.

Curious, Susan blurted out, "Can Ms. Jones sing well?"

"No, she's a bad singer," came Tobias' reply.

Susan didn't believe him and assumed he had high standards. After all, Skylar possessed a soft and melodious voice, which led Susan to believe that she couldn't possibly be a bad singer.

When it was time for Skylar to go on stage, Tobias had already fallen asleep. Susan glanced at him through the rearview mirror.

Skylar is really lucky as he adores her so much.

She wanted to wake Tobias up but dared not do so. Instead, she decided to stream the event on her own device. Skylar appeared on stage in a dazzling outfit that accentuated her beauty. Her makeup was bold and artistic, adding to her allure. Susan couldn't help but be captivated by Skylar's stunning presence, realizing that she was destined to lead an extraordinary life.

Although Susan noticed that Skylar's dance moves appeared slightly tense and she was lip-syncing to the song, it didn't detract from the overall mesmerizing experience. Skylar's sheer magnetism and stage presence were unparalleled.

Tobias missed Skylar's performance entirely. When he woke up, Susan showed him the video she recorded earlier.

"Mr. Ford, Ms. Jones' performance was amazing. It seemed she is a born performer," Susan told him.

She wasn't good at flattery, so it was rare for her to lavish praises on someone.

Tobias took her phone to watch the video, but his focus wasn't on whether Skylar danced or sang well.

His gaze was focused on Skylar's shorts. Why is she wearing such short pants? It's so short that she'll flash herself if her dance moves were a little more intense.

Tobias couldn't bring himself to watch Skylar in that outfit. She had better not wear this outfit back home.

He returned Susan's phone to her, the phone warm from his touch.

"Won't you finish watching it, Mr. Ford?"

Tobias kneaded his shoulders and replied, "I made a promise to watch it, and I fulfilled that promise by watching half of it. It still counts, and I can let her know I watched it when I arrive home. Also, regarding the matter I discussed with you earlier, I'm considering seeking Skylar's opinion on it."

The smile on Susan's lips faltered. "Mr. Ford, I've faithfully served as your assistant for years. Do you think you'll be able to adjust once I no longer hold that position?" Tobias replied coldly, "No one can make me develop habits. I believe you can do well in helping Skylar. Do you feel tired working for me? It's time for you to relax."

When Tobias arrived home, Skylar

wasn't back yet. Madelyn would be nervous every time she saw him

come home. He sat there without et

saying anything, but his intimidating aura was suffocating. Madelyn had never truly comprehended at

intimidating meant until she crossed paths with him.

It wasn't that stressful to interact with Skylar. She felt more relaxed and could even skip wearing a bra when Skylar was home.

Madelyn was busy preparing supper for Skylar. It was almost ten at night, the time she usually went to bed.

She placed the lentil soup she had prepared into a thermal food jar.

Tobias reentered the room after being away for a few days, only to find that Skylar had transformed its appearance. The walls were now adorned with an abundance of Hello Kitty stickers.
