Chapter 227
Tobias leaned down and stared at Skr. He cupped the side of her face with one hand while the other
started unbuttoning her shirt.
While he was taking his time, Skr saw the opportunity to reject. “It’s not the right time to do it. Are you
going to insist?”
Tobias raised his eyebrows slightly. In turn, he pinned Skr down and yanked at her overalls but he
was stuck in the midst of doing that.
“But I feel like it. What should we do?”
At that moment, Skr’s phone suddenly rang.
It was so loud as if she had speakers attached to it.
The call had saved her; holding her phone to her face, she created a gap between them.
“Why is someone calling at such an odd hour? Put your phone on speaker.”
It was rare for Tobias to be curious about why Skr’s phone had suddenly rung.
Skr took a nce and it was an unknown number.
She clicked on speakerphone because she had nothing to hide. It waste and it was impossible for a
man to call her at such odd hours.
“Have you informed your friend? Why didn’t we receive the funds yet?” The woman sounded aggravated
through the phone.
Skr looked at the clock that was on the wall. These debt collectors are sure hardworking! It’s ten at
night and they are still working.
“What money are you talking about?” Tobias grabbed Skr’s phone.
“The money she owed ourpany. It’s fair to pay off a debt and it’s useless to continue dragging the
payment. Ourpany is legitimate; if she’s not going to pay her debt, she will receive a statement from
the court.”
Tobias hung up the phone as he didn’t want to continue listening to that woman shout. Hey down on
the bed and rubbed his eyebrows. “Who have you been associating yourself with?”
Tobias’ tone was a mix of sarcasm and contempt as he looked down on her selection of friends.
“I have no clue either. That woman is so fierce and this is the second time she has ridiculed me today,”
Skr ranted instantaneously.
Upon seeing Tobias’ cool off and showing no interest of continuing his act, she sat up and buttoned her
shirt.
“They’re just doing their job.”
Tobias did not validate her feelings after what had happened but he exined it rationally instead.
Skr wasn’t particr about Tobias’ actions, for she was clear that the financial team in Ford Group
worked that way too. Plus, they also had a collections department so it was normal for him to see things
from a more logical standpointpared to her.
Tobias opened the drawer and took out a white medicine container. He took two pills and ced them in
his mouth.
Skr asked, “Why are you always taking this type of medicine? You might be dependent on them or go
crazy if you continue taking them.”
She had read on the inte regarding the side effects of sleeping pills. Those articles were terrifying to
read because some reflected that people might die after taking them.
He replied, “I’m fine. My brain is working well so far but I can’t guarantee what would happen to me in the
future.”
Not long after, Tobias fell asleep while hugging Skr from behind. He had a solemn expression and his
eyebrows furrowed even when he was sleeping. However, it was obvious he was sleeping soundly.
Tobias slept earlier than Skr and she wasn’t used to it. She would usually be the first one to fall asleep
while Tobias headed over to his study room.

Sometimes, he would return to the bed and sleep there and other times he would spend the night on the
study room’s sofa.
She lifted up the nket and got down from the bed. Then she headed towards the kitchen for a ss of
water.
On the way out with her phone in her hands, the messages came in one after another.
She nced at it and suddenly Penelope’s message appeared.
Penelope: Did they call you instead? I’m sorry.
Penelope: It’s a long story. I’ll exin it to youter.
