Chapter 262


    Skr attributed her damned curiosity and pessimism to her Scorpio sun sign.


    Even today, she felt that there was no single part of her that was worthy of being Tobias’ girlfriend.


    Everyone always said that “confident women are the prettiest women”, but she could only resort to


    finding her self-confidence in Tobias’panionship.


    Her home environment while growing up affected her in a very negative and unhealthy way. It was


    exactly why she was so desperate to prove herself, it was exactly why she wanted to discover her self-


    worth, and it was exactly why she wanted to be perfect. Pursuing those ideals was the only thing


    she was absolutely determined and confident in.


    Looking up at him, she realized that he seemed tired, a constant wrinkle between his eyebrows.

    “Why do you need to go to work so early in the morning if you’re the boss? Can’t you just re-arrange your


    own schedule? If you leave for the office now, you’ll arrive earlier than even the security guards.”


    Tobias could hear the suspicion in Skr’s questions. She was just beating around the bush because


    she was insecure.


    He preferred girls who were obedient, but at least Skr hadn’t outright used him of anything.


    “I have to go elsewhere for a meeting and thene back at noon. That’s why I’m leaving so early in the


    morning. Are you satisfied with this exnation?”


    He clearly sounded upset. Is he annoyed because I’m being a busybody?


    She waved him away, forcing a near-perfect smile. “Just go. I’ll rest for a while and then go out, too.”


    As Skr trudged up the stairs, Tobias called out after her, “Be careful while you’re home alone and go


    get some sleep soon.”


    Skr didn’t respond, continuing to walk up the stairs. She was aware that she wasn’t acting right and


    that her heart felt like it was being squeezed dry inside her chest. It was as if her love for Tobias had


    completely taken over her entire being, and her emotions fluctuated based on Tobias’ every move and


    every word.


    All of his moods directly determined her own. This could not go on. Her past rtionship had been


    exactly like this, and it was the reason why she had been so deeply hurt.


    She’d had a total of two rtionships, both of which she was very serious about. Is this one going to


    backfire just like thest one had?


    If Tobias turned on her and didn’t want to take the rtionship seriously anymore, she could guarantee


    that they wouldn’t just be physically apart, they would most likely never get back together, nor even see


    each other ever again.


    She returned to the bedroom and flopped onto the bed, yawning as she curled into afortable


    sleeping position.


    She distantly wondered how Wesley and his family were doing. They were most likely stunned by how


    Miranda had been dered innocent, hastily rediscussing their schemes behind her back.


    And to think that Miranda had been worried about returning home sote because she might disrupt their


    sleep. If she hadn’te home at all, they really might have stayed sleeping soundly like a baby.


    Skr only awoke when her phone rang with a call from Kate, who sounded very cross with her when


    she answered the call. “We had an appointment at eleven o’clock today. It’s already eleven. Where are


    you?”


    Skr instantly jumped out of bed, washing her face and brushing her teeth at record speed. She had


    forgotten to set an rm, and hadn’t expected that she would sleep for so long either.


    It took her only ten minutes after getting out of bed to leaving the house bare-faced and waving down a


    taxi to head for Royal Entertainment.


    She had yet to reach her destination when her phone rang again. This time, it was a call from Tobias.


    Skr was a little taken aback, wondering if he had identally called the wrong number because he


    usually never contacted her at this time of day.


    Answering the call and saying “hello” a few times into the receiver, she was met with no response.


    All she heard were the sounds of Tobias’ surroundings. There were people all around him talking


    heatedly, and it sounded like their discussion had just reached a boiling point.


    Skr listened to the strange call as she walked, and even asionally picked out Tobias’ cold,


    emotionless voice.


    “The final payment hasn’t even been paid, and yet you all keep drawing up new blueprints. Are you just


    lying to yourselves or do you think I am an idiot?”
