Chapter 465


    Tobias lowered his head and nted a kiss on her forehead. He raised his brows when his lips sensed


    the burning sensation on her skin. cing his big palm on her forehead, he frowned and asked, “Your


    forehead feels unusually hot. Are you not feeling well?”


    Skr was feeling a bit feverish and giddy, yet she just replied casually, “Nothing serious, maybe just a


    cold.”


    In the meantime, Lina pressed herself against the wall outside the kitchen, trying to eavesdrop on the


    conversation between Tobias and Skr. She dared not even let out a deep breath as she did not want


    to be discovered by them. She was green with envy when she saw Tobias embrace Skr and kissed


    her forehead.


    Pfft! Even when preparing dinner in the kitchen, Skr doesn’t let go of the chance to flirt with Tobias.


    Her coquettish tone really gives me goosebumps!


    When it was time for dinner, Lina sat next to Skr deliberately at the round dining table so she could


    see Tobias clearly.


    At the sight of the roasted asparagus, baked prawns, grilled sausages, pumpkin soup, and steak sd


    on the dining table, Lina sniffed andplimented exaggeratively, “Wow, all these look yummy! Skr,


    your cooking skill has improved a lot. Ah! If I’m not mistaken, Jeremy’s dad has guided you in cooking,


    hasn’t he? He’s a chef, right?”


    Skr was handing Lina a fork. Upon hearing her words, her hand stiffened.


    Is Lina bringing up the topic intentionally to drive the wedge between Tobias and me? My goodness! How


    can she mention my ex-boyfriend now? After all, he’s the only ex-boyfriend I have had all this while. Why


    can’t the others let me off and keep provoking me on this?


    Suppressing her displeasure, she replied cidly, “Tobias is more health-conscious and prefers food that


    is less greasy. So, I actually browsed through the menu posted by others online and tried to prepare


    something which suits his taste.”


    Lina put on a guilty look and nced at Skr as if she felt sorry for being blunt with her words.


    Tobias did not chime in and started having his meals silently. In fact, it was his habit to eat in silence.


    Lina changed the topic and talked about her career instead. “Mr. Ford, I’ve just resigned and switched to


    sales line now. What do you think about this line? I’m looking forward to having new career advancement


    and be a sessful entrepreneur. I’m convinced that it can be achieved within these few years.”


    Knowing that Tobias would have some negativements on her confidence, Skr replied on behalf of


    him by encouraging her, “It doesn’t matter which line you are in. As long as you are conscientious with


    your job, I’m sure you will be sessful.”

    Tobias really disliked people who were overconfident and tended to sound boastful. He narrowed his


    eyes and was obviously repulsed by her demeanor. As expected, he finally opened his mouth and


    commented indifferently, “Doing sales and marketing is a rathermon job. It’s actually even more


    challenging to excel in this line of job. However, it’s definitely not as simple as what you think to fulfill


    consumers’ high expectations. Hence, it’s too early for you to talk about being a sessful


    entrepreneur.”


    My goodness! He’s really straightforward! Skr gulped at Tobias’ oppression and pinched him lightly on


    the thigh to stop him from blurting out more words.


    In an instant, there was a slight change in Lina’s expression. Intimidated by the coldness in Tobias’ eyes,


    she lowered her head to eat the prawn on her te in order to conceal her awkwardness.


    When Tobias was cleaning up the dining table after dinner, Skr grabbed the chance to cheer Lina up


    by consoling her, “Tobias is very straightforward. He never really gives words of encouragement to


    anyone. Don’t take it seriously and be discouraged by what he said earlier.”


    Lina asked her curiously, “He’s really fierce. How can you stand him?”


    Skr shrugged her shoulders and said, “Well, I have gotten used to it.”


    Later, Skr went up earlier for a rest as she was feeling under the weather. Initially, she actually thought


    of asking Lina how long she nned to stay over at their ce. However, she felt awkward raising the


    topic. Tobias knew her well and evenmented that one of her weaknesses was having difficulty in


    rejecting others—which was due to her family background.


    Tobias was surprised when he noticed that Skr was already in bed even before the clock struck eight


    at night. She tucked herself under the nket and was watching the reality show with her phone.


    In the video, Kai was ying games with the host. He looked eye-catching in his pure white costume for


    his character in the movie Empyrean Sword.


    Tobias’ face turned grim when he recalled what Sheldon said about how Kai kept mumbling Skr’s


    name when he was drunk. He pursed his lips and snatched her phone instinctively. “Stop watching the


    show. The battery of your phone is almost t.”


    Skyler knitted her brows and refuted, “It’s not true. There’s still more than eighty percent left. I can always


    recharge the batteryter as well. Other than watching the reality show, there’s nothing I can do now. It’s


    not like I have any script to go through.”
