Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 6

As one, the Lanes looked at Skylar.

To them, a poor nobody like her would never be acquainted with someone rich.

On the other hand, Skylar could not figure out Tobias' intentions.

In the meantime, Avery grew upset, frowning as she questioned, "Who is Mr. Ford, and why did he give

you a bottle of wine?"

Skylar raised her brows, huffing out a laugh. "Do you have a problem with that? Did you think I was

completely friendless? Anyway, I don't owe you an answer."

Unsatisfied with her response, Jeremy grabbed Skylar's wrist, his eyes flashing with anger. "What kind

of people did you get involved in? I'm your

boyfriend! Why didn't I know about this?"

Furrowing her brows, Skylar flung his hand away and snapped, "Hah! How dare you question me!

Apparently, there's much I don't know about you too!"

"This is different!" Jeremy took a deep breath.

Skylar was truly disappointed with him, but she could not muster up the courage to break things off with

him just yet.

She needed time to calm down.

Grabbing her bag, she stood up and announced, "Enjoy your meal. Guess I won't have to annoy you

with my presence any longer."

Seeing that Skylar about to leave, no one tried to stop her.

'TH call you later," Jeremy curtly said.

Not wanting to seem rude, Skylar hummed a response.

Once she stepped out of the room, the dam broke, and tears flowed freely down her cheeks.

Unable to control herself, she squatted on the ground and cried her heart out.

Her bestie, Penelope, was right. Faithful men did not exist in this world.

She had done so much for Jeremy; they were supposed to get married.

In the end, he brought her sister and humiliated her in front of his entire family.

Every time, Avery would easily get what she could only dream of getting.

Today was no different; Avery had looked at her with so much disdain in her eyes, as if she were a

mere speck of dust beneath her shoes.

Everything that happened just now was like a knife piercing into her heart, the pain unbearable.

"Why are you crying every time I see you? Aren’t you a sentimental one," a deep voice came from

above her.

Skylar raised her head up in mortification, her body instantly tensing up when she saw Tobias.

"It's none of your business. Just to be clear, you willingly gave that bottle of wine. I don't have the

money to pay you back," she spoke in a trembling voice.

A vague smile formed on Tobias' lips. "It's fine.

You could spend a night with me to make up for it."

Panic surged in Skylar’s chest when she heard what he said.

Her heart clenched in horror, and she wailed even louder just then.

Nevertheless, Tobias remained impassive. Even a woman's tears could not evoke a reaction out of

him.

"Mr. Ford..."

Avery, who came out of the room, could hardly believe her eyes.

The man was indeed Tobias Ford-a business tycoon who possessed a fortune that could rival the entire

nation’s.

Avery only met Tobias once at a business dinner, but he left a deep impression on her nonetheless.

No matter where Tobias was, he could eclipse everything around him in an instant and draw all the

attention to himself.

To have the chance to meet him in person, her father had waited for three years before he was eligible

to attend that business dinner.

At the dinner, Tobias was apathetic at best toward her father, barely saying a few words to him.

What's Skylar doing with Tobias Ford? They're basically apples and oranges.

"Mr. Ford, do you remember me? Not too long ago, I was at the business..."

Tobias remained expressionless as he cut Avery off sharply, "I don't."

Skylar, who was still crouching at the side, did not want Avery to see her cry because that would be

disastrous. She had enough humiliation in a day, and to have Avery mocking her would be the straw

that breaks the camel’s back.

Clenching her fists, she struggled to stabilize her emotions before wiping away her tears with her

sleeves.

Then, she stood up and walked to Tobias' side.

"I'm not feeling well today. Can you take me home?" Skylar naturally linked arms with Tobias.

She might have looked intimate with him on the outside, but she was, in fact, overwhelmed with fear.

Tobias furrowed her brows slightly. What is this woman doing?First, she sold her body. Then she

pretended to be a chaste woman at Elysium. Now, she's clinging to me all of a sudden.

With eyes the size of soccer balls, Avery's jaw went slack as she pointed at Skylar.

"Skylar, do you know Mr. Ford?"

Skylar glanced at Tobias, noticing the grim look in his eyes, seemingly not too happy with this.

Steeling herself, she released his arm and interlaced their hands right in front of Avery.

"I guess you can say that we're quite close..."

Grasping Skylar’s intentions, he stated nonchalantly, "I’ll go get the car."

Skylar clung onto him as if he were her last lifeline, and they left together. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Before leaving, upon seeing Avery go purple with rage, her pent-up frustrations finally dissipated

slightly.

She succeeded in defending her last shred of dignity.

At the hotel’s entrance, Skylar immediately released Tobias’ hand.

Feeling indebted to him, she said in a timid voice, "You don't need to send me home. I'll take the bus."

Tobias quietly studied this petite lady of many faces before speaking with a hint of contempt in his

voice. "So you’re discarding me after you used me?"

Skylar bit her lower lip, telling herself that this man was trouble, and she should stay as far away from

him as possible.

Without answering, she turned to leave.

But Tobias was too fast for her as he quickly raised his arm to block her.

Skylar closed her eyes, thinking to herself that perhaps going to hell was not such a bad thing since

that meant she would not need to see this man's face.

"I gave you three million, but you still have to take the bus? Have you spent all the money?"

Hearing that, Skylar’s lashes fluttered slightly. So far, Tobias seemed like an upright man.

She began to question whether that check was, in fact, real.

"Where is your car?" Skylar boldly asked, planning to uncover the truth of the matter today.

She was hell-bent on finding out the true liar.

Tobias then motioned for her to follow him, and

Skylar trailed behind him to the underground car park.

As soon as they reached the car park, they saw a young couple kissing passionately against the pillar

not too far away.

They kissed as if they were the only two people in the world, looking like they were only a step away

from tearing off each other's clothes and having a go at it right then and there.

As for the woman, her clothes were already slightly undone, exposing her fair chest.

Skylar was so embarrassed a blush crept up her neck to her cheeks.

Memories of that night surfaced in her mind. The kiss she and Tobias shared was even more intense

than this couple's.

Tobias had left her gasping for air that night, kissing and biting her so much that she thought if he was

actually human.

"Turned on already?" The man's voice was low and sexy.

Skylar glanced at the indifferent expression on his face upon hearing what he said.

This man is nothing but a wolf in sheep's skin.

"Perv!" Skylar snapped.

Tobias chuckled softly. Even though his smile did not reach his eyes, it was gentle and seemed to melt

away the frigid aura surrounding him.

Without hesitation, Skylar got into the backseat of Tobias' black Maybach.

But Tobias pointed at the front passenger seat

and said, "Sit in the front."

"Forget it. I prefer sitting in the back." Skylar turned him down in a vigilant tone.

Tobias shot her a cold glance through the rearview mirror. "You like sitting in the back? Well, I enjoy

doing it in the back. I mean, there's so much more space to get creative. So it's up to you where you

wanna sit."
