Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 173

This wasn’t a catwalk runway. The place she was at was dirty and dusty. After work, all Skylar wanted

was to dress comfortably.

It never crossed her mind to dress sexily in order to please Tobias.

She had always liked dressing up this way since she was a child, preferring unisex clothes that were

simple and comfortable compared to skirts.

“Alright, I’ll go change.” Skylar opened the closet to look for something else to wear.

After rummaging through the closet only to find more cartoon-printed T-shirts, she finally gave up.

“I don’t have any nice clothes, so you’re gonna have to bear with this.” She shrugged nonchalantly.

“Change your pants then. It looks odd. And what are the big holes for? Saving cost on fabric?” Tobias

simply couldn’t accept her pauper-looking overalls.

His OCD seemed to be acting up again as he had the strong urge to sew the holes on Skylar’s overalls

shut.

Left without a choice, Skylar obediently found a pair of skinny jeans.

Tobias’ gaze fell on her as she emptied out the pockets.

All of them were small and disorganized items; a strawberry hairpin, an almost empty packet of tissue,

and earphone cords that were severely entangled.

One by one, she placed the things on the table.

Tobias shook his head at her. “Are all girls so sloppy?”

“Not really. Are you calling me sloppy?” Skylar asked.

Tobias withheld his answer, certain that he would only get into an argument with Skylar if he did not.

Even so, his silence was already an answer. He stood up and carefully untangled Skylar’s earphones. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Skylar felt slightly rueful for being bad at pretending to be something she was not.

Perhaps I should at least pretend to be elegant, considerate, and classy. But… I really could not care

less about my appearance.

Checking his watch, Tobias decided that it was time to leave with Skylar.

Sitting in his car, Skylar asked where they were going and why he was driving toward the county.

Noticing the wary and fearful look on Skylar’s face, Tobias’ smile deepened. “Do you think I’m going to

sell you off or something? Besides, even if I wanted to, No one from the village wants a skinny girl whose

shoulders and arms look like they can be snapped like twigs. They prefer meaty and fertile-looking girls.”

What Tobias said sounded awfully similar to what the village women said about her the other day.

Fine, being thin is all my fault.

Tobias had accepted Daryl’s dinner invitation tonight. He rarely participated in socializing events such as

these, and he only agreed out of courtesy to Daryl and also to make Skylar’s days with the crew easier.

Daryl arrived well before the appointed time, but without Tobias here, he did not dare to let the waiters

serve the food.

Kai grumbled silently at being forced by Daryl to attend.

He did not want to see Tobias and Skylar appearing together.

When the couple finally arrived, Daryl hastily stood up to welcome them.

If it were not for Tobias, Skylar would never have gotten the chance to see a well-known director such as

Daryl being so subservient.

“Mr. Ford, Skylar hasn’t signed with an agency, so why not sign with me?” Daryl poured Tobias a drink.

Tobias glanced at Skylar. “What do you think?”

This was quite a tempting offer to her. Pursing her lips, she replied, “I think it’s up for consideration.”

Skylar no longer wanted to be alone and running around like a headless chicken on the set.

“I will make Skylar famous within two years,” Daryl promised.

At that, Tobias’ gaze on her turned slightly chilly and he turned a deaf ear to her answer.

Meanwhile, Daryl had begun outlining Skylar’s future in an animated manner.

“She won’t sign,” Tobias flatly rejected.

Daryl’s excited chatter came to an abrupt halt.

While nursing his drink, Kai refuted unhappily, “Tobias, you’re being too controlling. This is Skylar’s own

business and it’s her decision to make. You do know that she’s not your plaything, right?”
