Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 176

“You’re leaving already? The sun isn’t even up yet.” Skylar lay on the bed, staring at Tobias as he put on

a black shirt and tucked in his trousers, all the while admiring his narrow hips and slender legs. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Yes, I’m leaving now. Remember, don’t sign with a company yet. I’ll tell you the details when you’re

back. Take care of yourself here.”

Tobias had a cigarette between his lips and squinted through the cloud of smoke that was obscuring his

vision.

Skylar hated it when people smoked in a room, especially when the windows were closed.

Tobias seemed to be aware of this as he opened the door a crack when he lit a cigarette.

Skylar got up from bed, intending to send him off.

When she snaked her slender arms around his neck, he turned sideways to stub out his cigarette before

kissing her with lips that tasted like a mixture of mint and tobacco.

“Behave while I’m not here. I will try my best to reply to your messages, but I can get really busy at times,

so you’ll have to bear with me.”

Skylar did not have any complaints since Tobias had patiently offered her an explanation. In the end,

they came to a mutual understanding.

As soon as Tobias left, Skylar packed up and prepared to head to the set. When her phone vibrated, she

fished it out and saw a message from Penelope.

Penelope: How things are going between you and that old man? Give me all the details!

Fortunately, Tobias had already left. Calling him an old man when he was only slightly over thirty was

rather harsh.

Skylar: Just the usual. It’s complicated.

Penelope: Mature and steady men are overrated. These kinds of men fool around the most. I got my

heart broken again. Come back soon and drink with me.

Skylar’s mouth twitched as she stared at the message. She seemed to recall Penelope saying the same

thing less than two months ago.

Somehow, she managed to fall in and out of love in just two months. Skylar admired Penelope’s fast-

paced love life. She seemed to change men faster than the seasons changed.

Skylar sent a few words of comfort to Penelope before hurrying out. She had just left when she bumped

into Kai.

He noticed the subtle marks on Skylar’s fair and elegant neck. Needless to say, he knew what Tobias

had done to her last night.

Awkwardness blanketed them.

“Where’s Tobias?”

“He left early in the morning. Were you looking for him?”

Kai smiled. “No. You should hurry to the set now. You have many scenes today, so there’s no time to

waste. Oh, right. I forgot to tell you. Jeremy has left the crew.”

Skylar was slightly taken aback. He was still with the crew the day before and didn’t finish filming his

scenes yet. How did he finish so quickly?

“He finished filming that quick?” she mumbled.

Kai still found Skylar too naive. How can she be with a cunning fox like Tobias? She wouldn’t even know

whether she was being taken advantage of.

“Because Tobias saw him, the producers requested for him to be switched out. I probably don’t need to

say the rest of it, do I?”

Skylar instantly understood what Kai meant; Tobias was the one who got Jeremy to leave.

Without mentioning anything about it to her, he eliminated Jeremy just like that.

A chill ran down Skylar’s spine. Tobias is too ruthless.

At the set, Katrina was the first to approach her, calling out in an overly friendly voice, even drawing out

the words, “Hey, babe!”

Skylar felt repulsed by this.

Since when were we that close?

She remained expressionless and did not bother putting up an act with her.

Katrina held back her anger even though she was given the cold shoulder. After Skylar walked away, she

turned to her manager, Lisa, and complained, “She’s just Tobias’ f**k buddy but look at her getting all

cocky. Does she think she’s better than us now?”

As there were many gossip mongers among the crew members, Lisa remained cautious and kept her

mouth shut for fear of her words reaching Skylar’s ears.

Pillow talk could be lethal, especially when Tobias was involved. Lisa was not as stupid as Katrina who

was the perfect definition of “just a pretty face.”

In the beginning, she had wanted to use the scandal with Tobias to create hype, but their plans were

foiled when the real deal arrived. In the end, Katrina did not even get the chance to talk to Tobias.
