Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 18

Of all the benefits that she could enjoy, what caught her attention the most was that the employer would

pay for the employee’s tuition and living expenses for four years of college. A breach of contract would

require the employee to compensate the employer with thirty million for emotional distress.

“If there’s no problem with it, you can sign on the contract now,” Tobias piped up and took out a pen.

Instead of signing, Skylar put down the contract. “What a psycho. Why do I have to sign this contract? I’d

rather work as a garbage collector than sign this crap.”

“I suppose no one would dare to recycle the garbage you’ve collected,” Tobias said composedly, knowing

that she would reject him.

And they said a woman’s heart is vicious. Men can be as vicious as well once they set their minds on

something.

Nonetheless, Tobias was not in a hurry for her to sign the contract. Thus, he leisurely got up to his feet

and went over to the counter to get a coffee. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

At the same time, Skylar thought about the contract long and hard.

She was aware of her situation now—penniless and homeless, like a stray.

If she were to disagree, given the man’s stubbornness, she wouldn’t know how she would be threatened

by him again.

There was no escape this time.

Without much choice, Skylar picked up the pen and scribbled her signature on the contract.

She had thought that would be it. But to her surprise, Tobias picked up the contract and tore it to

shreds in front of her eyes when he came back.

“I’ll print a new one for you. Your handwriting is too ugly. You even got your name wrong.”

Skylar’s little game was ruthlessly exposed.

At this moment, Tobias’ phone rang. “I gotta go,” he said after answering the call.

“Is your fiancée checking in on you?” Skylar mocked. “Are you trying to make me a homewrecker?”

That seemed to take Tobias by surprise as he didn’t expect Skylar to be so well-informed about Tanya.

“It’s a little complicated, but you’re not a homewrecker as long as I’m still single,” Tobias said.

How she wished for Tanya to discover her sooner so that she could end things with him.

No sooner had Tobias left than she was picked up by someone to a luxurious villa at International

Garden.

The villa was lavishly renovated, which was pretty much expected since it was located at International

Garden.

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Jones,” a female housekeeper greeted, then ushered her to the second floor.

“This will be your room from now on, Ms. Jones. Just call me anytime if you need anything.”

As compared to being homeless, Skylar was grateful enough to have a roof above her head.

She opened her suitcase that contained only a few seasonal clothes and toiletries.

This was all she had. She simply tidied up a little and hung the clothes in the closet.

Skylar heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the empty closet, reckoning that Tobias probably wouldn’t

be living with her.

Feeling lonely and desolated, she switched on the TV to have the sound accompanying her.

Since Meredith had passed away, she would usually switch on the TV when she was alone. Though

most of the time, she wasn’t aware of the contents of the programs.

She had only wanted to listen to the sound, as though someone was talking into her ears and would

usually drift off to sleep with the TV still on.

“May we have Thomas Jones to the stage for the ribbon-cutting ceremony?”

Skylar’s heart thumped when she heard Thomas’ name from the TV. The last time she had met him was

when she was still in middle school.

That was when Meredith had told her to reach out to him when she couldn’t afford her school fees for

high school.

With the memory fresh in her mind, Skylar still remembered that it was pouring that day.
