Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 801 Living Off Her

A peaceful and uneventful night went by. It was as if a demarcation line separated them, as not a single act of intimacy was initiated. They were deadbeat and had no energy left to engage in nightly exertions.

Skylar’s phone received a text message from Kate early in the morning informing her to prepare for the second round of screen tests. The director's team had more or less chosen her as the female lead as long as there wasn't a need to change actresses at the eleventh hour.

Skylar casually tossed her phone onto the side of the pillow, and Tobias placed his hand on it. His eyes were closed as he uttered, “Your mom came looking for you last night. Since you weren't around, she went back. I forgot to tell you about it last night.

Tobias rarely forgot anything due to his outstanding memory unless he deemed them unimportant. Skylar sat on the end of the bed and leaned half of her body weight on Tobias’ thighs.

“It can't be anything good. She'll keep me on a tight leash once I begin shooting and get paid. What is wrang with her? She treats me like an ATM, so much that I can never save enough money no matter how hard I work. I think it's high time I get my fortune told with all the bad luck I keep attracting.

She couldn't help convincing Tobias to bring her to Thymion early in the morning. It was an opportunity to gauge whether her company was on the right track and her compatibility with Tobias. Tobias was not opposed to the idea. He'd had Skylar’s fortune told before, which was revealed to be rather ordinary.

He didn't ask the fortune-teller to delve in-depth as one’s destiny was not set in stone and could still be altered. Skylar would overthink and end up in a depressive state if the results of the fortune-telling were unfavorable while she was going through a rough patch in her life.

Tobias refused to respond to Skylar, who eventually took off after being ignored.

Skylar woke up the following morning to Royal Entertainment's official social media Instagram account announcing her as the new ambassador for Royale Entertainment City.

She was befuddled and doubted whether the company had made a mistake as it was supposed to be Saorise.

Skylar roused-[obias, who was still asleep urgently. “Since when did I become Royale Entertainment City's brand arabassador? How could you not tele about it? Everyone inthe company believes that Saorise is the one; Did you decide it for yourself, or Was it the company’s?

Tobias placed his hand on Skylar's abdomen. His voice was deep and hoarse from Having just woken up. “It's the result that matters, Baby. I think yourfit-the role perfectly. = >> Royale Entertainment City made the right choice by picking you as. tts brand'ambassador. Why should I givé the role to an outsider tike Sdorise? Besides, you can use the money you earned from the ambassadorship to support me. Have you forgotten saying you'd give me a chance to live off you in the future?”

Skylar dispelled his delusions. “I can't afford taat. You're too high maintenance. The pay I get from filming ist even enough to buy any of your.watches. Why do people Still wear them anyway when they tan check the time on their phones? They could spend money-@n more meaningful alternatives ifistead of pricey watches.”

Tobias was reminded that he hadn't removed his watch before falling asleep last night as he was too wrung out and didn't even shower.

He placed his watch on the bedside table. “I'll do as you say and stop wearing watches, happy? Why are you up so early? Aren't you going to get some more sleep? I need more rest and will stay in all day to keep you company.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Tobias’ poor stamina was not something new to Skylar.

He was still lying on the bed when Skylar was done putting on makeup and styling her hair. His dark eyes narrowed as she began taking selfies while sitting on the head of the bed.

Tobias instinctively scooted further away from her lest he appears in the shot.
