The next day, Skylar was still on leave, so she went to Wesley’s house to look for Miranda. Just when

she arrived at his house, she saw Eva who was on her way out to work. What a lucky day!

Eva had only started working for a short time, yet she had already got herself a new Audi Q3. The

neighbors had been praising her for her outstanding achievement as a CEO’s assistant.

Skylar tried to walk past her, but Eva stretched her arm and stopped her. “You’re early. I guess you

haven’t had your breakfast, have you? Well, we don’t have extra utensils for strangers though.”

Skylar gave her a side-eye. “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in your dishes. Shouldn’t you in a hurry?

You’re running late. Your boss will arrive at the company sooner than you.”

Tobias had departed to the company early in the morning. Sometimes, Skylar thought he was pushing

himself too hard. There would never be enough time for him to deal with the endless work.

Eva curled her lips upward with a flint of glee in her eyes. “My boss is lenient with me. He won’t say a

word even if I don’t clock in. Just mind your own business.”

Eva looked at Skylar arrogantly, as if she was a queen. Eva had been receiving special treatment since

she was young. She was the apple of everyone’s eye. Moreover, she was selected as the monitor from

primary school to high school. Not only that, she was the president of the student council in the

university. Anyone would’ve been proud to have her achievements.

However, Skylar was skeptical about what Eva said. Tobias and Susan never bothered about little

things other than the company’s benefits. Eva was just an assistant. Even though they knew she was

Skylar’s cousin, that made no difference. Besides, Tobias knew she and Eva were not on good terms.

Holding the thought in her mind, Skylar unwittingly sized Eva up. Eva couldn’t care less about it.

Instead, she held her chin up and sneered.

Skylar took a look at her watch. It was nine-thirty sharp. Eva was late and nothing could change that.

After Skylar stepped into the building, she reported to Tobias that his employee was late to work.

Although she didn’t work for Ford Group, she knew that it had a well-established corporate culture.

Tobias was very particular about punctuality, so his subordinates had to do the same. If the employee

was late to work, one-third of the salary would be deducted with no exemptions.

Eva is taking advantage of the flexibility of her working schedule. An assistant’s working schedule was

usually flexible as the assistant had to make adjustments according to the needs of the higher-ups.

Therefore, clocking in was not compulsory and that was why Eva could be impudent and take her own

sweet time.

When Skylar walked in, Miranda was having porridge at the dining table. It was a round old wooden

table that looked vintage. Meanwhile, Miranda was eating from a cheap porcelain bowl. Despite that,

she looked elegant like a rich classy wife.

Skylar felt relieved when she realized that only Miranda was home. It would make things easier.

If Wesley and Sharon were home, they would probably eavesdrop on her conversation with Miranda

and make a drama out of it.

“Come and have some porridge.” Instead of giving Skylar a warm welcome, Miranda just raised her

finger and pointed at the kitchen. Skylar would have to get the porridge herself if she wanted to have

some.

Skylar took a seat on the sofa and stared at Miranda. “What happened between you and Thomas

Jones? What did you mean when you said ‘living together happily as a family’? I didn’t ask further

because Tobias was there.”

Skylar didn’t want Tobias to know too much about her family dispute. She stayed awake throughout the

night because she was afraid of having a nightmare. Three of them living together as a family and

being pretentious to one another would be the worst nightmare that she could ever imagine.

“Well, believe your eyes and ears. We’re going to marry each other again. I’m thinking if we should hold

a wedding.”
