Tobias leaned forward to sniff at Skylar’s shoulder. “I can still smell another man’s scent on you. Take a
bath and wash it off. It’s making me uncomfortable.”
“That’s my job. It’s not like I went out and messed around with other men,” she emphasized.
Still, Tobias wasn’t pleased. His gaze darkened as he said, “That’s the most I can tolerate. You’re not
allowed to act in any kissing scene. Don’t you kiss me if you have kissed someone else.”
Glancing at Tobias’ awkward expression, Skylar giggled. “You’re much worse than me. I don’t know
how many women you’ve kissed in the past. Make sure that you’re faithful yourself before asking me to
do the same.”
Tobias couldn’t find the words to refute her. She’s right, but now I’m not the same womanizer whom I

Afterward, the man went to his study. Skylar was having the time of the month, so he could do nothing
other than leering at her.
Skylar pushed the door of the study open. The woman had taken a bath and changed into her white
silk sling nightdress, revealing her fair and slender legs. Her hair was still damp, and her cheeks were
rosy. Despite having no makeup on, her alabaster skin still appeared translucent from within.
She walked in with a plate of sliced orange and put it on his desk.
Tobias took off his glasses, which he put on only when he was working, and rubbed the bridge of his
nose. “Wow, that’s very kind of you to bring me fruits. Are you trying to make amends to me?”
Up till now, Skylar never felt that she had done anything wrong. This man is unbelievably petty. I was
only doing my job. Besides, it was nothing more than just hugging. It’s understandable that he gets
worked up if I have done the scene naked. Even so, I’m only doing it for the sake of art.
She fed a piece of orange to Tobias. “The oranges in the fridge are about to dry up soon. It’ll be such a
waste to throw them away.”
Though the orange wasn’t as juicy as usual, the man did not mind at all.
“Is Eva your cousin?” Tobias thought of this all of a sudden. What a small world.
Skylar raised a brow at him. “Yeah. Didn’t you know that? Your pretty assistant is my cousin.”
She already knew it. Tobias gestured for Skylar to sit on his lap, and the latter hooked her arms around
his neck. Looking up, she touched his chin with her forehead.
“Are you both not on good terms?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSkylar chuckled. “How do you know that? We’re not that close. Eva has always been the pride of the
family because of her beauty and good academic results. Her boyfriend’s family is well-off, and she’s
going to marry him soon. All our relatives are fond of her as well.”
That was all she said about Eva.
Tobias sneered, “How well-off is her boyfriend’s family is? Is there anyone wealthier than your man?”
Skylar was tongue-tied. As a matter of fact, Tobias isn’t being overconfident to say that. Undeniably,
he’s influential and filthy rich. If I ever break up with him, I’ll never be able to find another man who is
better than him. Besides, it’s unlikely that anyone can surpass him.
Tobias recalled the way Eva talked about Skylar with a disdainful look.
Judging from Eva’s words, she obviously despises Skylar. Perhaps it’s a norm that the average
people are to complement the outstanding ones, and Skylar is definitely the former.
“How do you know she’s my cousin? Did she tell you that?” Skylar asked.
