The sound of a phone vibrating echoed against the walls of the room, making it louder than it should be.
Noticing that it was a call from Kate, Tobias picked up the call and sneaked out of the room.
“Apologies for calling at this hour, Mr. Ford. Did I disturb your sleep?” Kate asked.
Tobias lit a cigarette and gazed at the smoke. “Why are you calling me at this hour in the first place?”
“I wasn’t free earlier on,” Kate relied.
“That doesn’t mean I have to follow your schedule. We don’t have anything to talk about anyway,” Tobias said coldly.
Kate fell silent for a few seconds before speaking again. “Can we meet tomorrow morning at eight-thirty, Mr. Ford? Shall I go to Royal Entertainment or Ford Group?”
“Royal Entertainment,” Tobias answered.
Tobias had told Skylar to report at Royal Entertainment in the afternoon, and hence she was still sleeping when he left the house.
Before he left, he took out a bottle of water from the fridge to get back at her for serving him water for dinner the previous night.
By the time he arrived at Royal Entertainment, he was already an hour late.
Kate watched as Tobias sat down in front of her and grinned. “Looks like your attitude is the answer, Mr. Ford. You can’t even be punctual for our meeting!”
“We have nothing to talk about,” Tobias repeated.
“Skylar’s doing heaps of advertisements with very low reward lately, but I believe she is worth much more than that. I wouldn’t have asked to meet you if you have already severed ties with her,” Kate said.
