Fell Into His Love Trap novel Chapter 370

Why don’t you treasure what I give you? Penelope had written feelingly in small, white text against a plain black background. She had evidently done so with the intention of soliciting comfort from her friends on social media.

Skylar pondered this for a while but ultimately scrolled away without reacting to it.

“We’ve been continuously working overtime lately because of your father’s company,” Eva intoned, breaking the hush in the office. She picked up the last document and added it to her neat stack, then strode over to Skylar.

Skylar turned to look at Eva, then said quietly, “Eva, what are you blaming me for? I don’t get a single cent from Quest Group, you know.”

Eva was dressed in a rather risqué, fitting blouse and mini-skirt. She’d left the top three buttons of her blouse undone, exposing a peek of the smooth white skin on her chest for all to see.

Skylar realized that Eva had a rather impressive figure, being treated as she was to a rather expansive view of Eva’s body through the plunging V-neck that the blouse now afforded.

So this is the view Tobias sees every day! Skylar mused.

Eva replied coldly, “You know very well what I’m talking about. You made such a scene during the family dinner. Everyone was so upset.”

Skylar reclined against the sofa and batted off a yawn. “Do you mean that you were upset, wondering how on earth I could have managed to snag Tobias? You don’t think I’m good enough for him, do you? Are you upset that I’m doing better than you?”

Skylar’s jeers had accurately pierced right to the heart of Eva’s disgruntlement.

The other woman snorted. “In real life, ugly ducklings don’t magically turn into swans. Tobias’ mother came over to the office today, and I overheard them talking about you.”

From the exultant look on Eva’s face, Skylar instantly perceived that it had not been a pleasant discussion.

She looked at Eva with distaste. “Keep whatever you heard to yourself. I’m not interested.”

Eva smiled slyly. “I suppose you know just as well as I do what transpired during that conversation. I have to say it was pretty generous of his mother, though, inviting you to dinner.”

Eva’s words struck Skylar like a bolt of lightning. Racking her brains furiously, Skylar struggled to remember if Tobias had raised this matter with her. Was it because there wasn’t time?
