Despite having a smile on his face, Tobias had no intention of interacting with Miranda.
Miranda remained all pumped up. “Tobias! I haven’t seen you in quite a while. How have you been? How’s your work? Has Skylar been good to you?”
Skylar felt so embarrassed. “All right, dinner’s over. I’ll get someone to send you home now.”
Miranda instantly shot daggers at her. Is she trying to chase me away? I’m just trying to help her improve her relationship with Tobias!
Tobias kept his reply short. “Everything’s fine. I have to go upstairs and reply to an urgent email now. Catch up with you soon.”
Skylar understood why Tobias wanted to stay away from Miranda. I bet he must have had enough of her rambling.
Not only that, Miranda would indirectly force Tobias to make promises that would benefit her.
It was clear that Miranda wanted to cling on to her wealthy son-in-law for the rest of her life.
Miranda gave Skylar a disdainful look upon seeing how aloof Tobias was. “How disrespectful. It’s all your fault.”
Skylar pointed at herself and did not know how to react to that remark. “My fault? What has his attitude got to do with me?”
Miranda sighed and frowned. “Can’t you see how annoyed he was? He’s annoyed because he’s sick of you, and that’s why he vented his frustration on me. You have to work harder to make him happy. What if he dumps you?”
“I’ll not break up with her. Don’t worry.” All of a sudden, Tobias’ voice came from the back.
He overheard their conversation when he was coming downstairs to retrieve his phone.
