Chapter 672 Untapped Talent
Skylar fell silent upon hearing Tobias' answer. Hmph. These two are still somehow attached at the hip. What a gentleman you are, Tobias, offering to send her home.
Tobias reached out and placed a hand on Skylar's lap. “It was just a chance meeting. It was late, so I couldn't possibly allow her to go back by herself. All I did was drop her off since it was along the way and I didn't go up either so there's no need to read any more into this.”
“Who knows whether it's coincidental or intentional on your part,” Skylar grumbled under her breath.
At that moment, Tobias thought this woman to be quite annoying, needing excessive explaining from him for what was obviously a very uncomplicated matter.
Skylar fished out her compact mirror and calmly touched up the color on her own lips amidst Tobias' steady driving.
“What were you and Thomas discussing earlier? What's with the big secrecy?” The lipstick was traced along the flawless contours of her lips until it left a thin coat of itself upon them.
Tobias answered that a little patronizingly, “It wasn't anything important. You'll find out about it eventually when the time is right.”
Skylar sighed softly as she found it a bit of a struggle to get any straight answers out of Tobias.
He was never one who was inclined to be open about anything, but luckily for her, she was not the type to be obsessed with uncovering all the facts either. Fortuitously too, for she would have found herself being stifled to death had it been otherwise.
“Next time, don't send other women home. I don't like it.” Skylar waited till the traffic light turned red before she drew her bottom line.
Tobias' reply was surprisingly succinct. “All right. I won't do that anymore. It's remarkably useful, those eyes of yours. Nothing seems to escape them.”
Skylar was taken aback. Is this still Tobias Ford that I'm talking to? In the past, if she were to suggest something along that lines, he would surely have deemed her unreasonable and incorrigible.
She remained unsure as to whether he was complimenting her or denigrating her. Her eyes were about as sharp as her nose was keen.
