Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 210

Skylar quickly defused the situation when she saw how offended Miranda was. "I was just kidding, Mom! Wait here while I go get you those ribs, okay?"

She decided to ask for directions to the cafeteria at the counter and overheard the nurses chatting excitedly.

"I heard Tobias' mom has just been admitted into our hospital today! We've got cardiologists from all over the world over here! Did you see the flowers outside the Cardiology Department? It's crazy!" "The lives of the wealthy are worth more, I guess... I bet the director is stressed out of his mind after accepting such a high-profile client!"

"My friends from the Cardiology Department told me how handsome Tobias is. I can't even imagine how many women he's slept with! It's such a shame that he's already got himself a fiancée, and a pregnant one at that!"

The two of them were so carried away with their conversation that they didn't even notice Skylar standing there.

The news hit her like a freight train and left her devastated.

So Tanya is still sticking to him like glue, huh... Tobias said he'd take care of things with her, but when? After Claudia's surgery?

After replaceing out the directions to the cafeteria, Skylar took the elevator to the first floor.

Ding! The sound of the elevator doors opening was followed by a deep male voice.

"Where are you going?" Skylar looked up and saw Tobias standing in front of her.

After a brief exchange of glances, Skylar quickly looked away as she explained, "My mom called for me. I wasn't following you or anything!" Considering how suspicious he is, I've got to explain myself clearly or he'll get the wrong idea and think I'm following him! Well, I guess I can't really blame him for being so paranoid. Given his position, he's probably dealt with all sorts of liars on a daily basis! The naïve young boy who would readily believe everything people tell him is long gone!

"Yeah, I know. I saw you hiding behind the pillar when I arrived earlier."

Skylar gasped. And here I thought I did a great job at hiding too!

"Why didn't you come to say hi to me, then? Was it inconvenient for you to do so?" she asked as she continued walking in front of him, the two of them not more than two feet apart.

Tobias didn't bother holding back and replied honestly, "It is indeed inconvenient at the moment. Don't worry, we'll have plenty more opportunities in the future to get you two properly introduced."

Oh, wow! Gee, thanks for assuming that I was trying to suck up to your mom, Tobias!

Tobias followed her all the way to the cafeteria where she bought honeyed pork ribs, BBQ ribs, and a Caesar salad.

Skylar didn't really know what Miranda's favorite food was. All she remembered was seeing her come home drunk as a skunk all the time when she was a kid. The memories of her mom laughing and crying on the floor like a madman still haunted her to this day.

Before Tobias was able to reach for his wallet, Skylar had already paid for the food using her phone.

I'd better learn to pay with my phone too, or she'll always beat me to the bill! I know she rarely uses the Black Card I gave her, so she's basically paying out of her own pocket. That stubborn girl...

That thought left him feeling uncomfortable as he believed men should pay for their women.

"Have you taken your lunch?" Tobias grabbed her by the wrist when he saw her hurrying off.

Her face is pale, her lips are cracked, and yet that hasn't stopped her pretty face from getting the attention of every guy in the cafeteria!
