Once Tobias ensured his car was locked, he heard someone behind him. He put his keys aside and saw Idania the
moment he turned around in the parking lot.
“Why are you here when it’s getting late?”
Idania handed over the presentation slides she had printed to Tobias and said, “I want to show you the amended
proposal! When I was on my way back, I thought of some aspects to be improved!”
Tobias found Idania the stubborn woman he used to know. The duo had many things in common, including their
capabilities and the preference to have the issues on their ends to be resolved as soon as possible.
He took over the folder and said, “I’ll revert to you once I finish perusing the proposal. The manager from the
financial department will take over from now onwards. I’m not supposed to intervene with this in the first place.
You’re well aware of the things I’m talking about, aren’t you?”

in the afternoon.
Actually, she had been talking most of the time, and occasionally, he would direct a few questions at her.
Idania was conscious Tobias wasn’t interested in the AI pharmaceutical project she had in mind. As a matter of fact,
she could barely answer the questions directed at her.
Pursing her lips in an awkward manner, she asked, “Are you on your way back, or have you just arrived?”
He asked in return, “Aren’t you aware when you have been waiting for me here?”
Idania’s face turned pale. She queried in a final attempt to stir things up, “Isn’t your girlfriend against the idea of
you spending the night working? No woman enjoys being neglected.”
“I guess she does, but I can’t be certain. Actually, I need to go because I’m in a hurry. I’ll get someone to follow up
with the project.”
She was about to say something to stop him, but he had fled the scene before she could say anything.
Staring at the man’s departing figure, she wondered if they would still be in a relationship if she had made a
different decision back in the day.
The moment Tobias entered his office, Eva stopped him with a dejected look and requested, “Mr. Ford, can you
please do me a favor? I don’t mind having my wages deducted for the sum required for a refund, but please keep
my thrifty parents in the dark. My brother has always been obedient. I’m not sure what has gotten into his mind.
Although it sounds like an absurd request-”
It was way past her working hours, but she had stayed behind to stop Tobias.
Tobias was stupefied because Skylar and Eva had approached him over a trivial issue. It’s merely a few hundred
thousand, isn’t it? Are they afraid I’m going to go embezzle the fund when the company has a monthly revenue
worthy of billions?

He said, “That won’t be necessary because Skylar has approached me for the exact same issue. I have gotten in
touch with those from the relevant department and instructed them to deal with it.”
Eva was slightly taken aback by his reply as she found it unbelievable. Her parents told her when they approached
Skylar for help, she had turned them down without a second thought and said it had nothing to do with her. Thus,
Eva deemed Skylar a selfish woman.
As a result, Eva thought it was Tobias’ attempt to do Skylar a favor and deemed herself creditable for approaching
him to resolve the issue on her family’s behalf.
When Tobias caught a glimpse of the lavish-looking bracelet on Eva’s wrist, he thought it was something beyond her
reach should it be an authentic one.
In spite of the thought he had in mind, he complimented, “That’s quite a nice bracelet you have over there.”
As soon as she heard him, she tried to conceal the bracelet with her sleeves. She was afraid he would deem her a
promiscuous woman if he found out it was a gift from Brayden. After all, Brayden was a man with a family.
