Skylar asked, “My uncle was fired from the factory and can’t find a job now. Is this your doing?”

Tobias was silent for a while before changing the subject. “It’s rare for me to leave the company so early. You must be hungry. Come, I’ll take you to dinner! What do you feel like eating? Or do you wanna buy something back to cook?”

Skylar did not prod further. What can I do even after getting the answer? Accuse Tobias of being too ruthless in his punishment?

“Let’s eat at home. I’ll cook for you. What do you feel like eating…” Skylar looked at the time and found that it was almost six.
