Tobias ended the meeting ahead of time, sweeping his cold gaze across everyone as he signaled for them to leave.
When they left, they made sure to smile and nod at Skylar, not missing the chance to get acquainted with her.
As soon as they disentangled themselves from the somber atmosphere in the office, they began discussing animatedly among themselves.
“No wonder Skylar Jones became so popular lately. It’s because she’s Mr. Ford’s woman.”
“I can’t believe Mr. Ford would get together with an actress, but I have to admit, Skylar is absolutely gorgeous. Mr. Ford is a red-blooded man, after all, so I can’t say I blame him.”
As they were talking quite close to the door, Skylar, who stood on the other side of it, could hear bits and pieces of their conversation. Upon hearing this, she felt her ears burn up.
Tobias glanced fleetingly at Penelope before asking in a bland voice, “Why did you bring your friend here? With such a big belly, she should be resting at home instead. What if her water breaks? I doubt any of us would know how to deliver a baby.”
“I’m here to ask for your help, Mr. Ford,” Penelope answered before Skylar could, the resolve in her voice a stark contrast to her haggard appearance.
After Penelope stated her purpose for coming here, she seemed to be slightly out of breath, probably because pregnant women were slightly hypoxic during their last trimester.
