When Tobias heard Susan’s suggestion, he recalled Skylar had little to no accessory to put on her hand.
On the other hand, Susan deemed the questions she had directed at Tobias foolish because he was always a
generous man.
Once she made her way out of the office, she reached for the pack of cigarettes in her pocket and started puffing
on it. It made her seemed exceptionally alluring in the middle of the night.
When Eva saw Susan, she put out her cigarette and approached Susan with a bright grin. “Susan, are you spending
the night working again? I guess you’re not the best for no reason, huh? Mr. Ford doesn’t require my help. In fact,
he told me to return home because he was afraid I would be exhausted.”

her in front of others. Thus, the staff, including the managers from different departments, were conscious of her
identity and would have to take her courteously.
Smirking, Susan said, “You’re so lucky! I’m so envious of you! I hope Mr. Ford isn’t going to forsake his loyal
subordinate who has been by his side for years!”
As a veteran in the corporate world, Susan had long gotten used to playing pretend in front of others in spite of
having a different thought in mind.
Nonetheless, she couldn’t get used to the presence of the pretentious Eva. Susan was determined to stop Eva from
being promoted as long as she was still around. As Tobias’ most reliable assistant, she was certain it would be
nothing more than a piece of cake.
After one last puff, the sexy woman announced with her chest held high, “Congratulations! Your cousin is having a
great time with him as well! In fact, Mr. Ford seems to be serious about their relationship. He has just instructed me
to get Ms. Jones a diamond ring that’s at least ten-carat.”
Eva snorted and asked, “What does that have to do with me? It’s not like he’s going to purchase me one!”
“Are you sure that has nothing to do with you? Don’t you think she’s the reason behind your success? You need to
keep in touch with that cousin of yours if you wish to soar in your career.”
A ten-carat diamond ring? That’s going to cost at least ten million! She couldn’t even afford a new set of clothes
back in the day! The only ones she had belonged to me in the first place!
Sharon stopped giving used belongings to Skylar because she mentioned it would bring misfortune to the family.
Hence, Skylar had to put on an oversized uniform over the years and patched it up whenever it was torn.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI can’t believe that peasant is doing better in life as compared to me! Does she think she deserves a ten-carat
diamond ring just because Tobias has a thing for her? No way!
She scowled and announced, “My cousin was never a fan of fancy jewelry of that sort. I’m afraid it’s going to be
another futile effort of Mr. Ford again.”
When Susan heard Eva, she frowned and wondered if the pretentious woman had been lying again. Nonetheless, if
that was the case, she would have to bear the consequences since she was the one who had brought up the
suggestion.
After much considerations, she decided to discuss her next best course of action with Tobias to determine the
perfect gift. Although she was unconscious of the event associated, she was certain it wasn’t a wedding anniversary
as she deemed the man overly self-centered to get married.
