In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 11

Therefore, Skylar had decided to wait for Tobias to come to her first so that she could get him to attest to the check.

However, it had been another week since she last heard from him.

She had to get back the money. In order to save Jeremy’s life, she had almost risked hers instead.

Hence, she couldn’t accept the outcome. She would rather donate that money than let the Lanes take advantage of it.

Meanwhile, Summer was applying a sheet mask on the couch in the living room when Skylar reached home.

“You look like a ghost. Are you still thinking about Tobias Ford?” Summer glanced up at Skylar through her sheet mask. “If you are, you’d better stop having your head in the clouds.”

Skylar put on a pair of slippers and took out the instant noodles from her bag. She had bought it from the convenience store downstairs earlier.

Given her current financial situation, she couldn’t even afford to eat a proper meal now.

“Do you get to meet Tobias on usual days?” Skylar asked in an attempt to fish for information from her housemate.

Summer uttered a snorting laugh. “There are thousands of employees in the building. Do you think it’s that easy to meet the boss?”

Slurping on her noodles, Skylar almost choked on her food when she heard what Summer said.

Is that what he meant by a little bit of money? If Summer can’t even see him, I doubt I can even step foot into the building.

“Just look at yourself before you even try to meet Tobias Ford,” Summer said straightforwardly. “The landlady is chasing for rent again. You’re gonna have to pack up and leave if you can’t pay on time.”

Skylar chose to ignore this. Having been driven into a corner, she could only try her luck tomorrow.

The next day, Skylar took the bus to the central business district.

Standing before the towering Ford Group building, she felt insignificant and as small as an ant. It was even more so when she saw how the employees were elegantly and sophisticatedly dressed, be it men or women.

And that made Skylar wonder.

Why would Tobias behave as such when there are so many pretty ladies in his company?

Skylar was deep in thoughts when a car suddenly screeched to a halt. It startled her, making her lost her balance and then falling on the flower bed by the road.
