In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 110

Standing amidst the plethora of luxury goods, Skylar felt like a fish out of water, fully aware of how underdressed she was at the moment.

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from the distance. “Skylar? Oh wow, it’s really you.”

Her heart practically stopped when she saw who the voice belonged to. “Hey, you there? Did you forget me? I’m Erica.” The lady waved, plastering a seemingly cordial smile on her face.

Of course I remember you, Erica Fox. Skylar’s face instantly darkened as a wave of unpleasant memories came flooding back.

Erica was Skylar’s high school classmate. But far from being chummy buddies, Skylar avoided Erica like the plague. Her disdain for the girl was simple – Erica was an egocentric school bully who thought that she could do anything she wanted just because she had a rich boyfriend and a pretty face.

If any girl offended her, she swore to make life hellish for the person. Unfortunately, Skylar happened to be one of those girls.

The incident began when Skylar was rushing for class, only to bump into Erica by accident. Consequently, the latter girl’s coffee spilled everywhere. “Jeez. Do you have no eyes? Clean this mess up, now! With your mouth, that is.” The steadfast Skylar refused to submit to the threat.

A fight thus ensued, and the result was a two-month hospitalization bill for the outnumbered Skylar. Erica had her gang with her, while the poor victim had no one.

Her grandmother confronted the school management, hoping to get some form of justice for the piteous grandchild. Unfortunately, they merely turned a blind eye to the issue. That was when Skylar decided once and for all that she was going to work hard and be successful in the future, so that she did not have to suffer from such indignance anymore.

“No reply. Tsk. Rude as ever.” Erica’s annoyance brought Skylar back to reality.

The lady grimaced internally. Of all people I can meet… Why must it be her? Skylar had absolutely no intention to greet her ex-classmate.

As she was unable to elicit any reaction from Skylar, Erica turned to her boyfriend instead. Skylar recognized the man to be the same boyfriend Erica was dating since high school. “This is Skylar Jones. We were high school classmates, and she went to the Southwood Film Academy after we graduated.” Then, with a scoff, she continued, “Don’t you think that’s hilarious? Someone with no money or background trying to make it big in the entertainment industry, daydreaming about buying a Hermès… I really pity her grandmother. It’s not easy for her to raise such a foolish grandchild.”

Yup, this person hasn’t changed a single bit. Skylar began plotting a thousand ways to leave this conversation, but Erica’s boyfriend gave a response that stopped her.
