In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 115

Tobias raised the armrest between him and Skylar so that the woman could lean on him.

Skylar continued to munch on popcorn while staring intently at the screen with her eyes filled with terror.

When the movie reached the most exciting part, both the imagery and the sound effects were at their climax as well.

Just then, Tobias’ phone rang. As he had forgotten to put his phone on silent mode, Skylar got such a huge shock that her heart had almost stopped beating.

“I need to take a call outside. Will you be OK on your own?”

Skylar shook her head and looked at Tobias with her big and watery eyes, appearing just like a damsel in distress.

“I’m quite scared. What should I do if the ghost suddenly crawls out of the screen?”

It was easy for one’s mind to run wild when watching a horror film. Skylar could already imagine a woman dressed in white sitting at Tobias’ seat and smiling at her with blood oozing out from her ears, eyes, mouth and nostrils.

In the end, Skylar did not succeed in keeping Tobias with her; he still left the theater to answer the call.

Shortly after, Sheldon appeared and sat down next to Skylar.

“My brother told me to keep you company for a while. He needs to pick up a call.”

Skylar turned around and took a glance behind. Tobias was rather ‘thoughtful’ to get Sheldon to accompany her. After all, Sheldon was also watching the movie with his girlfriend. It just didn’t seem appropriate for him to leave his female companion alone.

“He had already answered at least five calls when we were on our way here!” Skylar estimated.

Sheldon could tell that Skylar was complaining even though she herself might not be aware of it and explained, “My brother is a busy man. You can’t even imagine how busy he is. To get him to watch a movie with you is, in fact, even harder than striking lottery.”

Skylar felt that Sheldon was definitely exaggerating. She had spent the entire day with Tobias and apart from answering phone calls, he had not done anything else.

When Tobias returned to the theater after finishing his call, the movie had already ended.

Since they had already bumped into each other, Sheldon had to make use of the chance to get a free meal from Tobias and was waiting for him outside the theatre so that they could go for dinner together.
