In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 124

Penelope gaped at Tobias in amazement as he took a seat beside Skylar.

Dumbfounded, she stared at him with her brows furrowed and uttered, “Are you trying to hit on her?”

From her voice, Tobias could tell that she was the one who gave him an earful on the phone just now. What a brazen young lady.

“We’re very familiar with each other, so there’s no need for that.”

Skylar and Tobias were seated so close together that the aroma of his signature white sandalwood cologne was all that permeated her nostrils, and she could even hear his breathing. Their proximity made her so nervous that sweat trickled down her palms.

The admiration in Penelope’s gaze vanished when she recognized Tobias’s voice. Her attitude toward him took a drastic change as she began to chide him, “The person who called Skylar earlier on was you, right? No wonder she was fooled by you. Look at you sauntering around toying with women’s feelings by leveraging your good looks. Despicable.”

Skylar hurriedly interrupted her, “Penelope, please stop talking. Let’s leave.”

She was fearful that Penelope’s brashness would infuriate Tobias.

Unperturbed by her sudden lecture, Tobias remained expressionless as he spoke, “Please make yourself clear. How am I toying with women’s feelings?”

Penelope scoffed, “You still won’t admit it? Skylar’s only twenty, and yet you were so eager to take advantage of her. You must be several years older than her. Please, do yourself a favor and avoid harassing the young maidens of our country. Shame on you for robbing the cradle.”

Tobias pressed his lips into a thin line. Being labeled as someone who robbed the cradle irked him. It was a grave insult to his character.
