In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 176

“You’re leaving already? The sun isn’t even up yet.” Skylar lay on the bed, staring at Tobias as he put on a black shirt and tucked in his trousers, all the while admiring his narrow hips and slender legs.

“Yes, I’m leaving now. Remember, don’t sign with a company yet. I’ll tell you the details when you’re back. Take care of yourself here.”

Tobias had a cigarette between his lips and squinted through the cloud of smoke that was obscuring his vision.

Skylar hated it when people smoked in a room, especially when the windows were closed.

Tobias seemed to be aware of this as he opened the door a crack when he lit a cigarette.

Skylar got up from bed, intending to send him off.

When she snaked her slender arms around his neck, he turned sideways to stub out his cigarette before kissing her with lips that tasted like a mixture of mint and tobacco.

“Behave while I’m not here. I will try my best to reply to your messages, but I can get really busy at times, so you’ll have to bear with me.”

Skylar did not have any complaints since Tobias had patiently offered her an explanation. In the end, they came to a mutual understanding.

As soon as Tobias left, Skylar packed up and prepared to head to the set. When her phone vibrated, she fished it out and saw a message from Penelope.

Penelope: How things are going between you and that old man? Give me all the details!

Fortunately, Tobias had already left. Calling him an old man when he was only slightly over thirty was rather harsh.

Skylar: Just the usual. It’s complicated.

Penelope: Mature and steady men are overrated. These kinds of men fool around the most. I got my heart broken again. Come back soon and drink with me.

Skylar’s mouth twitched as she stared at the message. She seemed to recall Penelope saying the same thing less than two months ago.

Somehow, she managed to fall in and out of love in just two months. Skylar admired Penelope’s fast-paced love life. She seemed to change men faster than the seasons changed.

Skylar sent a few words of comfort to Penelope before hurrying out. She had just left when she bumped into Kai.

He noticed the subtle marks on Skylar’s fair and elegant neck. Needless to say, he knew what Tobias had done to her last night.
