In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 311

Tobias was good at reading people’s emotions. He felt that he had communicated his opinions clear enough to Skylar.

“Aren’t you going out today?” Skylar was curious to see him sipping tea on the sofa without any intention to leave.

The winter sun shone into the room through the window aperture, bringing with it a cozy touch. Yet, the warmth still could not melt his cold expression.

“Aren’t you always grumbling that I don’t spend enough time with you? So, I’m going to stay home, enjoy a cuppa, bask in the sun, and keep you company all day.”

Spending time at home like an old couple was not a lifestyle that Skylar was ready for.

Seeing that she had gotten dressed to head out, Tobias called out to her, “I’m staying in, but you’re going out? I’ve checked with your manager. You don’t have any work today, so you don’t need to be at the set. Are you avoiding me?”

Skylar doubted herself for a second. I’ve got an appointment with Kate at eleven today. Why is Tobias claiming otherwise?

Right when she was about to make a phone call to confirm her schedule, Tobias grabbed her wrist. “Your appointment today has been canceled at the very last minute because your manager fully understands that accompanying me is a better option—more practical than attending work events.”

So, he’s subtly saying that as long as I serve him well, I’ll be rewarded with a lot of resources that will benefit my career? Skylar cringed at his words but did not debate further with him.

She was walking a tightrope, anticipating the day her accumulated resentment would burst out like a popped balloon. She whined under her breath, “The story will surely develop differently when you dump me one day.”

Tobias did not hear what she said. Shrugging her shoulders with a smile on her face, Skylar pretended as if nothing happened.

Then, she removed her handbag and slumped on the sofa. Simpering, she asked, “What’s your plan for the day, Mr. Ford? You’re probably still tired from last night and don’t have the mood to go another round during the day, right?”

Indeed, Tobias seemed disinterested.
