In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 338

Sharon really pulled out all the stops when it came to the dinner fare. With a glass in hand, Skylar quietly ate at her seat next to Miranda.

“What’s next for you, Skylar? Are you seeing Harry right now?” Eva asked.

Skylar smiled. “Not much. I’m leaving everything to the agency, and just going with the flow.”

Eva sneered, “Aren’t you going to think about your own future? You’ve quite a lot of people online getting on your case right now.”

“Really? I recall receiving quite a lot of praise as well.”

Eva mumbled under her breath, “Unambitious good-for-nothing. Some things just never change.”

Then, Elaine butted in, “I’d say, Skylar, you should be looking for a boyfriend as you aren’t getting younger. You’d do well to temper your expectations, and just find someone who treats you good.”

Miranda slammed down her cutlery and glanced over to Elaine, “Whoever said that Skylar doesn’t have a boyfriend? Haven’t I mentioned before that she’s dating Eva’s boss, Tobias Ford?”

That had Eva scoffing, “How could I not know whether my boss is seeing anyone when I’m at his side all the time? I bet Skylar must be bluffing, Aunt Miranda. It’s not as though she’ll automatically be able to snag someone like Mr. Ford just because she’s some small-time celebrity.”

Skylar had enough of Eva’s constant heckling which showed no signs of letting up even during dinner on Christmas Eve. “What am I to do should I snag him by accident, I wonder.”

No one else believed her, save for Wesley and Sharon who had met Tobias before.

With a sly smile, Eva fished out her own cellphone. “I’ve my boss’ private number right here and am about to call him to exchange festive greetings. How would you like to say a few words to him, Skylar? It should be pretty normal to chat with your own boyfriend, no?”

Skylar shrugged nonchalantly. She reckoned that Eva must be thinking that she would only be fitting for someone like Jeremy.

Eva boldly dialed Tobias’ number in full view of all the relatives present and went on to switch her phone to hands-free.

The phone rang for a protracted period before someone picked up.
