In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 369

“Tobias, Skylar isn’t as innocent as you think. She’s a malicious person! She’s going all out to achieve fame right now regardless of what it takes, even if it means trampling all over everyone else. Everything I said in the office was true,” Winnie insisted brokenly.

Whether out of sheer defiance or stupidity, Winnie stood her ground. Tobias eyed her as he lit a cigarette and spewed out a mouthful of smoke, sneering, “Don’t call me Tobias. We’re not related, and neither are we on intimate terms with each other. Who said I liked innocent women? They always end up being quite foolish like you.”

Winnie cringed when she remembered that Sheldon was still on the other end of the line, hanging onto every word.

Tobias headed downstairs to wait for Skylar, who had excitedly told him earlier that day that she would be in the studio recording her new single, Demon.

Tobias had never heard Skylar sing. He thought she should focus on honing her acting skills rather than embarking on a whole other endeavor entirely, but he didn’t have the heart to say so.

After all, as the saying went, a jack of all trades was very often a master of none.

Skylar’s emerged breezily from the office, carrying only a thermos flask in one hand.

Tobias drew another long puff of his cigarette. Ash drifted onto his pants, which he dusted leisurely off.

Watching Tobias from afar, Skylar paused to admire the fine silhouette his handsome profile cut against the night sky.

When the man turned to look in her direction, she hurried over, waving wildly to him. “Are you here to fetch me home?” Skylar asked, her eyes shining.

Tobias, however, had urgent matters to attend to at the office. Since he had promised to spend the day with Skylar regardless, he had no choice but to bring her to the office with him.

Even though it was nearly midnight, the fluorescent office lights in the Ford Group building were still ablaze. Skylar groaned inwardly. Don’t these people have anything better to do than to work? I’d rather be sleeping! She recalled reading somewhere that working long hours and not getting sleep increased one’s risk of getting a stroke.

Skylar had long bemoaned the amount of time she dedicated to her work. The employees at Ford Group, however, were on a whole different level of commitment.
