In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 398

Anger thrummed in Skylar’s chest after listening to Tobias’ uninterested words.

She hissed, “Can’t you at least pretend to care? You could have asked if I was fine. Is that so hard to do?”

An exasperated sigh sounded from the other end of the call. “I’m busy, Baby. Besides, you wouldn’t be talking back so harshly if anything serious happened to you. Isn’t that right?”

Then Skylar hung up. She fumed at how Tobias wasn’t taking her seriously. Forget it. I’m not going to ask for his help anymore.

He’s clearly too busy to make time for me.

Meanwhile, Tobias sat behind his desk in a black suit. His expression turned grim as he looked at the phone in his hands. Why must the video call’s audio blast through the speakers? Couldn’t it just be subtle like a regular call?

Various executive members sat on the sofas around. A tense atmosphere permeated the air around them.

They represented different departments in the company and were giving detailed status reports to Tobias. It was halfway through this when Tobias’ phone rang. Then they sat uncomfortably as the woman on the phone threw a fit at Tobias.

That got them curious. Who’s this woman that is currently involved with Mr. Ford?

Eva, who took down the meeting notes with the other assistants, could tell that it was Skylar’s voice on the call.

Delight swelled in Eve’s chest. Tobias is way harsher to Skylar than I thought.

It looks like he no longer finds Skylar interesting.

“Let’s resume. We’ll adjourn this meeting after we complete the reports.” Tobias fastened the buttons on his suit and checked the time.

If I rush over to the filming site now, I’ll likely arrive by dawn. What’s the point of going on a hectic journey to see Skylar, who’s uninjured and perfectly fine?

I’m not the type to indulge in such romantic gestures.

After every executive member had completed their reports, Tobias dismissed the meeting. Everyone got up and left accordingly. They assumed that tonight’s meeting was simply routine work.

Shortly after, Tobias’ spacious office returned to its usual silence.
