In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 406

Tobias frowned slightly. “If you want my help, you’ll have to give me something equal in exchange.”

Like a cat that had gotten her tail stepped on, Skylar’s hackles rose and she immediately put her arms akimbo. “Well, if you insist. You can hit me or strangle me tonight. Just do as you wish.”

Skylar acted like she was ready to face a death sentence, and Tobias found it rather comical.

The amusement gleaming in his eyes became more pronounced as he replied, “How could I bear to hit you or strangle you? At most, I’ll slap your a** a couple of times.”

…

Meanwhile, Penelope stood alone in the office. After looking around for a while, her gaze fell on a name card on Tobias’ desk.

Picking it up, she saw that printed on it was the name “Lina Queen”, along with her phone number.

Penelope placed it back on the desk with a look of disdain. Even masseurs have name cards now, huh?

The last time she saw Lina was during the afternoon tea session. After that, they did not contact each other anymore.

She wasn’t even familiar with Lina in the first place and only agreed for Skylar’s sake.

Why does Tobias even have her name card? Don’t tell me he visited her for a massage again?

Just when she positioned the card back to its original spot, an unpleasant voice asserted from behind, “Not just anyone is allowed to touch Mr. Ford’s things.”

Penelope jolted in shock and her hand flew to her chest as her heart pounded against her ribcage. Spinning around on her heels, she realized that it was Skylar’s cousin, Eva.

Penelope and Skylar had been friends for a very long time. Hence, she knew that the latter and her cousin had never been on good terms.

Eva would never miss the chance to gloat in front of Skylar, always seizing the high ground

Although Penelope had put on weight during her pregnancy, Eva recognized her at first glance. Right then, the former was holding her protruding belly with one hand on her hip.
