In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 407

Later on, Penelope was sent away by a few words from Tobias as he was lazy to even entertain her.

In the end, he still did not make the call. Skylar realized that she couldn’t force him to do something he did not like at all. She wasn’t that important to him.

Skylar wore a sulky look on her face throughout the journey home.

“Wanna go for a drink? I need to unwind. Drink with me, hmm?” Tobias asked her, seemingly oblivious to her emotions.

Skylar was still seething over the fact that Tobias managed to notice Eva’s dark circles but did not even think about asking how she was doing recently.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, huh? Well, I beg to differ!

Pursing her lips unhappily, she snapped, “No, thank you. I have dark circles because I didn’t sleep well. I want to go home and rest.”

Tobias turned a deaf ear to Skylar’s refusal, and ordered the driver, “Find a barbeque restaurant with fewer people. Ms. Jones isn’t a fan of fine dining.”

The driver was quite well-informed as he easily found a restaurant located in a more secluded area. Thus, Skylar got down without needing to wear a mask or cap.

Before entering the barbeque restaurant, Tobias wrapped an arm around her waist and pressed his lips against her ear to whisper in a gentle voice, “A little alcohol can help set the mood. You should drink more to loosen up for later at night.”

Skylar stepped away and broke free from his grip. “Since you didn’t agree to help me find Brayden, don’t even think about it.” With that, she strode purposefully into the restaurant.

The owner brought up a few bottles of beer and skewers to their table.

The bottle opener provided by the restaurant was slightly faulty. Thus, after several failed attempts, Tobias simply used his palm and the edge of the table to open the beer bottle cap.

Skylar gasped when she saw how effortlessly he opened the beer bottle. “Just how much beer have you drank to be so experienced?”

Skylar deliberately ordered a lot of oysters to annoy Tobias.
