In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 477

The weather was growing increasingly colder. As the cool breeze swept past, it mussed up Valerie’s hair. Even as she tucked her hair behind her ear, she considered whether her gesture would be beautiful in Tobias’ eyes. After all, she had always been careful to maintain the perfect side of her before him.

Leaning against the railing, Tobias gazed down at the bustling crowd below as he exhaled a cloud of cigarette smoke. “How long have you been working for me?”

“It’s been eight years now,” Valerie replied. “If you hadn’t asked me to go to Royal Entertainment, I would’ve really liked to continue working by your side.”

Tobias flicked his cigarette before commenting, “I trust you, and I think this position really suits you. I know how difficult it’d been for you to attain everything you have today from nothing. Susan doesn’t have your tenacity and gutsiness, and that’s why I’ve been holding you in high regard.

At his rare compliment and applaud, Valerie’s heart started racing. She appeared particularly stunning as the sunlight shone in and illuminated her face through the dome made of transparent glass.

“But then, you applied that gutsiness of yours onto my woman. She’s only twenty-two years old, yet you keep making life difficult for her. Back then, I told you to take good care of her, and the way you’re doing so has really been an eye-opener to me. You even coerced my woman into a skin flick, asking her to bare her body before everyone else. Was that you, Valerie Fey?”

The moment his words fell, Valerie’s face blanched, and a chill enveloped her. Nonetheless, she forced a chuckle. “All the arrangements I made for her are the pick of the bunch. Many female celebrities can only hope to collaborate with Hugo Lemer…”

“That’s enough,” Tobias interrupted, cutting her off. “You know the reason better than anyone else, so stop giving far-fetched excuses. How could Skylar be your match when you’re using your power to oppress her? Have you forgotten that she has me backing her up? Or do you think that you’re above me?”
