In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 489

“What a coincidence! I didn’t expect to bump into you here. I was planning to ask you out for a meal, but you didn’t reply to my message.”

“I was too busy, so I didn’t see it,” Tobias replied.

Idania then turned her gaze on Skylar beside him. At a single glance, she recognized the celebrity who frequently appeared on the trending list on Twitter recently.

Just yesterday itself, she spoke of Skylar with her colleagues and expressed her sympathy for her tragic background.

“And this is…” Idania inquired with an inquisite gaze.

“A friend,” Tobias nonchalantly answered, leaving it at just that.

Upon hearing that, the courteous smile on Skylar’s face faded. Her expression froze and turned taut.

Subsequently, the woman graciously extended a fair and slender hand. “Nice to meet you. I’m Idania Garland.”

Skylar had only ever heard of her name but had never seen her in person. Never had she expected to bump into Idania here, the only woman whom Tobias told his family he wanted to marry.

She stared at her for a few seconds before retracting her gaze. “Nice to meet you. I’m Skylar Jones, Tobias’ girlfriend.”

Idania froze upon hearing that. Is this for real? Did he really find a girlfriend from the entertainment industry? But isn’t he big on chastity? So, she is the girlfriend he mentioned to me the other day, huh? How ironic that I’d just pitied her today itself!

Then, she flashed them a gentle smile. “I’ll leave the two of you to your date, then. I’ve got a meeting with a client here, so we’ll get together next time.”

After she had left, Skylar put away the fake smile on her face. Anguish surged within her. He claimed that we’re just friends, and he did that before his ex-girlfriend to boot.

Noticing her dejected expression, Tobias caressed her hair. “What are you thinking that you’re spacing out here? You’ve got to satisfy me tonight. I’ve got half a month’s worth of repressed desire to sate.”

Long since immune to his crude remarks, Skylar countered, “That’s your problem. You should just keep it for yourself since your ex-girlfriend is really beautiful.”

Tobias stared at her sharply. “She’s passable.”

Snorting, Skylar deliberately bumped him with a shoulder and stalked ahead.
