In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 517

“Am I disturbing your sleep?” Came a sweet and coquettish voice from the other end of the receiver.

“He’s not up yet. I can pass on a message for you if you’d like.”

There was silence for a while before Skylar heard a response. “And you are?”

“I’m his girlfriend.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. Just ask him to call me back when he’s awake and remind him about our meeting tonight.”

The emotions were clearly written on Skylar’s face, despite how superb her acting was on set.

She exited the bathroom to find Tobias awake. Having had a fitful rest, he was in much higher spirits than the night before.

“You can just view it out in the open, you know,” said Tobias, noticing that his phone was in her hand. “Why did you have to hide in the bathroom?”

Skylar set it on the bed with a wry smile. “I didn’t look at anything. But your phone kept ringing, so I decided to pick up on your behalf.”

“Who called?”

“Idania. She wanted to remind you about tonight’s appointment.”

As Skylar said this, her eyes carried a hint of sadness.

“Hmm, I rejected her proposal, but she’s being persistent. Anyway, she’s insisting that I meet with her to sort things out. If you’re not happy about it, then I just won’t go.”

Hearing Tobias’ clarification, she was not sure if she should have felt happy or sad. Skylar assumed that Tobias would have liked for her to insist it was fine.

“Well, I’m don’t like it, so don’t go. Exes are just hateful, to begin with. I need you to draw a line with her. That shouldn’t be too difficult, right?”
