In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 518

Penelope was visibly disheartened. Skylar seemed to be flushed with success, seeing as news about her was something she could not avoid seeing every day. Penelope refused to believe that Skylar had no influence whatsoever.

“Are you afraid of being associated with people like me?” asked Penelope, her gaze dispirited. “Your current circle should include all the famous stars. They rub shoulders with whoever is popular at the moment.”

If Skylar had not heard these words in person, she definitely wouldn’t have believed that they were uttered by Penelope.

She assumed that their friendship was steadfast and resolute. No matter what happened, they would not question each other.

What Penelope said was sad indeed. To lighten the situation, Skylar said, “I can help you build an online presence and then help you buy traffic. This is also a way to make money.”

Penelope barely gave a damn about influencers in general. After all, how could influencers compare to being actual celebrities? Besides, there was nothing much she could do on her own. Does she want me to showcase my own misery? Since I’m a single mom? As if I’m not enough of a laughing stock already.

“Fine. I don’t need your help anymore. I’ll find a way on my own. Looks like I can’t rely on anyone, apparently,” said Penelope ruthlessly. “You’d best not show up here anymore either, lest the paparazzi catch a glimpse of you and your miserable friend. Wouldn’t want to affect your glorious image, now would we?”

Skylar wanted to interject and explain, but she was cut off by the sound of the child crying. Bit had been startled by Penelope’s voice.

Embarrassed and upset, Penelope promptly unbuttoned her blouse to breastfeed Bit.

Skylar was worried that she was in the way of them and decided to leave. As it turned out, breastfeeding was a part of motherhood.

However, the very concept was foreign to Skylar. This was the first time she had seen breastfeeding happen in front of her and felt something tug at her heartstrings. Did that not hurt?

Skylar also could not fathom why Penelope rejected the suggestion. Every job had its own distinctions, and influencers earned much more than celebrities did.

Penelope was not keen on capitalizing on her own misery. Skylar, on the other hand, did not seem to have qualms when it came to earning money. So what if Penelope had to capitalize on her being sad?

In the old quarter, a dazzling Aston Martin with a prominent license plate was parked in a corner.

The owner of the car had spent the night in her bed.
