In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 558

The young man looked at Skylar awkwardly and asked, “Is he your boyfriend? I thought you were single.”

When Skylar recalled the nature of James’ job, she was worried that he would bring it up in his idle chatter with his colleagues. Hence, she denied immediately, “I don’t have a boyfriend yet. He is a friend and my superior at work.”

Tobias’ eyes squinted in response as he watched Skylar lie through her teeth.

“Hello, my name is James Jackson. I’m Skylar’s friend from high school. She used to sit in front of me,” James introduced himself warmly and he stood up to shake Tobias’ hand.

Holding a wooden skewer in his hand, Tobias broke it in half with a push of his thumb, sending a chill down Skylar’s spine.

As he stared at James coldly, James’ hand was still extended awkwardly.

“Are you done eating? There’s something urgent at the office. Come back with me right away.” He turned his gaze toward Skylar.

Usually, she would feel uneasy in my car because she wanted to avoid suspicion or was worried about being photographed.

But now, she can brazenly drink with another man, with a reddened face and a bunch of empty beer bottles beside them.

Skylar recent actions and behavior never ceased to amaze him.

As James retracted his hand awkwardly, he scratched his head and replied, “You should go deal with whatever you need to. Anyway, I’ll work on what you have asked of me and talk to my boss know when I’m back at the police station.”

Skylar replied gratefully, “I appreciate it.”

When she prepared to pay, the waiter informed her, “A man has paid for you.”

Smiling awkwardly at James, Skylar remarked, “You shouldn’t have done that. How can I allow you to pay? After all, I was the one who asked you for help.”
