In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 8
Skylar disregarded him and ran out of the car like her life depended on it.
Meanwhile, Tobias’ lips arched up slightly when he saw the butt-shaped paint smear that the woman left on the leather seat.
Upon seeing Tobias getting out of the car, she stopped him and explained, “I’m sharing rent with someone, and my housemate doesn’t like strangers coming over.”
Skylar’s relationship with her housemate, Summer Wayland, was just alright.
Summer worked in a multinational company as an ordinary employee, but she acted arrogant regardless of that fact.
Besides, Skylar knew Summer looked down on her because every time they talked, there would always be a hint of contempt in her words.
Everything from her clothing to the food she consumed was high-end. They shared the same bathroom, so Skylar knew she used expensive skincare products as well, and that Summer scorned her for using budget products.
“What does her opinion have to do with me?” Tobias brushed past her and walked ahead.
Skylar gnawed on her lip in anxiety and sighed inwardly. Tobias always spoke with undebatable dominance.
As she took out her key to unlock the door, she gave him a warning. “Leave right after you’re done with your drink.”
She had a feeling that Summer was going to bark like a rabid dog. Every time she brought Jeremy over, Summer would either slam her door or make clanging noises around the place.
The rental house was messy, but it had a girlish touch to it. Even the floor mat at the door was pink with cartoons printed on it.
“You don’t need to change your shoes. We don’t have house slippers your size.”
Skylar snapped at him and couldn’t wait for him to leave so that she could be alone. Her crestfallen face obviously showed that she was in a terrible mood today, even more so than when she first learned about Jeremy’s illness.
