In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Skylar could only see Jeremy’s mouth moving. Still not satisfied, she adjusted her music volume to its maximum.

The two of them ignored each other for more than ten hours on the train. The sky had turned dark outside the windows, and the train coach was filled with varying kinds of aroma. The man sitting across the aisle was slurping on some instant noodles. Not far away, someone was drinking and talking so loudly that the other passengers found it hard to sleep.

Skylar took out her phone to check the time. It was already three in the morning. Since she boarded the train, she hadn’t heard from Tobias. Yet, she could still feel the ghost of his kiss on her lips from yesterday.

Skylar zoomed in on Tobias’ new profile picture. His previous one only had a blank background, but now, it was replaced by a landscape photo. No matter how much Skylar studied it, she couldn’t tell where it was taken.
