In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Knowing how hard things had been on Skylar over the years, Penelope did not want to implicate her. She could not bring herself to let Skylar pay for her own mistake.

Tobias took out a checkbook from his suit pocket and wrote a cheque for half a million before giving it to Skylar.

“Don’t worry yourself sick over this. It’s not that big of a deal anyway,” he said in an exceptionally calm tone.

Penelope was dumbfounded. Skylar held onto the cheque, steeling herself before extending it toward Penelope.

Despite finding it improper, she had no choice. Currently, her top priority was getting Penelope out of this predicament.

As Penelope stared at the string of numbers written on the cheque, she became tongue-tied and was even more curious about this man’s story.

She smacked the cheque on the table and resolutely refused it. “I won’t take it. Why should I take your money? It’s better that you figure things out with that wife of yours at home instead.”

Tobias cast Skylar a long and meaningful look. She really does tell her best friend everything.

Never one to be good at giving explanations, he did not explain himself to Penelope. Moreover, he found it unnecessary to talk about personal affairs with people who were irrelevant.
