In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

She almost married Jeremy. If she were his wife, she could only be a housewife, taking care of his parents and children at home.

I guess I’m not that unfortunate. Luckily I made another call, or else my life would be wasted.

While Skylar was lost in her thought of marriage, Penelope called her. Penelope apologized for what happened the day before. Besides, she invited Skylar for dinner as she had an important announcement.

As her best friend, Skylar happily accepted her invitation although she had a date with Tobias that evening. Tobias was going to bring her to a nice restaurant to have some gourmet Western cuisines.

Skylar couldn’t help but feel relieved after she called off the dinner. She felt stressed whenever she had Western cuisines with Tobias. The man was very particular about the ambiance and the food quality.

He always opted for a full-course meal which consisted of an appetizer, soup, main course, salad, and dessert.

The dining etiquette was way too complicated to her liking. Actually, Skylar was not very fussy about what she ate. Besides, what annoyed her the most was that she had to stay alert throughout the meal so that she didn’t make a fool of herself.

That was her first time to call off a date with Tobias. His response was rather indifferent. He just hummed in response, then he ended the call.

Skylar was expecting Tobias to express concern for her, such as reminding her to get more rest. However, he would never say something like that to her.
