In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

The perceptiveness of Kate’s words had Skylar thinking that the former could have easily been a relationship coach if she ever stopped being a manager.

Kate then retrieved an envelope from the drawer which she passed to Skylar. “Merry Christmas. Take the festive season to rest and recharge. I’m confident that you’ve got a shot at becoming the hottest starlet in the country.”

Skylar had never gotten a Christmas present from anyone before; Kate was the first to give her.

Kate may be a tough talker, but inside, she was a real teddy bear. That gesture alone had Skylar profoundly moved, so she did not mind whatever was inside.

Every year, she always felt left out when Eva and Timothy gathered around the Christmas trees, waiting to open up their presents. As for her, her name would never be found tagged onto any of the presents.

Miranda’s life sentence was a source of shame for friends and family who knew about it, and the disparity in treatment was obvious from those who had redirected their vitriol toward her mother onto her.

Kate’s envelope opened to reveal one-thousand-and-one dollars in cash— a symbolic and powerful angel number.

Skylar appreciatively tucked that away inside her own pocket.

On the way home, Skylar stopped over to get some festive decorations which she hoped to embellish her empty house and add to the festive cheer with. She was determined to have herself a good time, even if she were to spend it alone.
