In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

After all the guests had departed, the expressionless Eva sat at the table peppered with leftovers and stared vacuously at the wall.

Wesley asked his daughter cautiously, “Are you alright, Eva? I told you before that I wasn’t sure, but who could have guessed Skylar would still be seeing Tobias?”

Eva looked back angrily and snarled, “How could you be so muddle-headed, Dad? Why didn’t you tell me when both of you knew it all along? Now you got me looking like a complete idiot.”

Wesley mumbled, “I couldn’t have known that they were still together. I assumed that a big-shot like Mr. Ford would only be fooling around with her.”

Eva bit her lip, and her eyes burned at the seats previously occupied by Tobias and Skylar. “Yeah, not like she’s good enough for him. She really made me look so bad today.”

Sharon was heartbroken to see her own precious daughter so aggrieved. “This isn’t going to last for Skylar. Didn’t you see how nobody knew about her? If Tobias was serious about being with her for the long haul, why would he be so secretive about it?”

Eva could not stand listening to the mention of Skylar’s name, as hearing that name once more might send her over the edge.
