In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Seeing that her efforts at wresting Penelope from her daydream were futile, Skylar left the topic at that. She hastily swallowed her next few words of caution.

Penelope sprawled on the sofa, scrolling through her phone and enthusiastically picking out clothes for her unborn child. Skylar snuck a glance over her shoulder.

Seeing that the other woman was browsing luxury brands such as Burberry and Gucci, each item of clothing exhibiting a minimum price tag of a thousand, Skylar suggested kindly, “The baby will grow up really fast. There’s no need to buy such expensive clothes if he outgrows them every few days.”

Scornfully, Penelope answered, “My family was too poor to buy me good clothes when I was young. I won’t let my son suffer from the same fate! His father’s a rich man. We’ll spare no expense for his child, I’m sure.”

Helplessly, Skylar replied, “All right. I have to be on set later, so I’ll head back now. Tobias is waiting for me downstairs.”

Spitefully, Penelope said, “Why didn’t he come up here? Does he not want to see me that badly?”

Skylar heaved a sigh. “You’re overthinking things. He’s smoking in the car. Besides, he doesn’t really know you, either, and might be afraid to make things awkward.”

Penelope happily replied, “Well, he’s Brayden’s friend. I’m sure we’ll have plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future.”
