In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Why don’t you treasure what I give you? Penelope had written feelingly in small, white text against a plain black background. She had evidently done so with the intention of soliciting comfort from her friends on social media.

Skylar pondered this for a while but ultimately scrolled away without reacting to it.

“We’ve been continuously working overtime lately because of your father’s company,” Eva intoned, breaking the hush in the office. She picked up the last document and added it to her neat stack, then strode over to Skylar.

Skylar turned to look at Eva, then said quietly, “Eva, what are you blaming me for? I don’t get a single cent from Quest Group, you know.”

Eva was dressed in a rather risqué, fitting blouse and mini-skirt. She’d left the top three buttons of her blouse undone, exposing a peek of the smooth white skin on her chest for all to see.

Skylar realized that Eva had a rather impressive figure, being treated as she was to a rather expansive view of Eva’s body through the plunging V-neck that the blouse now afforded.
