In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 77

When Sheldon saw Skylar checking her bag for a tracker, he put her mind at ease. “Tobias isn’t that ridiculous. He was worried about you staying out alone. Hence, he asked me to come over as I happened to be nearby. When I asked him why he didn’t come himself, he didn’t answer me.”

Skylar recalled the angry words she had for Tobias just now. She yelled at him to stay away and not torment her further.

After Sheldon told her everything he knew, Skylar realized the brothers’ characters were at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Sheldon liked to talk while Tobias was a man of few words. However, whenever he spoke, it would be to devastating effect.

After dropping her off at the school entrance, Sheldon asked curiously, “What is your relationship with Tobias now? I have never seen him so serious about a woman before.”

As dawn broke, the sky began to brighten gradually. The morning air was exceptionally crisp and was moistened by the fresh morning dew.

In the face of Sheldon’s nosy gaze, Skylar chuckled. “There’s no relationship to speak of. We aren’t even friends.”

Sheldon shrugged his shoulders. “It’s a fact that both of you are a couple. Or else, Tobias wouldn’t be friends with a girl your age. You’re just too young. What would you even have in common to talk about?”

Skylar never saw herself as someone young. Whenever she did a test, the results always showed that she had the mentality of a middle-aged woman.

Sheldon escorted Skylar to the ground floor of her dorm. He considered his duty done only after the dorm manager opened the door to let Skylar in.

If not for Skylar, he would probably be sleeping till the next morning after being wasted from drinking.

Despite being so sleepy that his eyes burned, Sheldon still needed to report to Tobias at the hotel.

When he arrived, he took the elevator directly to the presidential suite.

Upon entering, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Tobias was already working as someone had delivered some documents over at unbelievable speed.

Yawning, Sheldon teased him, “Tobias, aren’t you tired?”

Tobias massaged his forehead as he looked visibly exhausted. He had delayed a lot of his work because of Skylar.

His work required his personal attention and therefore he was unable to escape.

“Is she safely back?” Tobias raised his gaze coldly.

Seizing the opportunity to take credit, Sheldon described everything that happened in detail.

He even added, “If not for me, Skylar would have been taken away by the group of hooligans.”

Tobias asked, “Where are they now?”

To which Sheldon replied, “In the car. I don’t know what to do with them, so I decided to ask you.”

He added, “Skylar was at the cybercafé’s entrance when the pink-haired guy twisted her hand behind her back. Despite being weak, she was still struggling vehemently.”

Tobias threw down his pen as tension filled the room.

In the underground basement, Tobias ordered his bodyguards to bring the hoodlums out of the van.

Pink Hair’s leg was still bleeding and his face had lost all color from the pain.

He pleaded in agony, “Please let me go. I’m going to die of pain.”

Tobias looked at Pink Hair with disdain while his tone was bone-chilling. “How dare you demand anything of me?”

Terrified of Tobias’ fearsome gaze, Pink Hair begged, “Dear Sir, please forgive us as we were only trying to pick up a girl. Next time, we won’t dare do it again.”

When Tobias raised his hand, his bodyguard responded immediately by placing a gun in it.

“Unfortunately, there isn’t a next time.”

With a pull of the trigger, the bullet landed in Pink Hair’s heart.
