In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 81

The lingerie was extremely sexy. The parts that were supposed to cover the crucial areas were made of semi-transparent black chiffon fabric. Hence, it was no different from wearing nothing.

After sneaking a few more glances, Sheldon was impressed by Avery’s figure.

However, Tobias had encountered all sorts of situations before and wasn’t even bothered. Even if she had nothing on, he wouldn’t even bat an eyelid.

He questioned her coldly, “Why are you here? Where’s Skylar?”

Avery wasn’t in a hurry to put her bathrobe back on. “She asked me to come as she hasn’t returned from seeing her boyfriend.”

Sheldon pre-emptively defended himself, “I personally handed the box to Skylar. I don’t know what happened after that.”

Avery looked at Tobias with admiration. Raising her gaze at him, she explained with an innocent tone, “Skylar was worried that you would be angry. Hence, she sent me to accompany you.”

Tobias’ gaze turned frosty.

He had planned to have a proper talk with Skylar tonight, to the extent that he left the dinner mid-way as he was worried Skylar waited for too long.

And yet, he was greeted by the sight of Avery standing in front of him while wearing the lingerie he gave Skylar.

“Why did she ask you to accompany me for? To f*ck?” Tobias sat on the sofa and crossed his legs.

Avery quickly shook her head. “She didn’t say that. All she did was ask me to change and come here. I had no choice but to come as I was worried she would be angry. I know this isn’t right but I wasn’t given a choice.”

Tobias sneered, “I wonder since when did both of you become so close?”

The tone he used when speaking with Avery was frosty as ever. There wasn’t any gentleness at all.

As the cleaner had forgotten to switch the climate control to maintain a set temperature, the presidential suite ended up being very cold.

Given that Avery was only wearing a piece of lingerie, goosebumps appeared all over her body while her legs began to shiver.

When Sheldon saw how cold Avery was, he wanted to help her put on a robe. After all, they were still drinking buddies.

“Don’t move. Since she likes to wear it, just let her be.”

Upon hearing Tobias’ words, Sheldon’s fear for his brother caused him to put down the bathrobe.

The scene in front of her wasn’t how Avery imagined it. She didn’t expect to mess it up.

As Avery continued to shiver from the cold, Tobias turned the temperature on the climate control further down.

“Tell me, what really happened?” Tobias sat on the sofa as he sipped on his hot coffee.

Lowering her head, Avery’s eyes reddened as she bit her lip. “Skylar asked me to come but I told her I shouldn’t. However, she still forced me to see you. She said if I didn’t do this, she will not forgive me.”

Listening in silence, Tobias found it laughable.

“Aren’t you always the one to bully her? Now you are saying you fear her? Are you an idiot or do you think I’m gullible?”

Despite the calm tone, his words still sent a shiver down Avery’s spine.

“She said that as your girlfriend, she didn’t dare upset you. No matter how outrageous it may be, I will still have to endure it.”

As Sheldon listened on beside them, he felt sorry for Avery. Despite her beauty, he realized she didn’t come with brains.

Her lies might have worked on kids, but he was surprised that she dared to tell them to his brother.

Meanwhile, Avery was so cold that her hands were hugging her shoulders while her legs fidgeted to keep warm.

Tobias smiled smugly. “Since I have allowed you to speak, why don’t we get Skylar here and ask her if you are lying.”

When Avery glanced at the grandfather clock and realized the dorm was closed, she knew that Tobias wouldn’t be able to verify her words tonight.
