In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 125

Penelope was still worried that she was walking straight into the lion’s den. What’s there to discuss with a guy like him? Unless she’s giving him a second chance? That’s too foolish of her! Men like him are masters of deceit. Skylar’s still innocent, and there’s no telling what would happen to her if she blindly fell for his sweet nothings. Besides, he seems like an opulent elite. She definitely needs to be wary of this man.

Hence, Penelope stood at the door, refusing to budge even an inch. She was adamant about not letting the two leave together.

Tobias looked at Skylar’s friend as though she was a fool. Gosh. Where is this lunatic from? She’s too difficult to deal with.

“Don’t worry. We’ll leave after our conversation. I’ll give you a call once I’m back in the hostel. Is that okay?” Skylar promised in an attempt to coax Penelope.

Realizing that she was being put in a tight spot, Penelope began to waver. Finally, she let go of Skylar’s hand and reminded her, “Be careful! Make sure to go to places full of people. If there’s anything wrong, call the cops immediately!”

While speaking, she sneakily slipped the anti-rape device she brought along into Skylar’s bag.

Skylar nodded. Penelope watches way too many thriller movies. All that’s in her mind is related to crime. If Tobias Ford really wanted to murder me, he wouldn’t care less about the witnesses.

She then left with Tobias. It had been a month since they last saw each other. As she thought about how distant they grew, she did not even hear the car behind her honk. In a swift movement, Tobias pulled her into his arms to let the white sedan behind them through.

“Could you watch where you’re going? You’re bound to get into an accident if you keep acting like this.” He was visibly annoyed when he scolded her. Just the thought of her crossing the road alone worried him.

Since he did not drive, Skylar followed closely behind him as they walked. When they arrived at the hotel’s entrance, Skylar bulged her eyes at him. “Are you trying to get me into bed again? We’ve just met. How wicked of you.”

Tobias stared at her blankly. “Is there a problem?”

“What do you take me for? Someone at your beck and call to fulfill your sexual desires? Then after you’ve had your way with me, you’ll just throw me aside as usual. Well, I guess the purpose of my existence is to be trampled on by you.” Her words were dripping with sarcasm as she vented her frustration at him with a pale face.

Tobias was confounded. Why is she throwing a tantrum? I’ve just returned from Rome, and the first thing I did upon landing was to meet her. Didn’t we get along well just before I left?

But now she’s looking at me like I’m an eyesore and rejecting my advances.

“If you really think that way, what can I do? Just don’t throw a fit.”

All of a sudden, he grabbed Skylar’s hand. As he dragged her into the hotel, a searing pain coursed through her body.

When they reached the lobby, the manager dutifully handed the room card to Tobias with both hands. He glanced at the pair inquisitively. Why does this lady look so unwilling? Doesn’t she know how lucky she is? So many other women would kill to climb into bed with him.

“I’m going to call the cops if you keep doing this,” Skylar muttered in a feeble attempt to threaten Tobias.

She was well aware that nobody had the ability to restrict him and that her remark barely made a difference to him.

Upon arriving at the room, Tobias flung her hand away. “Come on in. I thought you had something to say to me.”

Suppressing her anger, Skylar obediently followed him into the room. The first thing that caught her attention was the whiff of incense that filled the room. The room was dim, making it difficult for her to make out Tobias’ expression.
