In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 177

Daryl called Skylar over right after she was done changing into her costume. He studied her, noting her innocent and clear eyes, spotless face, and youthful body.

It was no wonder Tobias took a fancy to her.

“Please apologize to Mr. Ford on my behalf. I had too much to drink last night. Mr. Ford won’t hold me liable, will he?”

Skylar thought it was something important, but he had called her over just to apologize.

“No. He didn’t say anything.”

Hearing that finally got Daryl to relax a little, but he still regretted drinking so much last night.

Nonetheless, he could brag about having a meal with Tobias Ford to his peers for a long time to come.

“I’m giving you more scenes.” Daryl decided spontaneously.

Surprise flickered in Skylar’s eyes. “Why?”

Daryl gave Skylar a meaningful look, hinting that this decision was made because of her relationship with Tobias.

Without a moment of hesitation, Skylar rejected his offer, “There’s no need. My character isn’t even likable, to begin with. If we add more scenes for her, I’d probably be cursed to death by the viewers.”

Daryl had also thought about this issue, so he tried again, “Why don’t you sleep on it and tell me after you’ve decided? This could potentially give your character more depth.”

Skylar was still not interested and only wanted to finish filming this movie.

The shoot in the morning went smoothly with many scenes passing in one take.

Because she did not have any scenes with Katrina, their progress was much faster.

After the crew wrapped up, Skylar rolled up the sleeves of her costume. As she had not changed back into her clothes, she still looked like a young lady from the 1970s.

“You said you were going to buy me a meal. Did you mean it?” Kai asked.

Skylar immediately turned him down. “I’m sorry, but I can’t today. Perhaps when we’re back home.”

“Why not today?” Kai argued.

“I’m tired and I want to sleep.”

Indeed, Skylar looked exhausted. Her complexion was pasty as if she had just recovered from an illness.

During the two nights Tobias was here, she barely slept a wink. She had been thoroughly ravaged and by the time he was done with her, it was already almost dawn.

“I’ll tell you his story and you’ll understand why both of you can’t last long, so are you going to buy me a meal or not?” Kai indirectly threatened her. To a woman who was in love, the condition he offered was too tempting to reject.

Skylar barely knew anything about Tobias’ life because until now, their interactions were mostly carnal instead of emotional.

Just after she officially got together with Tobias, she left to film a movie so they did not get the chance to connect on a deeper level.

Hence, Skylar could not bring herself to let an opportunity to get to know Tobias slip from her grasp.

“What do you wanna eat then? Dinner is on me.”

Kai gave her a strained smile. “I don’t remember it being so difficult to get a woman to eat with me. I’m fine with anything. Let’s just eat something simple.”

Skylar protested, “Don’t worry about the cost. Since I’ve already decided to buy you dinner, I have to make sure you enjoy a good meal.”

Kai complained, “It’s fine. There aren’t any places with good food around here anyway.”

After Skylar and Kai finished work, they ended up going to the county since there were no restaurants in the area.

She found a small restaurant famous for its pasta. Kai said with a grin, “How did you know I like pasta? I’m a big fan of carbs.”

The two sat face to face, each lost in their own thoughts as they ate their pasta.

Skylar picked up her fork, twirled some pasta around it, and began eating. She had grown tired of the bland food provided by the filming crew.

“Didn’t you say you were going to tell me his story? Aren’t you going to begin?” Skylar took the initiative to break the silence.
