In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 190

As the restaurant wasn’t big, all the tables were placed close to each other.

A young couple sitting beside them heard Tobias’ words.

Armed with a superiority complex, the girl commented to her boyfriend in disdain, “Darling, the guy beside us isn’t willing to pay for another plate. But he does look handsome. It seems like by looking good is enough to get by nowadays.”

Her boyfriend gave them the side-eye. “That’s why you should be grateful for how well I treat you. After all, I let you spend my money at will. Next time, I should just be more stingy just like him.”

Both Skylar and Tobias clearly heard the couple’s conversation.

Skylar sneered, “Sheesh, what’s there to gloat about.”

Tobias simply ignored them as he wasn’t bothered by such a trivial matter.

In the end, Skylar didn’t finish the second plate. She just paid and left.

From inside the restaurant, the couple watched as Skylar and Tobias got into a Porsche despite not willing to pay for another plate of spaghetti.

Stunned, both of them wondered if this was how the rich actually lived.

Back at home, Skylar went upstairs to take a bath. As for Tobias, he seemed free today as he didn’t work on his laptop.

Meanwhile, the TV was on in the living hall and tuned to the financial news channel. Currently, it reported that the Ford Group had officially ventured into the entertainment industry and set up their own management company.

After her shower, Skylar walked out in a loose bathrobe. She was so slim that the bathrobe looked oversized on her.

Sitting beside Tobias, Skylar’s body emitted the fragrance of the shower gel she used.

To Skylar, showering was the most therapeutic part of the day. When she realized she needed to start filming soon, she wondered how long she needed to wait before being able to shower again.

She poured a glass of warm milk and put it by his left hand. With his elbows on his knees, Tobias looked at the milk.

“You’re serving me a drink of your own accord. Do you have a request?”

Tobias’ question was direct. It caused Skylar to realize that he could easily see through her. Before she even voiced out what she wanted, he already knew the answer.

Skylar bit her lip. “Can you lend me some money? Five hundred thousand will do. I’ll repay you with the money I receive from acting. I’ve also written down the IOU.”

Skylar was exceptionally polite with Tobias.

Tobias furrowed his eyebrows. “Are you trying to pay off your friend’s debt?”

Skylar nodded. After giving it a lot of thought, she knew that it was impossible for Penelope to gather so much money from her job in customer service.

Tobias replied plainly, “You don’t have to be so cordial with me. Besides, you shouldn’t sympathize with your friend for being stupid. I’m someone fair so there’s no need for an IOU. You can repay the favor with your body.”

She was still wearing the loose bathrobe as she followed Tobias upstairs. Rummaging through his drawer, he took out one of his white shirts and handed it to Skylar.

“Wear this. I want to see you in it…”

The shirt’s sleeve extended beyond her arms and it felt very cooling.

“I have my own pajamas.” Skylar pointed at the wardrobe that belonged to her.

“I just want you to wear this. It has nothing to do with whether you have your own pajamas or not.” Tobias extended his hands into her robe and pinched her as punishment.

Under Tobias’ gaze, Skylar changed into the white shirt he had just given her.

His shirt was so loose that she didn’t feel secure in it. She had nothing else on and the shirt accentuated the shapes of her body.

Tobias watched on in glee. She looked sexier with the shirt as compared to being naked.

“Have you been with a lot of women before?” Skylar began to feel the pressure under Tobias’ pensive gaze.

“Not really.”

Skylar didn’t believe it. In her eyes, Tobias was a player and life was his stage. He valued freedom and she believed it was difficult for him to settle down.
