In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 193

Tobias looked at her apologetically. “Tonight, you will have to stay home by yourself as I need to drop by the office. Remember to check all the doors and windows at night before you sleep.”

Skylar was disappointed. “Why are you going so late at night? Did something serious happen?”

Already changed, Tobias replied when he was about to leave, “It’s still manageable. Tomorrow, I’ll get the driver to pick you up. You should go ahead and rest early.”

Skylar didn’t ask him to stay despite feeling reluctant to let him leave. She wasn’t going to coquettishly make him stay.

In fact she was very independent, which had cost her to suffer a lot during her previous relationship.

But, Tobias was pleased with her. By not acting clingy around him, he wouldn’t lose his patience and understanding for her.

He needed someone that was sensible and not too dependent on him.

After walking Tobias out, she watched until the black Porsche disappeared from her sight.

Skylar let out a lonely sigh as he could be away due to a single phone call. She was already used to it by now.

When she reached the set, Skylar met Kate. She was the assistant Tobias had assigned to Skylar though he didn’t mention it to her.

Kate was in her thirties and looked very experienced. She also gave off a mature and aggressive vibe.

After chatting briefly, Kate asked Skylar, “What is your relationship with Mr. Ford?”

When Skylar replied that there were in a relationship, Kate didn’t ask anything further. Meanwhile, there was a new Mercedes-Benz motorhome at the film site.

Kate explained, “Mr. Ford arranged this as a gift to you.”

Skylar stared at the luxurious motorhome in surprise. “He didn’t tell me about it. Besides, it doesn’t seem appropriate for me to be in such a high-end motorhome given my trivial role.”

Kate raised her eyebrows. “This has nothing to do with your role. It’s just unimaginable to stay in such a dusty place without the cozy motorhome.”

Skylar then called Tobias to verify and also ask him why he didn’t tell her in advance.

However, the call just wouldn’t connect. Ever since he left the night before, she didn’t manage to get in touch with him.

When she called in the morning, his phone was off. But now, it just wouldn’t connect at all.

“Can you get in touch with Tobias?” Skylar asked Kate for help.

Kate replied helplessly, “Since when does Mr. Ford even have time for me. If even you can’t get him, I doubt I can.”

Before the morning was over, the news of Tobias gifting Skylar a new motorhome had spread throughout the crew.

Katrina raged in jealousy. She couldn’t accept how Skylar could continuously one-up her given that she was still unknown.

In the shared dressing room, Skylar’s makeup artist was helping her to apply her foundation. Her actions were incredibly gentle as if she were a different person from earlier.

“Ms. Jones, your skin is flawless. It’s so great to be young. On the contrary, Katrina’s skin is visibly different. She has larger pores and experiences outbreaks frequently.”

Skylar was reluctant to gossip as she was worried her words would find their way to Katrina’s ears.

Hence, she closed her eyes in silence.

At the sound of footsteps approaching, the makeup artist closed her foundation kit with a crisp snap.

“Congratulations, you got a motorhome on your first movie,” Kai remarked indifferently.

Opening her eyes, Skylar turned to look at Kai. His expression did not reflect his congratulatory wishes at all. Instead, it was one of disdain.

“It was unexpected as I just got to know about it. Now, I no longer need to use your motorhome to shower.”

Kai pulled up a chair and sat opposite Skylar. “It seems your trip home was extremely fruitful. Tobias appears generous to women, throwing money around like it’s nothing. I can only lend you my shower but he can present you a motorhome.”
