In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 204

However, she realized there wasn’t anyone she could talk to. Tobias had gone home and wouldn’t be interested in listening to her rants. Therefore, she decided to have lunch at the cafeteria.

When she arrived, she recalled that she was on a diet. However, the whole wheat bread in the morning was simply too little to fill her stomach. Furthermore, her body was signaling to her that she was in need of food.

Lucky for her, the cafeteria of a film academy was not short on meals for people on a diet. There was even a special booth catering to them. Skylar ordered a salad without the vinaigrette and dressing.

The calories of the dressing and vinaigrette combined come close to that of a fatty piece of steak.

Holding her salad, Skylar went around finding a seat. She finally found one in front of a BBQ booth. Eating her greens while taking in the smell of BBQ meat was a tormenting experience.

As long as she continued acting, she would have a never-ending battle with her appetite. She finally understood why actresses always had a bad temper.

“Can I join you?” Above her, a sweet voice rang out while Skylar was munching on a piece of cucumber.

Looking up, she saw Luciana from the dinner last night. In a pair of TB shorts, a white top, and a Kenzo cap, she looked exceptionally sporty and fashionable. Compared to how provocatively she dressed last night, she appeared to be an entirely different person. Today, she looked like a pretty and active female student.

“It seems like fate has brought us together again.” Skylar had heard that it was common for students at the film academy to have sugar daddies. In fact, anyone in school might have one.

After all, they were all gorgeous, and being beautiful meant that they had what men wanted. Regardless of whether it was looks or figure, all of them were the cream of the crop from the whole country.

Luciana laughed. “Actually, I already recognized you yesterday. After all, you are relatively famous to have been chosen by Daryl. I was also there on the day of the audition. Now, I understand how you got the part so easily. It’s because you slept with Tobias.”

When Luciana talked about it, it seemed like a casual chat to her. She didn’t feel that it was inappropriate to be discussing this at the cafeteria.

“The fact that I got the part had nothing to do with him.” Skylar didn’t understand why she even bothered to explain. Perhaps, she didn’t want to be misunderstood and wanted others to know she got the part based on her own merit.

Luciana scoffed, “In that case, you should milk the opportunity as much as you can before you are dumped. There are no good men among them. If you hadn’t saved me last night, I might have died at the table itself. However, if I made Mr. Crane happy, I would get a part. Hence, it was a worthwhile gamble.”

Skylar didn’t understand why Luciana had to set aside her dignity to do that. Given how pretty she was, she would potentially have a bright future ahead of her.

Nevertheless, Skylar didn’t lecture her as she didn’t know what Luciana had been through before. After all, her own life was messy enough, and she wasn’t in a much better position.

After chatting a while longer, Skylar prepared to leave. However, Luciana called out to her, “Actually, you should consider yourself lucky. When you wanted to have a drink, Tobias changed it to fruit juice instead. It’s obvious that our positions are different. You are the first woman that Tobias has brought along. Before that, I’ve seen him a couple of times in similar gatherings.”

However, Skylar felt that was the way it should be. When men brought their girls out, they were responsible for taking care of their partners’ needs. Instead, she felt Luciana was not showing herself enough respect to expect the same treatment.

Meanwhile, Penelope was waiting for her near the school. Skylar had the check Tobias had given her in her pocket.

When both of them met, Skylar gave her the check.
