In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 205

However, both her tone and body language were filled with repulsion. “You took his money again? Who is he really to give you five hundred thousand that easily? This money is a lifetime of savings of another ordinary person.”

“I borrowed the money but you don’t have to repay me in a hurry. Just take your time.” Skylar didn’t want to give Penelope too much pressure.

She already had enough bad luck. Before she even graduated, she was cheated of so much money. Given how hard it was to make money now, there was no way she could earn much even if she worked non-stop.

Penelope was close to being driven mad by the debt collectors. Therefore, she had no choice but to take the check while insisting that she would repay everything.

Skylar heaved a sigh of relief when Penelope accepted the money. After all, she had been kept up the whole night by Tobias just so that she could get it.

Even then, Penelope didn’t forget to show Skylar a picture of her new boyfriend. Skylar was impressed that under such dire circumstances, Penelope still had the mood to be in a relationship.

When Skylar leaned in to look at the picture on Penelope’s phone, she saw a guy who had permed his hair to make it look frizzy. Even through the screen, she could feel that he was a jerk.

Penelope was always like that. Her taste in guys was extremely different from Skylar’s. Hence, there would never be a case where both of them as best friends would fight over the same man.

She commented insincerely, “He’s alright, just a little strange.”

“What do you mean by ‘strange’?”

Skylar replied, “He doesn’t look like someone you could rely on.”

There was no way Penelope shared Skylar’s opinion.

She explained, “We have a very good relationship. Every day, we would talk a lot on the phone and yet still have so much to say.”

Skylar laughed at herself for worrying about Penelope when she still had plenty of time for love.

Two minutes after she mentioned him, Penelope’s boyfriend called.

When Penelope saw who it was, she quickly forgot her troubles with a smile. “He’s checking on me again and is really clingy. That’s why it’s better to be in a relationship with someone your age. You will have common topics and also passion. Look at you now, your phone hasn’t even rung once. Any man worth his salt would be calling by now.”

Skylar put her phone back in her pocket. “He’s really busy and will only call at night. However, we really are different from both of you. We don’t chat till late into the night. After all, he has to work while I have to rest.”

Penelope seemed to have comprehended Skylar’s relationship status as she called her foolish. She didn’t believe one could be so busy to the extent of not having time for a quick chat.

Not unless he didn’t put in any effort at all.

Penelope advised Skylar, “You better keep your eyes open so that history doesn’t repeat itself. Look at how much you did for Jeremy and got nothing in the end.”

Skylar winked with a smile. “It’s still alright. At least I’m out of the rat race early.”

On the way back home, Skylar received a call from Kate. She requested Skylar to delete everything on her social media account. Furthermore, she was not to post anything arbitrarily.

When she checked her long-forgotten social media accounts, she realized it was filled with pictures of her and Jeremy when they were still a couple. No wonder Kate was so pissed over the phone.

When she arrived home, the first thing she did was wipe everything out until there was nothing left.

About half an hour later, Kate arrived at her house based on the address she gave. When she saw Skylar living in a villa, she knew right away that it was because of Tobias.

Skylar poured a glass of water for Kate and sat on the sofa opposite her. “Will anyone pay attention to my social media accounts? The movie posters are out, but it doesn’t even have my face on it. It’s really difficult for people to know me.”
