In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 354

Skylar then decided to keep the door open as she didn’t want to risk having journalists snooping around getting questionable pictures of them.

With all the rumors surrounding them, she couldn’t afford to have people going around saying he visited her in her hotel room.

Kai then retrieved two wine glasses and poured them both some red wine. “My goodness, you should see how haggard you look right now! I knew you wouldn’t be happy dating Tobias!”

Skylar shot him a cold glare. “You seem to have some serious problems with him. You two have a grudge against each other or something?”

“Tobias is not a good guy, okay? My instincts are telling me that you should stay away from him if you know what’s good for you. There’s plenty of fish in the sea, so why waste your time on him?” Kai scowled with a disdainful look on his face.

“I’ve never expected anything to happen between us. He doesn’t care about getting married, and neither do I,” Skylar replied.

She was playing it off way too casually, and Kai knew she wasn’t the type to fool around like that.

“Looks like you don’t know Tobias at all! I remember him bringing a woman home and claiming he wants to marry her, but that was a really long time ago. You were probably still in school at the time.”

Skylar tensed up for a brief moment but was quick to regain her composure. “Are you kidding me? If so, that was not funny at all.”

It was then that Kai realized Skylar was like any other ordinary girl who dreamed of getting married and having a family with the man they loved. The only thing that set her apart from those girls was her beautiful appearance, but that was all there was to it.

“If I recall correctly, her name is Idania Garland… Yes, that’s her all right. She was the only woman Tobias brought home to meet his family. I heard he even got into a fight with his mother over her. I’m not sure what happened in the end, but rumor has it that Idania decided to leave on her own accord. It’s obvious that Tobias doesn’t love you for who you are, but because you and Idania look very similar to each other.”

Skylar thought back to the time when she had gone to see Tobias the other day.

His friend had asked him if she looked like her, and Tobias had said no.

She found herself filled with both curiosity and envy towards the woman named Idania. What kind of woman is she? Why would Tobias want to marry her willingly when he wouldn’t even let me stay anywhere that was within a few minutes’ drive from his family home? I thought I knew him like the back of my hand… I was under the assumption that he cared about nothing but his career, and that all I had to do was satisfy his needs in bed… Well, guess I was wrong…

“I am my own person, not some replacement,” Skylar stated calmly after downing her entire glass of wine in one go. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Kai let out a chuckle. “I sure hope so!”

He stayed around for about another half an hour before leaving awkwardly when he saw how depressed she looked.

Skylar finished the entire bottle of wine he had left behind that night. She then took the first flight home the next morning with a severe hangover.

Upon arrival at the airport, she donned a face mask and baseball cap before making her way towards customs.

Even with that disguise, some of her more hardcore fans who had come to see her off were able to recognize her and gave her bouquets. Her main objective was to avoid being seen by her fans, and it would be really difficult if she walked around with those flowers in hand.

“You can throw them away if you have to. There’s a trash can over there,” Hannah suggested.

Skylar took a good look at the flowers that were blooming brightly and decided to keep them. They were the first flowers she had ever received from anyone, after all.

She was stopped by a few burly men dressed in black the moment she got off the plane. They all had stern looks on their faces, and Skylar would’ve thought they were sent by the FBI to arrest her if it weren’t for the fact that she hadn’t done anything illegal.

“Are you guys from airport security?” she asked with an eyebrow raised.

One of the men replied rudely, “Our boss wants you to go see her. Come with us!”
