In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 169

An air of despondency surrounded Kai as he still needed some time to accept the reality. “No thanks. I don’t have much of an appetite,” he turned Tobias’s invitation down. With that, he turned and left.

Skylar heaved a sigh of relief once Kai was out of sight.

Just then, she heard Tobias asking, “It seems like you’re close with Kai. Why didn’t you tell me that you’re cast in the same film as him?”

Biting her lips, she raised her head to face Tobias, who was sitting on the armchair. “I was afraid that you will be annoyed if I told you everything that happened. Besides, I didn’t mean to hide it from you; I just forgot to tell you about it.”

Tobias flashed her a faint smile, flinging her back with her own words, “It seems like someone has forgotten that she has sent me messages before, telling me what she ate for lunch. Aren’t you afraid that this might annoy me?”

Skylar couldn’t help sighing internally. It sure requires a lot of mental effort to communicate with him.

“Alright, let’s go and have breakfast. I bet you must be hungry now after an exhausting night,” he said, looking at her affectionately. At that moment, there seemed to be sweetness in the air.

“They don’t sell breakfast here. We need to get our breakfast at the film set. You can wait here while I grab you a few croissants.”

“Why can’t we go together? Am I embarrassing you?” he asked softly.

Skylar wanted to hide him from everyone, especially Katrina, who hinted that she had an intimate relationship with him previously. She was worried that Katrina would try to rekindle her relationship with him, and he would get back to his old flame.

Having no idea of her worries, Tobias simply walked out of the room and headed to the film set.

Skylar had no choice but to follow suit. Suddenly, as if something came to mind, she called out, “Tobias, last night, you… you…” Her face flushed as she stuttered.

Upon hearing her words, Tobias halted his steps in the middle of the corridor.

Skylar took a deep breath to regain her composure. “No, it was not last night. I mean, we had sex this morning. So I guess I meant to say morning? Since it was after midnight…” she started blabbering again.
