In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 175

Tobias stood up and leaned close to Skylar. The pungent smell of smoke and alcohol instantly invaded her senses.

“Stop explaining yourself to me. I’ll go settle the bill. Wait for me at the door. Are you full?”

“Yes, but isn’t it the director’s treat tonight? Why are you paying for it?”

“He can barely walk straight. How’s he going to pay?”

Because the restaurant was located in a county town, the feast Daryl had ordered only totaled up to slightly more than three hundred.

As usual, Tobias took out his wallet and paid in cash.

Seeing this, Skylar had the urge to teach him how to pay via his phone.

It was very late by the time they got back. While Tobias wiped his body with cold water, Skylar leaned against the toilet door and asked, “When are you going back?”

“Why? Can’t wait to see me leave?” Tobias threw a towel toward her, motioning for her to wipe his back.

Skylar walked in with the towel in hand. “That’s not what I meant. I’m just worried that staying here too long will keep you from making money.”

She gently wiped Tobias’ broad back with the damp towel, the tattoo on his shoulder looked even more distinct this up close.

If he were to wear a white tank top during the summer season, his tattoo would be completely exposed. She thought of getting one as well, but she did not have the courage.

“Even if you keep me from making money, I’ll still be able to take care of you. Stop worrying about these things. When will you finish shooting? Being apart isn’t going to work,” Tobias countered.

“We can still text every day, no?”

“What’s the point of texting when we can’t see or touch each other?”

As Skylar wiped Tobias’ back thoroughly, she noticed the long scratch marks on his back, reminding her of how passionate they were in bed last night. Her cheeks instantly flushed a crimson red while her heart galloped in her chest.

“I’m not sure yet. Soon, perhaps. I’ll leave once we wrap up here. It probably won’t be long until then.”

“Good. You can actually go back every day since it’s quite near.”

Skylar put down the towel and placed her hands on the sink, listening to the cicadas outside.
