In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 115

Tobias raised the armrest between him and Skylar so that the womancould lean on him.

Skylar continued to munch on popcorn while staring intently at thescreen with her eyes filled with terror.

When the movie reached the most exciting part, both the imagery andthe sound effects were at their climax as well.

Just then, Tobias’ phone rang. As he had forgotten to put his phone onsilent mode, Skylar got such a huge shock that her heart had almoststopped beating.

“I need to take a call outside. Will you be OK on your own?”

Skylar shook her head and looked at Tobias with her big and wateryeyes, appearing just like a damsel in distress.

“I'm quite scared. What should I do if the ghost suddenly crawls out ofthe screen?”

It was easy for one’s mind to run wild when watching a horror film.Skylar could already imagine a woman dressed in white sitting atTobias’ seat and smiling at her with blood oozing out from her ears,eyes, mouth and nostrils.

In the end, Skylar did not succeed in keeping Tobias with her; he stillleft the theater to answer the call.

Shortly after, Sheldon appeared and sat down next to Skylar.

“My brother told me to keep you company for a while. He needs to pickup a call.”

Skylar turned around and took a glance behind. Tobias was rather“thoughtful’ to get Sheldon to accompany her. After all, Sheldon wasalso watching the movie with his girlfriend. It just didn't seemappropriate for him to leave his female companion alone.

“He had already answered at least five calls when we were on our wayhere!” Skylar estimated.

Sheldon could tell that Skylar was complaining even though she herselfmight not be aware of it and explained, “My brother is a busy man. Youcan't even imagine how busy he is. To get him to watch a movie withyou is, in fact, even harder than striking lottery.”

Skylar felt that Sheldon was definitely exaggerating. She had spent theentire day with Tobias and apart from answering phone calls, he hadnot done anything else.

When Tobias returned to the theater after finishing his call, the moviehad already ended.

Since they had already bumped into each other, Sheldon had to makeuse of the chance to get a free meal from Tobias and was waiting forhim outside the theatre so that they could go for dinner together.Tobias asked Skylar, “What do you feel like having for dinner?”

As Skylar had not fully recovered yet, she did not have much of anappetite or any cravings. “Anything will do,” she replied.

Sheldon chimed in the conversation, saying, “Men are all afraid to hearthat.”

The influencer lookalike said softly, “I feel like eating Japanese cuisine. Iknow of a good Japanese restaurant nearby which I frequent.”

Only then did Tobias shoot a glance at the woman and asked hisbrother, “Girlfriend?”

Sheldon answered rather ambiguously, “You can say so. Meet mygirlfriend, Hilary.”

Hilary looked at Sheldon reluctantly as it seemed like the man was stillnot willing to proudly admit their relationship.

She extended her hand towards Tobias. With a gentle and warm smile,she said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Ford. I'm Hilary.”

Tobias had no intention to shake hands with Hilary and was behaving inan extremely cold manner. He had already lost count of the number ofwomen Sheldon had and they all looked the same.

Hilary's hand froze in midair awkwardly and she did not know if sheshould put it down or continue holding it there.

Just then, Skylar came to Hilary's rescue. She took Hilary's hand andsaid, “I'm Skylar.”

After that, Hilary could finally put down her hand and smiled at Skylar.After a while, they reached the Japanese restaurant recommended byHilary. The place was decorated with a Japanese style and lookedminimalistic yet luxurious.

When the waiter brought them the menu, Tobias passed it directly toSkylar. Even though there were two other people at the table, Tobiashad no intention to ask for their preferences as to what they would liketo order.

Hilary could clearly feel Tobias’ disrespect and disdain towards her.

As Skylar browsed through the menu, she noticed that even a cup ofwater cost more than ten, not to mention the main dishes.

The only Japanese cuisine she ever had was the handroll sold outsideher school last time.

Skylar held on to the menu and had no idea what to order at all. Shewas screaming silently in her heart, “I'm such a country bumpkin. I don'teven know how to order from the menu!”
