In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 157

Lisa replied, “She's just an ordinary girl in her freshman year of college.If she had connections, she would have been chosen to be the femalelead from the start. One of the crew members saw Kai leaving her roomthis morning though.”

Shocked to hear that Kai's name, Katrina grinned and said, “No wonderSkylar was so brazen just now. Turns out she has hooked up with theson of a tycoon.”

Lisa then said in doubt, “Skylar probably doesn't know much about hisbackground. Not many people in the crew know either.”

Katrina scoffed. “Come on, she’s already sucking up to him. Do youactually think she doesn’t know who he is? I'll organize a dinner partytonight to replace out.”

After they wrapped up for the day, she invited the whole crew for adinner.

The happiest person in the group was Jeremy, who kept showeringKatrina with praises for her generosity. He tried hard to butter up toher, but she merely took him as a nobody.

Skylar put on some light makeup and changed into a white loose-fitting t-shirt matched with a pair of skinny jeans

She had brought a lot of old summer wear with her, and it was onlynow that she realized she had a lot of t-shirts with cartoon prints.

In the past, she used to love such clothing, but she now thought thatthey were childish.

One of the t-shirts had a print of Tom and Jerry. Jerry was holding a bigblock of cheese, while Tom was drooling as he watched on.

Skylar checked herself in front of the mirror for a long time before shefinally left, but there were still no messages on her phone.

To receive a message from Tobias the first thing after she finishedshooting for the day was what she hoped for every day. Even an emojiwas good enough for her.

When she went downstairs, she saw a black Mercedes-Benz covered ina thick layer of dust. It was as though the vehicle had been abandonedin the parking lot for a long period of time.

Suddenly, the window rolled down. “Hop in. I'll take you there. Youdon't need to take the bus.”

The man turned out to be Kai.

Skylar held on to her leather bag anxiously and stammered, “I-I willtake...”

Before she could finish speaking, Kai opened the car door for her. Assoon as she got in, she felt relieved by the stream of cold air from theair-conditioning.

“I watched your acting today. You are really talented, and you're a lotbetter than an acting school graduate like me,” he said.

Kai, who was sitting in the passenger's seat, turned back to look at her.As soon as he laid eyes on her, he was captivated by her cute and sweetlooks.

“I attended the acting school too,” Skylar emphasized

Kai smiled. “I see. Do you enjoy meat fondue by the way?”

She noticed that he was deliberately trying to make small talk so theywouldn't feel awkward in the car.

Nevertheless, she did not pay much attention to him since she wassitting alone in the back seat. Instead, she took out her phone to checkif she had received any messages from Tobias.

Skylar: I'm on my way to have meat fondue. Have you eaten?

She stared at the screen for a while after sending the message, butthere was no reply.

Seeing how dazed she looked while holding her phone, Kai asked herwith a smile, “Are you waiting for messages? From your boyfriend?”Skylar was taken aback by his question. Is my expression that obvious?She nodded and said, “Yup, boyfriend.”

Kai's expression turned slightly sour as he let out a sigh. “I thought youwere single. Having a boyfriend before you make your big debut wouldaffect your career,” he said.

Skylar didn't bother to rebut his statement since she was generally nota very ambitious person

Meanwhile, the crew was impressed when they reached the restaurant.It turned out that Katrina had booked the whole place for their dinnerparty.

After Kai went into the restaurant, Skylar stood at the entrance to checkher phone again. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw an unreadmessage.

Tobias: I'm still busy. Haven't eaten yet.

Tobias’ message put a smile on her face as she was relieved that hewasn't being cold to her anymore. Just a few simple words from himmade her feel warm and closer to him.

On this sultry summer day, heat radiated in the air while the sound ofbuzzing cicadas and people's chatters filled the county streets.

Skylar typed her reply to Tobias while she walked towards therestaurant.

Skylar: I won't bother you then. We can chat later tonight.

The smile on her face widened as she saw him typing back.
