In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 18

Of all the benefits that she could enjoy, what caught her attention themost was that the employer would pay for the employee's tuition andliving expenses for four years of college. A breach of contract wouldrequire the employee to compensate the employer with thirty millionfor emotional distress.

“If there's no problem with it, you can sign on the contract now,” Tobiaspiped up and took out a pen.

Instead of signing, Skylar put down the contract. “What a psycho. Whydo I have to sign this contract? I'd rather work as a garbage collectorthan sign this crap.”

“I suppose no one would dare to recycle the garbage you've collected,”Tobias said composedly, knowing that she would reject him

And they said a woman's heart is vicious. Men can be as vicious as wellonce they set their minds on something.

Nonetheless, Tobias was not in a hurry for her to sign the contract.Thus, he leisurely got up to his feet and went over to the counter to geta coffee.

At the same time, Skylar thought about the contract long and hard.

She was aware of her situation now—penniless and homeless, like astray.

If she were to disagree, given the man’s stubbornness, she wouldn'tknow how she would be threatened by him again.

There was no escape this time.

Without much choice, Skylar picked up the pen and scribbled hersignature on the contract.

She had thought that would be it. But to her surprise, Tobias picked upthe contract and tore it to shreds in front of her eyes when he cameback.

“I'll print a new one for you. Your handwriting is too ugly. You even gotyour name wrong."

Skylar's little game was ruthlessly exposed.

At this moment, Tobias’ phone rang. “I gotta go,” he said afteranswering the call.

“Is your fiancée checking in on you?” Skylar mocked. “Are you trying tomake me a homewrecker?”

That seemed to take Tobias by surprise as he didn't expect Skylar to beso well-informed about Tanya

“It's a little complicated, but you're not a homewrecker as long as I'mstill single,” Tobias said.

How she wished for Tanya to discover her sooner so that she could endthings with him.

No sooner had Tobias left than she was picked up by someone to aluxurious villa at International Garden.

The villa was lavishly renovated, which was pretty much expected sinceit was located at International Garden.

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Jones,” a female housekeeper greeted, thenushered her to the second floor. “This will be your room from now on,Ms. Jones. Just call me anytime if you need anything.”

As compared to being homeless, Skylar was grateful enough to have aroof above her head.

She opened her suitcase that contained only a few seasonal clothes andtoiletries.

This was all she had. She simply tidied up a little and hung the clothesin the closet.

Skylar heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the empty closet, reckoningthat Tobias probably wouldn't be living with her.

Feeling lonely and desolated, she switched on the TV to have the soundaccompanying her.

Since Meredith had passed away, she would usually switch on the TVwhen she was alone. Though most of the time, she wasn't aware of thecontents of the programs.

She had only wanted to listen to the sound, as though someone wastalking into her ears and would usually drift off to sleep with the TV stillon.

“May we have Thomas Jones to the stage for the ribbon-cuttingceremony?”

Skylar's heart thumped when she heard Thomas’ name from the TV.The last time she had met him was when she was still in middle school.That was when Meredith had told her to reach out to him when shecouldn't afford her school fees for high school.

With the memory fresh in her mind, Skylar still remembered that it waspouring that day.
