In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 210

Skylar quickly defused the situation when she saw how offendedMiranda was. “I was just kidding, Mom! Wait here while I go get youthose ribs, okay?”

She decided to ask for directions to the cafeteria at the counter andoverheard the nurses chatting excitedly.

“I heard Tobias’ mom has just been admitted into our hospital today!We've got cardiologists from all over the world over here! Did you seethe flowers outside the Cardiology Department? It's crazy!”

“The lives of the wealthy are worth more, I guess... I bet the director isstressed out of his mind after accepting such a high-profile client!”“My friends from the Cardiology Department told me how handsomeTobias is. I can't even imagine how many women he's slept with! It'ssuch a shame that he’s already got himself a fiancée, and a pregnantone at that!"

The two of them were so carried away with their conversation that theydidn’t even notice Skylar standing there.

The news hit her like a freight train and left her devastated.

So Tanya is still sticking to him like glue, huh... Tobias said he'd takecare of things with her, but when? After Claudia’s surgery?

After replaceing out the directions to the cafeteria, Skylar took the elevatorto the first floor.

Ding! The sound of the elevator doors opening was followed by a deepmale voice.

“Where are you going?” Skylar looked up and saw Tobias standing infront of her.

After a brief exchange of glances, Skylar quickly looked away as sheexplained, “My mom called for me. I wasn't following you or

anything!” Considering how suspicious he is, I've got to explain myselfclearly or he'll get the wrong idea and think I'm following him! Well, Iguess I can't really blame him for being so paranoid. Given his position,he’s probably dealt with all sorts of liars on a daily basis! The naiveyoung boy who would readily believe everything people tell him is longgone!

“Yeah, I know. I saw you hiding behind the pillar when I arrived earlier.”Skylar gasped. And here I thought I did a great job at hiding too!

“Why didn't you come to say hi to me, then? Was it inconvenient foryou to do so?” she asked as she continued walking in front of him, thetwo of them not more than two feet apart.

Tobias didn't bother holding back and replied honestly, “It is indeedinconvenient at the moment. Don't worry, we'll have plenty moreopportunities in the future to get you two properly introduced.”

Oh, wow! Gee, thanks for assuming that I was trying to suck up to yourmom, Tobias!

Tobias followed her all the way to the cafeteria where she boughthoneyed pork ribs, BBQ ribs, and a Caesar salad.

Skylar didn't really know what Miranda's favorite food was. All sheremembered was seeing her come home drunk as a skunk all the timewhen she was a kid. The memories of her mom laughing and crying onthe floor like a madman still haunted her to this day.

Before Tobias was able to reach for his wallet, Skylar had already paidfor the food using her phone.

I'd better learn to pay with my phone too, or she'll always beat me tothe bill! I know she rarely uses the Black Card I gave her, so she'sbasically paying out of her own pocket. That stubborn girl...

That thought left him feeling uncomfortable as he believed men shouldpay for their women.

“Have you taken your lunch?” Tobias grabbed her by the wrist when hesaw her hurrying off.

Her face is pale, her lips are cracked, and yet that hasn't stopped herpretty face from getting the attention of every guy in the cafeteria!
