In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO -
Chapter 285
The director flashed a courteous yet enthusiastic grin. “It's done. Feelfree to leave with Skylar, Mr. Ford.”
Meanwhile, Harry and his manager, Tyler Lewis, were standingsomewhere nearby. Tyler, who was experienced in the entertainmentindustry, broke out in a cold sweat. “Skylar is Tobias’ chick. This womandefinitely isn't as simple as she seems to be. She's modest and has beenkeeping a low profile.”
Harry seemed to have grown accustomed to such things. “Winnie justcan't stop making a big fuss about getting a rich boyfriend, but Skylar isreally smart in this case. She knows how to protect her reputation andportrays herself as an innocent woman as she makes her debut as anactress. I heard that Tobias isn't a loyal man. How long do you think thetwo will be together?”
Tyler had heard that quite a number of popular female celebrities fellhead over heels for Tobias. However, the man never once had a scandalwith any of them, though he had been in the entertainment industry fora long while.
Previously, Katrina spread rumors about herself being together withTobias, but everyone knew that she was trying to boost her popularity,and her love was unrequited.
Hence, he was mystified by Tobias’ way, as the latter disregarded all
the gorgeous and popular celebrities, but fell for a twenty-year-oldbudding actress. Usually, someone as young as Skylar got into arelationship just for fun.
Meanwhile, Skylar asked Hannah to text her about tomorrow's schedulebefore heading home.
The latter appeared utterly perplexed. Why did Skylar say that she can'tafford to buy the entire crew coffees when she’s in a relationship withTobias Ford? How could she say that she has no money when herboyfriend is so rich? I even thought that she’s single.
Sheldon immediately went after the couple, while Winnie requested herboyfriend to bring her back as well. Nevertheless, he rejected her,saying that he and his brother had some personal matters to talk about,so no outsider was allowed.
“How about Skylar? Isn“t she an outsider too?” Winnie refuted.
Ignoring his girlfriend's protest, Sheldon took the initiative to drive thecar. Tobias sat in the passenger seat, while Skylar was in the backseat.“Tobias, give me another two million, please? You've canceled my bankcards, but I need money to survive,” Sheldon pleaded with a sad face.Despite being on his uppers, he still refused to go to work.
“No way." Tobias rejected him firmly.
Sheldon had never needed to worry about his finances since he was ateenager. Even though the man had been squandering all his moneycarelessly, his brother didn't say a word about it. Now this suddenchange of lifestyle was a living hell for him. He even dared not go to abar like he used to.
He turned to ask for Skylar's help. “Skylar, my dear sister-in-law, pleasehelp me out. Can you bear to see me starve to death?”
Occasionally, Sheldon addressed her as his sister-in-law jokingly, butnow she felt really awkward. Tobias has never shown any desire ofmaking me his wife.
Looking out the car window at the night sky, Skylar replied, “You won'tdie of hunger. I can tell that you're rather strong and can no doubt holdon for a little longer.”
Sheldon felt out of breath as his chest tightened. Since when did Ioffend her? She is such a small-minded lady.
Throughout the car ride, Sheldon never kept his mouth shut. Finally,Tobias couldn't take it any longer and rebuked his brother. “Can youjust shut up? I can see that there's no way I can get you to work. You'llbe managing a bar from now on. We'll talk about money once theoperation of the bar is on track. But you'll have to be responsible for allthe profits and losses of the bar.”
Skylar suddenly had a hunch that Sheldon would treat his friends tosome free drinks if he were to manage a bar.
Despite his reluctance, Sheldon knew that this was the best offer hecould get from his brother.
“Are you serious about your relationship with Winnie?” Skylar asked.
