In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 303

At the same time, Tom couldn't help but sigh. How long will she be ableto keep up with that innocence? There is a high possibility she wouldfall for the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.

After completing the interview, Skylar politely bowed to Tom. Then, sheturned and bowed to all the staff present and thanked them for theirhard work.

By doing that, she had successfully boosted her already positive imagefurther.

Kate entered the dressing room shortly after. Skylar had alreadychanged out of her dress into jeans and a hoodie. She looked a far cryfrom the goddess that she was just moments ago.

When she heard the sound of heels clicking against the marble floor,she deftly asked about her performance earlier while taking off anearring. “Kate, how did 1 do?”

Kate gave her a praising look. “You did better than I expected. You heldTom Reyez's undivided attention the whole time. He couldn't keep hiseyes off you at all. You have a certain charm that is irresistible to men.No wonder Tobias is so taken in by you. You have a captivating starethat is spellbinding.”

A hint of sadness lingered in Skylar's eyes when she heard Tobias"name. Kate had overestimated me. I'm not that important to Tobias. I'mjust a plaything that he could summon and dismiss at his will. The manis terrifying.

He could perhaps be described as manipulative, even. One day, hecould make you feel like the happiest woman in the world and the next,an abandoned woman, leaving you without a trace. There was nothingyou could do except to wait for his return.

Though at times, it seemed like he was waiting for Skylar to take theinitiative to contact him. However, most of the time, it seemed like hedidn’t want to be disturbed. She never had a say in this game of his.People tend to be vulnerable during nighttime. Skylar was wallowing inself-pity when Kate reminded her that her phone screen was flashing.Tobias’ name entered her vision

Kate reminded, “Take note and remember to change his name. You willneed to be careful in public as people will intentionally take photos ofyour phone screen. It will be difficult to guard against.”

“I'm done with my work. Where are you?” Tobias’ deep voice came fromthe phone speaker.

Initially, Skylar wanted to tell him she was done with her work too. Aftersome deliberation, she said, “My schedule is pretty tight today.”“Alright then.” With that, Tobias ended the call. Skylar gripped thephone dejectedly as if she was expecting something else.

Kate, having experienced a similar situation, noticed Skylar's

anguish. She was still a young lady, after all. So, she wore her heart onher sleeve.

She mercilessly exposed Skylar's little trick. “Playing hard to get onlyworks for hot-blooded teenage boys. It doesn't work for men likeTobias. You should take the initiative more.”

“We'll see how it goes. We are both busy with our matters. It's quitegood this way.”

Kate didn't say anything else. Skylar could only play according to thechoices she made. In her heart, she knew that she and Tobias would notmake it far.

To most people, Tobias gave off an aloof vibe. He did not belong toanybody, only to himself.

On the way home from work, Skylar wondered whether he would comeover tonight. Every time he contacted her, he would appear at home.His voice telling her that he could see her every day would reverberatearound her ears at any time.

It was only sweet nothings. How many times have I told him not todisappear out of the blue? I don't ask for much. A message from him tolet me know he is there would be enough to make me feel secured!Tobias might have promised me when I said so. Still, he failed to keephis promise.

Skylar didn't want to be the inferior party. She felt like she could nolonger keep up with him.
