In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 31

Tobias may not understand, but I do.

Skylar subconsciously thought of Tobias, so she quickly rubbed herhead to erase the man's face from her mind.

“Skylar, your shoes are so nice. Where did you buy them? I would liketo buy one for myself too.”

Skylar lowered her head and glanced at her shoes in confusion. “Areyou deliberately taunting me?”

She knew the girl who spoke was Lydia as Anna had introduced her toher.

Seeing how Lydia was unable to hold back her smile, Skylar certainlywouldn't believe that she sincerely thought her shoes looked nice.Then, Lydia glanced at Shailene, who was holding her arm, and the twoof them smiled at each other. “No, of course. We really like your shoes.Where did you get them?”

“I got them on eBay at an extremely low price. Is there a problem? Areyou satisfied with the answer?” replied Skylar.

She deliberately raised her leg and showed the outsole of her shoe toLydia right in her face.

Backing away, Lydia said in embarrassment, “Hey, watch where you'regoing with that! How can you be so uncivilized?”

When Skylar was a child, she was raised like a boy and often got intofights with other kids, so she often acted like a tearaway.

Later, after she met Jeremy, she suppressed her nature and wanted tobe a good girl in front of him. She even kept her hair long for him as hesaid that he liked girls with long hair.

But now, she did not care anymore. She had grown to understand thatpeople often took advantage of others’ kind-heartedness.

Having met all sorts of people before, she put up a facade and replied,her voice becoming hypocritically gentle, “Oh, I'm sorry, Lydia. Sinceyou like my shoes so much, I just wanted you to have a closer look atthem.”

Lydia glared at her angrily, but the other students were coming downthe stairs, so it was appropriate for her to lose her cool on the spot.Instead, she walked up to Skylar and hissed, without moving her lips,“Don't be too full of yourself. Just look at your pathetic self. No one willback you up even if you're bullied.”

When Skylar was selling drinks at Elysium, she had seen all kinds ofcruel people. Moreover, she had a Devil by her side now.

Hence, she knew no fear, except the fear for Tobias.

Afterward, she walked around the campus and saw many constructionworkers on an empty plot of land near the cafeteria. A hoarding wasalready erected around the land.

"Did you hear? Tobias Ford, the CEO of Ford Group, has funded a newcafeteria for our university.”

"Oh wow, our dean is quite impressive. I didn't think that he could asksuch a wealthy man to invest in the university.”

“Yeah, but unfortunately, the top golden bachelor is about to getmarried.”

Skylar overheard the other students talking about the new cafeteria andfroze when she heard Tobias’ name.

Thinking of the fact that Tobias funded the construction of the cafeteriafollowing her re-admission, Skylar was not sure if these two things wererelated.

It was simple — she did not think that she was so valuable to Tobias.Holding the newly issued meal card, she got herself a beef sandwichand salad at the cafeteria.

She wanted some meat as Laura always cooked vegetables the wholetime she stayed at the villa

“Look, look! That's Avery. Wow, she’s even prettier in person.”

“It's no wonder she’s named the prettiest freshman. I really envy her.Not only does she come from a good family and have a pretty face, butI heard that she also has a good personality and always helps herfriends.”

“She's, after all, the daughter of Thomas Jones, who came here as aspeaker a few days ago, still looking so handsome despite his old age.”Skylar followed the gaze of the two girls sitting at the table next to her.Then, she saw Avery and Jeremy walking into the cafeteria together.

At that moment, Jeremy had also very gentlemanly helped Avery tohold her Hermés bag.
