In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 32

Skylar almost choked on the rubbery piece of beef in her mouth, so shewiped her mouth with her hand.

“See? I didn't lie to you. Skylar is really here.” Jeremy immediatelyspotted Skylar amongst the crowd.

Avery thought that Jeremy was pulling a trick on her and was just tryingto strike up a conversation with her. But to her surprise, what he saidwas true.

Actually, Jeremy only knew that Skylar was in the cafeteria after seeingthe photo she shared on her social media.

Avery then reminded Jeremy, “Don't ever mention that she’s my sisterin university. She's an embarrassment.”

Unable to grasp the situation, Jeremy scratched his head. “Isn't Skylarquite pretty too? It's just that she's not as pleasant.”

Avery sneered coldly. “Pretty? I think you might need some glasses.Anyway, go and replace out why she is here. What kind of university isthis? Don't they have any standards when accepting students?”

With a shrug, Jeremy was just as confused as Avery was.

Skylar looked at the two of them whispering from a distance, andinwardly lamented her fate of running into them.

I don't know what's more pathetic — Jeremy simpering like a fool infront of Avery or me spying on them.

However, seeing the two of them made Skylar's face cloud over.

After Avery left, only then did Jeremy dare to come over and talk toSkylar.

It was obvious that Jeremy worshiped Avery like a goddess.Unfortunately, Avery was always blowing hot and cold, so Jeremygradually realized how good his ex-girlfriend was.

“Don't forget our farewell dinner. Meat fondue tomorrow night.”Skylar picked up her meal tray, preparing to leave. “I don't haveAlzheimer's, so I remember it clearly!”

“Okay. By the way, Avery wants me to tell you not to tell anyone inuniversity that she's your sister.”

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Skylar took a deep breath and said,“Why do you listen to whatever she says? If I had known that theperson I was giving my all to save was a dog, I wouldn't have been sostupid that I turned my life into a mess.”

Jeremy looked slightly angered. “Who are you calling a dog? Skylar,wasn't your life a mess, too, even before you were with me? With abackground like yours, you can't replace anyone other than me to acceptyou.”

The corners of Skylar's mouth twitched slightly as he was right. Beforeshe met him, her life was not any better either.

If she hadn't been taken in by her grandmother, she would have diedon the streets due to the cold or hunger long ago.

She was taken in in the past and was now being kept as a sugar baby.“Hey, are you free? I'd like to invite you to dinner!” Skylar tapped on thebedroom wall nervously.

In the meeting room, the silence was so heavy that it was suffocating.Holding their breath, everyone waited for their CEO to finish his call andcontinue the meeting.

“Probably not. Why are you suddenly asking me out for dinner?”Tobias got up from the head seat and left the meeting room.

“I just wanna thank you for taking care of me all this while.” Skylarfound that the reason she cooked up was so fake that she almostgagged

"You have less than two hundred left. Is that enough to treat me todinner? I'm a picky eater.”

With the phone held between her shoulders and ear, Skylar found theblack card Tobias left for her earlier. “The card you gave me isn't fake,right? I could just swipe your card.”

“Ill let you know again tomorrow,” replied Tobias.

Before she could answer, he had hung up the phone. Initially, shethought that it was due to a poor signal and asked if he could hear her.Tobias had overestimated her when he said that she had two hundredleft. Truthfully speaking, she had already reloaded all her savings ontoher meal card

She wondered when Lady Luck would shine down on her and give her asupporting role so that she could at least fend for herself.

Provided that Tobias let her go.

A melodious ringtone of the Titanic theme song broke the silence inthe bedroom at midnight.

Waking up groggily, Skylar grabbed the phone and answered it withher eyes still closed.

“I'm free tomorrow. Send me the location.”
