In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO -
Chapter 325
Intrigued, Penelope asked, “What has she been up to? She has gonemissing for a long time and hasn't contacted anyone.”
Skylar replied honestly, “She is a masseuse now and is just as beautifulas always.”
The moment Penelope heard the word “masseuse,” she snorted outloud.
“How did she end up becoming a masseuse? It seems there's no pointin studying hard. I remember she used to be very good in her studies,and many of the boys in class fancied her too.”
Penelope's words reminded Skylar that Lina did have a lot of admirersthen.
But, she had ignored them as she wasn't interested in boys her age.Skylar corrected her, “She's a legit masseuse, so don't get the wrongimpression. What's wrong with her using her hands to make a living?”Penelope shrugged. Skylar thought, who doesn’t have to work for aliving? Even Penelope has to work hard to ensnare Brayden.
After both of them finished their meal, Lina called Skylar out of theblue, giving them a shock.
Speak of the devil.
Lina suggested having afternoon tea to which Skylar readily agreed.She even decided to bring Penelope along. After all, she had beenadvising Penelope to get more exercise given that she's pregnantinstead of staying sedentary all the time.
After Skylar got the bill, she checked her phone and didn't see anyunread messages.
With that, she casually put her phone back into her pocket.
When Penelope finally met up with Lina, she looked at her with disdain.She felt that Lina's hands were filthy from massaging countless men.Meanwhile, Lina was disappointed when she didn't see Tobias. Come tothink of it, it does make sense. There's no way someone as busy as himwould be by Skylar's side all the time.
“I didn't expect you to be pregnant as I wasn't aware that you weremarried.” Lina stared at Penelope's baby bump.
Penelope declared proudly, “My man is just too busy. Once I have givenbirth, we will have our wedding. I'll remember to send you an invitationthen.”
Skylar was stunned by Penelope's response. Brayden wasn't evendivorced yet, and here she was planning their wedding.
Lina looked at Penelope enviously. “It's good to settle down, unlike me.Until now, I still don’t have a boyfriend. Skylar, I suppose you and yourboyfriend have been going out for a long time now.”
When Skylar heard the word boyfriend, her lips twitched in response.She had also once assumed that she was Tobias’ girlfriend.
She replied ambiguously, “Not very long. I don't even remember whenwe started.”
Penelope laughed. “Skylar, don't be modest. Tobias is smitten with you.Even Brayden told me about how special you are to him. Who knows,you might even get married before I do.”
Skylar froze briefly as she was surprised at how much faith Penelopehad in her relationship.
However, Lina hung her head in disappointment. She never had thechance to interact with Tobias despite her colleagues suggesting thatTobias treated her differently. After all, he would give her a huge tipevery time. Does he really not have any feelings for me?
As they continued to chat, Lina kept talking about Skylar. Penelope hadkept count of the number of times she mentioned Tobias’ name whichwas more than five.
She then gazed sharply at Lina. “Why do you seem to talk as if youknow Tobias well?"
Lina replied sheepishly in front of them, “We're not that close. But, hehas been nice to me.”
