In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 388

With that said, she sipped the tea and took out her phone to hand it toTobias.

Skylar's name was trending. Ever since the public found out she wasgoing to be one of the main characters of Empyrean Sword, there hadbeen an uproar on the internet.

In fact, the netizens began digging for information as they tried to replacean explanation for why she could get such a great show at a young age.Most of them were talking about how she must have had a relationshipwith Maverick Sullivan.

They were saying that Maverick was her sugar daddy.

Curling his lips, Tobias commented, “They've got quite the imagination.Maverick's already six feet under, but somehow, he's still someone'ssugar daddy.”

Tobias rarely bothered himself with news of the entertainment industry,and Mavericks death had not been anything major.

That was why Skylar paled and asked, “Did you have anything to dowith Mavericks death?”

He did not disagree with her as he smiled. In a nonchalant tone, hereplied, “Of course he had to die, but don't feel guilty about it. I justdon't like the sight of him.”

Skylar could not replace the words to describe what she was feeling. Shecould only grit out, “He was wrong to molest me when he was drunk,but that doesn't mean he deserves to die. Tobias, how could you becruel?”

The smile was still on Tobias" face as he replied, “Cruel? This isn't cruel.I'm just cleaning up trash. Moreover, this has nothing to do with you.Don't get yourself all sensitive and think that Maverick died because ofyou.”

Skylar's brows drew together. “He laid a hand on me when he wasdrunk previously, but you're telling me his death has nothing to do withthat? He doesn't deserve death for that.”

Tobias only sighed. “So you'll just let your bullies off the hook? He hiredsomeone to stalk you. He found out about our relationship and tried toblackmail me. Truthfully, I don't mind it. After all, the exposure of thisrelationship won't affect me, and reputation matters not to me.However, I hate others threatening me. I hope you understand what Imean.”

Tobias felt that he was already patient in his explanation. Whether ornot Skylar would overthink the matter was none of his business.

After hearing him, Skylar nearly shrieked. Maverick’s insane. He reallywas pushing his luck by threatening Tobias.

Before the man left, he reminded, “Be smarter when I'm not with you.Tell me right away when you receive those messages and stay awayfrom Harry. I'm starting to get sick of repeating myself. Ingrid is a toughwoman, so it's best to keep a distance from her man. I actually came totell you about this, but I don’t know why we ended up talking aboutMaverick.”

Skylar shrugged, about to leave after taking her bag. She, too, wasworried that disaster would come if she could not explain herrelationship with Harry.

Skylar forced herself not to think about Maverick, for Tobias had toldher that Mavericks death had nothing to do with her. However, shecould not help but wonder, If not for me, how would Maverick everencounter Tobias.

Deep down inside, she was afraid that she would end up in hell.

Before Tobias’ words, she never thought that Tobias had anything to dowith the matter; she always thought Kai had been the one to do it.Tobias was right. It was time for her to be smarter. She then messagedher assistant, Hannah, asking her to buy some supplements that helpedwith boosting brainpower.

After her afternoon tea, she returned to the office. Tobias had notchosen to return with her, and Skylar knew why—he wanted to avoidthe public from replaceing out about their relationship.

In their relationship, Tobias was the one who wanted to conceal theother party.

Just as she stepped foot into the office, she spotted Winnie andSheldon in the lobby. Recently, the two of them had been goingeverywhere together. Knowing that Winnie was in a relationship withSheldon, the staff in the office were careful around her.
