In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 49

Everyone fell silent.

Suddenly, Lydia came forward. “Why do we girls have to deal with this,Mr. Duggan? None of us wants to share a room with her.”

Even Skylar's heart of steel was increasingly unable to handle thedreaded feeling of being treated like an outcast.

In the meantime, Mr. Duggan was in a bind.

“Can I have my own room, then?” asked Skylar.

Mr. Duggan gave it a thought. “We don't have that many rooms. Thereis, however, an empty slot in the men’s commercial room. Why don'tyou take that?”

Skylar's face instantly darkened.

Am I not human? Why am I being treated this way?

Then, Harry stepped forward. “I'll share a room with Skylar, Mr.Duggan.”

Everyone stared at Harry, dumbstruck and believing he was taking onefor the team.

Skylar was at a loss for what to do.

Well, in any case, Mr. Duggan will be right next door. Harry can't doanything unruly to me.

Thus, she agreed. “I'll share a room with Harry, then. Lynn can have herown room.”

With that, Lynn clutched her chest in relief as though she had justevaded a bullet.

Skylar had accidentally touched her hand a while ago, and the lattercouldn't wait to disinfect herself.

Skylar didn't have much of a choice. If I don't share a room with Harrytonight, I won't have anywhere else to sleep.

After putting her belongings down, she unlocked the room door andfelt relieved upon realizing there were two separate beds.

During their buffet dinner, Skylar sat alone in a corner. She had onlygrabbed some shrimp omelet, spicy chicken, and a serving ofvegetables.

Meanwhile, all the other students were busy taking selfies and laughingtheir hearts away.

They would also steal a few obscure glances at Skylar from time totime.

Skylar felt desolate compared to all the liveliness around her.

Then, Harry came over with his food and sat across Skylar. He tried tostrike up a conversation with her but couldn't seem to do so for somereason.

Ultimately, it was Skylar who spoke up first. “Thanks for what you didback there. You were kind enough to spare me a bed. I wouldn't havecome if I knew this would happen. I didn’t think everyone hated me thismuch.”

“It's not that you've ever pissed them off or anything. Have you notseen the campus school forums?” Harry felt so sorry for her that hecouldn't help but bring this up.

Indeed, Skylar knew nothing. She didn’t even know how the otherstudents knew her or the fact that they had been looking at herpictures.

Pictures of her kissing someone had spread across many chat groupsby now.

Skylar shook her head. “What forum? I know nothing about such things.Is there some big news? Well, I don't really care anyway.”

Ever since she learned that Avery was voted as the “goddess who onlyappears once every three thousand years,” Skylar no longer wantedanything to do with the forums. She figured that Avery had bought allthose votes for herself.

Avery didn’t look particularly ugly, but she certainly was no nationalbeauty, let alone a once-every-three-thousand-years kind of beauty.Not daring to get straight to the point, Harry picked up his plate andleft, but not before advising, “You should take a look anyway. There arelots of stories about you.”

With that, Skylar whipped out her phone and opened the schoolforums. Lo and behold, the very first thread was about her.

Freshman student Skylar Jones seduces a married man and works as asugar baby! Are her morals that loose, or is the temptation of moneytoo much for her to handle?

Skylar read every single word on the headline.

Before even tapping into the thread, she felt her head spin uponnoticing it contained thousands of comments.

The young woman had never expected to become the talk of the townin such a way.
