In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 546

Thinking Skylar was unhappy about her texting which had affected herlevel of productivity at work, Hannah quickly shoved her phone into herpocket.

“It's all right, I guess. I mean, he’s a great guy! He'll be coming over tovisit me this month because of a delay in his job!” she replied with a shysmile.

Most online relationships tend to end badly the moment the couplemeets up in real life, and Hannah's inability to take care of herappearances isn't helping... She doesn't trim her eyebrows, she knowsnothing about makeup, and she’s always wearing glasses with thoseridiculously thick lenses! Oh, and don't even get me started on thosebaggy clothes of hers! As much as I hate to say this, I doubt she caneven get any man interested in her looking like this! Skylar couldn'thelp but worry at the thought of that.

However, she decided to not shatter Hannah's confidence in herself asit was possible that her boyfriend didn’t care much about appearances.Upon arrival at the restaurant, Skylar went up to the second floor andsaw Molly waving at her with a smile on her face.

Skylar had given Penelope the address, but she didn't show up andwasn't replying to her messages, much to Skylar's chagrin. She didn'tknow what she had to do to help Penelope pull herself together.Despite having grown up in the same neighborhood, Molly and Skylarweren't all that close and had lived very different lives.

As the waiter served up the food, Molly began talking about stuff thathappened during her childhood. There was even a hint of envy in hereyes as she said, “You looked as cute as a doll when you were a child,and everyone in the neighborhood absolutely adored you! Heck, mymom is still complimenting you to this day! That's crazy, right?"Skylar's thoughts were all over the place. Molly's probably justdesperate for attention or something. Everyone knows how sh*tty mylife used to be! Back in the neighborhood, Penelope was the only kidwho didn’t avoid me like I was some kind of plague. After all, I am thedaughter of a murderer living off my grandma’s pension! You'd have tobe crazy to envy me!

Molly's smile broadened as she continued, “I'm glad we're in the samecompany, Skylar! I used to feel lonely at times, but at least I now haveyou to keep me company. I'll probably be needing your help a lot in thefuture, so I hope you don’t mind! I mean, besties help each other out,right?”

Skylar stuffed some food into her mouth absent-mindedly and flasheda faint smile at her. “I'm very busy and rarely head over to the office, soI wouldn't be able to help you out much.”

Molly noticed the look in her eyes and knew she was being a little toopushy, but she had to boost her popularity to stand a chance at gettingthe lead role.

If the rumors are true about Skylar and Tobias being close, then Ishouldn't have anything to worry about!

Noticing the awkward tension, Molly took a sip of her tea and said witha smile, “Come on, let's not talk about work when we finally get sometime off. My mom has been feeling down lately because she thinks mydad is cheating on her, so I don't really feel like going home so soon.Let's spend a bit more time here!”

Skylar remembered how Molly's dad used to be very famous in theneighborhood for his handsome look as well as how loving he was withhis family. On top of that, he was wealthy and fashionable with hisperms and bell-bottom pants, which made him popular with the ladiesin the area.

Grandma used to tell me how pretty Mom was in her younger day.According to her, Mom had tons of suitors back in the day, includingMolly's dad. However, Mom made a bad decision and picked my dadinstead of Molly's. I bet life would've been great if she picked Molly'sdad instead! Alas, people tend to be blinded by love until marriagegives them a wake-up call.
