In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 548

That man was none other than Marcus Ford, Tobias’ half-brother.Skylar paused for a few seconds in surprise before refusing his request,“There are plenty other empty seats around here, so why must youchoose to sit across me like this? Go share a table with someone else.”Marcus flashed her a faint smile in response and sat right where Katewas sitting earlier.

“Are you afraid of someone getting pictures of you having coffee withme?"

Skylar forced a smile back at him. “Why choose to sit here if you alreadyknow that, then? It's not like we're close or anything.”

Marcus maintained his devilish smile as he replied, “I didn't come hereto start a fight. I've actually been trying to meet you for quite a whilenow, but never really had the opportunity to. Now that I've bumpedinto you here, I would like to apologize for everything my sister hasdone.”

Marcus had a chiseled jawline and a dimple on his cheek, giving him adevilish yet childish vibe.

"Apologize? What has Ingrid been telling you? Also, I don't need anapology for something that has happened so long ago.”

Marcus shrugged. “Ingrid almost kidnapped you in the parking lot thatday. She's been spoiled since she was a child and can be very extremeand reckless when it comes to love. I have given her a proper scoldingafter replaceing out what she did.”

Skylar had been traumatized ever since the failed attempt at boostingher popularity using her scandal with Harry, and hearing about Ingridreminded her of that. I wonder if Harry and Ingrid are still togethernow... Harry has been keeping a low profile lately. He rarely showed upat events and stopped accepting offers for any other film projects afterUnrequited Love. I remember Marcus and Tobias being at each other'sthroats when we were at the airport the other day, so I can't even tell ifhe’s being sincere with his apology at all...

“Whatever happened in the past should stay in the past, so I don't wantto talk about it. Regardless, I accept your apology. Now, if you'll excuseme, I need to get going.”

Skylar was getting a little anxious as it was pitch-dark outside, and herdriver still hadn't arrived.

“You're going back all by yourself? Don't you celebrities always havedrivers or assistants with you? What if you run into some bad guy onyour way home?” Marcus asked.

Skylar rarely left her house at night, and Hannah was nowhere to befound since five in the evening. In addition to that, the thought of howCharles had kissed her the other day caused her courage to waver evenfurther.

Marcus pulled out the keys to his Maserati and placed it on the table.“You can drive my car home if you want. I'll just send someone over tocollect it later on. Either that, or I drive you home instead.”

Marcus sure is thoughtful and polite compared to Ingrid... Heck, heeven offered to lend me his car because of how dangerous it is for meto go home alone! Skylar frowned at the thought of that.

“I don't have a driver's license, so I can't drive anyway. My driver will behere soon.”

Marcus gave her a funny look like he had just heard the biggest joke ofhis life. “You're dating Tobias and you don't even have a driver's license?Well, on second thought, it does make sense. There is literally no needfor you to have one since you never have to drive anyway. It'll be hardto get a cab at this hour, so I'll just have to send you home instead.”“No, thank you. I can manage this on my own.” Skylar refused his offerdirectly as Tobias had told her it was okay to say no.

“What are you afraid of? Are you worried that Tobias would mind? If so,then rest assured that he couldn't care less about these things. All hecares about are profits and benefits.”
