In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 561

When Skylar didn’t come up after a long time, Tobias took a peek fromthe top of the stairs. He saw her lying on the sofa while playing with herphone.

To him, it was as if she was addicted to her phone and would go crazy ifit was taken away from her.

“It's getting late. Shouldn't you be in bed?” He urged, cognizant thatSkylar was avoiding him

Without even looking, Skylar continued surfing TikTok. “I'm not sleepy.You don't have to wait up as I'm still busy.”

Given how brazenly she had ignored him, Tobias snatched her phoneaway and flung it onto the sofa.

Before she could react, he picked her up and pressed her against thecoffee table.

As he gently kissed and nibbled her on her neck, she felt the cold fromthe table pierce her skin. However, the burning sensation from hisbreath somehow kept her body warm.

His hands made quick work of her pants and threw them behind thesofa. After that, he unbuttoned his own and unzipped it in haste.

As there was no avoiding the inevitable, Skylar looked at the ceiling indespair. She was filled with conflicting emotions, as both lust and thedesire to refuse him dueled against each other.

“Be gentle...” she uttered meekly.

“Mmm-hmm.”

Caressing her slender thighs roughly, his actions became gentler as hegradually moved upward.

“Here or upstairs?” Tobias asked when he saw her grimacing. Given howhard the coffee table was, it was no different than having her lay on topof freezing cold marble.

“Upstairs...” she replied softly. She had sat up and wrapped her armsaround Tobias’ neck, waiting for him to carry her up.

As the sun shone on her face, she gradually opened her eyes andrealized she was covered by a blanket. Rubbing her eyes, she saw that itwas already eleven and Tobias was no longer beside her.

She assumed Tobias had already left as he was too busy to sleep in withher.

Recently, Skylar had a lot more free time. Other than a few commercialshoots and a reality show, she didn’t have much else on her plate. Katewas also busy screening through scripts so as to replace her a new urbandrama to act in.

The scripts that Kate had shortlisted revolved around office romance.After going through them, Skylar couldn't come to a decision.

Yawning as she walked down the stairs, Skylar was surprised to seeTobias still there. After all, she had woken up at eleven. By the time shebrushed her teeth and washed her face, it was already past twelve.“Don't you have to go to work today?” The moment she asked, Skylarrealized her question was redundant. As the boss, Tobias could workwherever and whenever he wanted.

Tobias replied, “I don't feel like it. So, I'm taking the day off.”

Taking a sip of milk, she nagged at Tobias, “When are you leaving?”Tobias furrowed his eyebrows. “What? Are you upset that I'm here?Why are you chasing me away? What is your plan for the day?”

Skylar squinted her eyes. “I'm not chasing you out. You can stayhowever long you like. I'm going over to Uncle Wesley's house. Hecalled early in the morning and I have no idea what he wants.”

Tobias didn't know what to say in response. From his perspective, themere mention of Skylar's relatives meant trouble.

After all, Skylar and her uncle never met for chatters. Worried that herrelatives might cause Skylar trouble, Tobias decided to tag along.Before she went over, Skylar didn’t think much of it since the incidentwith Kevin's game credit reloads had been resolved.

Nevertheless, she knew it would definitely not be Wesley expressing hisgratitude by inviting her over for a meal.
