In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 57

Tobias’ eyes turned so frosty that Skylar couldn“t help but shudder.What's with this guy? His mood changes like the weather!

Suddenly feeling the air around them become thinner, she carefullygazed at Tobias.

The man swiftly held her by the neck. “You're actually screwing otherguys behind my back, huh?”

Skylar's eyes turned bloodshot. Unable to breathe, she stared straightinto Tobias’ pupils.

As the man let go, she let out a few coughs and panted wildly.

“What the hell did you do that for? It's not what you think! I was clawedby someone! You're a grown adult, and you can't even tell thedifference between a scratch and a hickey?”

In a fit of rage, she chastised Tobias for lashing out at her withoutknowing the truth.

Tobias placed a hand on Skylar's neck once again, but the latterinstinctively moved away, having already been traumatized by what hejust did.

The man’s dangerous eyes narrowed. The mark on Skylar's neck lookedway too vague under the car's dim lighting.

“Take me back. It's already late, and I want to sleep.” Skylar feltagonized.

She realized how unlucky she always was. Nothing good ever happensto me.

Just when I finally decided to have fun during an excursion, thishappens.

At this point, all Skylar wanted to do was to hide in a dark corner whereno one would bother her.

“Take you back? So you can sleep with your male classmate and getcaught?” Tobias's voice sounded more chilly than the night breeze.“Should I sleep in the streets, then? I don't want to freeze to death! Orhow about you let me sleep in your car tonight?”

Tobias told the chauffeur to head to King Hotel.

"That hotel is closed to the public. It's only for staff members,” Skylarremarked upon realizing where they were going.

Tobias cast her a glance. “So you're saying even the boss isn't allowedto stay there?”

Realization instantly dawned on Skylar. She had forgotten who Tobiaswas.

Everything felt like a dream to her now. Why would someone like himbe involved with me, of all women?

He could get any girl he wants with just a snap of his fingers.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Tobias finally took a good look at Skylar'sneck under the dazzling lights. It was indeed a scratch mark.

The manager showed up at the lobby to personally welcome the CEOon his late-night arrival.

Every other staff member on duty did the same, greeting him withreverence.

This was a sight Skylar had never seen before. She kept her head low,deliberately maintaining a distance from Tobias.

Everyone knew Tobias had a fiancée, yet here he was showing up at ahotel late at night.

Who was Skylar to indecently crawl into the CEO's bed?

Tobias didn’t come here often. Whenever he did, though, it would be toaccompany Claudia, and they would use the presidential suite on thetop floor.

With the ring of the elevator, Skylar felt her chest tighten. All shewanted was a place to sleep tonight. She didn't want to come to a hotelwith Tobias under everyone's odd gazes.

After a long night, it was already early morning by the time they arrivedupstairs.

Skylar took off her coat and glanced around. The place looked far moreextravagant than she had thought.

I still have a little bit of money. These words that Tobias had once saidechoed in her mind.

Skylar's arm was revealed to be full of red scratch marks. Not only that,but her lip was wounded, and the corner of her eye was slightly bruised.Tobias held the woman's arm, causing her to use her other hand to pullher sleeve down and cover the scratch marks.

Being ganged up on was nothing to be proud of.

Even so, Tobias had already seen her wounds. His tone turned gentleand comforting to the ears

But if one were to listen carefully, the man still sounded extremelyfrigid. “What happened? Did you get into a fight?”
