In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 77

When Sheldon saw Skylar checking her bag for a tracker, he put hermind at ease. “Tobias isn't that ridiculous. He was worried about youstaying out alone. Hence, he asked me to come over as I happened tobe nearby. When I asked him why he didn’t come himself, he didn'tanswer me.”

Skylar recalled the angry words she had for Tobias just now. She yelledat him to stay away and not torment her further.

After Sheldon told her everything he knew, Skylar realized the brothers’characters were at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Sheldon liked to talk while Tobias was a man of few words. However,whenever he spoke, it would be to devastating effect.

After dropping her off at the school entrance, Sheldon asked curiously,“What is your relationship with Tobias now? I have never seen him soserious about a woman before.”

As dawn broke, the sky began to brighten gradually. The morning airwas exceptionally crisp and was moistened by the fresh morning dew.In the face of Sheldon’s nosy gaze, Skylar chuckled. “There's norelationship to speak of. We aren't even friends.”

Sheldon shrugged his shoulders. “It's a fact that both of you are acouple. Or else, Tobias wouldn't be friends with a girl your age. You'rejust too young. What would you even have in common to talk about?”Skylar never saw herself as someone young. Whenever she did a test,the results always showed that she had the mentality of a middle-agedwoman.

Sheldon escorted Skylar to the ground floor of her dorm. Heconsidered his duty done only after the dorm manager opened thedoor to let Skylar in.

If not for Skylar, he would probably be sleeping till the next morningafter being wasted from drinking.

Despite being so sleepy that his eyes burned, Sheldon still needed toreport to Tobias at the hotel.

When he arrived, he took the elevator directly to the presidential suite.Upon entering, he couldn't believe his eyes. Tobias was already workingas someone had delivered some documents over at unbelievablespeed.

Yawning, Sheldon teased him, “Tobias, aren't you tired?”

Tobias massaged his forehead as he looked visibly exhausted. He haddelayed a lot of his work because of Skylar.

His work required his personal attention and therefore he was unableto escape.

“Is she safely back?" Tobias raised his gaze coldly.

Seizing the opportunity to take credit, Sheldon described everythingthat happened in detail.

He even added, “If not for me, Skylar would have been taken away bythe group of hooligans.”

Tobias asked, “Where are they now?”

To which Sheldon replied, “In the car. I don’t know what to do withthem, so I decided to ask you.”

He added, “Skylar was at the cybercafé’s entrance when the pink-hairedguy twisted her hand behind her back. Despite being weak, she was stillstruggling vehemently.”

Tobias threw down his pen as tension filled the room.

In the underground basement, Tobias ordered his bodyguards to bringthe hoodlums out of the van.

Pink Hair's leg was still bleeding and his face had lost all color from thepain.

He pleaded in agony, “Please let me go. I'm going to die of pain.”Tobias looked at Pink Hair with disdain while his tone was bone-chilling.“How dare you demand anything of me?”

Terrified of Tobias’ fearsome gaze, Pink Hair begged, “Dear Sir, pleaseforgive us as we were only trying to pick up a girl. Next time, we won'tdare do it again.”

When Tobias raised his hand, his bodyguard responded immediately byplacing a gun in it.

“Unfortunately, there isn't a next time.”

With a pull of the trigger, the bullet landed in Pink Hair's heart.
