In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 22

When Skylar walked into the house, she saw Tobias sitting at the long table. The air was thick with silence in the living room, and only the sound of newspapers flipping could be heard.

Unwilling to greet Tobias, Skylar planned to go straight upstairs.

“Stop right there. Where did you go so early in the morning?” The man’s deep voice was heard coming from behind.

Skylar turned around. “I went to have some croissants as I was hungry.”

“You didn’t buy me some when you went out to have breakfast on your own? How stingy.” Tobias put down the newspaper and glared at her.

Speechless, Skylar said grumpily, “I didn’t know you eat store-bought croissants. I thought the rich always eat like, I don’t know, sourdough bread?”

 

It just so happened that Laura came out of the kitchen with fresh piping hot breakfast on the tray – sundried tomatoes, sauteed spinach, turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, and yes, sourdough bread.

Skylar raised her eyebrows. “I’m afraid that you’re not used to eating something as simple as croissants. Anyway, I’m going back to sleep. Talk to you later.”

 

“Why did you let her go out to get breakfast? What’s the point of me hiring you?” Tobias chided Laura as soon as she came out.

Laura hurriedly explained, “I didn’t see Ms. Jones when I woke up this morning. I’m sorry, Mr. Ford.”

Skylar then chimed in, “I woke up too early, so I went out to eat. Isn’t this very normal? Why the fuss?”
