In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 526

“I'm fine with marrying her since she’s been living with me for a long time now. I want you to find out who paid these people to spread the news. I doubt two pictures are enough to cause garner that much attention. Like you said, Skylar is an artiste in our company, so I shouldn't have to remind you of what to do.”

Tobias cares about Skylar more and more with each passing

day... Valerie lowered her gaze in disappointment and nodded. “Yes, I've had someone look into it last night, but it will take some time.”

Just then, Skylar came in after knocking on the door, and a faint smile appeared on Tobias’ otherwise expressionless face when he saw her. “Wow, it hasn't even been thirty minutes since I arrived and you already know where to find me?”

Despite being incredibly unhappy to see her, Valerie had no choice but to forcefully maintain a smile in front of Tobias.

“I'm not interrupting you two, am 1? I came here looking for Ms. Fey. Kate said I should explain everything to her so the higher-ups wouldn“t lose faith in me,” Skylar said.

She needs Kate to remind her of such simple things? What on earth even goes on in that tiny little head of hers? Does that mean she wouldn't have thought of coming to explain herself if Kate didn't tell her to? I can't believe it... She's actually acting like she’s Tobias’

wife! Valerie thought to herself in disdain, but kept her tone calm and professional as she spoke, “Mr. Ford has told me everything. All I can say is you mustn't let that happen again, especially since you're so close to winning the Golden Eagle Goddess award. You currently rank second according to the votes.”

“I need over three million more votes to beat Sophia. Her votes are twice as much as mine, so it's pretty much over for me,” Skylar replied. Valerie sneered. She's intentionally mentioning the vote count in front of Tobias? What a pretentious b*tch! Does she want that award so badly that she would whine about it to Tobias just because the company doesn't intend on giving her a boost with the votes?

"Seeing as the difference is that huge, why don't you just give up on it? Why bother concerning yourself with something that you know won't end well?” Tobias asked calmly.

Valerie almost burst out laughing when she heard that. Oh my god! Awkward!

Tobias had basically spoken Skylar's mind with what he said. She didn’t want to compete with Sophia whose popularity was the highest in the entertainment industry. Given how loyal Sophia's fans were, Skylar would only worsen things for herself if she tried to boost her votes. Having said what she came to say, Skylar decided to leave Valerie and Tobias alone. She saw the way Valerie looked at Tobias, and it was as if she wanted to strip him naked right then and there.

However, Tobias followed her out of the office, and Valerie's plan to have breakfast with him was ruined just like that. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I can't believe Tobias took the trouble of coming all the way here just because he’s worried that I would pick on her... Talk about being overprotective... Valerie thought to herself as she watched them leave. “I've taken care of things, so you're safe now!" Skylar said half-jokingly. Tobias asked seriously, “Why me?”

Skylar felt confused as she figured he was the one who wished to keep their relationship a secret from the public.

“Never mind! So, why are you so free today? I usually don't see you around here for months on end!” she asked with a smile.

Tobias wasn't sure if she was playing dumb or actually ignorant to the fact that he had come just to help her out.
