In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 548

That man was none other than Marcus Ford, Tobias’ half-brother. Skylar paused for a few seconds in surprise before refusing his request, “There are plenty other empty seats around here, so why must you choose to sit across me like this? Go share a table with someone else.” Marcus flashed her a faint smile in response and sat right where Kate was sitting earlier.

“Are you afraid of someone getting pictures of you having coffee with me?"

Skylar forced a smile back at him. “Why choose to sit here if you already know that, then? It's not like we're close or anything.”

Marcus maintained his devilish smile as he replied, “I didn't come here to start a fight. I've actually been trying to meet you for quite a while now, but never really had the opportunity to. Now that I've bumped into you here, I would like to apologize for everything my sister has done.”

Marcus had a chiseled jawline and a dimple on his cheek, giving him a devilish yet childish vibe.

"Apologize? What has Ingrid been telling you? Also, I don't need an apology for something that has happened so long ago.”

Marcus shrugged. “Ingrid almost kidnapped you in the parking lot that day. She's been spoiled since she was a child and can be very extreme and reckless when it comes to love. I have given her a proper scolding after finding out what she did.”

Skylar had been traumatized ever since the failed attempt at boosting her popularity using her scandal with Harry, and hearing about Ingrid reminded her of that. I wonder if Harry and Ingrid are still together now... Harry has been keeping a low profile lately. He rarely showed up at events and stopped accepting offers for any other film projects after Unrequited Love. I remember Marcus and Tobias being at each other's throats when we were at the airport the other day, so I can't even tell if he’s being sincere with his apology at all...

“Whatever happened in the past should stay in the past, so I don't want to talk about it. Regardless, I accept your apology. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get going.”

Skylar was getting a little anxious as it was pitch-dark outside, and her driver still hadn't arrived.

“You're going back all by yourself? Don't you celebrities always have drivers or assistants with you? What if you run into some bad guy on your way home?” Marcus asked.

Skylar rarely left her house at night, and Hannah was nowhere to be found since five in the evening. In addition to that, the thought of how Charles had kissed her the other day caused her courage to waver even further.

Marcus pulled out the keys to his Maserati and placed it on the table. “You can drive my car home if you want. I'll just send someone over to collect it later on. Either that, or I drive you home instead.”

Marcus sure is thoughtful and polite compared to Ingrid... Heck, he even offered to lend me his car because of how dangerous it is for me to go home alone! Skylar frowned at the thought of that.

“I don't have a driver's license, so I can't drive anyway. My driver will be here soon.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Marcus gave her a funny look like he had just heard the biggest joke of his life. “You're dating Tobias and you don't even have a driver's license? Well, on second thought, it does make sense. There is literally no need for you to have one since you never have to drive anyway. It'll be hard to get a cab at this hour, so I'll just have to send you home instead.” “No, thank you. I can manage this on my own.” Skylar refused his offer directly as Tobias had told her it was okay to say no.

“What are you afraid of? Are you worried that Tobias would mind? If so, then rest assured that he couldn't care less about these things. All he cares about are profits and benefits.”
