In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 557

Guessing that she was throwing a tantrum, he had no choice but to go over to Royal Entertainment and try his luck.

Skylar seems to be growing out of her shell and out of my control.

Meanwhile, Susan entered and handed the latest financial statements from the marketing department over to Tobias. Checking her watch, she reminded, “Mr. Ford, you still have ten minutes before the meeting. When I walked past the meeting room just now, I noticed that everyone has arrived.”

At that moment, Tobias remembered that he still had a routine meeting to attend at six-thirty.

Without any hesitation, he postponed it. “Tell them that the meeting has been canceled and they can go home early. There’s something I need to attend to.” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Susan clarified, “However, the agenda of tonight’s meeting is to discuss the demolition of the western district. Do you still want to cancel it?”

Tobias frowned. “Did I not make myself clear?”

Susan nodded in trepidation when she sensed that Tobias was in a bad mood.

It baffled her as to what had caused it as it was rare for him to express any emotion.

Despite it being eight-thirty, the Royal Entertainment building was still brightly lit. There were many reporters lingering at the entrance every day, waiting for a scoop.

Whenever the security guard chased them away, they would scurry away like mice. However, once he was gone, they would return to their positions.

Just when Tobias arrived, he ran into Kate.

Kate’s face lit up when she saw him. “Mr. Ford, are you here to see Skylar?”

Why is she asking the obvious? Given how late it is, does she think I’m here to see Valerie about work?

I’m not that concerned about Royal Entertainment.

Tobias answered, “Where is she? Is she here?”

Kate shook her head. “She’s not here as there’s nothing scheduled.”

Without another word, Tobias turned and left the lobby.

Meanwhile, Amelia was standing beside Kate. When she greeted Tobias earlier, he didn’t respond or even bothered to glance at her.

When she watched him leave, she sighed, “Skylar sure is something. Even Tobias has to come personally to see her.”

Kate then sent Skylar a message but didn’t receive a response. She grumbled, “I really don’t know what she has been up to every day. She keeps leaving her phone on silent and it’s really hard to get a hold of her.”

Giggling, Amelia quipped, “Nowadays, it’s hard to find acquiescent employees like me that will appear at a moment’s notice whenever I’m needed.”

After he returned to his car, Tobias called Skylar again. However, no one picked up still. Feeling frustrated, he placed one hand on the steering wheel and smoked a cigarette with the other.

He then sent her a message filled with question marks.

In fact, he was even worried that she had somehow met an accident.

As Tobias had a habit of being vigilant, he would always consider the safety of those he cared about.

For example, given how obtuse Sheldon was, Tobias would always worry about him getting into trouble or an accident whenever he got drunk.

After getting someone to trace Skylar’s phone signal, Tobias headed to her last known location. If he didn’t see it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe that she was drinking beer and eating skewers with another young man.

The moment he saw her, Skylar was stuffing a chicken wing in her mouth. The man was looking at her with a smile, telling her to slow down or else she would choke.

“Is it delicious?” Skylar thought that she was hearing things.

When she turned and saw Tobias, she froze with the chicken wing in her mouth.
