Skylar took a sip of the rich and creamy soy milk. “I’m going to do my makeup now. I’m fine with just a

glass of soy milk.”

As soon as she opened the door to the makeshift dressing room, she was instantly greeted by a wave

of chilly air. The air conditioner was on full blast, keeping the room’s temperature at its lowest.

The next moment, she was stunned to see Katrina lying on a military camping cot with a Hermès

blanket covering her body while a stylist was kneeling before her, doing her makeup.

Standing beside Katrina was her assistant, who was holding a bouquet of roses under her request to fill

the room with the scent of it.

Had Skylar not seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have known that those rumors on the internet

about Katrina’s diva behavior were not at all exaggerated.

Katrina opened her eyes at the slight squeak of the door. “Shush! I’m trying to get some rest here!”

Disregarding her insolence, Skylar took a seat at the vanity table, waiting for the stylist to do her

makeup.

When she was done with her makeup, Katrina was still lying lazily, enjoying the scent of the roses.

Skylar thought that her look was ugly today. Her outfit was a combination of red and green, while her

skin was tanned. Although it was a healthy skin color, it had concealed the natural beauty of her glass

skin.

Katrina only came out of the dressing room when Skylar was almost done with her part of the shooting.

Although Daryl had reminded the makeup artist to tan her skin, still, the foundation on Katrina’s face

was a few shades lighter than it was supposed to be. It didn’t take a genius to know that she had once

again disobeyed Dylan’s instruction.

Her skin tone didn’t suit the image of a village girl; instead, it made her look more like a Victorian

socialite living in the city.

Upon seeing Kai, who was standing on the sidelines watching Skylar act, she signaled her assistant to

hand her phone over to him. “You haven’t given me Tobias’s contact number.”

With a deadpan expression, Kai turned her request down. “I’m sorry, but I can’t give it to you. That’s a

violation of privacy. If you really want to get his number, you can always ask from other people.”

Hearing that, Katrina’s face darkened. She knew that even if she were to ask people around her, no

one in her social circle would happen to know Tobias in person since the latter was someone of high

society.

As the day’s shooting came to an end, Daryl called Skylar over to guide her on her acting skills. He

pointed out her weaknesses, saying that she should have more confidence and be more expressive

with her eyes.

He was sitting with his legs crossed while Skylar was standing meekly before him like his student.

Unbeknownst to him, however, her mind had long wandered off.

She was eager to check on her phone in the locker because Tobias, having a change of plans, said he

would come and meet her that day. She was worried he couldn’t find the location.

The moment Daryl let her go, she raced into the dressing room like a horse out of the gate to grab her

phone. To her disappointment, she only saw two app notifications.

Just then, a sudden tap on her shoulder startled her. She turned around to find Kai standing close to

her, his face inches away from her.

“You scared me! What are you doing here?” she asked. The annoyance was clear in her voice.

“I just heard that Jeremy is your ex. Don’t you feel awkward to be cast in the same film with him?” Kai

came to seek verification from her once he heard about the news.

Skylar slammed the locker shut with a clang. “It’s not like I can do anything about it. I can’t possibly tell

the director that I’m quitting, can I?” She rolled her eyes at him internally before asking, “Do you know

any place where I can take a shower? It’s been a week since I last took a shower.”

There was no bathing facility in her room, and there was no running water in the place to begin with.

Every night, she could only clean herself by heating the water in the thermos and pouring them into a

basin.

Since Tobias promised that he will give her pleasure previously, she knew that Tobias would have

intimacy with her when he visits later. It would be embarrassing if she met him with a stinky body and

filthy hair.

It took a while for Kai to respond to the sudden change of topic. He thought for a while before

answering, “Even I don’t have a bathing facility in my room. Why don’t I ask my assistant to drive you to

the county? You can take a shower there.”

His suggestion brought a smile to Skylar’s face. “Thanks. I owe you one. I’ll treat you to a meal next

time.”

“Next time?” Kai said seriously, “Give me an exact date to show your sincerity.”

“When the film shooting ends.”

Kai was satisfied with the answer he got. “I’ll be looking forward to it then.”

Since there was no shooting on her part in the afternoon, Skylar took a ride on Kai’s car, heading to the

county to take her shower. On her way there, she called Tobias several times but couldn’t reach him.
