Skylar knew that she shouldn’t add fuel to the fire. If she went head-to-head with Tobias, things could

very well get ugly.

She nodded. “I understand, I won’t ask you again. I’m fine with whatever you say.”

Tobias reached out to grab her hand. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have used that tone.”

Skylar’s lashes fluttered. “I understand where you’re coming from. It’s not easy being trapped in

between. It’s my fault that your mother doesn’t like me. I really do have a poor background. My

neighbors used to say that I’d have trouble marrying in the future and that my in-laws would scorn me,

even my children won’t be able to live with their heads held high.”

Tobias heaved a sigh, then lifted her chin and gave her a peck on the lips. “It has nothing to do with

you. Why are you overthinking it? I don’t choose my partner based on their family background or

whatnot. I can make up for everything that you lack.”

Daryl had caught wind of Tobias’ visit to the film set.

Hence, the first thing he did was look for the man. When he saw Skylar and Tobias together, he was

visibly stunned.

Before Skylar went to get ready for filming, Tobias whispered something into her ear, making her blush

furiously and scurry off after that.

They already had a wild night in bed yesterday, but Tobias was insatiable, eager to have another

lovemaking session tonight.

After Skylar left, Daryl asked out of curiosity, “Mr. Ford, are you very close to Skylar?”

Tobias replied blandly, “She’s my girlfriend. This is her first time acting in a movie, so do take good care

of her.”

Daryl was dumbfounded. He never thought that someone with no background like Skylar had Tobias

Ford as her backer.

He couldn’t help but think that she was being too low-key. If she revealed her relationship with

Tobias, the female lead role would never have been snatched away by Katrina.

He couldn’t fathom why Tobias did not provide Skylar with extra resources when he could do seemingly

impossible things with only a snap of his fingers.

Even the producers would cower upon hearing Tobias’ name and would never insist on casting Katrina.

Daryl quickly answered, “I didn’t know Skylar was your girlfriend, Mr. Ford. Don’t worry, I’ll take good

care of her. She’s very talented in acting and is a fast learner too. She’s also very smart and…”

“Mm, I know,” Tobias interrupted him, obviously not bothering to engage in a conversation.

In Tobias’ eyes, everything Daryl said was unnecessary flattery.

Within a single afternoon, word of Skylar’s relationship with Tobias spread among the crew like wildfire.

Everyone started to look at Skylar differently.

Katrina was distracted during the shoot in the afternoon, frequently having to retake her scenes. The

rumors about her and Tobias were all ineffectual now.

Before Tobias visited today, there were some people who thought she was acquainted with him, but he

did not even give her the time of day when he was here earlier.

Katrina was livid at becoming a laughing stock for everyone, and she blamed it all on Skylar.

After wrapping up for the day, Skylar went back to her room to look for Tobias with a thermos flask in

her hand.

Upon her return, Tobias closed his laptop and put it aside.

“What are you wearing?” He scanned Skylar from top to bottom.

She was wearing army green overalls with a caramel-colored short-sleeved inner shirt that had Mickey

Mouse designs on them. It was an odd combination, not to mention rather childish.

Skylar looked down at her clothes and tugged at her sleeve awkwardly. “What’s wrong? Do I look bad?”

Tobias’ gaze on her was gentle as he ordered, “Be more confident. Change out of it.”

Despite being judged for her fashion preference, Skylar kept silent and deduced that Tobias probably

found her appearance childish and completely lacking in femininity.
