Skylar shot a few curious glances towards them. Without her noticing, Kate sneaked up behind her.

She followed Skylar’s gaze and said simply, “That girl is Sheldon’s girlfriend. The two of them have

been getting along very well recently, and he keeps dropping by to visit her. That’s why the other

trainees suck up to her so much.”

Skylar understood the hidden meaning behind her words. No wonder these girls were hanging around

her!

Frankly, Skylar thought the girl looked like an average online influencer.

How did she steal the heart of a notorious playboy like Sheldon? She probably has some sort of hidden

talent.

Sheldon probably liked her the same way Tobias liked Skylar for her unquestioning obedience.

However, it wasn’t something Skylar particularly enjoyed doing—rather, she couldn’t hold herself back

from doing so. After all, she owed Tobias too much.

The filming crew dropped by to sign the final contract with her. Skylar was a little disappointed to see

that her pay was slightly below one million.

Kate was exasperated. “I can’t believe you’re hesitating! This figure is practically unheard of for

newcomers in the industry. Besides, this is your first drama. You have to climb the ladder slowly.”

However, with this measly salary, Skylar wondered how long it would take for her to gather enough

cash to smother Tobias.

Even his watch cost more than her entire salary for this drama. They were truly worlds apart.

She picked up the pen miserably and signed her name on the dotted line.

This contract also required the signature of the CEO. Thinking that it was Tobias, Skylar flipped quickly

to the last page. However, the signature there belonged to Valerie instead! Skylar slumped back

against her seat.

Kate knew exactly how she was feeling. “Mr. Ford has transferred his decision-making power to her.

He’s way too busy to bother with Royal Entertainment now.”

Skylar had met Valerie once. She was awe-inspiring, not unlike the suave, self-assured Kate herself.

Tobias seemed to like surrounding himself with powerful, talented women.

He didn’t return to the flat for the next few days. Skylar hadn’t seen him ever since he went home for

dinner with his mother—or rather, she hadn’t seen him since she brought up that uncomfortable topic in

the car.

Did I scare him off? As the endless possibilities swirled around her mind, Skylar felt her heart sink

miserably.

She had called Tobias twice during the time he refused to return to the flat. He answered both times,

but their calls had never lasted for more than thirty seconds. He always said he was busy.

In the end, Skylar gave up on calling him. Anyway, filming for the new drama was going to begin soon,

and she didn’t want her emotions to affect her work. Besides, there was no use being too enthusiastic

towards a man.

However, Tobias wasn’t one to fall for this sort of behavior. If she didn’t bother to contact him, he might

just continue ignoring her for an indefinite amount of time.

While the filming crew set up the shooting set, Skylar posted a photo of her on set for the first time in

her life.

It was the result of a three-hour painful discussion between the makeup artists and stylists.

Kate had a very clear vision of what Skylar’s image should be. She wanted the latter to dazzle

everyone with her beauty the moment she stepped into the limelight.

“You’re beautiful, sweetheart!” Kate exclaimed as she looked at her, loading Skylar with effusive

praises.

“Thanks…” Skylar forced a smile onto her face. They had put her in a dress that was so red it looked

as though it was on fire, and she didn’t like it one bit.

She was the only one who was dressed so formally. Naturally, she stole the attention on set, but the

gaudiness of her dressing and makeup gave everyone the impression that she was desperate to stand

out among the crowd.

She stood quietly next to Harry as they waited for the crew to finish setting up. Next to each other, the

duo looked like the perfect couple.

Harry was a very chivalrous guy. When they took a photo together, he let his hand hang limply in the air

instead of draping it over her shoulder.

Kate and Harry’s manager, Tyler, stood in a corner. Both of them were busy scrutinizing their own artist

with their arms folded.

Tyler observed, “Your girl is pretty good-looking. As long as her acting isn’t too terrible, she’ll gain quite

a lot of fame immediately. See how well the two of them look together! In fact, the company has been

meaning to make a couple out of them.”
