Winnie, however, did not get the hint. She continued lamenting, “I’m losing fans like crazy! Everyone’s

saying that I’m a terrible person. All I did was try to boost ratings and make the show a success. Skylar

agreed with me! Now she’s turned around and backstabbed me without caring about how the company

looks. She’s so selfish!”

In a stern voice, Valerie replied, “Enough. I don’t want to hear another word from you. Mr. Ford and I

have work to discuss.”

Winnie froze. Relying on her relationship with Sheldon, Winnie arrogantly retorted, “Ms. Fey, how can

you say that? Don’t you care about me? Can you really stand by and watch your artists behave

maliciously without doing anything?”

Tobias grinned at Winnie. “What’s going on? Tell me, then.”

The woman paused, realization dawning upon her. Tobias doesn’t know what’s going on! That must be

why he didn’t take me seriously at first.

Winnie recalled Sheldon having once told her offhandedly that Tobias liked Skylar because he found

her innocence enchanting.

Sheldon had also emphasized that Tobias didn’t like women who were complex and manipulative,

particularly those domineering and career-driven ones.

Winnie fished for her phone, then played the episode for Tobias to view. The number of viewers had

now climbed to a staggering few hundred thousand.

Tobias finally caught a glimpse of Skylar being wickedly doused by Winnie’s buckets of water. Skylar

looked rather delicate when she was soaking wet, rubbing her eyes as if in extreme discomfort.

However, she soldiered on bravely until the end of the episode.

Beside Tobias, Winnie was chattering on. “This was all for the show, of course. Afterward, Skylar

privately went to get several verified accounts on Instagram to slander me by saying that I had done it

intentionally.”

Valerie swiftly tried to rescue Winnie. “It was just acting. Besides, the ratings this week were excellent.”

Tobias, however, remained silent as he watched the entire episode to the end. He then turned towards

Winnie, his gaze unfathomable.

Winnie, interpreting his silence as agreement, continued to denigrate Skylar.

As she spoke, Tobias reached for a cup of hot tea that was still steaming on the desk beside him. He

looked intently at Winnie, then raised his cup.

The stream of hot tea soon cascaded down Winnie’s head and back. Fortunately, the tea had been left

to cool for a while – the woman would certainly have been scalded if otherwise.

As the last drops of tea trickled down Winnie’s face, she gaped with mute horror at Tobias.

“It’s just acting. Don’t take it to heart,” Tobias said cheerfully. His eyes, however, were venomous.

Looking at the dazed look in Winnie’s eyes, Valerie reflected that the woman’s outstanding talents and

looks were surely nature’s way of compensating for her lack of intelligence.

Otherwise, how could she not have had the patience to wait just a little while longer before condemning

Skylar? Had Winnie totally forgotten that Tobias was sweet on Skylar?

Before Tobias left, he solemnly reminded Valerie to look after Skylar. It didn’t matter whether she was

popular; he didn’t want her to be put under too much pressure.

Valerie naturally had no objections and was bent on showing Tobias her newest marketing strategies.

Tobias waved Valerie’s enthusiasm aside dismissively. “I’ll leave matters in your capable hands. Other

than anything concerning Skylar, you can inform me of everything else via email.”

Valerie nodded, privately envying Skylar of her good fortune.

Tobias sauntered out of the office only to find Winnie squatting in the hallway outside, sobbing into her

phone. “I didn’t do anything wrong! Why is everyone out to get me?”

His’ towering figure loomed over her. Realizing that he was next to her, Winnie hastily raised her head

to look at him, still sniveling.

In an unhurried manner, he informed her, “There’s no use you crying to Sheldon. He won’t be able to

do anything for you.”

Winnie wiped her face on her sleeve. It did nothing much to improve her tearstained face and swollen

eyes.
