Skylar pulled the zip of her jacket all the way up as a gush of cold wind blew past. As the woman was not warmly
dressed, she was shivering from the cold.
“I’m already freezing, so stop adding on to my misery,” she replied.
Kai scratched his head and said, “I’ll get you some coffee. I can tell that you’re in a bad mood. Maybe some
caffeine would help to boost your mood.”
Skylar shook her head and replied, “I’m in a rush. Besides, I’ll have to get prepared to be criticized when I get
back.”
Kai could tell that Skylar was just brushing him off. Feeling disappointed, he merely replied, “You are looking more
haggard lately. You’ve lost weight too. If you need someone to talk to, I’m always here for you. You know that my
shoulder is always ready for you to lean on.”
Standing at one side, Hannah could easily tell that Kai had feelings for Skylar. However, Skylar did not return any of

If she were Skylar, Hannah would definitely choose Kai over Tobias. Kai was always bright and cheerful. His
easygoing mannerisms also made it comfortable for others to be around him.
On the other hand, Tobias always had an air of authority to him and was unnerving to be around.
Skylar already expected a storm to be brewing back at the office. Before she returned, the higher-ups had already
received a call, informing them that the woman refused to film that scene and was putting on airs.
Skylar headed straight towards the dance studio when she got back. The trainees, who were all youthful and pretty,
were staying up late to practice their dance moves.
However, Skylar could easily tell that most of those girls had undergone plastic surgery with one look at those high
cheekbones and perfect nose bridges.
Skylar was acquainted with all of them, but none of them could be considered her true friends. That was the way
the entertainment industry worked.
She simply stood at one side and observed their practice distractedly. Kate had given instructions for her to do that
to learn the ropes, as the agency had plans to cut an album for her in the future.
Even though Skylar was a talented actress, she was not that gifted in singing and dancing. When she was in school,
the teachers had also advised her that she wasn’t made to be a singer.
Currently, Kate’s focus was all on Amelia. Kate was a realistic and shrewd woman. Thus, there was no way that she
would pit herself against the higher-ups and defend Skylar. She was just waiting for Valerie’s further instructions.
A while later, Skylar was called into Valerie’s office. She knew that it was inevitable since Valerie had been making
things difficult for her and pushing her as hard as she could.
When Skylar entered Valerie’s office, Valerie showed her a recording of her quarreling with the assistant director at
the film set and chided, “Can you explain this to me? The company had fought for such a good opportunity for you,
but you just had to ruin it.”
Skylar suspected that Valerie had specially gotten someone to film her argument with the assistant director,

“My image had always been an innocent one. Don’t you think it isn’t very fitting for me to remove my pants in front
of the camera? If I’m single, I probably wouldn’t mind following the company’s instructions, but I think it wouldn’t be
worth it if my relationship is affected by it. My boyfriend wouldn’t be happy if I do that,” Skylar answered.
Valerie’s temper sparked as she replied, “Are you using Mr. Ford to threaten me now? I can give you the answer
right away – he wouldn’t mind it at all. Please do not think so highly of yourself.”
Skylar smiled placidly and replied, “Seems like you’re pretty close to my boyfriend, Ms. Fey. You even know his
thoughts so well.”
Valerie was indeed proud of her relationship with Tobias. After all, she had been with him for eight years.
Narrowing her eyes, she raised her hand slightly and fiddled with the beads on her wrist as she replied, “Mr. Ford
knows that I keep having nightmares lately, so he bought me this crystal bracelet. He heard that crystals have
calming properties. After I started wearing it, I stopped having nightmares, but unpleasant people started to appear
in my life, polluting the air I breathe in.”
