Skylar’s patience was something Kate admired about her. Unfortunately, Tobias didn’t satisfy her
requests.
She was signed under a small agency that belonged to the Ford Group, but a sudden fee increase
offended Tobias.
She was now in an awkward situation.
“I have a commercial shooting that you can try. It is for MM Beans. If you accept the offer, you can go
for the casting interview tomorrow. We still need to wait for Daryl’s movie because the post-production
after filming will take quite a while. You don’t have any outstanding work at the moment, so you can
only wait for now. This leaves a commercial shooting being the best chance for you right now because
it allows you to be flexible with your time,” Kate said as if giving handouts.
“Send me the location and time for tomorrow’s interview. I’ll go.” Skylar didn’t reject, despite it being a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsmall offer. She understood that a minor role was still a job nonetheless.
Kate really liked Skylar since she was easily satisfied. She would have put more effort into Skylar if it
weren’t for her own benefit.
She had given this commercial deal to Amelia before, but she didn’t want it as the products were not
high-end. Amelia aimed to be the representative of only high-end brands.
They were interrupted by Kate’s phone at least five times during their discussion.
Kate sent the address to Skylar. She was afraid of accidentally deleting the message, so she starred it.
The rain had stopped, and the night air had a refreshing after-rain scent. Skylar zipped up her hoodie
as the temperature dropped.
She didn’t want to go back to the hotel so early, so she just took a stroll along the river.
She reached a crossroad that was near a hospital after a while.
She didn’t want to go there. That place was a nightmare for her, mainly because she was slapped and
humiliated in front of bystanders.
In the end, she decided to try her luck, unable to withstand it further. Tobias did mention in the
afternoon that he would be at the hospital at night.
She stood at the entrance of the Cardiology Department and called Tobias on his phone.
Tobias quickly came out from the ward. He was dressed in casual wear as he planned to stay the night,
and he just finished showering.
Skylar smiled as soon as she saw him. Her perfect smile and chiseled face attracted a lot of attention
and left a long-lasting impression on others.
“What brings you here?” Tobias beckoned for Skylar to come over to his side.
“I was taking a stroll outside and reached here eventually. How’s your mom?”
“She’s fine. The surgery’s tomorrow. It’s late for you to be strolling the streets alone. Go home early.”
Skylar didn’t mention Kate’s problem to Tobias. She had assumed that he couldn’t be bothered to be

“I’m leaving now, go back in,” she advised.
Tobias noticed that it was almost half an hour to midnight, so he was worried about letting her go back
alone.
He asked Skylar to wait for him and that he would be back soon.
Skylar took a seat on the bench in the hallway. Tobias had changed into jeans and a round-neck
sweater.
The majority of the clothes he wore were in dark tones, as if his life were colorless.
Tobias wanted to send her home, but Skylar shook her head and rejected his offer. “I can just call a
cab,” she assured.
Tobias was silent briefly, but in the end, he insisted to send her back to the hotel.
Before she got off his car, he passed a set of keys to her. The keys were for a house near their place,
so she could let Miranda stay there.
However, Skylar didn’t want it. Tobias has no obligation to care for every minute detail about my mother
after all.
