Skylar had built a high tolerance toward criticisms because of Tobias—almost everything he said was
insufferable.
Hence, she was able to stay calm. “Of course you can. Just let me know beforehand so I can prepare
myself mentally.”
Tobias wanted Skylar to find security within herself, to grow stronger, so he played along. “How long in
advance then? Does a minute before count?”
“Hmm. At least three days, I reckon. Three days should be enough for me to pack up and move out. I
can’t be staying there after getting dumped, right? I’m not the type that would drag things out.”
“Alright then. Deal!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTobias’ response made Skylar grit her teeth. Everything he said gave him the necessary leeway in case
something went wrong.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Skylar threw the blanket over Tobias’ head right away and
asked him to stay there.
But instead, Tobias took off the blanket and went inside the washroom.
Kate stood at the door without going in and scanned the room. “Did you asked for room service? I’m
not used to seeing your room so tidy. It was such a mess. I have told you many times to always keep
things tidy. A messy room can affect your good fortune.”
Skylar responded with a nod.
Truth be told, Kate was there to rush Skylar as she was almost late for the shoot.
So, Skylar forwent doing makeup and immediately left, wearing a mask. The scene that day was going
to be intense as it involved stunt wires.
The last time she did that, the wire snapped halfway through the shoot and she was traumatized.
Skylar would still be in the hospital, or even dead, if she had not asked the crew to add more cushions
as a safety precaution.
While she was doing her makeup, Skylar kept yawning, causing the makeup artist’s hand to shiver and
almost stuck the eyeliner right on her eyeball.
That day, Largo and Avery appeared on set together, not bothered with what others might say.
Look at her happy face. She must feel like she’s officially Largo’s girlfriend right now.
Skylar approached them and greeted Largo with a warm smile on her face.

Largo gave Skylar a profound look, remembering what Avery said about her. He felt pity for her as she
was a newcomer but was already involved in those unsightly affairs.
“Let’s have a private moment. I need to run through the script with you,” Largo said.
Skylar did not think much of it and followed Largo to the bamboo forest set. Even though they weren’t
in their costumes, Largo’s facial features still very much resembled that of a swordsman’s.
“I have something to ask you, but I don’t know whether you’re okay with answering them.” Largo’s
smile was gentle and irresistible.
“Fire away, Mr. Zeller. I’ll tell you as long as I know about it.” Skylar smiled.
“Please don’t get mad when you hear what I have to say.”
Skylar raised an eyebrow after hearing that. What’s going on?
“I know you’ve gone through a lot to snatch Avery’s role from her… “
“Mr. Zeller,” Skylar interrupted. “What are you talking about?”
