Skylar could still hear the faint sound of a woman crying in her sleep. Initially, she thought that she was dreaming.

She was finally awakened by the sound that was growing louder.

Without any hesitation, she walked out of her room and hid at a blind spot that could not be seen by both Lina and

Tobias. She cupped her hand over her mouth when she witnessed how Lina tried to lure Tobias shamelessly.

She mocked herself for being innocent and overconfident. It was unexpected of her to see such a great change in

Lina. In her opinion, Lina was still her old self during her school days. Little did she realize that she had turned into

such a scheming woman. Skylar only had herself to blame as she had given Lina a chance to take advantage of her

since she was too soft-heartened to reject her request. She finally saw Lina’s true colors and her heart sank at how

she had deceived her.

After a while, the living room was back to silence again after Lina was dragged away by the driver. Skylar moved

back to her room and lay down in her bed again quietly. What a show! If Tobias did not reject her firmly just now,

there would certainly be another scene!

The next morning, Skylar woke up early as planned. She was surprised to find Tobias gazing at her with his

bloodshot eyes. It seemed that he had stayed awake the whole night by her side!

Stretching out her arms, she told Tobias, “I’m going out for the group photo session. Why did you wake up so

early?”

Tobias placed his palm on her forehead to check her temperature. To his relief, the temperature was back to

normal again. How nice! she is young and tends to be stronger and recovers quickly.

He looked at her sternly. “You need to rest today. You’re not going to go anywhere.”

Skylar insisted, “I’m fine. There won’t be any problems for me. It’s compulsory for everyone to turn up for the

session.”

When she started to select clothes for her photo session, Tobias could only give in to her. Before she stepped out,

he handed her the box of medicine and reminded her gently, “Remember to take your medicine after your lunch.”

Skylar suddenly felt that it was actually a blessing in disguise for her when she was not feeling well. Tobias seemed

to be exceptionally gentle to her under such circumstances.

She mumbled deliberately, “Where is Lina? Has she left for work?”

Tobias smiled meaningfully and replied sarcastically, “You really don’t know? Or, you’re just pretending so you can

see my reaction?”

Skylar was stunned and asked sheepishly, “Why did you say that?”

Tobias raised his brows and chuckled. “I thought you have witnessed everything last night? How dare you ask me

that? Didn’t you see how your friend was trying to throw herself at me shamelessly? I don’t understand why you

just remained silent and did not come down to my rescue. Now, you’re even being pretentious by asking me such a

ridiculous question!”

Skylar’s cheeks were flushed red. The man is too smart. Does he have a pair of X-ray eyes? How did he find out

that I was hiding somewhere and saw everything? This is really embarrassing!

She shrugged her shoulders and replied, “What’s the point for me going downstairs? It would be really

embarrassing. Do you wish to see two women having a scuffle in front of you? Certain things are better handled by

men. I’m glad that you manage to make her move out. I really don’t know how I could tell her. Anyway, I’ve been

kind enough to her all this while, so I won’t be feeling sorry for her.”

Tobias complimented Skylar silently when he sensed that her mindset had gradually changed. It is actually a good

sign. She has finally realized that others will not give a hoot about her and only think of taking advantage of her if

she continues to be submissive. My girl has finally grown up!

Skyler looked tired and a little pale as she was sick last night. When she reached the studio, the makeup artist shook

her head at the sight of her pale lips. She gasped, “Skylar, did you have a sleepless night? You look terrible! Your lips

are so pale!”

Skylar glanced at her own reflection in the mirror and told the makeup artist, “Choose the lipstick with a brighter

color. I did not have a good rest yesterday as I was not feeling well.”

“I have given you such a long break, yet you still didn’t get enough rest? Look at your current state, how are you

going to start working again? I’m here to tell you that there’s a shoot for you tomorrow. It’s a guest appearance in

a movie.” Valerie’s voice could be heard from behind.

Everyone there stood up to greet her courteously. She was indeed one of the brightest rising stars on the

management team.

Skylar glanced at her with a frown. “What a last-minute notification. Do I need to get anything prepared? Is that the

kid’s program again?”

Valerie narrowed her eyes and sneered, “I’ve never come across any artist who is as fussy as you. Based on your

current status, you don’t have any right to choose what you do. No matter how much the company has invested in

you, you still get a low rating of C in the grading system. Do you know that the others are envious of you and claim

that the company is biased toward you? Thus, you should be thankful for any arrangements made for you. You just

need to play your part well by following the instructions. If I were the manager who brought you to this line, I would

surely give you two slaps to wake you up!”
