A hint of displeasure flashed past Skylar’s face when she heard that. No woman would like to know that her man
had bought a gift for another woman, no matter how valuable that gift was.
“Since I’ve breached the contract, I’ll be responsible for the damages and won’t let the company suffer any losses. I
hope that in the future, you can be more careful when arranging jobs for me. It doesn’t matter if my career is
affected by the frequent breaches of contract, but it wouldn’t be desirable if others think that our agency doesn’t
manage its artistes well. Besides, some might even speak poorly of you, Ms. Fey.”
Valerie could tell that Skylar was a smart woman who had good control over her emotions. She had tactfully
managed to use the company’s reputation to threaten her. It was also obvious to Valerie that Skylar was not
pleased with her close relationship with Tobias, but she did not mention a single word about it.
With a scornful smirk, Valerie replied, “You do know that you’re risking your future in this industry, right? Since we
can make you a success, we can also bring you down easily.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar shrugged nonchalantly and said, “Well, doesn’t matter to me. I don’t see much potential in myself currently. I
only know that my days won’t be easy as long as you’re around.”
After Skylar decided to speak openly about the situation, Valerie replied coldly, “Not everyone has the right to be
picky. Don’t assume that you will be successful just because you are pretty. You still have a long way to go. If you
continue to be so greedy, you might end up with nothing.”
Before Skylar turned around and left, she said, “I’ll remember you’re teachings, Ms. Fey. Thanks for your kind
reminder too. I’m sure I’ll get everything I want in the end. I have nothing much to do now and have all the time to
wait for good things to come to me.”
The woman heaved a sigh of relief as she walked out of Valerie’s office. At the same time, the forced smile on her
face disappeared at once. Even though she was unsure previously, after that encounter, she could confidently
conclude that Valerie’s attitude towards her was because of love turned into hatred.
Skylar knew that she had done nothing wrong. Her only mistake was that she had unknowingly snatched Valerie’s
man.
Valerie and Tobias had worked closely together for many years, and no one, apart from the both of them, knew the
extent of their relationship.
If it was just Valerie’s unrequited love towards Tobias, she must be quite a sentimental woman.
Skylar did not get to see Kate before she left the company. According to Hannah, Kate had accompanied Amelia to
an audition for a drama that was also set in the ancient past, with time travel as the theme.
Hannah thought that Kate was being too realistic and could not help but feel unjust for Skylar.
However, Skylar was hardly bothered by the situation. “It’s a fact that I do not have any jobs now. I can’t expect
Kate to wait around for me, impeding her own development.”
While Skylar was digging for her keys when she reached home, someone opened the door for her from the inside. It
was a kind-looking and chubby middle-aged lady. She was wearing an apron and smiling warmly at Skylar.
“Ms. Jones, you’re back. I’m the new housekeeper, Madelyn. By the way, you’re so pretty! You truly are a good
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmatch for Mr. Ford.”
Faced with Madelyn’s warm welcome and enthusiastic greeting, Skylar felt a little awkward as she was not used to
having another person at home.
Her first thought was that Tobias was sick of her cooking, and as such, he waited no further to find them a
housekeeper.
“Where is he? Is he back yet?” Skylar asked. When she bent forward to remove her shoes, Madelyn knelt down to
help her with them.
Shocked by the new housekeeper’s enthusiasm and excellent service attitude, Skylar quickly retreated a few steps
and said, “I can do that myself. You can carry on with whatever you were doing. I’m fine here.”
Madelyn replied smilingly, “Ms. Jones, you don’t have to be so courteous towards me. It’s my job to serve you well.
Mr. Ford had instructed that I take good care of you as you have a weak body.”
Skylar took a few more steps back and was almost out of the door as she replied, “There’s really no need for that. I
can do that perfectly fine. I’m actually really healthy, Madelyn. He’s just overly worried.”
