Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 152

Katrina blinked her pretty eyes and replied, “I think you’re the one who needs to get your nose checked

out. Make sure to wash your hands well before we start shooting! I don’t want my on-screen good friend

to be all oily and gross.”

Pollyanna ran her fingers through her hair, too frightened to say anything.

Skylar’s impression of Katrina was getting worse by the minute. It wasn’t because she stole the role of

the lead actress from her, or because of the rumors surrounding Katrina and Tobias.

Rather, it was because of the awful way she spoke to this child. There wasn’t a shred of decency in her

voice at all.

Skylar ignored her. She took Pollyanna’s filthy hand and bent down to smile at her. “I’ll buy you some

bread, alright? Do you want to have some soda with it?”

Hearing that food was on its way, the tension finally disappeared from Pollyanna’s face. She nodded her NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

head frantically.

Katrina remained rooted to her spot, frowning slightly. She turned to her assistant and ordered, “When

we’re shooting our scenes together, make sure to check that she has washed her hands thoroughly.”

Her assistant nodded. Inside, she was complaining about how picky and capricious Katrina was. What a

difficult person she is to work with!

Skylar led Pollyanna to the only sundry store in town. The interior of the shop was completely dark when

they stepped inside, and Skylar was sure she could smell something rotting.

The cabinets and shelves looked old and dusty. Skylar looked at the snacks on the shelves and felt a

little put-out. Most of them are probably past their expiration date.

Before she bought some bread for Pollyanna, she made sure to take a good look at the expiration date

written on the plastic packaging. They were still three days away from the expiration date. Skylar

muttered a prayer of thanks and paid for the bread.

Pollyanna ripped open the packaging and wolfed down the bread. Evidently, it had been a long time

since she had a full meal.

In fact, Pollyanna reminded Skylar of herself a long time ago, back when she was still living with

Miranda.

Back then, they lived a hand-to-mouth existence. Miranda had fallen into a depressive state over her

failed marriage with Thomas. In fact, she never got over it.

She couldn’t even be bothered to prepare meals for Skylar. Most of the time, they were reduced to eating

stale croissants at home. Later on, when Skylar was sent to live with her grandmother, Meredith had

called Miranda all sorts of names and blamed her for taking out her anger on Skylar.

Skylar didn’t have many memories from her childhood, but sometimes she thought that was a good

thing. Having a bad memory that was too powerful could cause unnecessary pain.

Skylar sat on a huge rock and said to little Pollyanna, “Chew slowly. Don’t choke on your food! I’ve even

bought you soda—here.”

A bright, youthful voice rang out from behind her. “Children shouldn’t be drinking soda.”

The voice belonged to a man who was wearing an army-green jacket and a shirt with the logo of the

navy in it. He was wearing a pair of black loafers on his feet.

He was a very handsome young man, and he looked even better when he smiled. He was very well put-

together, but unlike the pretty boys who were gaining fame on social media these days, he had a manly

air about him.

Skylar replied, “She doesn’t get to drink it that often.”

Pollyanna nodded timidly at the man.

He smiled and replied, “That won’t do either. Are you here for the shoot? I’m Kai. I just arrived.”

Skylar had seen his name on the list of actors. Kai was playing the role of the male lead in this film. No

wonder he was dressed in such a peculiar manner.

Kai’s smile was bright and full of self-confidence. Skylar could tell that he had grown up overseas,

probably in a more liberal country.

She said, “I’m Skylar, and I’m here for the shoot, too. I’m your future wife.”

Realizing how strange that might have sounded, she quickly corrected herself and introduced herself as

the supporting actress.

Kai looked at her, and something flickered in his eyes. Very sweetly, he gushed, “What was the male lead

thinking? Why did he go for the lead actress when there’s a beauty like you around?”

Skylar stood up and dusted off her pants. As she straightened out her clothes, she said, “The lead

actress is way more beautiful than me.”

However, Kai was adamant. “I’ve seen Katrina before, you know. She isn’t really as beautiful as people

say she is. Anyway, it didn’t leave much of an impression on me.”

Skylar muttered to herself, “How picky can you get!”
