Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 156

Meanwhile, Daryl tested his loudspeaker, but the interference of sound waves created a sharp buzzing

sound.

He threw the loudspeaker on the ground in an irritated manner, and his assistant quickly brought a

replacement for him.

After he got a new loudspeaker, he announced, “Things Of The Past—scene five. Action.”

Skylar started running through the lines in her head. She maintained a calm composure the whole time.

She had attended numerous acting classes so performance anxiety wasn’t an issue.

Tobias was her only source of anxiety then. Whenever she was with him, she would feel nervous.

During the acting scene, Skylar grabbed Katrina’s arm, and just as she was about to say her lines,

Katrina pushed her away in disdain.

“Katrina, what are you doing? Why did you push Skylar away? The two of you are supposed to be good

friends during this scene. No conflict whatsoever,” Daryl exclaimed.

Katrina patted her sleeve on the spot where Skylar touched with her.

“My arm is itching badly. Skylar, could you go and wash your hands?” she said.

Skylar opened her hands to reveal her sparkling clean palms. She had taken a shower right before she

left the house and she could still smell the fragrance of soap on her hands.

However, Katrina’s contemptuous tone made it sound as though her hands were full of germs.

Upset by the two actresses, Daryl interjected, “What’s going on between the two of you? Why are you

talking about washing hands in the middle of the scene?”

While Katrina was still feeling agitated and uncomfortable, Skylar insisted, “The cleanliness of my hands

does not affect our scene. It’s not as if I’m the male lead and we share a kissing scene.”

She did not make any compromises despite Katrina’s darkened expression and her status as a

newcomer.

Daryl then told her, “Go and wash up. We can wrap up early if we manage to complete this scene.”

Seeing how everyone was against her, Skylar had no choice but to give in even though she did nothing

wrong.

She reluctantly went to wash her hands, and when she returned to set, the makeup artist was touching

up Katrina’s makeup. Despite the brief disruption on set, she appeared more relaxed than everyone else

there.

Skylar made a rebound quickly as she showcased her acting skills. She executed every facial expression

and detail perfectly, making Katrina look like a newcomer in comparison to her. In fact, the several

blunders that happened during the scene were made by Katrina, not Skylar.

Everyone on set knew of Katrina’s reputation in the industry. She was well-known for simply being a

pretty face.

Besides her attractive looks, there was nothing good about her acting skills. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

If Daryl had the say as the producer, Katrina would not be the lead actress in this film.

After the first scene was completed, he did not hold back from praising Skylar’s performance. “Your

acting is pretty good and versatile. Those who are not in the know might even think you are a veteran in

the industry.”

Skylar responded frankly, “I’ve played a couple of minor roles before.”

“Those don’t count. The real beginning of your career starts here with me. You don’t have an agency yet,

do you? Are you thinking of signing a contract?” he said.

Recalling how Tobias had told her not to sign any deals, she shook her head and said, “I haven’t thought

about it before since I haven’t graduated.”

Daryl was surprised by her response. He had taken the initiative to offer her a deal, yet she turned him

down.

So he tried to persuade her by saying, “Right now, you’re only getting minor acting roles without an

assistant or agent. Sign a contract with my agency, and I promise I’ll make you famous in three years or

less.”

Skylar was undoubtedly tempted by Daryl’s offer. It was a great opportunity to make a name for herself.

Nevertheless, she still chose to listen to Tobias and declined Daryl’s offer, “I’m in no rush to become

famous. We can bring this up again after this film becomes a hit.”

Katrina watched them from afar and wondered what they were discussing since Daryl’s expression was

exceptionally friendly.

I’m playing the female lead. Shouldn’t Daryl pay more attention to me?

She then asked Lisa, “Does Skylar come from a prominent background? Why is the director being so

friendly to her?”
