Chapter 268
Kate burst into laughter. “Why does it sound like they’re doing Skylar a service? She has always had an
innocent image.”
Tyler gazed at Skylar’s beautiful face. Innocent? Yeah, right.
Like Helen of Troy, Skylar had a face that could launch a thousand ships. Men would go weak in the
knees when they see her. She was still a student, but she had already starred in one of Daryl’s films and
was now the lead of this drama.
It was no secret how she had risen in the industry so quickly—she probably slept her way up! Innocent
my foot!
However, Kate didn’t shut down the idea of Harry and Skylar being a couple entirely. “We’ll have to see
the audience response when this drama is aired.”
#Unrequited Love Press Conference#; #Harry Reid#; #Pride of Southwood#.
Those were the three hashtags that started trending on social media immediately afterwards. Skylar
found herself saddled with the unfamiliar burden of being Southwood Film Academy’s pride.
She felt a little embarrassed. She had always kept a low profile in school, except for the one time people NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
dished the dirt on her on social media.
After that, however, everything had pretty much returned to normal.
As it turned out, the public took very well to her ravishing appearance at the press conference. Her
Instagram followers shot to five hundred thousand in less than a day.
Despite that, there was another camp of people who were very critical of her on social media. They
frequently left all sorts of nasty comments under her posts.
They complained that Skylar’s looks were completely different from what they imagined the female lead
would look like, and that she wouldn’t do justice to the novel.
Not only was she too beautiful, but her face had a rather b*tchy look to it as well.
That was the most liked comment under that post.
Skylar used to think that she was only passably good-looking. However, after her makeup artists did their
magic, her looks were greatly elevated to that of a renowned beauty. No wonder so many women were
jealous of her.
In the car, she scrolled through the comments miserably.
Why don’t you act as a vixen or the male lead’s mistress? You aren’t suited for this role at all.
Don’t you dare sink your claws into Harry!
How did she have the gall to accept a lead role when she has never acted much before? Just look at her
rubbish acting skills! I bet she has a sugar daddy who got her this role in the first place.
My poor Harry is going to get tainted by her! Don’t you think she’ll try to seduce Harry with her looks?
Skylar felt a wave of anger wash over her. She closed the Instagram application immediately.
It had been five days since she last talked to Tobias. She decided to unleash her pent-up fury on him
instead.
Her fingers flew over the keyboard as she typed furiously.
Tobias’s phone screen lit up again and again as notifications continued to pop up.
Susan placed the documents she compiled on his desk.
They were both quick and efficient, and their partnership was nothing less than a perfect one.
This was also why Tobias particularly valued Susan as his secretary.
It was very quiet in the office. Occasionally, there was a loud crinkle of papers as someone turned a
page.
“Mr. Ford, you have some notifications on your phone,” Susan reminded him.
Tobias finally clamped the file shut and picked up his phone from the table. Immediately, he saw lines
and lines of text messages from Skylar, all filled with angry expletives.
Tobias felt a little confused. Was she acting up because he had been neglecting her for the past few
days? That couldn’t be helped. Unfortunately, he had to go to work, too. He couldn’t spend all of his time
engaging in debaucherous behavior with Skylar.
He told Susan to leave first. She shot a curious look at his phone and saw Skylar’s name on the screen.
So they are still together! Susan felt a little stunned.
She had worked with Tobias for so many years, and she knew he had a messy private life. Most of his
relationships with women didn’t last long.
There were only a few types of woman on this earth. He despised those who got emotionally attached to
him and refused to leave.
