Skylar’s lips curled. These companies were famous for their notorious exploitation. They would have their talents make money by doing live streams and would charge a lot for training fees prior to that.
She kept the business cards inside her pocket and told them she would consider the offer in order to escape from their grasp.
She called Kate to tell her that she was successfully booked for the commercial.
Kate acknowledged that indifferently then hung up the phone. Skylar could vaguely hear through the phone that Kate seemed to be at some shooting location.
Amelia asked her, “Kate, who’s that?”
“It’s one of Tobias’ fling. Previously, he wanted to sign with me but I increased the price last minute and that made him angry. We are still in a stalemate. That girl has pretty good standards, and I hope to take her under my wing.”
Amelia’s face darkened. “You’ve said you wouldn’t guide new people for now.”
Claudia’s surgery went well and Tobias was utterly relieved.
Ever since she was hospitalized for two days, Claudia hadn’t seen Tanya at all. She asked Tobias, “Where is Tanya? She must be pretty upset now.”
“She’s at the mental hospital for treatment after her breakdown,” Tobias said indifferently while his eyes darkened.
Claudia’s heart shrank upon hearing that. She continued asking Tobias, “Are you the one who sent her there? Tanya is such a nice lady, and it must’ve been you who had caused her so much pain.”
“She had a miscarriage and a hysterectomy. Why would you still want me to marry her if she wouldn’t be able to conceive anymore? If you insist, then I have nothing to say,” Tobias uttered, clear of Claudia’s intentions.
She had been dreaming of having grandchildren, so why would she allow a woman who wasn’t able to conceive to marry into the Fords?
Claudia sighed. Finally she said, “Her life has been rough and it’s unfortunate for her to end up being like this. Which hospital is she at? I’ll go and visit her.”
“Focus on your recovery, and stop thinking of other stuff,” Tobias replied instantly, not wanting Claudia to meet Tanya.
That woman was like a ticking time bomb—it was better to stay away from her.
When Susan said that Tanya was pitiful, he disagreed because things happened for a reason. It was her responsibility for ending up in her situation.
“I will never accept that woman whether or not you end up being with Tanya. Let me be clear.” Claudia bit her lips upon mentioning Skylar.
She had never hated a person to this extent. That girl comes from a less than ideal background, and she sure is sinister and evil.
It would be very unfortunate if she were to be married into the family.
Tobias frowned; he was very familiar with Claudia’s stubbornness. Skylar was just unlucky, but it wasn’t her fault. It was his problem because he was unable to bring both perspectives into play.
Claudia forced Tobias to promise that he wouldn’t continue seeing Skylar.
Tobias ignored her and said, “Don’t worry about me, I’ll manage my own problems. I’d never said I would marry her.”
At the hospital’s corridor, Sheldon took out his cell phone and showed Tobias.
“Where did you get the photo from?”
“It was taken by my friend and he said that he saw a beautiful lady. She looks so beautiful even though it was taken by a camera. I heard it was taken at some commercial shooting location.”
Tobias deleted the photo from Sheldon’s phone. It seemed like Skylar had no choice but to go for commercial casting because she was unable to sign with an agency yet.
In regards to Kate wanting to increase the price all of a sudden, it wasn’t the money he cared about, but rather his refusal to accept how Kate was handling the matter.
When she picked up Tobias’ call, Skylar was still in the middle of the commercial shoot. She had eaten a kilogram of chocolate beans and her voice was almost gone.
It was definite that she had regained that one kilogram she had lost during her diet.
Tobias had told her that he would go find her that night. Skylar found a quiet spot and she leaned her body against the wall. “It’s inconvenient for me today as I’m having my period.”
“I don’t meet you just to sleep with you.”
