Skylar asked, “Who bought those coffees? I’m the only one being left out. What are they trying to do?”
Hannah answered with a dejected look. “Winnie and her assistant gave out those coffees. Look, she and her rich boyfriend are taking turns to feed each other cakes.”
Why does Sheldon pretend as if he doesn’t know me here? Is he afraid of affecting his brother’s reputation since we’re at the Ford Group?
Skylar patted Hannah’s shoulder while saying, “Let’s do the same thing tomorrow during filming. Buy the whole crew coffees except the two of them.”
I have to make a stand. I can’t let Winnie trample all over me without retaliating. She won’t stop as long as I endure it in silence.
“We’ll be filming at the studio tomorrow, so the crew will be much bigger, and it’ll cost us tens of thousands to buy everyone coffee,” Hannah replied in a low voice.
Skylar ate her words right away. “Let’s wait for the commission then. I don’t have that much money now.”
Hannah eyed Skylar suspiciously. I once saw a black card which has no spending limit inside her bag. Why is she acting as if she’s broke?
In the meantime, Tobias rubbed the back of his neck to ease the soreness.
My woman just hugged another man six times in a row tonight. I’m starting to hate that Skylar is now in showbiz. Yet, I can’t stop her because this is her dream. Other than her contact with other men, I don’t want to be bossy or restrict her freedom. As long as she’s with me, and her body is mine alone. If we break up one day, I will no longer care about it.
In the olden days, these seemingly glamorous celebrities were of the lower class in the eyes of the public, as they were exposing too much of themselves.
Susan was sharp-eyed and noticed that only Skylar and the girl beside her had no coffee.
She turned to look at Tobias. “Mr. Ford, is Ms. Jones being ostracized by the crew? She didn’t get any coffee and cake, but the rest of them have it…”
If Susan hadn’t pointed it out, Tobias wouldn’t have noticed it.
His eyes landed on Sheldon, who was still acting all lovey-dovey with his girlfriend. He should’ve at least greeted her.
In the meantime, Skylar was waiting for Harry and Winnie to finish filming their scenes before all of them could head home. She then fished out her phone and swiped the screen to unlock it.
The woman dared not browse her Instagram, which was full of fans of the novel ‘Unrequited Love’.
As she casually scrolled through some videos on her phone, sleepiness overcame her, and her eyelids grew heavy. Suddenly, a tall figure overshadowed her.
Lifting her head, she saw Tobias standing right in front of her with two cups of coffee in his hand.
“You’ve always been resilient. Why are you looking so sleepy?”
Staring at the man with a blank face, Skylar slowly took the coffee from him.
What is Tobias doing here? Why did he come over when there’re so many people around? Isn’t he worried about his reputation?
Skylar has been shutting herself off because of Tobias’ grinding. She was convinced that their relationship would be kept in the dark forever.
“Why are you still here? I thought you went home.” Skylar’s voice was soft and weary due to her drowsiness.
“If I had gone home earlier, I wouldn’t have seen you hug the other man six times. Are you going to sleep with me six times tonight to soothe my heartache?” Tobias bent forward and mumbled in her ear. His warm breath caressed her neck, and their postures would lead to dubious assumptions.
Skylar’s brows drew together. How long has he been watching me? He even remembers how many times I did that.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she replied playfully, “I don’t think you can do it for six times. Not a chance!”
