The director flashed a courteous yet enthusiastic grin. “It’s done. Feel free to leave with Skylar, Mr. Ford.”
Meanwhile, Harry and his manager, Tyler Lewis, were standing somewhere nearby. Tyler, who was experienced in the entertainment industry, broke out in a cold sweat. “Skylar is Tobias’ chick. This woman definitely isn’t as simple as she seems to be. She’s modest and has been keeping a low profile.”
Harry seemed to have grown accustomed to such things. “Winnie just can’t stop making a big fuss about getting a rich boyfriend, but Skylar is really smart in this case. She knows how to protect her reputation and portrays herself as an innocent woman as she makes her debut as an actress. I heard that Tobias isn’t a loyal man. How long do you think the two will be together?”
Tyler had heard that quite a number of popular female celebrities fell head over heels for Tobias. However, the man never once had a scandal with any of them, though he had been in the entertainment industry for a long while.
Previously, Katrina spread rumors about herself being together with Tobias, but everyone knew that she was trying to boost her popularity, and her love was unrequited.
Hence, he was mystified by Tobias’ way, as the latter disregarded all the gorgeous and popular celebrities, but fell for a twenty-year-old budding actress. Usually, someone as young as Skylar got into a relationship just for fun.
Meanwhile, Skylar asked Hannah to text her about tomorrow’s schedule before heading home.
The latter appeared utterly perplexed. Why did Skylar say that she can’t afford to buy the entire crew coffees when she’s in a relationship with Tobias Ford? How could she say that she has no money when her boyfriend is so rich? I even thought that she’s single.
Sheldon immediately went after the couple, while Winnie requested her boyfriend to bring her back as well. Nevertheless, he rejected her, saying that he and his brother had some personal matters to talk about, so no outsider was allowed.
“How about Skylar? Isn’t she an outsider too?” Winnie refuted.
Ignoring his girlfriend’s protest, Sheldon took the initiative to drive the car. Tobias sat in the passenger seat, while Skylar was in the backseat.
“Tobias, give me another two million, please? You’ve canceled my bank cards, but I need money to survive,” Sheldon pleaded with a sad face. Despite being on his uppers, he still refused to go to work.
“No way.” Tobias rejected him firmly.
Sheldon had never needed to worry about his finances since he was a teenager. Even though the man had been squandering all his money carelessly, his brother didn’t say a word about it. Now this sudden change of lifestyle was a living hell for him. He even dared not go to a bar like he used to.
He turned to ask for Skylar’s help. “Skylar, my dear sister-in-law, please help me out. Can you bear to see me starve to death?”
Occasionally, Sheldon addressed her as his sister-in-law jokingly, but now she felt really awkward. Tobias has never shown any desire of making me his wife.
Looking out the car window at the night sky, Skylar replied, “You won’t die of hunger. I can tell that you’re rather strong and can no doubt hold on for a little longer.”
Sheldon felt out of breath as his chest tightened. Since when did I offend her? She is such a small-minded lady.
Throughout the car ride, Sheldon never kept his mouth shut. Finally, Tobias couldn’t take it any longer and rebuked his brother. “Can you just shut up? I can see that there’s no way I can get you to work. You’ll be managing a bar from now on. We’ll talk about money once the operation of the bar is on track. But you’ll have to be responsible for all the profits and losses of the bar.”
Skylar suddenly had a hunch that Sheldon would treat his friends to some free drinks if he were to manage a bar.
Despite his reluctance, Sheldon knew that this was the best offer he could get from his brother.
“Are you serious about your relationship with Winnie?” Skylar asked.
