Chapter 596 Needs Change
“What kind of trashy movie are you filming? The director is unknown, and the movie had barely gotten any investments. Why did you pick a script like this? Aren’t you afraid that your market value will drop?”
Tobias rarely showed concern toward Skylar’s work. He only casually flipped through the script as it was laying on the desk in the study room.
However, Skylar was very serious about her work. She had marked some lines and made some notes in red, including the emotions she needed to portray, as well as the unique characteristics of the role she was playing.
But Skylar’s handwriting was a huge contrast to her pretty face. Her handwriting was all over the place and barely legible. It was hardly better than an elementary school student’s handwriting.
After hearing Tobias’ disdainful comment, Skylar threw the script into the drawer and replied, “It was the company who accepted this job for me. Because of a crop-up, I missed the auditions for Pretty Detective. As such, this is the only option I have left for movies that will be screened during the festive period. The cast is not that bad. There’s a cameo appearance which should help with increasing the box office revenue for the film.”
The one making the cameo appearance was Ruben, who was currently the most popular comedy actor in the industry. Naturally, he was the focus of the promotional efforts for the movie so far.
Skylar had a strong feeling that the director would be bashed when the movie was screened as Ruben’s cameo in the movie was merely having his face on a poster!
Audiences who watched the movie especially for him would definitely feel cheated after seeing his almost nonexistent cameo.
“Well, I only trust my own judgment. It wouldn’t even be easy for your movie to break even. The script is so lame and terrible. It’s just pure nonsense.”
Skylar felt very hurt by Tobias’ straightforwardness. She wished that he could be more tactful and make her feel better about herself. That way, it would be easier for her to feel a little more hopeful about the situation.
“Where’s your manager? Nowadays, I only see you with your assistant. What’s going on with Kate? Doesn’t she filter the scripts for you?” Tobias asked as he took out a cigarette. Not wanting Skylar to inhale second-hand smoke, he only lit the cigarette after opening the windows.
Upon that, Skylar did not know how to answer Tobias. She couldn’t possibly say that Kate was busy dating, could she? After all, she was not certain of that.
As such, she replied, “There’s no harm for me to try. Who knows, there might be a miracle.”
Tobias stubbed out his cigarette after taking a few puffs. He had come to a conclusion long ago that Skylar did not have the best of luck. Even if there was really a miracle, it would not happen to her.
He lifted the woman’s chin, and his gaze lingered on her smooth neck and rosy lips. In a hoarse voice, he said, “I’ll move in with you in the next few days since I’m worried to leave you here alone. After all, that’s what you’ve always wanted, right?”
Skylar remembered that Tobias had said the same thing previously but never did it. He merely treated her place like a hotel and only visited when he had needs.
At that thought, Skylar broke free from the man’s grip and turned her face away before replying, “I’m already used to living alone. Besides, our schedules are different, and I’m worried that I might affect your rest. I often sleep after 3 a.m., and that would definitely affect you.”
Tobias chuckled and said, “I’ll give you some time to consider. You don’t have to think about my schedule. I can match yours.”
Skylar rested her head on Tobias’ chest and replied, “Why does it feel like you’ll never be able to leave me? You’re someone who needs so much alone time. Besides, I’m sure that you will have issues with a lot of my daily habits.”
“No one needs another person to survive. There are just different needs at different stages of life. Just treat it as I can’t stand my mom’s nagging and have no other place to go.”
Feeling slightly hurt, Skylar’s smile faded as if she had just been pricked by a needle.
