Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 263

Skylar didn’t understand a single thing, but could only ascertain that the conversation was about money.

Tobias had said before that he was only still alive for the sake of earning money and nothing else.

If she were in Tobias’ shoes, she would have retired and escaped to an exotic island some years ago.

Scared that she might accidentally overhear some trade secret and become a target, she hung up the

call.

Skylar made a beeline for Kate’s office. Even though Kate wasn’t usually at the company building, she

had put a lot of effort into renovating her office, and there were even pictures of her pet dogs on the

desk.

I knew it. Kate still isn’t married yet, even at this age.

Hearing a knock on the door, Skylar let herself in nearly an hour later than the previously agreed time.

She instantly apologized, sputtering out some excuse about how she was late because of a traffic jam

when, in actuality, the drive had been completely uneventful.

She didn’t want to lie, but she couldn’t tell Kate the truth that she had spent all of last night at a police

station.

Kate was very serious and professional woman, and would not give face regardless of whoever it was

when it came to her work.

She didn’t care for Skylar’s explanation, demanding, “Then why didn’t you leave home an hour earlier so

you’d arrive on time even if there was a traffic jam? Artistes need to know about the importance of

punctuality. This isn’t college where you can just say “sorry I’m late” and shrug it off. If you keep this

attitude up, people are going to think you’re arrogant and egotistical.”

Skylar just bowed her head and admitted that it was her fault for being late, promising Kate that she

would never repeat the mistake ever again.

Only then did Kate seem to calm down somewhat, making a call and asking Skylar’s new assistant to

come in.

During her previous filming session, Skylar had had to do everything by herself. No one had even helped

her to take some of the catering food that the staff had ordered.

Skylar always showed up on set alone without a team, an assistant, nor a manager. This reflected badly

on Kate, as other people might think that their company was mistreating their artists, or that Kate was a

useless manager.

Before long, a young girl with long, pin-straight hair and wearing plain clothes with dark-rimmed glasses

entered the room. She didn’t look older than a fresh graduate.

The girl shyly greeted Skylar, taking in the up-and-coming celebrity that she was going to be looking after

for the time being.

Needless to say, she was astonished at how good-looking Skylar actually was. Seeing her in person

without any beauty filters nor makeup, there was no doubt in her mind that Skylar could easily rise to the Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

top of the entertainment business.

The new assistant’s name was Hannah Hayes. Skylar’s first reaction to hearing her name was,

unfortunately, salivating at the thought of a sweet honey cake.

Hannah was nearly knocked off her feet when Skylar smiled at her. No woman could possibly resist her

smile, let alone a man.

Skylar thought that Hannah looked a little ditzy.

After Hannah left the room, Skylar turned around to ask Kate, “Why did you assign me a newbie? Two

newbies both with zero experience sounds like a recipe for disaster.”

She was very upfront about her dissatisfaction with her new assistant, but Kate had plans of her own and

had expected Skylar’s reaction.

“If I assign you an experienced manager and they turn out to be a sleazy asshole, you might end up

getting taken advantage of. Your assistant doesn’t need to do much for now except manage what you eat

and where you sleep. Newbies are meant to help each other grow.”

Skylar sighed, softening her tone. “Fine. I get it. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to go take a look at the

script. Filming is going to start soon.”

Kate wanted to talk with Skylar more, but sensing that the young woman was desperate to leave, she

kept silent and let her go.

Skylar was still weary from having not rested well the previous night. She just wanted to take a look at

the practice rooms before heading home straight away.

It was there that she bumped into Amelia, who had just finished practicing her dance choreography.
