Chapter 601 Someone Easy To Get Along With

Skylar purposively did not switch her phone to silent mode. Her eyes widened without the slightest bit of sleepiness as she stared at the time displayed on her phone. The sudden change in Tobias’ demeanor moments ago had caught her off guard. It’s going to strike twelve. Oh no! The pervert will surely call me again!

She had called Holden up during the day to ask about the latest updates. Before that, she had already lodged a police report, claiming that someone had been threatening her.

The latter only replied placidly, “I bet it must be a prank played by one of you fervent fans. Isn’t it common for celebrities?”

Skylar could not help heaving a sigh resignedly. I requested his help and even bought him a meal. But he obviously thinks that I’m overreacting! A prank played by one of my fervent fans? How could he jump to such a hasty conclusion? It seems that nothing much can be done even after the case is filed. Similarly, the chances of getting the money back for an internet fraud are slim even after the report is lodged.

As the door opened abruptly, the sound broke Skylar’s reverie. Taken aback, she clutched her chest and snapped after taking a deep breath, “Why didn’t you knock on the door before entering?”

Tobias caught a glimpse of his watch instinctively, only to find that it was almost midnight. He asked quizzically, “Huh? Why should I do so? This is my house too. Why do I need to knock on the door upon entering my woman’s room?”

Deep down, he reprimanded Skylar for being hard-hearted. If not for her, I won’t need to stand guard here till midnight! Apart from that, he had asked someone to trace all the unknown callers. Nevertheless, he was informed that those were internet calls, and they had no means to track down the calls.

After getting Skylar’s phone from her, he lowered his voice while reassuring her, “Don’t worry. I believe you won’t be receiving any prank calls soon. Trust me!”

Furrowing her brows, Skylar asked in bafflement, “Were the calls really made by my fervent fans? Anyway, my gut instinct tells me that someone is causing me trouble so that I’ll have an emotional breakdown.”

The following day, Hannah relayed the director’s message to Skylar when she joined the event of DI brand. “Mr. Lynch mentioned that you didn’t do well for some scenes yesterday. Thus, he needs to reshoot all the affected ones.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Apart from being as busy as a bee alongside Skylar, Hannah was occupied with dating. The hectic life tended to wear her down, causing her to become forgetful. Subsequently, Skylar had to use post-it notes as reminders for her. Thus, the former had no choice but to hire another assistant.

The moment she heard that the filming crew had to reshoot her scenes, her expression darkened. Undeniably, she would usually be in a better mood whenever she was not with the filming crew at the filming site.

At that moment, Skylar was eating takeaway backstage. Laurel cast her eyes on the former’s face with exquisite makeup. Unavoidably, her lips were slightly smeared with the oil from the food. Even though she had not yet reapplied lipstick to touch up, she still looked as gorgeous as ever with her unmissable luscious lips.

Laurel only advanced toward Skylar to introduce herself after the latter had finished her food. “Mdm. Jones, nice to meet you. I’m Laurel Reed, your new assistant.”

In the meantime, Skylar was engaged in scrolling Twitter on her phone, barely even blinking her eyes.

Astounded by how Laurel addressed her, she put her phone away and lifted her head instantly.

“Ah! I didn’t expect that you’re such a pretty lady. Just call me Skylar,” she responded briefly in a standard way with a hint of unmissable hypocrisy. All the while, she had been addressing other females as pretty ladies too.

Even though Laurel looked rather plain, she was exuding the vibe of an aloof yet glamorous supermodel.

“Mdm. Jones, it’s been quite a while since I last had a job. Thus, I need a few days to adapt to it. But I promise that it won’t take long for me. Mdm. Jones, I hope you won’t mind that,” Laurel uttered warily.

“It doesn’t matter. Just take your time. I’m not someone who’ll easily make a fuss. If there’s anything you’re not sure about, don’t hesitate to ask Hannah. She has worked for me for quite a long period,” Skylar responded casually with smiling eyes.

Laurel nodded as she looked intently into Skylar’s eyes. Even though the latter proclaimed herself as someone easy to get along with, she could not help feeling tensed up. Hmph! There are hardly any celebrities in the entertainment industry that are easy to deal with! But what choice do I have? I wouldn’t have taken up this job if I didn’t break up with Gavin and need to earn a living!
