Though her pay was that of a C-list celebrity, Skylar dared not overestimate herself, knowing that being

in her prime right after her debut was only wishful thinking.

It had been proven that she was right. The movie and the TV series only made the audience more

familiar with her.

The movie was still playing in the major theaters right now, but it only boosted the female lead,

Katrina’s popularity.

“This movie will be your masterpiece, and it might still be in another ten years. You must seize this

golden opportunity.” With her eyes on the signed agreement, a contented smile broke across Kate’s

face.

Skylar was the easiest actress she had ever worked with. Not only was the woman gifted and

cooperative, but it also saved Kate a lot of hassle of securing jobs for her painstakingly.

Tobias is such a keeper. He has paved the way for Skylar, ensuring that she has a bright future.

Before Skylar could give Kate her word of honor, Tobias called and summoned her to the hospital.

Like a cat on a hot tin roof, she rushed over to the hospital and found the man and her mother sitting in

the cafeteria, facing each other.

With exaggerated body language, Miranda rambled on with much excitement, waving her hands

vehemently in the air.

Meanwhile, Tobias sat silently in utter stillness, as if he was an emotionless sculpture.

Standing a few steps away from the man, Skylar locked eyes with him. She had been trying to pull

herself together on the way to the hospital, as she was afraid that she might lash out at Miranda

uncontrollably.

“I’ve activated auto debit for your medical fee. You can stay here as long as you wish. I’ve done

everything I should, so I’m taking my leave now.”

Standing up, Tobias wanted to give Skylar a reassuring pat on her shoulder. As the man lifted his hand,

he suddenly realized that quite a number of people in the cafeteria were stealing glances at them.

He was reminded that many knew Skylar now. In order to keep their relationship in the dark, he had to

avoid any intimate interaction with her in public.

Dropping his hand, he kept a distance from the woman.

Skylar was still holding a grudge against him, so she was eager to set the boundaries between them.

“I’ll pay you back. I’ve signed the agreement, so the filming crew will pay me thirty percent of my salary

in advance, and it’ll be more than enough to cover the medical fee.”

Tobias gave her a dry smile. “No worries, it’s just a trivial matter. There’s no need to draw the line

between you and me. Keep your salary. It’s your hard-earned money. Besides, you haven’t even

received it. How can you think of spending it already?”

He’s leaving me with no choice. I’ll have to give it back to him straight away afterward.

As she watched him stride away, he didn’t even glance at Miranda, let alone saying goodbye.

In fact, the man couldn’t wait to leave, reluctant to spend another second in Miranda’s presence.

Skylar took the seat where he sat earlier, facing her mother with her arms folded. The woman was

fuming rage, yet she had to keep her cool in public.

“You’re really something. I never expected you to get Tobias here and make him pay for your medical

fee.”

Miranda pursed her lips with displeasure. “How could you say that? We’re a family.”

Skylar gave the woman a death stare. “Dream on! You can stay here if you want to, but don’t you

disturb Tobias ever again, or else you’ll put me in a tight spot.”

Miranda shrugged noncommittally without agreeing with her daughter. The latter was on the verge of

flying off the handle.

In the evening, the sun turned red, casting a pinkish glow across the sky. Coming out of the hospital,

Skylar put on a pair of sunglasses, and her head tilted up slightly.

Instinctively, her gaze fell on Tobias, who was dressed in a well-cut black suit. He’s still here.

The woman then sauntered over to him in her high heels with a frigid expression. She had yet to get

over yesterday’s argument.

Though he came over because of Miranda, it didn’t mean that she was going to forgive him. What he

does today cannot make up for the fact that he called me fake with a stern face last night. Women have

the right to be unreasonable sometimes. Why not me then? Besides, I wasn’t being unreasonable last

night.

“Mr. Ford, are you waiting for me? I didn’t know you’re so free.”
