    Chapter 718 Opportunity


    Usually, by that time, Laurel would''ve been waiting at the door with the driver.


    Skr told Tobias she would stay at home, but Kate was desperately urging Skr, informing thetter


    that the paparazzi had arrived at the scene.


    Caught in a bind, she negotiated with Kate. “Kate, please help mee up with an excuse for my


    absence. I can''t leave today because someone is sick.”


    Kate was still anxious. “Your family member isn''t seriously ill anyway. Without the female lead at the


    film''s promotional event, how do you expect those two fools to hold up the scene, especially Ingrid.”


    Skr made a promise. “I''ll be there in half an hour.”


    Wearing a guilty expression, she went upstairs and saw Tobias was still lying in bed. His face was pale


    and drained of colors.


    Anyone would feel ufortable, having suffered a low-grade fever for the entire night. He


    experienced a persistent high-grade fever and hadn''t gotten any quality rest the night before.


    “I made some oatmeal for you. Remember to eat it when you wake upter.”


    Tobias said, “Are you just going to leave me here?”


    Skr was still thinking about how to broach the topic when Tobias correctly guessed her intention.


    “I need to attend the movie promotional event today. The movie is about to be released, and the female


    lead cannot be absent. I''ll be back soon.”


    Tobias wasn''t pleased to hear her mention the movie as it involved Marcus. He was unconvinced about


    Marcus'' investment judgment. He thought thetter and Sheldon were bothme ducks.


    On her way to the event venue, Skr called Laurel''s number, wanting to ask why she hadn''t shown


    up.


    Laurel picked up the call. Her nasal voice sounded gloomy as she spoke. Sensing Laurel''s depressed


    mood, Skr asked, “Where did you go? Why didn''t youe over this morning?”


    Laurel replied, “I''m not feeling well, so I''m skipping work today.”


    Skr was rendered speechless. She couldn''t help but wonder if she had been too easygoing toward


    the people around her. No matter what, I''m still her employer. It''s fine if she applies for sick leave and


    doesn''te to work. However, under such circumstances, she needed me to take the initiative to


    contact her and check the reason behind her absence. Shouldn''t she inform me in advance? Besides,


    she doesn''t sound like she''s sick. It''s more likely some boy broke her heart.


    Dozens of media outlets had arrived at the scene. When Skr showed up, the reporters immediately


    raised and aimed their cameras at her.


    Skr reached the venue without having the time to style her hair, so she bowed deeply and


    apologized to the paparazzi present, “I''m really sorry for being sote. I had a little emergency. I hereby


    apologize to everyone.”


    Someone below the stage suddenly shouted, “You''re alwayste, and despite your sincere apologies


    each time, you repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Interviewing you takes up most of the


    time in our day. We still have to return to the office and report to our superior, you know?”


    She had beente a few times, but it was due to traffic congestion or issues with the venue from the

    organizers.


    Ingrid didn''t refute Skr. She also thought that was the truth as she figured there was no way Marcus


    would watch her freeze on stage and instead deliver the clothes to Skr.


    When asked about the box office expectations, Skr passed the topic to Ingrid, not wanting to answer


    the question.


    Skr was also fulfilling Ingrid''s wish by letting thetter respond to that sensitive subject.
