Chapter 751 Sharing The Resources


    It was evident that the unsessful film had far-reaching consequences. It did not just impact her


    reputation but also her prospects of securing future endorsement deals.


    The deal with McDonald''s had been safeguarded only because Kate had done her very best to talk


    to them.


    When Skr saw Marcus'' iing call, she decided to decline it.


    However, she reluctantly answered when he called her repeatedly. “Mr. Ford, are you calling to hold


    me ountable? I''m busy at the moment.”


    Marcus chuckled. “The director is now shifting the me onto you, yet you seem to be handling it


    quite well.”


    Skr replied, “Opinions may differ. It''s clear to anyone who isn''t blind who should shoulder the


    me.”


    Despite sensing Skr''s low spirits, he remained unperturbed, having be ustomed to her


    emotional state. Upon hearing a voice calling for her in the background, he decided to be direct.


    “When do you finish work today? I have something important to discuss with you.”


    However, Skr ended the call without replying.


    As the clock needle neared ten, the director''s voice resonated through the set, signaling the


    completion of the advertisement shoot. At longst, a wave of relief swept over Skr''s fatigued


    body. However, the aftermath of consuming more than a dozen hamburgers throughout the day left


    her so full she could puke.


    When she was young, the opportunity to dine at McDonald''s and Kentucky Fried Chicken was a


    rarity for her. Indulging in their offerings during festive celebrations or even on her birthdays was a


    luxury she seldom experienced.


    She vividly remembered the first time she had a spicy chicken burger when she was in junior high.


    Jeremy had bought it for her.


    When she took her first bite, her taste buds danced with pleasure, and she couldn''t help but relish


    the sheer deliciousness of the burger.


    Jeremy urged her to relish the vors and eat to her heart''s content. His gaze remained fixated on


    her throughout the whole time.


    It was only now that Skr understood the disdain in Jeremy''s gaze. What she had mistaken for


    affection was, in reality, nothing more than mocking her humble existence.


    The staff members would often cast nces her way, making Skr feel self-conscious.


    Determined to maintain herposure, she sat on a bench and took out a small mirror to touch up


    her makeup. Once she was done, she prepared to head home.

    Laurel said, “Many people are gossiping about your connections to Ford Group. Some say that the


    netizens were wrong and that you have a sugar daddy among the executives of thepany.”


    In response, Skr shrugged dismissively, unfazed by the rumors. She knew that gossips had a


    way of distorting the truth as they spread the word.


    Laurel leaned in close to Skr''s ear and whispered, “There''s a new brand ambassador for


    McDonald''s, and she''s endorsing the Wings Bucket. There are huge billboards of her everywhere.


    You''re positioned to her right and are no longer the main attraction.”


    Skr scanned her surroundings, but she couldn''t spot any new faces at the scene.


    Hence, she asked, “Is the brand ambassador a man or a woman?”


    Laurel uttered, “I''m not sure if I heard correctly, but I think it''s Saorise.”


    Skr did not expect Saorise to be present for the shoot. The lingering tension between them


    seemed to persist no matter where they were.


    “Ever since Saorise joined thepany, she''s been given so many opportunities. The resources


    you are given are nothingpared to her. If you continue like this, you''ll be a forgotten artist.


    There''s no way you are going to be famous,” Laurel added.


    Skr replied, “There''s no need to look into the future. I guess I already am.” There are so many


    ambitious artists in thepany now. It''s apetitive environment, and resources are limited. I


    can''t be given all the opportunities.


    Meanwhile, Tobias arrived punctually at the entrance of Mcdonald''s. He sat in his car, ready to light


    a cigarette while waiting for Skr to walk out.


    He tried calling her several times, but there was no answer. They had agreed to meet after she


    finished work at half past seven, but she was nowhere to be seen.


    When Tobias heard someone knocking on the car window from behind, he assumed it was Skr.


    However, his expression turned solemn when he saw it was Marcus. Nevertheless, he wasn''t


    surprised by thetter''s appearance.
