Chapter 153


    Pollyanna finished the bread and the entire bottle of soda. Skr took out


    every single cent she had on herself and pushed the money into Pollyanna’s


    hands.


    Quietly, she said, “Take this money and buy some food for yourself when


    you’re hungry. Don’t let your mother find out.”


    Pollyanna nodded thankfully at her. Shyly, she asked, “Miss, can I call you Mom?”

    This was a little shocking to Skr. She shook her head and said kindly, “I don’t have any children yet.


    Just call me Skr, okay?”


    “Oh.” Pollyanna sounded a little crestfallen. She turned around and fled without looking back at her.


    Kai saw this and said to Skr, “Don’t be so kind to everyone you see. I’ve heard stories about the


    children here. Whenever they see someone from out of town, they act pitiful so they can get free food.


    Lots of people in the production crew have encountered this sort of incident.”


    Skr didn’t think much of it. Who cared if Pollyanna had tricked her out of her money? The kid was just


    peckish. There was no need to be so calctive about it.


    Skr and Kai made their way to the shooting location. Kai followed after her as Skr led the way. His


    tall, bulky buildpletely shielded her body from the sun.


    When they all got there, everyone’s eyes turned to Kai. Although he was a newbie in the industry, he


    held a rather prestigious status as the only son of Henry Group’s CEO. He was a walking God of


    Fortune.


    Unbeknownst to Skr, Henry Group had another connection to her. The CEO was Tobias’ uncle.


    This made Tobias Kai’s older cousin. Anyone with a background as powerful as Kai’s was surrounded by


    bootlickers everywhere they went. Even the director himself was obliged to treat him favorably.


    Katrina was the happiest person to see Kai’s arrival. Skr couldn’t help but suspect that the two of them


    were somehow involved with each other.


    Skr’s scenes would only be starting filming tomorrow. She returned to her room to memorize her script


    again, conveniently steering clear of Jeremy.


    When Jeremy found out that she had lost the role of the lead actress to Katrina, he started mocking her


    loudly whenever he saw her around the set. Seeing the malicious smile on his face, Skr was so angry


    that she could hardly breathe.


    She wormed into her bed and held her phone high up above her face. The signal here was horrible. The


    Wi-Fi router was basically a decorative item, and her data was working very poorly. It took her ages to


    send out one message.


    She texted Tobias: Are you online? Have you returned from Thand?


    He replied almost instantly: I’m back. I’m having a meeting at the office now.


    Skry on her side and held the phone up to her face. For the past two days, chatting with Tobias on


    WhatsApp was the only thing she looked forward to.


    With Tobias, she felt too shy to say anything romantic. Even a simple “I miss you” seemed immensely


    difficult to her.


    She sent him another message: I won’t bother you if you’re in a meeting, then. I was just bored so


    wanted to know what you were doing.


    Tobias didn’t reply for a long time. Just as Skr was starting to wonder if he had ended the


    conversation, her phone screen lit up with a notification again.


    You aren’t bothering me. Find a movie to watch if you’re so bored.


    Skr replied: There haven’t been any good movies recently.


    Tobias sent her a link to a streaming website.


    Skr clicked on the link excitedly. When the website finally loaded, however, she flushed scarlet


    immediately. Her heart was beating so fast that she felt a little light-headed.


    Nevertheless, curiosity got the better of her and she clicked on the video immediately. However, she


    didn’t expect it to y so quickly. Immediately, the lewd sounds of a woman moaning filled the quiet


    room.


    Skr quickly returned to WhatsApp.


    She sent him another message: Why are you making me watch stuff like that?


    Tobias replied: Baby, do you want to spice up our bedroom life? Take a lesson or two from her. We can


    get closer that way.


    A series of embarrassing images popped into Skr’s mind as she read his message. She was bent


    over Tobias’sp—he raised his hand and swung it down on her buttocks with a humiliating p, leaving


    a clear, red mark on the flesh.
