Chapter 172


    Skr knew that she shouldn’t add fuel to the fire. If she went head-to-head with Tobias, things could


    very well get ugly.


    She nodded. “I understand, I won’t ask you again. I’m fine with whatever you say.”


    Tobias reached out to grab her hand. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have used that tone.”


    Skr’sshes fluttered. “I understand where you’reing from. It’s not easy being trapped in


    between. It’s my fault that your mother doesn’t like me. I really do have a poor background. My neighbors


    used to say that I’d have trouble marrying in the future and that my inws would scorn me, even my


    children won’t be able to live with their heads held high.”


    Tobias heaved a sigh, then lifted her chin and gave her a peck on the lips. “It has nothing to do with you.


    Why are you overthinking it? I don’t choose my partner based on their family background or whatnot. I


    can make up for everything that youck.”


    Daryl had caught wind of Tobias’ visit to the film set.


    Hence, the first thing he did was look for the man. When he saw Skr and Tobias together, he was


    visibly stunned.


    Before Skr went to get ready for filming, Tobias whispered something into her ear, making her blush


    furiously and scurry off after that.


    They already had a wild night in bed yesterday, but Tobias was insatiable, eager to have another


    lovemaking session tonight.


    After Skr left, Daryl asked out of curiosity, “Mr. Ford, are you very close to Skr?”


    Tobias replied ndly, “She’s my girlfriend. This is her first time acting in a movie, so do take good care


    of her.”


    Daryl was dumbfounded. He never thought that someone with no background like Skr had Tobias


    Ford as her backer.


    He couldn’t help but think that she was being too low-key. If she revealed her rtionship with


    Tobias, the female lead role would never have been snatched away by Katrina.


    He couldn’t fathom why Tobias did not provide Skr with extra resources when he could do seemingly


    impossible things with only a snap of his fingers.


    Even the producers would cower upon hearing Tobias’ name and would never insist on casting Katrina.


    Daryl quickly answered, “I didn’t know Skr was your girlfriend, Mr. Ford. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care


    of her. She’s very talented in acting and is a fast learner too. She’s also very smart and…”


    “Mm, I know,” Tobias interrupted him, obviously not bothering to engage in a conversation.


    In Tobias’ eyes, everything Daryl said was unnecessary ttery.


    Within a single afternoon, word of Skr’s rtionship with Tobias spread among the crew like wildfire.


    Everyone started to look at Skr differently.


    Katrina was distracted during the shoot in the afternoon, frequently having to retake her scenes. The


    rumors about her and Tobias were all ineffectual now.


    Before Tobias visited today, there were some people who thought she was acquainted with him, but he


    did not even give her the time of day when he was here earlier.


    Katrina was livid at bing aughing stock for everyone, and she med it all on Skr.


    After wrapping up for the day, Skr went back to her room to look for Tobias with a thermos sk in her


    hand.


    Upon her return, Tobias closed hisptop and put it aside.


    “What are you wearing?” He scanned Skr from top to bottom.


    She was wearing army green overalls with a caramel-colored short-sleeved inner shirt that had Mickey


    Mouse designs on them. It was an oddbination, not to mention rather childish.


    Skr looked down at her clothes and tugged at her sleeve awkwardly. “What’s wrong? Do I look bad?”


    Tobias’ gaze on her was gentle as he ordered, “Be more confident. Change out of it.”

    Despite being judged for her fashion preference, Skr kept silent and deduced that Tobias probably


    found her appearance childish andpletelycking in femininity.
