Chapter 173
This wasn’t a catwalk runway. The ce she was at was dirty and dusty. After work, all Skr wanted
was to dressfortably.
It never crossed her mind to dress sexily in order to please Tobias.
She had always liked dressing up this way since she was a child, preferring unisex clothes that were
simple andfortablepared to skirts.
“Alright, I’ll go change.” Skr opened the closet to look for something else to wear.
After rummaging through the closet only to find more cartoon-printed T-shirts, she finally gave up.
“I don’t have any nice clothes, so you’re gonna have to bear with this.” She shrugged nonchntly.
“Change your pants then. It looks odd. And what are the big holes for? Saving cost on fabric?” Tobias
simply couldn’t ept her pauper-looking overalls.
His OCD seemed to be acting up again as he had the strong urge to sew the holes on Skr’s overalls
shut.
Left without a choice, Skr obediently found a pair of skinny jeans.
Tobias’ gaze fell on her as she emptied out the pockets.
All of them were small and disorganized items; a strawberry hairpin, an almost empty packet of tissue,
and earphone cords that were severely entangled.
One by one, she ced the things on the table.
Tobias shook his head at her. “Are all girls so sloppy?”
“Not really. Are you calling me sloppy?” Skr asked.
Tobias withheld his answer, certain that he would only get into an argument with Skr if he did not.
Even so, his silence was already an answer. He stood up and carefully untangled Skr’s earphones.
Skr felt slightly rueful for being bad at pretending to be something she was not.
Perhaps I should at least pretend to be elegant, considerate, and ssy. But… I really could not care
less about my appearance.
Checking his watch, Tobias decided that it was time to leave with Skr.
Sitting in his car, Skr asked where they were going and why he was driving toward the county.
Noticing the wary and fearful look on Skr’s face, Tobias’ smile deepened. “Do you think I’m going to
sell you off or something? Besides, even if I wanted to, No one from the vige wants a skinny girl whose
shoulders and arms look like they can be snapped like twigs. They prefer meaty and fertile-looking girls.”
What Tobias said sounded awfully simr to what the vige women said about her the other day.
Fine, being thin is all my fault.
Tobias had epted Daryl’s dinner invitation tonight. He rarely participated in socializing events such as
these, and he only agreed out of courtesy to Daryl and also to make Skr’s days with the crew easier.
Daryl arrived well before the appointed time, but without Tobias here, he did not dare to let the waiters
serve the food.
Kai grumbled silently at being forced by Daryl to attend.
He did not want to see Tobias and Skr appearing together.
When the couple finally arrived, Daryl hastily stood up to wee them.
If it were not for Tobias, Skr would never have gotten the chance to see a well-known director such as
Daryl being so subservient.

“Mr. Ford, Skr hasn’t signed with an agency, so why not sign with me?” Daryl poured Tobias a drink.
Tobias nced at Skr. “What do you think?”
This was quite a tempting offer to her. Pursing her lips, she replied, “I think it’s up for consideration.”
Skr no longer wanted to be alone and running around like a headless chicken on the set.
“I will make Skr famous within two years,” Daryl promised.
At that, Tobias’ gaze on her turned slightly chilly and he turned a deaf ear to her answer.
Meanwhile, Daryl had begun outlining Skr’s future in an animated manner.
“She won’t sign,” Tobias tly rejected.
Daryl’s excited chatter came to an abrupt halt.
While nursing his drink, Kai refuted unhappily, “Tobias, you’re being too controlling. This is Skr’s own
business and it’s her decision to make. You do know that she’s not your ything, right?”
