Chapter 176


    “You’re leaving already? The sun isn’t even up yet.” Skry on the bed, staring at Tobias as he put on


    a ck shirt and tucked in his trousers, all the while admiring his narrow hips and slender legs.


    “Yes, I’m leaving now. Remember, don’t sign with apany yet. I’ll tell you the details when you’re


    back. Take care of yourself here.”


    Tobias had a cigarette between his lips and squinted through the cloud of smoke that was obscuring his


    vision.


    Skr hated it when people smoked in a room, especially when the windows were closed.


    Tobias seemed to be aware of this as he opened the door a crack when he lit a cigarette.


    Skr got up from bed, intending to send him off.


    When she snaked her slender arms around his neck, he turned sideways to stub out his cigarette before


    kissing her with lips that tasted like a mixture of mint and tobo.


    “Behave while I’m not here. I will try my best to reply to your messages, but I can get really busy at times,


    so you’ll have to bear with me.”


    Skr did not have anyints since Tobias had patiently offered her an exnation. In the end,


    they came to a mutual understanding.


    As soon as Tobias left, Skr packed up and prepared to head to the set. When her phone vibrated, she


    fished it out and saw a message from Penelope.


    Penelope: How things are going between you and that old man? Give me all the details!


    Fortunately, Tobias had already left. Calling him an old man when he was only slightly over thirty was


    rather harsh.


    Skr: Just the usual. It’splicated.


    Penelope: Mature and steady men are overrated. These kinds of men fool around the most. I got my


    heart broken again. Come back soon and drink with me.


    Skr’s mouth twitched as she stared at the message. She seemed to recall Penelope saying the same


    thing less than two months ago.


    Somehow, she managed to fall in and out of love in just two months. Skr admired Penelope’s fast-


    paced love life. She seemed to change men faster than the seasons changed.


    Skr sent a few words offort to Penelope before hurrying out. She had just left when she bumped


    into Kai.


    He noticed the subtle marks on Skr’s fair and elegant neck. Needless to say, he knew what Tobias


    had done to herst night.


    Awkwardness nketed them.


    “Where’s Tobias?”


    “He left early in the morning. Were you looking for him?”


    Kai smiled. “No. You should hurry to the set now. You have many scenes today, so there’s no time to


    waste. Oh, right. I forgot to tell you. Jeremy has left the crew.”


    Skr was slightly taken aback. He was still with the crew the day before and didn’t finish filming his


    scenes yet. How did he finish so quickly?


    “He finished filming that quick?” she mumbled.


    Kai still found Skr too naive. How can she be with a cunning fox like Tobias? She wouldn’t even know


    whether she was being taken advantage of.

    “Because Tobias saw him, the producers requested for him to be switched out. I probably don’t need to


    say the rest of it, do I?”


    Skr instantly understood what Kai meant; Tobias was the one who got Jeremy to leave.


    Without mentioning anything about it to her, he eliminated Jeremy just like that.


    A chill ran down Skr’s spine. Tobias is too ruthless.


    At the set, Katrina was the first to approach her, calling out in an overly friendly voice, even drawing out


    the words, “Hey, babe!”


    Skr felt repulsed by this.


    Since when were we that close?


    She remained expressionless and did not bother putting up an act with her.


    Katrina held back her anger even though she was given the cold shoulder. After Skr walked away, she


    turned to her manager, Lisa, andined, “She’s just Tobias’ f**k buddy but look at her getting all


    cocky. Does she think she’s better than us now?”


    As there were many gossip mongers among the crew members, Lisa remained cautious and kept her


    mouth shut for fear of her words reaching Skr’s ears.


    Pillow talk could be lethal, especially when Tobias was involved. Lisa was not as stupid as Katrina who


    was the perfect definition of “just a pretty face.”


    In the beginning, she had wanted to use the scandal with Tobias to create hype, but their ns were


    foiled when the real deal arrived. In the end, Katrina did not even get the chance to talk to Tobias.
