Chapter 264


    Amelia was wearing skintight athleisure wear thatplemented her slim, gorgeous body well. If Skr


    had to guess, Amelia couldn’t have weighed much more than forty kilograms.


    Now that’s what I call a skinny legend. You could start a fish pond in the hollow of those corbones.


    As fellow artists under the same manager, she felt obliged to greet Amelia.


    Skr waved at her as she wiped off some sweat with a towel.


    “I haven’t congratted you yet on getting a female lead role before graduating,” Amelia said, a hint of


    contempt in her voice.


    Skr replied humbly, “I was just lucky, that’s all.”


    Amelia’s sharine sweet giggle that followed sounded mocking.


    “It’s not as if your luck just came to you out of nowhere. Tell me, do you call your benefactor “daddy” in


    bed?”


    Skr’s smile instantly froze on her face. She did, in fact, have a vague memory of being forced by


    Tobias to call him “master”.


    But she would never be so perverted as to call him “daddy”.


    Amelia interrupted her train of thought by continuing, “That lead role was actually supposed to go to me,


    you know. But I gave up the chance and so, it went to you. I hope you’ll always stay that lucky.”


    Skr wiped the smile from her face, her gaze turning sharp. “I hope so too… And I also hope that you


    won’t ever give up your opportunities for my sake again.”


    Giving her a sidelong nce, Amelia huffed. “Showbiz goes through new generations of artistes and


    entertainers with a very high turnover rate. Maybe you should put more effort into making sure your


    benefactor stays by your side. I’m not as fortunate as you are and grew up in a strict household, so I


    can’t possibly imagine selling my body out in order to make a name for myself.”


    “Please don’t worry about me! I was born with a natural determination and talent for doing unimaginable


    things,” Skrughed innocently.


    From Amelia’s point of view, Skr was broken to the point of no return. How else could someone do


    something so immoral and scandalous and not be ashamed of themselves, but take pride in it instead?


    Skr decided to stop talking to Amelia, havinge to the conclusion that Amelia probably just felt


    indignant and bitter about Skr’s new role. Don’t me me, me Kate… She’s the one who used to


    spoil you by focusing all her time and resources on you, and you alone.


    Being forced to give up the lead role to someone else must not have been easy, but Skr could care


    less.


    When Skr left Royal Entertainment, it was already afternoon and she had yet to hear from Miranda.


    She couldn’t stop feeling antsy ever since Miranda was released. There was an incessant worry that


    Miranda might cause trouble, or get involved with the Joneses again.


    When she got home and pushed open the door, she was surprised to see Tobias at home. It was out of


    character for him to return so early.


    The man was seated on the sofa, head lowered as he ate his sd slowly and carefully with a


    disposable fork.


    If he live-streamed himself eating and covered up that handsome face of his, no one will ever watch it.


    His attitude was too prim and proper while eating, and it made his food seem unappetizing somehow.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Skr set her bag down and went to wash her hands beforeing back to the living room to ask him,


    “Why are you home so early? Where’d the sde from?”


    She expected for him to say that Susan or another one of his secretaries had bought it for him.


    Tobias handed her a container of food that he had left untouched in its stic bag, having bought it for


    her to eat.


    “I ordered it on my phone.” He had finished the sd and started eating the leftover chicken slices.


    Skr giggled quietly. Tobias was making speedy progress considering that he didn’t even know how to


    pay bills using his phone a while ago.


    Maybe she should be concerned that Tobias had been with her for so long, he had started stooping to


    her level and ordering delivery food.


    Early the next morning, Skr was awakened by her phone nearly blowing up with notifications from


    Instagram.


    Her follower count had grown by ten million overnight. She even looked at the number three times over


    to make sure that her bleary eyes weren’t fooling her.


    Tobias had been woken up by Skr’s movements as well, draping his arm over her waist and slipping a


    hand into her underwear without even bothering to open his eyes.
