Chapter 336
Having not been contacted by IEE Magazine all day, Skr went to call on Kate at thepany.
Winnie’s outsized poster adorned the wall at the entrance to Royal Entertainment. Needless to say, this
must, again, be the result of Sheldon’s artfulness.
Skr paused briefly before the poster. Conspicuously showy and unabashedly audacious, Sheldon was
considerably more adept at charming women than Tobias ever was.
The monumental photo-editing job on Winnie’s shot which transformed her five-foot-two frame into a
leggy five-foot-ten could not have been more contrived.
Amelia and Kate were both inside the office when Skr pushed through the doors, and something
about the atmosphere felt a little off.
With her feet crossed, Amelia leaned back on the couch as she waited on Kate’s response, but was
asked to leave by thetter when Skr walked in. Amelia was then told that discussions over her
concerns would resume the next day.
That did not please Amelia, who shot Skr a look on the way out, intimating that there was no love lost
between them.
The acute sense of crisis had only intensified for Amelia who became keenly aware of the fact that she
had fallen out of favor with Kate.
All these could be attributed to Kate’s focus on Skr’s development which in turn, neglected that of
Amelia’s.
Skr plopped herself down in the seat and said, “I’ve tried to call you several times to tell you that I was
photographed without my consent, but wasn’t able to reach you.”
Kate was not surprised that this happened, as it would be impossible to keep things under wraps
indefinitely.
Skr then continued, “I’ve already told Tobias about it, but IEE Magazine still hasn’t reached out yet.
Does that mean that the issue has been resolved? I’m still a little worried.”
Kate shrugged and replied, “If the matter has been resolved then, of course, they won’t be looking you
up nor contacting the agency. But still, dating during this time will have massive repercussions on your
career prospects, so you have to be careful whenever you go out with Tobias.”
Skr wanted to tell Kate that she and Tobias mostly met up in bed only ofte because he had been far
too busy to take her anywhere else.
Nodding, she said, “I’ll be more mindful next time. By the way, am I taking away many of Amelia’s
resources? I heard that thest Fendi advert was originally meant for her, and she seems quite upset
about that.”

Kate smiled calmly at Skr’s question. “It’s a dog-eat-dog world—such is the nature of the
entertainment industry. Amelia’s television series has yet to be aired, so naturally, the spotlight will be on
you instead. All in all, I’ll say that it’s quite normal to be supnted. Why, is that something you are not
willing to do?”
Skr shrugged. “I wouldn’t say that, since you put it that way. Besides, it’s not like I’m the one who’s
being reced. I’m just a little concerned that there might be friction between her and myself going
forward.”
Kate had noticed Skr’s evolution from an easy-going, unassuming, and wide-eyed girl to an ardent
woman driven to sess.
That was understandable, seeing how she had fallen for a powerful man like Tobias, who would have
likely lost all patience with her were she to continue in her meekness.
Wild mares were born to ze across the grasnds, not to wallow in ditches.
“Have you met up with Tobias?”
Skr was taken aback. “How did you… Ah, I just told you we were photographed.”
Kate’s eyebrows perked up slightly. “Well, there’s that hickey on your neck.”
Skr reflexively reached for the spot where she had applied a gratuitous amount of concealer.
Apparently, there was no escaping Kate’s wickedly discerning eyes.
“What did he have to say about Harry and yourself?”
“Not much. He doesn’t seem too bothered.”
“You could take it that he’s either being supportive of your work, or he’s very confident that you’ll never
leave him.”
