Chapter 377
Since things had already concluded, there was nothing more Josiah could say. He was forced to give in
to money. “I’ll negotiate your next job with your manager. I hope you don’t cause trouble for me.”
Skr looked at him with sparkly eyes as she said countless words of gratitude and expressed her
determination.
The sight made Kate dumbfounded. Moments ago, she had thought that Skr was not being
enthusiastic enough. However, in a split second, she seemed to have be a different person.
It’s pretty hard to guess this littledy.
Just then, Valerie called on Skr to head upstairs.
Concerning Valerie, Skr did know quite a bit about her matters. Apparently, she had been beside
Tobias when he was first starting his own business.
Simrly, he also attached great importance to Valerie. For instance, he had directly made her the
executive president of Royal Entertainment.
As soon as Skr entered the office, Valerie asked, “Have you been through the discussion with Mr.
Zimmermann?” She then turned off theputer and leaned back on the chair. As usual, her gaze was
aggressive.
In Skr’s eyes, Valerie’s appearance looked mean. They say that one’s appearance determined about
a third of one’s personality. Thus, there was perhaps no artiste in thepany who was not afraid of
Valerie. In secret, they were calling her Madam Killer and Devil.
The title of “Madam” tantly mocked Valerie’s single status, for she was already in her thirties but had
no man. Some said that even male flies did not go near her.
Skr replied, “It’s basically confirmed. I haven’t received the script yet though.”
Valerie then said, “There’s no hurry. It will take some time for the project to begin, for nning to start,
and for the actors to receive special training. As for you acting as the female protagonist, I’m not
optimistic about it.”
Even though Skr had to hear such frustrating words, there was still a signature fake smile on her face.
“If my acting is bad, I can practice. My acting skills have to be good enough for me to pass.”
Valerie sneered. She had on a sarcastic, contemptuous smile as she said, “I quite hate people who rely
on rtions. I came from the countryside and worked hard to get myself to where I am today. But others
can easily get what someone else wants. It’s no different from getting something without doing anything.
This time, Mr. Ford specifically said he wanted you to act in it. ording to your market ratings, many
others in thepany surpass you. So technically, this role shouldn’t be yours… Do you understand?”
Upon hearing her words, Skr felt embarrassed. Her entire body heated up, and it felt like she had
nowhere to hide.
However, she had no way to rebut Valerie. If it were not for Avery, she would never have epted
something she had not gained by herself either.

Avery had snatched too many things away from her…
Skr took a deep breath and replied, “I’ll remember your words, Ms. Fey. I won’t give up on this role. If
we only blindly follow the market ratings, those at the bottom will never make it in the industry. In the first
ce, it is a very unfair model.”
Valerie sneered. “There’s not a lot of fairness in the world. Did you get that role fairly? I hope Mr. Ford
doesn’t hear about whatever I told you today. But even if he knew, it’s no big deal. We’ve gone through a
lot together for so many years. You’ve only been beside him for a short white. I think we have to be self-
conscious.”
Little by little, the sky darkened outside, just as Skr’s mood did.
Unable to hide her emotions, Skr’s bad mood and unhappiness were all written on her face.
As soon as Skr came out from Valerie’s office, Kate had noticed the clues and sensed that something
was wrong with her. She appeared to have taken a blow.
Thus, Kate asked, “What did Valerie say to you? You look so lifeless.”
Skr replied, “Nothing much. It’s not anything pleasant, but you can’t find any reason to argue back too.
I’ll just listen and forget it.”
Kate smirked. “You can also interpret it as she’s jealous of you.”
