Chapter 383


    Though her pay was that of a C-list celebrity, Skr dared not overestimate herself, knowing that being


    in her prime right after her debut was only wishful thinking.


    It had been proven that she was right. The movie and the TV series only made the audience more


    familiar with her.


    The movie was still ying in the major theaters right now, but it only boosted the female lead, Katrina’s


    poprity.


    “This movie will be your masterpiece, and it might still be in another ten years. You must seize this


    golden opportunity.” With her eyes on the signed agreement, a contented smile broke across Kate’s face.


    Skr was the easiest actress she had ever worked with. Not only was the woman gifted and


    cooperative, but it also saved Kate a lot of hassle of securing jobs for her painstakingly.


    Tobias is such a keeper. He has paved the way for Skr, ensuring that she has a bright future.


    Before Skr could give Kate her word of honor, Tobias called and summoned her to the hospital.


    Like a cat on a hot tin roof, she rushed over to the hospital and found the man and her mother sitting in


    the cafeteria, facing each other.


    With exaggerated bodynguage, Miranda rambled on with much excitement, waving her hands


    vehemently in the air.


    Meanwhile, Tobias sat silently in utter stillness, as if he was an emotionless sculpture.


    Standing a few steps away from the man, Skr locked eyes with him. She had been trying to pull


    herself together on the way to the hospital, as she was afraid that she mightsh out at Miranda


    uncontrobly.


    “I’ve activated auto debit for your medical fee. You can stay here as long as you wish. I’ve done


    everything I should, so I’m taking my leave now.”


    Standing up, Tobias wanted to give Skr a reassuring pat on her shoulder. As the man lifted his hand,


    he suddenly realized that quite a number of people in the cafeteria were stealing nces at them.


    He was reminded that many knew Skr now. In order to keep their rtionship in the dark, he had to


    avoid any intimate interaction with her in public.


    Dropping his hand, he kept a distance from the woman.

    Skr was still holding a grudge against him, so she was eager to set the boundaries between them. “I’ll


    pay you back. I’ve signed the agreement, so the filming crew will pay me thirty percent of my sry in


    advance, and it’ll be more than enough to cover the medical fee.”


    Tobias gave her a dry smile. “No worries, it’s just a trivial matter. There’s no need to draw the line


    between you and me. Keep your sry. It’s your hard-earned money. Besides, you haven’t even


    received it. How can you think of spending it already?”


    He’s leaving me with no choice. I’ll have to give it back to him straight away afterward.


    As she watched him stride away, he didn’t even nce at Miranda, let alone saying goodbye.


    In fact, the man couldn’t wait to leave, reluctant to spend another second in Miranda’s presence.


    Skr took the seat where he sat earlier, facing her mother with her arms folded. The woman was


    fuming rage, yet she had to keep her cool in public.


    “You’re really something. I never expected you to get Tobias here and make him pay for your medical


    fee.”


    Miranda pursed her lips with displeasure. “How could you say that? We’re a family.”


    Skr gave the woman a death stare. “Dream on! You can stay here if you want to, but don’t you disturb


    Tobias ever again, or else you’ll put me in a tight spot.”


    Miranda shrugged nomittally without agreeing with her daughter. Thetter was on the verge of


    flying off the handle.


    In the evening, the sun turned red, casting a pinkish glow across the sky. Coming out of the hospital,


    Skr put on a pair of sunsses, and her head tilted up slightly.


    Instinctively, her gaze fell on Tobias, who was dressed in a well-cut ck suit. He’s still here.


    The woman then sauntered over to him in her high heels with a frigid expression. She had yet to get over


    yesterday’s argument.


    Though he came over because of Miranda, it didn’t mean that she was going to forgive him. What he


    does today cannot make up for the fact that he called me fake with a stern facest night. Women have


    the right to be unreasonable sometimes. Why not me then? Besides, I wasn’t being unreasonablest


    night.


    “Mr. Ford, are you waiting for me? I didn’t know you’re so free.”
