Chapter 473


    Skr pulled the zip of her jacket all the way up as a gush of cold wind blew past. As the woman was not


    warmly dressed, she was shivering from the cold.


    “I’m already freezing, so stop adding on to my misery,” she replied.


    Kai scratched his head and said, “I’ll get you some coffee. I can tell that you’re in a bad mood. Maybe


    some caffeine would help to boost your mood.”


    Skr shook her head and replied, “I’m in a rush. Besides, I’ll have to get prepared to be criticized when


    I get back.”


    Kai could tell that Skr was just brushing him off. Feeling disappointed, he merely replied, “You are


    looking more haggardtely. You’ve lost weight too. If you need someone to talk to, I’m always here for


    you. You know that my shoulder is always ready for you to lean on.”


    Standing at one side, Hannah could easily tell that Kai had feelings for Skr. However, Skr did not


    return any of that.


    If she were Skr, Hannah would definitely choose Kai over Tobias. Kai was always bright and cheerful.


    His easygoing mannerisms also made itfortable for others to be around him.


    On the other hand, Tobias always had an air of authority to him and was unnerving to be around.


    Skr already expected a storm to be brewing back at the office. Before she returned, the higher-ups


    had already received a call, informing them that the woman refused to film that scene and was putting on


    airs.


    Skr headed straight towards the dance studio when she got back. The trainees, who were all youthful


    and pretty, were staying upte to practice their dance moves.


    However, Skr could easily tell that most of those girls had undergone stic surgery with one look at


    those high cheekbones and perfect nose bridges.


    Skr was acquainted with all of them, but none of them could be considered her true friends. That was


    the way the entertainment industry worked.


    She simply stood at one side and observed their practice distractedly. Kate had given instructions for her


    to do that to learn the ropes, as the agency had ns to cut an album for her in the future.


    Even though Skr was a talented actress, she was not that gifted in singing and dancing. When she


    was in school, the teachers had also advised her that she wasn’t made to be a singer.


    Currently, Kate’s focus was all on Amelia. Kate was a realistic and shrewd woman. Thus, there was no


    way that she would pit herself against the higher-ups and defend Skr. She was just waiting for


    Valerie’s further instructions.


    A whileter, Skr was called into Valerie’s office. She knew that it was inevitable since Valerie had


    been making things difficult for her and pushing her as hard as she could.


    When Skr entered Valerie’s office, Valerie showed her a recording of her quarreling with the assistant


    director at the film set and chided, “Can you exin this to me? Thepany had fought for such a


    good opportunity for you, but you just had to ruin it.”


    Skr suspected that Valerie had specially gotten someone to film her argument with the assistant


    director, rendering her defenseless.

    “My image had always been an innocent one. Don’t you think it isn’t very fitting for me to remove my


    pants in front of the camera? If I’m single, I probably wouldn’t mind following thepany’s instructions,


    but I think it wouldn’t be worth it if my rtionship is affected by it. My boyfriend wouldn’t be happy if I do


    that,” Skr answered.


    Valerie’s temper sparked as she replied, “Are you using Mr. Ford to threaten me now? I can give you the


    answer right away – he wouldn’t mind it at all. Please do not think so highly of yourself.”


    Skr smiled cidly and replied, “Seems like you’re pretty close to my boyfriend, Ms. Fey. You even


    know his thoughts so well.”


    Valerie was indeed proud of her rtionship with Tobias. After all, she had been with him for eight years.


    Narrowing her eyes, she raised her hand slightly and fiddled with the beads on her wrist as she replied,


    “Mr. Ford knows that I keep having nightmarestely, so he bought me this crystal bracelet. He heard


    that crystals have calming properties. After I started wearing it, I stopped having nightmares, but


    unpleasant people started to appear in my life, polluting the air I breathe in.”
