Chapter 491


    Skr didn’t see Tobias off, as she was not in the mood to move at all. She was no courtesan, so there


    was no need for her to act like one by feigning coyness after having served a client and murmuring


    coquettishly, “Do hit me up again next time, handsome.”


    Noticing that Tobias was leaving just after a few hours, Madelyn felt sorry for Skr as a woman who


    had experienced much herself.


    Good heavens! He’s making it clear as day that he just came over to seek his gratification! No woman


    will be able to remain unfazed when the man simply leaves after using her body for pleasure. It would’ve


    been better if he’d just stayed the night. I wonder if he’s already married and has a wife and kids, so he


    can’t stay out overnight, she mused.

    Meanwhile, Skr was scrolling through her Instagram page. A former ssmate of hers during junior


    high school uploaded a picture of a newborn baby.


    Oh well, another person has gotten married and has a baby, aplishing all that’s important in


    life. She could feel her friend’s happiness radiating off the screen. Others’ rtionships have alle to


    fruition, but mine hasn’t even budded. I wonder how Penelope, who did things the other way round, is


    doing.


    She was currently burying her head in the sand, afraid to contact Penelope since she kept hounding her


    like a dog with a bone about joining the entertainment industry.


    She had gone to Kate, but thetter threw Penelope’s photo to the side after a single nce. Then, she


    went on to say that Penelope wasn’t beautiful enough besides having had a baby. The entertainment


    industry was no charity institution, so the requirements were much higher than that.


    The group chat with her former ssmates started pinging with messages again, but Skr rarely


    chimed in since she had nothing much to say.


    Nheless, some would still ask whether she was there, for they all thought that she was now rolling in


    money after joining the entertainment industry and was eager to ask her for a loan.


    Even those who never had a conversation with her asked for a loan to repay their credit card debts,


    housing loans, and so on.


    In short, there were various reasons for that. In the beginning, she lent them some money within her


    ability, but not a single person paid her back. At that, she realized their true colors and no longer did so


    most of the time.


    And that was precisely why there were rumors on the Inte that she became arrogant after bing


    famous and cklisted most of her former ssmates.


    As Empyrean Sword was set to be broadcasted soon, Skr was going to another city to promote the


    movie early next morning. She got up at five o’clock in the morning and arrived at the airport at almost


    seven o’clock.


    She deliberately applied no makeup in hopes that pictures of her barefaced at the airport would leak out.


    After all, Kate once said that her countenance was exquisite without any makeup.


    Theck of makeup gave her an innocent lookpared to her usual enchantress appearance. While


    there were few fans at the airport, there were quite a number of people who were there to take


    photographs for sale.


    Those people often kept watch at the airport and boldly aim their cell phones at celebrities’ faces,


    snapping away before selling the pictures to fans.


    Skr’s photos weren’t quite valuable, priced at only two hundred per piece on the Inte.


    She wore a mask and a baseball cap, but the brim of the cap wasn’t so low as to conceal her beautiful


    eyes.


    When she went to the VIP lounge, she coincidentally bumped into Tobias, who was also waiting for his


    flight.


    As there were a few crew members with her and a dozen imposing men in suits and standing beside


    Tobias, they merely exchanged a nce wordlessly.


    While doing so, Skr whipped out her cell phone and brandished it before Tobias.


    She then found a seat and sat down. The gazes of the men beside Tobias instinctually fixated on Skr


    since a beauty always attracted attention everywhere she went.


    Subsequently, Skr texted Tobias: I didn’t expect us to be on the same flight.


    To which Tobias replied: Is this destiny or coincidence?


    Well, I think it’s merely a coincidence since our destinies aren’t so intertwined, Skr inwardly reckoned.


    “Why don’t you go and ask her for her Instagram ount? There’s no need to be shy since celebrities


    are human, too. She’s beautiful and gentle, so she’ll make a good match with you. You might even be


    her type. I heard that Skr Jones doesn’t have a boyfriend, so why are you afraid when you’re so


    handsome and capable?”


    At his colleagues’ encouragement, Hector was emboldened.


    But a heartbeatter, Tobias lifted his cold eyes and stared at Hector. “Are you here to go on a business


    trip or to pick up girls? And you dare do it right before me?”
