Chapter 540
Smile for the camera. Rx. Give off the clear, gentle aura of a midsummer night’s dream.
When the photographer and Skrter went over the pictures they’d taken, they quickly discovered that
she looked like she was forcing a smile in nearly every one of them.
It was as if someone had been holding a gun to her head and made her do this photoshoot.
“I’ll take a moment to organize my feelings, and we can do a retake soon after,” Skr offered
apologetically.
Noticing the ne around Skr’s neck, the photographer shook his head. “I think you should take
that off and ask one of the stylists to give you a new one.”
She reached out a hand to gingerly touch the ck swan pendant. Though she had grown attached to
her birthday present, she eventually relented and switched it out.
It waste afternoon when the photoshoot finally wrapped up. Skr approached Molly right before she
left, saying, “See you soon. Let’s go out for a meal together next time.”
“When? I don’t want this to be an empty promise.”
She hadn’t expected Molly to be so blunt. Of course, her invitation had indeed been nothing more than
an empty promise, but she couldn’t go back on her word now. “Tomorrow night. I’ll text you the rest of the
details.”
This dinner meet-up would be a good excuse for her to invite Penelope out. They hadn’t seen each other
since Penelope gave birth, and it couldn’t be good for her mental health to stay indoors for so long.
Perhaps it might ease the woman’s grudge against her if she came out for a breath of fresh air.
Skr was still truly at a loss as to what she had done wrong for Penelope to get pissed at the mere
sight of her.
Meanwhile, Molly was glowing with pride after getting asked out to dinner by Skr in front of so many
people.
In her opinion, Skr had been smart to choose her, out of everyone, to be besties with.
Molly was already prepared to take a picture with Skr after they had dinner. She could post it on
Instagram and gain more followers.
Her fellow trainee, Lisa, enviously mumbled, “Skr’s literally untouchable within ourpany. I just
don’t know where she got such good connections and resources.”
Molly sighed. Rumors were going around thepany about Skr’s close rtionship with the CEO of
Ford Group and the head of Royal Entertainment, Tobias Ford.
She had spotted Skr walking together with a man the other day, and had also bumped into him
herself. Could that have been Tobias Ford?
She didn’t know what he looked like; after all, she’d never had the right to personally meet the CEO.
Quickly regaining herposure, Molly replied, “Who cares? As long as you work hard, your efforts will
be repaid.”
That’s an immature ideal,mented Lisa. It was true that hard work was part of sess, but you couldn’t
seed in the entertainment industry purely through hard work and without any connections.
People with and without connections started the race on apletely different starting line. Skr had
only enjoyed the best opportunities ever since her debut; a far cry from the trainees who practiced from
day to night daily for a single chance at possibly debuting.
Skr started going through her bag as soon as she got in the car, flipping out every pocket and double-
checking everything before smacking her own forehead.
“What’s wrong?” asked Hannah. “Did you forget something at the studio?”
“My ne…” Skr reached up to touch her bare neck. “I forgot where I left it. We have to go back to
find it.”

Hannah gave her a confused look. If she remembered correctly, Skr’s ne had been a basic,
cheap Swarovski design.
Skr rarely wears jewelry. What’s so special about this particr piece?
“Was it a gift from your first boyfriend or something?”
Skr furrowed her eyebrows. There was no way Jeremy would be so generous as to gift her a
ne.
“No, it was a birthday present from Tobias.”
