Chapter 568


    During the call, Sharon shrieked, “Are you helping us or not? If not, can’t you just tell us directly?”


    Skr had to move her phone away from her ear.


    She felt that she should take Tobias’ advice as this was clearly a bottomless pit.


    Meanwhile, Kate could sense that Skr was distracted. After all, Skr didn’t notice her presence


    despite standing behind her for a long time.


    All Skr did was stare nkly into space.


    “Have you familiarized yourself with the script of Love In 1978? The director is demanding an answer


    from us about the contract.”


    Given that she was lost in thought, Skr was given a fright when she heard Kate’s voice. Holding her


    hand over her heart, she turned around to face Kate.


    As Kate had been busy with Amelia’s matters recently, Skr found it difficult to meet her. Every time


    she called, Kate would reply that she was busy and end the call abruptly.

    Hence, Skr was upset with Kate’s half-hearted attitude toward her. By focusing on Amelia, she felt that


    Kate had neglected her. Although Kat couldn’t be everywhere at once, Skr still expected her to carry


    out her basic duties well.


    Biting her lip, Skr shook her head. “I don’t feel like epting the role. The plot just isn’t engaging


    enough. Given that they are rushing toplete the movie in time for the holiday season, it would likely


    be a flop at the box office. I do not want such a stigma on me in my very first movie as the lead.”


    Kate didn’t argue as Skr was right about the script. It wasn’t as good as Pretty Detective in terms of


    theme and plot. Furthermore, the director was rushing toplete it before the holidays.


    However, her intention was to get Skr a piece of the holiday film market.


    Disappointed, Kate furrowed her eyebrows. “I feel that the scripts that suit you the most now are low-


    budget movies like this. It’s easier for you to be a dark horse given the low expectations. Besides, you


    can’t say that it’s a definite flop yet.”


    Skr could sense Kate’s displeasure. If she continued to be picky, she would likely end up with no work


    before the holidays.


    Given how obvious Kate had made it, Skr decided to take a gamble. Perhaps, she could still use her


    connections to get the screenwriter to make some amendments.


    Having gone through the script, she found it to be boring. Even the jokes didn’t sound funny.


    Skr asked candidly, “Kate, why have you been focusing all your efforts on Amelia recently? Have I


    done something to upset you?”


    Staring at Kate’s increasingly short hair and the ring on her finger, Skr suddenly recalled that Amelia


    had shown off a simr ring in a selfie on her Instagram.


    Given that both Kate and Amelia were wearing the same ring and Kate saw Amelia as a star, a sudden


    realization dawned upon Skr.


    If what she assumed was true, it was a signal that she was falling behind the times.


    Kate replied with a shrug, “Thepany’s focus changes all the time. Given how important the Pretty


    Detective is to them, I would definitely have to keep a close eye on it. Besides, Amelia started acting


    earlier than you did and is a good actress in her own right. Hence, there’s nothing wrong with promoting


    her.”


    Recovering her intense gaze, Skr gave Kate a perfunctoryugh. “Alright then, Kate.”


    While waiting for the car in front of the office, Skr somehow felt that she was being followed. Over the


    last few days, thendline at her house would ring inexplicably at midnight.


    Madelyn was so frightened by it that she lost her rationality, saying that the house was haunted. Not


    daring to answer, she hid in her room and refused toe out.


    After a few consecutive days of it urring, Skr could no longer take it and rushed out of the bedroom


    to answer. When she heard chillingughter over the phone, it caused her hair to stand on end.


    Other thanughing, the caller didn’t say anything else.


    Meanwhile, when the bone-piercing cold wind blew across her face, she quickly stuffed her hands into


    her pockets when she felt them freezing in the cold.


    As the driver had yet to arrive and Hannah had gone on a date with her online boyfriend, she was left all


    alone.


    Just a few days ago, Hannah was crying over her breakup. Later on, Skr found out that Hannah had


    been using her photo to catfish her boyfriend online.


    Skr was infuriated when she first heard about it given what Hannah did was wrong. However, Skr


    let the matter slide after censuring her.


    Furthermore, Skr told Hannah that someone like that wasn’t worth her time. Hence, breaking up was


    the right thing to do.


    At that time, Hannah had promised her that she would not contact her boyfriend. However, in just two


    days, both of them had reconciled and wanted to meet each other.
