Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 148

Daryl had seen many arrogant newbies in the industry—some of them refused to take up smaller roles, believing that anything else but lead roles were beneath them. He had a strong dislike for this sort of people—how important did they think they were?

Skylar tugged at her sleeves and replied immediately, “When can we sign the contract? If I don’t grab this chance now, someone else might come along and take it.”

Daryl beamed proudly at her. This girl was smart enough to know when she should treasure an opportunity.

He still felt a little sorry for her. He had directed commercial films for years before his career in making art films. These sort of films showed off his artistry but often did mediocrely at the box office. This meant that the investors called the shots—he had no choice but to accept whoever they had selected as the lead actress.

Daryl looked at Skylar’s pretty face and saw that fatigue was written all over it. Kindly, he said, “Why don’t you take a rest now and familiarize yourself with the supporting actress’ lines? It’d be great if you could finish memorizing them in three days. Any problems?”

Although she was panicking inside, Skylar nodded at him. Memorizing everything in three days was going to prove particularly difficult, and she couldn’t guarantee that she would be able to do it.

A murmur ran through the room as the crowd of people parted to let someone through. Behind Skylar, Daryl explained, “This is the new lead actress, Katrina Hudgens. You’ll be acting in a lot of scenes together, so make sure to run through your lines with each other.”

By the time he finished speaking, Katrina had already walked up to them. Her manager, Lisa, and her personal assistant followed behind her.

Although it was cloudy, her personal assistant was holding a huge umbrella over her head.

Skylar recognized Katrina instantly. She used to be the most popular girl at the acting academy. She was beautiful beyond comparison and had a figure that was tall and alluring like no other. Avery might consider herself a great beauty, but Katrina was far more beautiful than Avery could ever be.

However, despite knowing her name, Skylar had never seen her works.

After she got together with Tobias, Skylar had read up on some tabloid news about him. Katrina was photographed meeting up with Tobias—the two of them had gone into a hotel and only left together the next morning.

Katrina had always been very ambiguous about the rumors swirling around Tobias and herself. It only made people more intrigued.

Even now, everyone still knew Katrina as Tobias’s secret mistress.
