Pollyanna nodded thankfully at her. Shyly, she asked, “Miss, can I call you Mom?”
This was a little shocking to Skylar. She shook her head and said kindly, “I don’t have any children yet. Just call me Skylar, okay?”
“Oh.” Pollyanna sounded a little crestfallen. She turned around and fled without looking back at her.
Kai saw this and said to Skylar, “Don’t be so kind to everyone you see. I’ve heard stories about the children here. Whenever they see someone from out of town, they act pitiful so they can get free food. Lots of people in the production crew have encountered this sort of incident.”
Skylar didn’t think much of it. Who cared if Pollyanna had tricked her out of her money? The kid was just peckish. There was no need to be so calculative about it.
Skylar and Kai made their way to the shooting location. Kai followed after her as Skylar led the way. His tall, bulky build completely shielded her body from the sun.
When they all got there, everyone’s eyes turned to Kai. Although he was a newbie in the industry, he held a rather prestigious status as the only son of Henry Group’s CEO. He was a walking God of Fortune.
Unbeknownst to Skylar, Henry Group had another connection to her. The CEO was Tobias’ uncle.
This made Tobias Kai’s older cousin. Anyone with a background as powerful as Kai’s was surrounded by bootlickers everywhere they went. Even the director himself was obliged to treat him favorably.
Katrina was the happiest person to see Kai’s arrival. Skylar couldn’t help but suspect that the two of them were somehow involved with each other.
Skylar’s scenes would only be starting filming tomorrow. She returned to her room to memorize her script again, conveniently steering clear of Jeremy.
When Jeremy found out that she had lost the role of the lead actress to Katrina, he started mocking her loudly whenever he saw her around the set. Seeing the malicious smile on his face, Skylar was so angry that she could hardly breathe.
She wormed into her bed and held her phone high up above her face. The signal here was horrible. The Wi-Fi router was basically a decorative item, and her data was working very poorly. It took her ages to send out one message.
She texted Tobias: Are you online? Have you returned from Thailand?
