Skylar had built a high tolerance toward criticisms because of Tobias—almost everything he said was insufferable.
Hence, she was able to stay calm. “Of course you can. Just let me know beforehand so I can prepare myself mentally.”
Tobias wanted Skylar to find security within herself, to grow stronger, so he played along. “How long in advance then? Does a minute before count?”
“Hmm. At least three days, I reckon. Three days should be enough for me to pack up and move out. I can’t be staying there after getting dumped, right? I’m not the type that would drag things out.”
“Alright then. Deal!”
Tobias’ response made Skylar grit her teeth. Everything he said gave him the necessary leeway in case something went wrong.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Skylar threw the blanket over Tobias’ head right away and asked him to stay there.
But instead, Tobias took off the blanket and went inside the washroom.
Kate stood at the door without going in and scanned the room. “Did you asked for room service? I’m not used to seeing your room so tidy. It was such a mess. I have told you many times to always keep things tidy. A messy room can affect your good fortune.”
Skylar responded with a nod.
Truth be told, Kate was there to rush Skylar as she was almost late for the shoot.
So, Skylar forwent doing makeup and immediately left, wearing a mask. The scene that day was going to be intense as it involved stunt wires.
The last time she did that, the wire snapped halfway through the shoot and she was traumatized. Skylar would still be in the hospital, or even dead, if she had not asked the crew to add more cushions as a safety precaution.
