Skylar frowned. I’m pretty sure I didn’t stutter. Did he not hear me well? ”The company has somehow blacklisted me, so I don’t have any work to do at the moment. No commercial to shoot, no performance to do.”
Tobias took out his phone from his pocket and scrolled through his contacts to find Valerie’s number.
Skylar immediately stopped him. “No, I don’t need your help. Thanks, but I can handle it on my own. I don’t think she can do that for long. If I still don’t have any job opportunity once the film is aired, that’s considered abuse of power. I’m not blacklisted without reason. It’s because I refused to be the host of a children’s show and defied the company’s arrangement for me, so it’s not her fault.”
He rested his chin on his hand and looked at her. “What the hell? A host for a kids’ show? Is she out of her mind?”
Skylar put up a tough front and insisted that she could handle it by herself.
He eventually relented and let her be as he also wanted to give Valerie a chance to come to her senses before he took action.
One day, in late November, the cold wind swept across the city, and the temperature dropped sharply.
The weather changed quickly. It felt like early spring yesterday, but the city was as cold as ice on the next day.
Since Tobias had nothing much to do at home, he accompanied Skylar to have some paperwork done at the university.
She wanted to get back to class as soon as possible, but winter break was around the corner, so she had no choice but to extend her leave of absence before her authorized leave came to an end.
Now that her popularity had increased, she beat Avery and became the campus diva. Unfortunately, as the most popular girl, she spent very little time at the university.
To avoid any hassle, she did not want Tobias to enter the university building with her. Therefore, she asked him to park the car nearby as he waited for her in the car.
Looking through the window, Tobias saw a young couple not far away from him. They were wearing matching T-shirts with jeans and canvas shoes of similar color.
The girl was sipping on her coffee while the guy took a muffin out of the paper bag in his hand and brought it to her mouth.
