A hint of displeasure flashed past Skylar’s face when she heard that. No woman would like to know that her man had bought a gift for another woman, no matter how valuable that gift was.
“Since I’ve breached the contract, I’ll be responsible for the damages and won’t let the company suffer any losses. I hope that in the future, you can be more careful when arranging jobs for me. It doesn’t matter if my career is affected by the frequent breaches of contract, but it wouldn’t be desirable if others think that our agency doesn’t manage its artistes well. Besides, some might even speak poorly of you, Ms. Fey.”
Valerie could tell that Skylar was a smart woman who had good control over her emotions. She had tactfully managed to use the company’s reputation to threaten her. It was also obvious to Valerie that Skylar was not pleased with her close relationship with Tobias, but she did not mention a single word about it.
With a scornful smirk, Valerie replied, “You do know that you’re risking your future in this industry, right? Since we can make you a success, we can also bring you down easily.”
Skylar shrugged nonchalantly and said, “Well, doesn’t matter to me. I don’t see much potential in myself currently. I only know that my days won’t be easy as long as you’re around.”
After Skylar decided to speak openly about the situation, Valerie replied coldly, “Not everyone has the right to be picky. Don’t assume that you will be successful just because you are pretty. You still have a long way to go. If you continue to be so greedy, you might end up with nothing.”
Before Skylar turned around and left, she said, “I’ll remember you’re teachings, Ms. Fey. Thanks for your kind reminder too. I’m sure I’ll get everything I want in the end. I have nothing much to do now and have all the time to wait for good things to come to me.”
The woman heaved a sigh of relief as she walked out of Valerie’s office. At the same time, the forced smile on her face disappeared at once. Even though she was unsure previously, after that encounter, she could confidently conclude that Valerie’s attitude towards her was because of love turned into hatred.
Skylar knew that she had done nothing wrong. Her only mistake was that she had unknowingly snatched Valerie’s man.
Valerie and Tobias had worked closely together for many years, and no one, apart from the both of them, knew the extent of their relationship.
If it was just Valerie’s unrequited love towards Tobias, she must be quite a sentimental woman.
