But still, Skylar Jones has stayed rather long by his side now. I keep hoping that I’ll be the one filling the vacant space beside him but to no avail. Valerie’s illusions gradually disappeared alongside the despair that came time and again.
Tobias then told Valerie to ponder upon it, saying that he’d send someone to take over tomorrow if she truly felt that she wasn’t suited to the job. Humans were an ambitious bunch, and plenty of people coveted the position of executive president of Royal Entertainment.
When he left, Valerie stared at his retreating figure that appeared tall and strong.
That night, Skylar was notified that she was to attend a red carpet event the next day. It was a charity gala by Harper’s Bazaar.
At this time every year, female celebrities quivered in excitement as they contended for opportunities to attend red carpet events.
That charity gala was basically attended by A-list celebrities.
When Skylar suddenly received the invitation, she skeptically confirmed it with Kate.
Kate then affirmed her attendance before adding, “Your schedule will be packed in the days to come. There are a few good scripts for you now, and Empyrean Sword has already been approved.”
Whoa! This is a one-eighty in the company’s attitude toward me. As Skylar stared at the ceiling, she could seemingly see Valerie’s face projected there. She definitely wouldn’t have changed her mind all of a sudden, so Tobias must have understood my hesitance that day and spoken to her.
That night, Tobias also asked her out for coffee. She hung up on him twice, but in the end, she still wrapped herself in a coat and braved the freezing wind.
The illumination of the streetlights elongated her silhouette, reflecting it onto the road that was carpeted with golden maple leaves.
She then arrived at the location Tobias sent her. It was a café that operated 24/7. When she pulled open the door and stepped in, she caught sight of him waiting for her in a black coat in the corner.
The lighting was dim in the corner, so much so that she couldn’t discern his expression. But still, he commanded attention despite his face being obscured.
