It was evident that the unsuccessful film had far-reaching consequences. It did not just impact her reputation but also her prospects of securing future endorsement deals.
The deal with McDonald's had been safeguarded only because Kate had done her very best to talk to them.
When Skylar saw Marcus' incoming call, she decided to decline it.
However, she reluctantly answered when he called her repeatedly. “Mr. Ford, are you calling to hold me accountable? I'm busy at the moment.”
Marcus chuckled. “The director is now shifting the blame onto you, yet you seem to be handling it quite well.”
Skylar replied, “Opinions may differ. It's clear to anyone who isn't blind who should shoulder the blame.”
Despite sensing Skylar's low spirits, he remained unperturbed, having become accustomed to her emotional state. Upon hearing a voice calling for her in the background, he decided to be direct. “When do you finish work today? I have something important to discuss with you.”
However, Skylar ended the call without replying.
As the clock needle neared ten, the director's voice resonated through the set, signaling the completion of the advertisement shoot. At long last, a wave of relief swept over Skylar's fatigued body. However, the aftermath of consuming more than a dozen hamburgers throughout the day left her so full she could puke.
When she was young, the opportunity to dine at McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken was a rarity for her. Indulging in their offerings during festive celebrations or even on her birthdays was a luxury she seldom experienced.
She vividly remembered the first time she had a spicy chicken burger when she was in junior high. Jeremy had bought it for her.
When she took her first bite, her taste buds danced with pleasure, and she couldn't help but relish the sheer deliciousness of the burger.
Jeremy urged her to relish the flavors and eat to her heart's content. His gaze remained fixated on her throughout the whole time.
