In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 156

Meanwhile, Daryl tested his loudspeaker, but the interference of sound waves created a sharp buzzing sound.

He threw the loudspeaker on the ground in an irritated manner, and his assistant quickly brought a replacement for him.

After he got a new loudspeaker, he announced, “Things Of The Past—scene five. Action.”

Skylar started running through the lines in her head. She maintained a calm composure the whole time. She had attended numerous acting classes so performance anxiety wasn’t an issue.

Tobias was her only source of anxiety then. Whenever she was with him, she would feel nervous.

During the acting scene, Skylar grabbed Katrina’s arm, and just as she was about to say her lines, Katrina pushed her away in disdain.

“Katrina, what are you doing? Why did you push Skylar away? The two of you are supposed to be good friends during this scene. No conflict whatsoever,” Daryl exclaimed.

Katrina patted her sleeve on the spot where Skylar touched with her.

“My arm is itching badly. Skylar, could you go and wash your hands?” she said.

Skylar opened her hands to reveal her sparkling clean palms. She had taken a shower right before she left the house and she could still smell the fragrance of soap on her hands.

However, Katrina’s contemptuous tone made it sound as though her hands were full of germs.

Upset by the two actresses, Daryl interjected, “What’s going on between the two of you? Why are you talking about washing hands in the middle of the scene?”

While Katrina was still feeling agitated and uncomfortable, Skylar insisted, “The cleanliness of my hands does not affect our scene. It’s not as if I’m the male lead and we share a kissing scene.”

She did not make any compromises despite Katrina’s darkened expression and her status as a newcomer.

Daryl then told her, “Go and wash up. We can wrap up early if we manage to complete this scene.”

Seeing how everyone was against her, Skylar had no choice but to give in even though she did nothing wrong.
