At the same time, Tom couldn’t help but sigh. How long will she be able to keep up with that innocence? There is a high possibility she would fall for the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.
After completing the interview, Skylar politely bowed to Tom. Then, she turned and bowed to all the staff present and thanked them for their hard work.
By doing that, she had successfully boosted her already positive image further.
Kate entered the dressing room shortly after. Skylar had already changed out of her dress into jeans and a hoodie. She looked a far cry from the goddess that she was just moments ago.
When she heard the sound of heels clicking against the marble floor, she deftly asked about her performance earlier while taking off an earring. “Kate, how did I do?”
Kate gave her a praising look. “You did better than I expected. You held Tom Reyez’s undivided attention the whole time. He couldn’t keep his eyes off you at all. You have a certain charm that is irresistible to men. No wonder Tobias is so taken in by you. You have a captivating stare that is spellbinding.”
A hint of sadness lingered in Skylar’s eyes when she heard Tobias’ name. Kate had overestimated me. I’m not that important to Tobias. I’m just a plaything that he could summon and dismiss at his will. The man is terrifying.
He could perhaps be described as manipulative, even. One day, he could make you feel like the happiest woman in the world and the next, an abandoned woman, leaving you without a trace. There was nothing you could do except to wait for his return.
Though at times, it seemed like he was waiting for Skylar to take the initiative to contact him. However, most of the time, it seemed like he didn’t want to be disturbed. She never had a say in this game of his.
People tend to be vulnerable during nighttime. Skylar was wallowing in self-pity when Kate reminded her that her phone screen was flashing. Tobias’ name entered her vision.
Kate reminded, “Take note and remember to change his name. You will need to be careful in public as people will intentionally take photos of your phone screen. It will be difficult to guard against.”
