Before she met Tobias, it had never crossed her mind that she would be involved with a man who was more than ten years older than her. Furthermore, she wouldn’t have imagined that his wealth could rival even that of countries.
As Skylar’s mind began to drift away, she would smile politely and take a cursory sip of wine whenever someone came to raise a glass at her.
Right then, the man toasting her was someone she had met once before—Maverick Sullivan, who managed a TV station.
The drama would take up the prime time slot on Channel 3 in Maverick’s TV station.
Maverick was short but very smart. However, he was so fat that his pot belly prevented him from buttoning his jacket.
In Skylar’s eyes, he was simply disgusting.
“Ms. Jones, you have a bright future ahead of you. Any drama broadcasted from our station will top the rating charts.”
Skylar smiled in response. Is he trying to blow his own trumpet?
“Mr. Sullivan, I appreciate the support you have shown us,” Skylar replied cordially.
When Maverick put his arm around her shoulder, Skylar avoided it discreetly, causing him to feel upset.
After Skylar sauntered away, all Maverick could do was to watch her silhouette. He did so for a long time before recovering his gaze reluctantly.
When his secretary came over, he whispered some instructions to him. A moment later, the secretary shoved a room card into Skylar’s hands.
Since it wasn’t his first time doing it, he handed over the card calmly. As for Skylar, she received the card with equal poise.
However, she put the card back into his pocket next. “Please thank Mr. Sullivan for his kindness.”
The secretary replied with displeasure, “Mr. Sullivan wants to take his relationship with you to the next level. Ms. Jones, are you playing dumb?”
Skylar’s expression was frosty. “Let me be frank. I’m not interested.”
The secretary stormed off, thinking that Skylar didn’t know what was good for her. After all, one needed Mr. Sullivan’s support before one could star in Channel 3’s variety shows and dinners.
