Having not been contacted by IEE Magazine all day, Skylar went to call on Kate at the company.
Winnie’s outsized poster adorned the wall at the entrance to Royal Entertainment. Needless to say, this must, again, be the result of Sheldon’s artfulness.
Skylar paused briefly before the poster. Conspicuously showy and unabashedly audacious, Sheldon was considerably more adept at charming women than Tobias ever was.
The monumental photo-editing job on Winnie’s shot which transformed her five-foot-two frame into a leggy five-foot-ten could not have been more contrived.
Amelia and Kate were both inside the office when Skylar pushed through the doors, and something about the atmosphere felt a little off.
With her feet crossed, Amelia leaned back on the couch as she waited on Kate’s response, but was asked to leave by the latter when Skylar walked in. Amelia was then told that discussions over her concerns would resume the next day.
That did not please Amelia, who shot Skylar a look on the way out, intimating that there was no love lost between them.
The acute sense of crisis had only intensified for Amelia who became keenly aware of the fact that she had fallen out of favor with Kate.
All these could be attributed to Kate’s focus on Skylar’s development which in turn, neglected that of Amelia’s.
Skylar plopped herself down in the seat and said, “I’ve tried to call you several times to tell you that I was photographed without my consent, but wasn’t able to reach you.”
Kate was not surprised that this happened, as it would be impossible to keep things under wraps indefinitely.
Skylar then continued, “I’ve already told Tobias about it, but IEE Magazine still hasn’t reached out yet. Does that mean that the issue has been resolved? I’m still a little worried.”
Kate shrugged and replied, “If the matter has been resolved then, of course, they won’t be looking you up nor contacting the agency. But still, dating during this time will have massive repercussions on your career prospects, so you have to be careful whenever you go out with Tobias.”
