“If Largo confessed his feelings to you, what will you do about Tobias? Did the two of you break up?” Kate broke in, springing forward in her anxiety.
Skylar’s bluff had evidently confused the room. Even Kate seemed to have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
Skylar lowered her gaze, fiddling with her dress. “We didn’t break up. He’s currently sleeping in my room. I don’t know what his plans are for today.”
“Tobias is here? Why didn’t you ask him to make an appearance on set? His presence would make everyone, even the producers, a lot warier,” Kate earnestly continued, believing.
Skylar hastily retreated. “Forget it. Tobias doesn’t like to draw attention to himself. I’m not too sure why he came over to visit me today, either.”
At that moment, Jane ran into the dressing room to inform Avery that Largo had returned. Thunderously, Avery stomped out of the room to seek him out and confront him.
Largo was in his motorhome replying to messages when Avery entered. Placing his phone down on the table with its screen face down, Largo replied, irritated, “What are you doing? Didn’t we agree to keep our distance on set? Why did you have to follow me around so closely today? You’re being childish. What’s so urgent that you have to come over right now?”
Avery was beside herself. She was used to men fawning over her and hanging onto her every word, not this disrespect that she was now receiving from Largo.
Avery slammed her fist onto the table and almost spat at Largo, saying, “Largo! You said very clearly that you were serious about being in a relationship with me. We even talked about going public to let everyone know that we’re together!”
