“I’ve already told Valerie. The company is fixed on this. It’s not like you can just disregard their decision.”
Skylar finally snapped. “Is Valerie behind this, or Winnie?”
Kate tapped her cigarette against the ashtray and sat up. “I think it’s Winnie. She’s really close to Valerie lately. Didn’t you see the photos they posted on Instagram? They have been hanging out a lot.”
Since Kate had already accepted things as they were, Skylar decided to just fight for herself. Hosting kids’ shows was no easy task. This was not something the company should entrust to a rookie, but somehow, it just landed on her.
“What do you think you’re doing? There’s no use making a huge fuss out of it. You should just talk to Tobias instead. He’ll be able to help you.” Kate stopped her before Skylar did anything rash, but the latter insisted.
When Skylar barged into Valerie’s office, Winnie was also inside. Both of them were discussing which gown Winnie should wear for the gala that evening.
Skylar was also attending the event, but her outfit was switched at the last minute. She would be wearing a piece sponsored by Zara.
As for Winnie’s outfit, it went without saying that the price was exuberant.
Skylar invited herself in and sat down on the couch before Valerie could say a word.
“I’m not hosting the kids’ show. I just finished filming Empyrean Sword, so by right, I should take time away from the screen. I don’t see why I should be on set with a group of kids every day.”
Over on the other side of the room, Winnie crossed her leg and looked at Skylar smugly. “A kids’ show? I’m so sorry to hear that. Are you gonna wear a mascot costume then? It must be hot though.”
“You still don’t have what it takes to choose which show you go on. People are choosing you instead and the company has decided on that,” Valeria said sternly.
