Amelia was upset that Kate was always siding with Skylar and said, “Kate, you’re too biased. You are giving all the good jobs to Skylar. All that’s left for me are just some random magazine shoots.”
Kate let out a self-deprecating laughter and answered, “You think too highly of me. Do you think I have a say in the cast of Empyrean Sword? You should be asking the higher-ups for an opportunity to be in it instead of me.”
Amelia replied awkwardly, “It doesn’t seem like the higher-ups truly treat Skylar well anyway, letting her star in that kind of show. If her popularity shoots up after the show is broadcast, it wouldn’t be surprising if her next step is to star in R-rated films.”
Sensing Amelia’s jealousy, Kate replied smilingly, “You shouldn’t be assuming what her stardom journey would be like. Skylar has God-given good looks that are meant for this industry, and you shouldn’t feel indignant over that. It would only be unfair if the both of you were equally attractive but she’s being favored.”
Meanwhile, Valerie had asked Susan out for a meal. The two of them had known each other for a long time. Having worked closely together previously, they had always maintained a good relationship.
After Royal Entertainment was set up by the Ford Group, Valerie was appointed as the executive president.
Even though Valerie was reluctant to take up the position, Tobias did not give her an option. As such, she had no choice but to leave Tobias’ side.
When Valerie saw Susan in the afternoon, she noticed how tired the woman looked and couldn’t help but ask, “Is it that busy at the office? You have lost so much weight! You were already very skinny, to begin with. If this carries on, I’m worried that you’ll be left with bones the next time I see you. How are you doing lately? You haven’t been replying to my messages.”
Susan added some ice cubes to her lemonade and gulped the entire glass down at one go in order to quench her thirst.
