Skylar was supposed to go for the audition for Pretty Detective at first, but Amelia managed to steal that spot through Kate after pictures of her were spread online.
To add insult to injury, Skylar was the last one to find out that Amelia had replaced her as the lead actress of the show.
The sky was already dark and gloomy before it was even noon that day as Skylar and Kate sat across each other in a café.
Their coffee had turned cold, and neither of them had touched their food much.
“Why didn’t I even get a chance to the audition? I was originally chosen for the lead role, so why is Amelia the one holding it now?” Skylar didn’t want to lose her role as a lead actress without even knowing why. She felt the need to bring it up with Kate or she could miss out on even more opportunities in the future.
Kate has found herself a few new faces lately, so Amelia and I are no longer the only celebrities working under her. Well, Kate was never the type to invest everything into a single celebrity to begin with. She wants to come out on top of the food chain in the entertainment industry, so having just one celebrity under her simply isn’t enough.
Skylar couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed as her efforts and preparations for the lead role had all been for nothing when Kate chose Amelia instead.
“You were caught going on a date with some mysterious guy, and pictures of it went viral on the internet. As you know, the negative publicity was very damaging for your reputation. Amelia, on the other hand, has no such issue because she knows how to carry herself in public. Besides, I can’t have you hogging all the good stuff while everyone else gets the scraps now, can I? That wouldn’t be very fair to the others,” Kate replied.
