Chapter 607 A Failure Of An Investment
Laurel regarded Hannah like the latter was a fool. Look at this girl. It’s obvious that she must have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and that’s why she has absolutely no idea what I’m talking about.
Having grown up shielded by her own privilege, Hannah was probably unable to fathom how one’s fate was often dictated by the conditions of one’s birth.
Skylar understood what Laurel meant, though. As someone who had similar experiences, she was better able to relate to the things Laurel said.
The car had not strayed too far when Skylar heard her phone ringing. Pulling it out, she saw that it was a call from Kate.
After she swiped the call through, Kate questioned before she could say anything, “Since when have you become acquainted with Marcus Ford? He said that you’ve agreed to have lunch with him but only on the condition that your manager is present. Hence, he wanted me to go along too.”
Skylar was speechless as she did not expect Marcus to hit up Kate when she only mentioned the latter in passing. “Sorry for bothering you. I was really just kidding around and didn’t think that he would take me so seriously.”
“Word has it that Marcus is Tobias’ younger brother, so it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing to accept his invitation. This could help build your connections in the entertainment industry, so don’t be such a hermit. Put yourself out there and make some new friends.”
Skylar reacted with a frown. Going out to dine and make friends? That’s easy for you to say, Kate.
If she and Marcus were to be photographed in each other’s company outside, Kate would definitely demand that she explain herself for feeding the tabloids again.
Following that, Skylar smiled and replied genially, “That sounds great. I’ll see to the arrangements as soon as possible. Who would resent being well connected?”
Kate laughed heartily in the belief that her counterpart was coming around. “That’s the spirit. Nothing to lose from making conversations over a nice meal. Just be careful that you don’t get photographed doing it.”
Wanting me to network and, at the same time, protect myself? She really has everything worked out.
Though she was chuckling away, Skylar’s expression had only grown increasingly dour by the minute.
