In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 163

Skylar took a sip of the rich and creamy soy milk. “I'm going to do mymakeup now. I'm fine with just a glass of soy milk.”

As soon as she opened the door to the makeshift dressing room, shewas instantly greeted by a wave of chilly air. The air conditioner was onfull blast, keeping the room's temperature at its lowest.

The next moment, she was stunned to see Katrina lying on a militarycamping cot with a Hermes blanket covering her body while a stylistwas kneeling before her, doing her makeup.

Standing beside Katrina was her assistant, who was holding a bouquetof roses under her request to fill the room with the scent of it.

Had Skylar not seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have known thatthose rumors on the internet about Katrina's diva behavior were not atall exaggerated.

Katrina opened her eyes at the slight squeak of the door. “Shush! I'mtrying to get some rest here!”

Disregarding her insolence, Skylar took a seat at the vanity table,waiting for the stylist to do her makeup.

When she was done with her makeup, Katrina was still lying lazily,enjoying the scent of the roses.

Skylar thought that her look was ugly today. Her outfit was acombination of red and green, while her skin was tanned. Although itwas a healthy skin color, it had concealed the natural beauty of herglass skin.

Katrina only came out of the dressing room when Skylar was almostdone with her part of the shooting.

Although Daryl had reminded the makeup artist to tan her skin, still, thefoundation on Katrina's face was a few shades lighter than it wassupposed to be. It didn’t take a genius to know that she had once againdisobeyed Dylan's instruction.

Her skin tone didn't suit the image of a village girl; instead, it made herlook more like a Victorian socialite living in the city.

Upon seeing Kai, who was standing on the sidelines watching Skylaract, she signaled her assistant to hand her phone over to him. “Youhaven't given me Tobias’s contact number.”

With a deadpan expression, Kai turned her request down. “I'm sorry,but I can't give it to you. That's a violation of privacy. If you really wantto get his number, you can always ask from other people.”

Hearing that, Katrina's face darkened. She knew that even if she were toask people around her, no one in her social circle would happen toknow Tobias in person since the latter was someone of high society.

As the day's shooting came to an end, Daryl called Skylar over to guideher on her acting skills. He pointed out her weaknesses, saying that sheshould have more confidence and be more expressive with her eyes.He was sitting with his legs crossed while Skylar was standing meeklybefore him like his student. Unbeknownst to him, however, her mindhad long wandered off.

She was eager to check on her phone in the locker because Tobias,having a change of plans, said he would come and meet her that day.She was worried he couldn't replace the location

The moment Daryl let her go, she raced into the dressing room like ahorse out of the gate to grab her phone. To her disappointment, sheonly saw two app notifications.

Just then, a sudden tap on her shoulder startled her. She turned aroundto replace Kai standing close to her, his face inches away from her.

"You scared me! What are you doing here?” she asked. The annoyancewas clear in her voice.

“I just heard that Jeremy is your ex. Don't you feel awkward to be castin the same film with him?” Kai came to seek verification from her oncehe heard about the news.

Skylar slammed the locker shut with a clang. “It's not like I can doanything about it. I can't possibly tell the director that I'm quitting, can12" She rolled her eyes at him internally before asking, “Do you knowany place where I can take a shower? It's been a week since I last took ashower.”

There was no bathing facility in her room, and there was no runningwater in the place to begin with. Every night, she could only cleanherself by heating the water in the thermos and pouring them into abasin.

Since Tobias promised that he will give her pleasure previously, sheknew that Tobias would have intimacy with her when he visits later. Itwould be embarrassing if she met him with a stinky body and filthyhair.

It took a while for Kai to respond to the sudden change of topic. Hethought for a while before answering, “Even I don’t have a bathingfacility in my room. Why don't I ask my assistant to drive you to thecounty? You can take a shower there.”

His suggestion brought a smile to Skylar's face. “Thanks. I owe you one.I'll treat you to a meal next time.”

“Next time?” Kai said seriously, “Give me an exact date to show yoursincerity.”

“When the film shooting ends.”

Kai was satisfied with the answer he got. “I'll be looking forward to itthen.”

Since there was no shooting on her part in the afternoon, Skylar took aride on Kai's car, heading to the county to take her shower. On her waythere, she called Tobias several times but couldn't reach him.
