In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 246

Harry debuted in a talent show and emerged as the champion thatyear.

Skylar remembered that she actually voted for him via SMS and wascaught by her grandmother. She was even punished for it because itwas a waste of money.

Then, Kate appeared at the audition. She had always been a busyperson, the audition was no exception. The first thing she did once shearrived was greeting the casting director of the audition, asking him togive some extra care towards her two artistes.

A great manager would always replace a way to get their artistes some sortof special treatment in situations like this.

For Kate, it was a simple task to accomplish with all the connections shehad in the industry.

The Director, Vensa Roy, had directed quite a few popular series in thepast few years. She even had a title like The Mother of Drama Series.During the audition, Skylar just sat there, quietly watching theperformance by the other talents. Until finally, her name was called.Hence, she put down the script and went on stage.

The part that she got was a difficult one. As the female lead, the familyhad gone bankrupt from a failed business endeavor. Her father washospitalized and her mother committed suicide because she could nothandle the situation. The scene was set in the funeral house where thefemale lead went to see her mother.

Kate was at the side, thinking that Skylar had really bad luck becauseshe got such an unlucky scene.

However, Skylar knew that the most important thing to show in anaudition was her presence. No matter what role she had, she needed toexhibit enough presence. Thus, Skylar imagined herself as a one ofthose big celebrities that won multiple awards. That way she wouldhave enough presence to outshine the other competitors.

She took in a deep breath. I must succeed. Skylar needed to replace a wayto stand out in the entertainment industry. If she ended up being somesecond-rate artiste, she would never be able to raise her head in frontof Tobias. Skylar needed to shorten the gap between them for theirrelationship to last.

If she stayed the way she was and let Tobias take care of her, he wouldeventually get bored of her. Tobias had the means to replace someone newfor sure.

By then, Skylar would have nowhere to go and no shoulders to cry on.She was really serious about all her relationships, so she wanted themto have a happy ending. It was not that Skylar loved him deeply oranything of that nature, she just did not want to spend more timegetting to know someone new.

“This woman looks exquisite. Her beauty is literally breath-taking,” thedirector commented as Skylar walked on the stage.

The casting director in charge agreed. “Indeed, that's a unique yetextraordinary beauty. She'd do well even just being eye candy in theindustry.”

Skylar heard their comments loud and clear. I'm not here just so I couldbecome some eye candy.

The scene she got needed her to express some form of tension and itwas particularly difficult.

Once the director gave her the signal to start, Skylar took a deep breathand dived right in. On the stage, there were some simple props. Therewas a white cloth covering a dummy on the floor that was supposed tobe the deceased mother. When Skylar pulled the cloth off, she saw abig smile right on the face of the dummy.

Skylar suspected the director deliberately set this up to see if anyonewould laugh.

On the other hand, Kate went and sat down with Amelia even thoughher eyes were on Skylar at all times. “You did really poorly just now, thefemale lead should still have some pride in her even though the familyhas fallen. You showed none of that just now,” Kate commented onAmelia's performance.

Amelia explained to her that she did not have enough prep work donebecause of all the work she was doing.

Her gaze was also on the stage as Skylar dropped to her knees. No skillnor eye drops were needed for Skylar to start crying since she had agood control over her own emotions.

Amelia was displeased, so she complained to Kate. “Kate, I thought youonly asked me to come for this audition, why is she doing here? Shecan't even act.”

Kate disagreed with Amelia. In her opinion, Skylar was talented andintelligent. She was a girl that grew up with her now-deceasedgrandmother, her expressions and emotions would certainly be able tograb the hearts of the people watching her.
