In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 268

Kate burst into laughter. “Why does it sound like they're doing Skylar aservice? She has always had an innocent image.”

Tyler gazed at Skylar's beautiful face. Innocent? Yeah, right.

Like Helen of Troy, Skylar had a face that could launch a thousand ships.Men would go weak in the knees when they see her. She was still astudent, but she had already starred in one of Daryl's films and wasnow the lead of this drama.

It was no secret how she had risen in the industry so quickly—sheprobably slept her way up! Innocent my foot!

However, Kate didn't shut down the idea of Harry and Skylar being acouple entirely. “We'll have to see the audience response when thisdrama is aired.”

#Unrequited Love Press Conference#; #Harry Reid#; #Pride ofSouthwood#.

Those were the three hashtags that started trending on social mediaimmediately afterwards. Skylar found herself saddled with theunfamiliar burden of being Southwood Film Academy's pride.

She felt a little embarrassed. She had always kept a low profile inschool, except for the one time people dished the dirt on her on socialmedia.

After that, however, everything had pretty much returned to normal.As it turned out, the public took very well to her ravishing appearanceat the press conference. Her Instagram followers shot to five hundredthousand in less than a day.

Despite that, there was another camp of people who were very criticalof her on social media. They frequently left all sorts of nasty commentsunder her posts.

They complained that Skylar's looks were completely different fromwhat they imagined the female lead would look like, and that shewouldn't do justice to the novel.

Not only was she too beautiful, but her face had a rather b*tchy look toit as well.

That was the most liked comment under that post.

Skylar used to think that she was only passably good-looking. However,after her makeup artists did their magic, her looks were greatly elevatedto that of a renowned beauty. No wonder so many women were jealousof her.

In the car, she scrolled through the comments miserably.

Why don't you act as a vixen or the male lead’s mistress? You aren'tsuited for this role at all

Don't you dare sink your claws into Harry!

How did she have the gall to accept a lead role when she has neveracted much before? Just look at her rubbish acting skills! I bet she has asugar daddy who got her this role in the first place.

My poor Harry is going to get tainted by her! Don't you think she'll tryto seduce Harry with her looks?

Skylar felt a wave of anger wash over her. She closed the Instagramapplication immediately.

It had been five days since she last talked to Tobias. She decided tounleash her pent-up fury on him instead.

Her fingers flew over the keyboard as she typed furiously.

Tobias's phone screen lit up again and again as notifications continuedto pop up.

Susan placed the documents she compiled on his desk.

They were both quick and efficient, and their partnership was nothingless than a perfect one.

This was also why Tobias particularly valued Susan as his secretary.

It was very quiet in the office. Occasionally, there was a loud crinkle ofpapers as someone turned a page.

“Mr. Ford, you have some notifications on your phone,” Susanreminded him.

Tobias finally clamped the file shut and picked up his phone from thetable. Immediately, he saw lines and lines of text messages from Skylar,all filled with angry expletives.

Tobias felt a little confused. Was she acting up because he had beenneglecting her for the past few days? That couldn't be helped.Unfortunately, he had to go to work, too. He couldn't spend all of histime engaging in debaucherous behavior with Skylar.

He told Susan to leave first. She shot a curious look at his phone andsaw Skylar's name on the screen.

So they are still together! Susan felt a little stunned.

She had worked with Tobias for so many years, and she knew he had amessy private life. Most of his relationships with women didn't lastlong.

There were only a few types of woman on this earth. He despised thosewho got emotionally attached to him and refused to leave.
