In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 273

The makeup artist nodded and got the concealer from the dressingtable.

Kate's scowl showed how upset she was as she stood by Skylar's

side. Men like Tobias are too kinky and sadistic if they could treat a girllike this? I bet Skylar has been having a hard time ever since theybecame a couple. Her slender arm is covered with love bites!

Lili covered Skylar's hickey skillfully to match her skin tone.

“Thank you, Lili.” Skylar smiled with satisfaction.

After everyone left, Kate took Skylar aside and gave the actress a pieceof her mind. “I don't care what you do in private with Tobias, but I don'twant this to happen again! You are a rookie making your official debutin showbiz. However, I don't wish to see this happened again in thefuture. As a public figure, you need to think before you act. To putthings bluntly, you're not his whore.”

Skylar blushed from the humiliating truth in her agent's words. Katewas right. I have been too giving to Tobias’ needs!

She deliberately arrived at the studio earlier because she had manyscenes to film. While she was preparing, the director, Vensa, walkedtowards her with a lady.

Skylar recognized the lady as Sheldon's girlfriend, the trainee she saw atRoyal Entertainment previously.

“Skylar, this is Winnie Moore, our second female lead. Please get toknow each other.” Vensa made the introductions.

Fiona, who was the second female lead and fellow rookie, beganshooting with Skylar. Winnie's sudden replacement as the former's rolecame as a shock.

It was rare to have changes in casting once filming began unless it wasby the order of the executive producer. Nonetheless, Fiona's acting wasflawless, and she was very cooperative on the set. It was impossible forMr. Hughes to replace such a fine actress under normal circumstances.If Winnie had used her connections to get the role, then everythingwould make sense.

Skylar was reminded of the day when Sheldon had asked Tobias formoney to buy his girlfriend a birthday gift. It must be the limited-edition Hermés bag that Winnie's assistant was holding.

The latest member extended her hand to Kate and ignored Skylar. “Niceto meet you, Kate. I'm Winnie; an actress from Royal Entertainmenttoo.”

Kate patronized her with an “Mm.”

The latter was pissed by her lack of interest, but she quickly hid heremotions and greeted Skylar with a simple smile before stepping away.The set was bustling as the director cued for the camera

Skylar was getting the goosebumps in her thin and white tulle dress asHarry and she were on standby before the camera.

All the characters’ names had been re-invented for adaptationpurposes. Harry was Hans Cruz, the male lead and she, Lenny Dunn, thefemale lead. In that scene, Hans was asking Lenny the reason for herwanting to go overseas.

Skylar was quick to get into her character; her emotions and bodylanguage complemented her script perfectly. Lenny had to convey herpain to Hans through her eyes when she couldn't replace the right words.In comparison, Harry was acting too hard. He was spitting into her facewhen the script required Hans to curse.

His acting reminded Skylar of the comedian, Tom Carrey.

He couldn't grasp Hans’ emotional state even after Vensa's guidancethrough the walkie-talkie. Out of frustration, the director got up fromher chair to give him a personal show-and-tell. She also advised that hisacting style was no longer the trend.
