In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 376

Skylar's such a pretentious bitch. She's deliberately making Winnieaccuse her of something before pretending to be pitiful. Disgusting.Our Winnie doesn’t know how to stand up for herself. Poor girl. Shedoesn’t know that she has to tell others about it.

Winnie's boyfriend is Sheldon Ford. I'm sure Skylar's going to beboycotted soon.

Get out of the showbiz, Skylar Jones!

Skylar clicked into their accounts when she saw their comments. I'm notdead yet, but someone's taken a post-mortem photo of me. I can'tbelieve they even said that they're going to send me a memorial wreathif I keep bullying Winnie.

It was a familiar sight to Skylar, and she was sure that someone wasstirring the pot in Winnie's fanbase.

There was no point getting frustrated over the mess, so Skylar put herphone away. Well, it's free popularity. I might as well enjoy it.

In fact, Skylar even thought, Thanks, Winnie's fan, for tagging me inyour post. I'm actually gaining more followers on my Instagram. Whocares if they're haters. They're all people at the end of the day.

Instead, she waited quietly for Kate to introduce the director to her.Kate arrived in a rush. She then kept the door open for the man behindher, Josiah Zimmermann, to enter.

Promptly, Skylar stood up to greet the man with a smile.

When she stared at Josiah's signature mustache, she wondered, Won'tpieces of his salad get stuck on that?

Josiah was the stereotypical stern director. He was unimpressed bySkylar's greeting with a smile as he snapped, “What's the point ofhaving a mouth?”

Then, he turned to complain to Kate, “All young people are like her.They don't even know to greet properly.”

Instead of panicking, Skylar greeted, “Hello, Mr. Zimmermann, I'mSkylar Jones.”

With a smile on her lips, Kate glanced at Skylar with displeased eyes.She had always found Skylar's communication skills to bedissatisfactory. Her shy personality was exceptionally annoying to her,for the smarter ones would have acted enthusiastic from the start.

Kate found her insensible, as Skylar was not as good in buttering othersup as the other girls.

“We actually had an actress in mind, but the producers weren't satisfiedwith her. Instead, they wanted Skylar to be in it. I was wondering ifyou've had a hand in this matter.”

Josiah was disgruntled about the matter. The producers had insisted onhaving Skylar as one of the main characters, and she did not even needto audition for the role. That was something directors despised most.Hearing him, Skylar frowned. She knew nothing before hearing hiswords. In fact, Kate had been the one who abruptly asked her to meetthe director.

Kate was quick to refute Josiah's words. “Royal Entertainment aren'tinvesting in this. The producers must have chosen her to cater to themarket.”

At that, Josiah rubbed his temples. “Avery, the poor girl. She's such agreat actress, and she’s been training for this for three months. Shehasn't even found out she’s been replaced yet.”

Skylar then sat down on the opposite of Josiah, thinking, What a smallworld. While it's normal to fight for a role in the entertainment industry,I never thought I'd ever snatch the role from my sister.

Skylar was actually uninterested in the show. It did not matter to herwhether she would be in it or not. After all, media franchises like thesewere risky to be in. If anything went wrong, the novel fan would bescreaming and cursing at her for ruining the role.

That was what happened in Unrequited Love. Even now, the novel fanstill said that her character was too pretty to be kind.

Somehow, they made it seem like being beautiful was her fault.

At the start, she was not enthusiastic about Josiah's appearance.However, things were different a moment later.

Skylar was quick to change her expression into a miserable one. “Mr.Zimmermann, this is the company’s decision, so I can't intervene in it.The only thing I can say is that I'll do my best not to disappoint you. I'lljoin the training.”

Josiah was silent as he stared at Skylar for a long time. Then, he said,“You look quite like Avery, but Avery looked more innocent.”

In response, Skylar said, “When I take off my makeup, the others say Ilook like a junior high student. My makeup's a little heavy today.”
