In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 511

Afraid Skylar was there to make fun of her, Winnie tried her best tocalm herself down and looked at Skylar in the eyes.

Grinning, Skylar asked in a courteous manner, “Have I gotten in the wayof something?”

Winnie scowled and asked, “Don't you think it's too late when you havebarged into the office without our consent? Are you going to step out ifwe say you have?”

“Oh! If I have, I don't mind waiting until the conversation’s over! I mean,I have plenty of time to kill!"

Skylar behaved as though she was about to leave, but Valerie stoppedher because she had summoned Skylar there. The person in chargefrom Gucci had made themselves clear they wanted Skylar to endorsetheir latest items.

Since Kate wasn't around, Valerie had to deal with the details of thecollaboration. However, Valerie was afraid Winnie would resort tosomething silly should she be made aware of the truth.

As a matter of fact, not even the representatives of domestic brandshad any intention to collaborate with Winnie, let alone globallyrenowned ones.

Winnie had turned down the one and only request to collaborate withher from a relatively unknown automotive brand because she thoughtshe would be chosen to endorse high-end brands.

When Winnie heard Valerie's instructions, asking her to leave themalone, she gaped at Valerie and thought Skylar was supposed to be theone leaving. Has Valerie changed over the night? She's such amaterialistic woman! It's such a cruel world we're living in!

On her way out of Valerie's office, Winnie banged the door shut to takeher emotions out.

As soon as Winnie departed, Skylar removed the shades, exposing thedark circles around her eyes. She had a relatively pale and haggardlook.

She had been attending countless interviews and taking part in variousreality shows since Empyrean Sword was aired. In other words, she hadno time to rest because of her hectic schedule.

Valerie handed over a brief introduction of the brand to Skylar. Afterbriefly flipping through the document, she found it unnecessarybecause she was familiar with the brand.

She once owned a pair of Gucci sneakers. However, she wasn't familiarwith the brand back then. To be precise, she had limited exposure todifferent apparel brands because of her financial capabilities.

When Eva, who had always been calm and collected, saw Skylar and herpair of shoes, she burst into laughter to the extent of shedding tears.“Are you trying to doll yourself up with that pair of counterfeit on yourfeet? You might get to deceive others but not me because I'm awareyou can't even afford a shoelace from that brand!”

When Skylar conducted her due diligence, she found out Eva was right- she couldn't even afford a shoelace from Gucci.

Skylar was turned down by another globally renowned brand when shewas relatively unknown. In the end, she had no choice but to endorse asecond-rate brand.

When she saw the fortune associated with the collaboration, shethought she had made it in life.

On the other hand, Valerie deadpanned her warning. “You're consideredone of the most sought-after celebrities as of now. If you wish to stay inthe industry in the long run, please keep yourself grounded and neverever get full of yourself.”

Skylar replied, “Thanks for the heads-up, Ms. Fey! I won't let you down!”“I'm sure you're conscious of the number of people keeping an eye onyou. Hence, please mind yourself and refrain from doing anything that'sgoing to ruin your image, including getting yourself involved in ascandal.”

Skylar had heard similar advice from Kate countless times. Shewondered if they had overestimated her capabilities of getting herselfinvolved in a nasty situation or if she had underestimated herself.

The moment she walked out of the office, she saw Winnie waiting forher outside. Burning with rage, Winnie glared at her in the eyes andstopped Skylar from moving forward.

“Can you please get your fans to mind their manners? They won't stoppicking a fight with my fans! Stop getting full of yourself just becauseyou're famous!”

Skylar put on an innocent front and answered, “I'm sorry, but I have noidea of the things you're talking about because I no longer follow youon Instagram.”
