In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 547

Skylar was supposed to go for the audition for Pretty Detective at first,but Amelia managed to steal that spot through Kate after pictures ofher were spread online.

To add insult to injury, Skylar was the last one to replace out that Ameliahad replaced her as the lead actress of the show.

The sky was already dark and gloomy before it was even noon that dayas Skylar and Kate sat across each other in a café.

Their coffee had turned cold, and neither of them had touched theirfood much.

“Why didn't I even get a chance to the audition? I was originally chosenfor the lead role, so why is Amelia the one holding it now?” Skylardidn’t want to lose her role as a lead actress without even knowing why.She felt the need to bring it up with Kate or she could miss out on evenmore opportunities in the future.

Kate has found herself a few new faces lately, so Amelia and I are nolonger the only celebrities working under her. Well, Kate was never thetype to invest everything into a single celebrity to begin with. She wantsto come out on top of the food chain in the entertainment industry, sohaving just one celebrity under her simply isn't enough

Skylar couldn't help but feel a little disappointed as her efforts andpreparations for the lead role had all been for nothing when Kate choseAmelia instead.

“You were caught going on a date with some mysterious guy, andpictures of it went viral on the internet. As you know, the negativepublicity was very damaging for your reputation. Amelia, on the otherhand, has no such issue because she knows how to carry herself inpublic. Besides, I can't have you hogging all the good stuff whileeveryone else gets the scraps now, can I? That wouldn't be very fair tothe others,” Kate replied.

Skylar took a deep breath and said, “You could've informed me soonerinstead of after I have completed all my preparations. I've beenpromoting myself as the lead actress for Pretty Detective all this while!”“The young really are green and naive, huh... Listen, nothing is truly setin stone until the very last moment, got it? It's your responsibility toprepare for the audition regardless of whether you get the role in theend. Surely you don't expect to only do the audition for lead roles allthe time, do you? The entertainment industry is a tough one to be in,so you'd better learn to deal with failure and disappointment if youwish to remain. Anyway, it's getting late, so I suggest you head onhome now!” Kate said with a chuckle

Skylar didn't even realize how dark the sky had gotten until Katementioned it.

She looked out the window and saw pedestrians dressed in thicksweaters and coats as they walked under the dim lighting of the streetlamps.

Kate offered to give her a lift, but Skylar refused and insisted on waitingfor her driver to pick her up instead.

"The candidate for the Golden Eagle Goddess has been decided and issimply pending an official announcement. I found out from someoneon the inside that we're no match for Sophia’s popularity, so you'll justhave to try and boost yours to beat her next year,” Kate said beforeleaving.

Skylar wasn't surprised by that as Sophia's votes had always been in thelead since the beginning, thanks to her beauty and amazing worksthroughout the past two years

After waiting for what seemed like forever, Skylar gave her driver a callto see why he had yet to arrive. The driver informed her that he wascaught in the rush hour traffic which was worsened due to a caraccident, so it would take him quite some time to get there.

“May I sit here, Ms. Jones?" A voice came from the side, and Skylarturned around to see a handsome young man in a white down jacketstanding next to her.
