Chapter 601 Someone Easy To Get Along With

Skylar purposively did not switch her phone to silent mode. Her eyeswidened without the slightest bit of sleepiness as she stared at the timedisplayed on her phone. The sudden change in Tobias’ demeanormoments ago had caught her off guard. It's going to strike twelve. Ohno! The pervert will surely call me again!

She had called Holden up during the day to ask about the latestupdates. Before that, she had already lodged a police report, claimingthat someone had been threatening her.

The latter only replied placidly, “I bet it must be a prank played by oneof you fervent fans. Isn't it common for celebrities?”

Skylar could not help heaving a sigh resignedly. I requested his helpand even bought him a meal. But he obviously thinks that I'moverreacting! A prank played by one of my fervent fans? How could hejump to such a hasty conclusion? It seems that nothing much can bedone even after the case is filed. Similarly, the chances of getting themoney back for an internet fraud are slim even after the report islodged.

As the door opened abruptly, the sound broke Skylar's reverie. Takenaback, she clutched her chest and snapped after taking a deep breath,“Why didn't you knock on the door before entering?”

Tobias caught a glimpse of his watch instinctively, only to replace that itwas almost midnight. He asked quizzically, “Huh? Why should I do so?This is my house too. Why do I need to knock on the door uponentering my woman's room?”

Deep down, he reprimanded Skylar for being hard-hearted. If not forher, 1 won't need to stand guard here till midnight! Apart from that, hehad asked someone to trace all the unknown callers. Nevertheless, hewas informed that those were internet calls, and they had no means totrack down the calls.

After getting Skylar's phone from her, he lowered his voice whilereassuring her, “Don’t worry. I believe you won't be receiving any prankcalls soon. Trust me!”

Furrowing her brows, Skylar asked in bafflement, “Were the calls reallymade by my fervent fans? Anyway, my gut instinct tells me thatsomeone is causing me trouble so that I'll have an emotionalbreakdown.”

The following day, Hannah relayed the director's message to Skylarwhen she joined the event of DI brand. “Mr. Lynch mentioned that youdidn’t do well for some scenes yesterday. Thus, he needs to reshoot allthe affected ones.”

Apart from being as busy as a bee alongside Skylar, Hannah wasoccupied with dating. The hectic life tended to wear her down, causingher to become forgetful. Subsequently, Skylar had to use post-it notesas reminders for her. Thus, the former had no choice but to hireanother assistant.

The moment she heard that the filming crew had to reshoot her scenes,her expression darkened. Undeniably, she would usually be in a bettermood whenever she was not with the filming crew at the filming siteAt that moment, Skylar was eating takeaway backstage. Laurel cast hereyes on the former's face with exquisite makeup. Unavoidably, her lipswere slightly smeared with the oil from the food. Even though she hadnot yet reapplied lipstick to touch up, she still looked as gorgeous asever with her unmissable luscious lips.

Laurel only advanced toward Skylar to introduce herself after the latterhad finished her food. “Mdm. Jones, nice to meet you. I'm Laurel Reed,your new assistant.”

In the meantime, Skylar was engaged in scrolling Twitter on her phone,barely even blinking her eyes.

Astounded by how Laurel addressed her, she put her phone away andlifted her head instantly.

“Ah! I didn't expect that you're such a pretty lady. Just call me Skylar,”she responded briefly in a standard way with a hint of unmissablehypocrisy. All the while, she had been addressing other females aspretty ladies too.

Even though Laurel looked rather plain, she was exuding the vibe of analoof yet glamorous supermodel.

“Mdm. Jones, it's been quite a while since I last had a job. Thus, I need afew days to adapt to it. But I promise that it won't take long for me.Mdm. Jones, I hope you won't mind that,” Laurel uttered warily.

“It doesn't matter. Just take your time. I'm not someone who'll easilymake a fuss. If there's anything you're not sure about, don't hesitate toask Hannah. She has worked for me for quite a long period,” Skylarresponded casually with smiling eyes.

Laurel nodded as she looked intently into Skylar's eyes. Even thoughthe latter proclaimed herself as someone easy to get along with, shecould not help feeling tensed up. Hmph! There are hardly anycelebrities in the entertainment industry that are easy to deal with! Butwhat choice do I have? I wouldn't have taken up this job if I didn't breakup with Gavin and need to earn a living!
