Chapter 604 Ingrid Is Given The Priority

Soon, Marcus advanced toward her and teased, “Ha! You're really onthe dot! It seems you're here knowing that it's time for dinner! Anyway,you should eat more. Don't you know you're as thin as a rake now?"

“I don't like the food provided by the filming crew,” Skylar refuted.Marcus lamented resignedly, “Ah! Beautiful women like you tend topractice impressive self-discipline. That's why you're not used to thefood provided by the filming crew. On the contrary, my sister cangobble down two packs of food at one time. No wonder she’s puttingon weight!”

Skylar twitched her lips stiffly as she walked away, having no commentfor Ingrid's appetite. Good gracious! Does Ingrid Ford realize how shelooks now? Not to mention, there's a theory saying that one seems toappear five kilograms heavier on screen. Thus, I presume she'll appearto weigh approximately eighty-five kilograms on screen!

According to the plot, the male lead's childhood sweetheart had a frailfigure as she was from a poor family and had been starving.

Skylar was convinced that it was not out of the director's willingness tolet Ingrid play the role of the male lead’s childhood sweetheart. Afterall, the latter's appearance was a stark contrast to the one set in theplot. How could Ingrid Ford convince the others by playing the role of apitiful girl who had malnutrition due to poverty? It's absurd that onewho has been starving could have such a figure like hers!

Only when Skylar was a distance away did Marcus call out to her, “Hey!Skyler, are you free tonight? Let's go for a movie.”

Skylar turned to shoot him a glance before mocking, “I don't wish toshoot myself in the foot by drawing unwanted attention from thepaparazzi. For instance, by having a meal with the producer.”

Marcus quickened his pace to stand in her way and stretched out hisarm. “I hope I'm not overthinking. But you seem to be keeping adistance from me, aren't you? I don't see anything wrong with anactress having a meal with the producer. You can even ask yourmanager to join us.”

Skylar took off her sunglasses with her slender fingers, exposing hercharming eyes. “If you're able to ask my manager out, I'll thank you forthat!”

At the same time, she glanced obliquely at Marcus’ arm. Only then didhe put it down reluctantly to let her get through.

At the sight of Skylar, who finally showed up, the director lamentedapprehensively, “My beloved Mdm. Skylar, didn’t you promise you'll beback by half-past five? Do you know what time it is? Don't you knowhow much loss the filming crew will sustain just because you're late forone hour? Time is money!”

Skylar headed for the fitting room obediently without retorting hiswords. In fact, she only had herself to blame for being late. She hadrushed all the way from the mall after the previous event but wasunexpectedly stuck in a massive traffic jam for almost one hour.

It only struck her at that moment why Tobias usually only dropped byto meet her in the evening. Apparently, he was avoiding the peak off-work hour.

Moments later, the filming crew proceeded with the scene retakesession for Skylar. Under a close-up shot with a high-definition camera,everyone could barely take their eyes off her flawless and youthfuldainty face.

Fastening his gaze on the camera screen, Shay whispered to theassistant director, “Undoubtedly, Skylar has stunning good looks. Buttoo bad, she still needs to polish her acting skills and improve her stiffbody language.”

Nevertheless, the assistant director had a different stance and did notecho his statement. He felt Shay was being too strict with the actorsand actresses. To him, Skylar had decent acting skills compared to allthe other young actresses of the new generation.

Other than having an odd temperament, she tended to stay aloof fromthe others. Therefore, he hardly saw her jesting with others at thefilming site.

Whenever any shooting of a particular scene was done, she wouldretreat to a quiet corner to take a breather. Normally, she would eitherscroll on her phone or go through the script.

Inevitably, many in the filming crew started talking behind her back,claiming she was putting on airs.

While Skylar was burying her head in the script, Laurel stretched out herhand from behind to pass her a cup of hot chocolate from McDonald's.“You look worn out. Drink something to invigorate yourself for thesession later.”

Skylar took it over from Laurel quizzically. It was a norm to take coffeefor invigoration. Hence, it never occurred to her that anyone would takehot chocolate as refreshment.

Laurel opened up a foldable stool and sat next to Skylar. Resting herchin on her hands, she observed how Ingrid read out her lines asthough she was rapping.

She had seen the latter a few times previously and was utterlyspeechless when she caught a glimpse of her figure on the

screen. Money really works wonders, huh! That's how she’s still giventhe chance to play the role regardless of how she looks!
