Chapter 605 The Odor Of The Costumes

Deep down, Laurel snorted sorrowfully. If I were from a wealthy andprestigious family, Gavin would be marrying another woman.Meanwhile, Skylar had already finished the hot chocolate. Initially, shethought of notifying Tobias that she had to stay back to work overtimewith the filming crew at night.

Nevertheless, she held herself back after pondering for a while. After all,he had never asked her anything when she worked overtime with thefilming crew previously. Hmph! What an uncaring boyfriend!

Moments later, Hannah was seen carrying bags of various sizescontaining costumes sent by the fashion designer. Feeling exhaustedand out of breath, she shot Laurel a look of sheer indignance. Whyshould I be the one rushing here and there while she's savoring her hotchocolate here?

The moment she approached Skylar with the bags, Skylar's nose caughta whiff of an odor. She instinctively bent down to sniff the bags one byone and discovered that the odor was from the costumes. It seemedlike those were someone's unwanted old costumes thrown aside forages.

Perplexed, she asked right away, “Are these new costumes?”

Hannah ran off to double-check with the particular person in chargeand rushed back in a short while to explain breathlessly, “The costumesection explained that these are the costumes that the filming crewprepared for actresses of previous movies. Mr. Lynch pointed out thatthis set of costumes is meant to be for you. According to him, itmatches your body size as though it was custom-made for you, soalteration is unnecessary.”

Skylar took out the set of costumes mentioned by Hannah andgrimaced at the odor that seemed to have become stronger. Shesneered in dismay, “It never occurred to me that the filming crew wouldtry to cut down their expenses this way. I bet it's unbelievable to othersthat even the costumes worn by a female lead are old ones!”

Hannah drew closer and whispered into Skylar's ear, “I heard that IngridFord should be the one wearing this set of costumes, but she couldn“tfit into them. Thus, she asked someone to alter the set of costumesinitially prepared for you by the filming crew. She's now wearing yourcostumes instead.”

Skylar got all riled up and glowered ferociously at Ingrid, who was in ascene with Maxim. The latter had obviously squeezed herself into thefemale lead's costume. The blouse was gaping, and the two buttonsabove her chest looked as if they would pop out at any moment. Apartfrom that, her tire belly was utterly visible.

In a split second, Skylar even felt that the hot chocolate she savored awhile ago was not sweet anymore. She reminded herself to be on astrict diet, fearing that she would end up putting on weight like Ingrid.Her temper flaring, Skylar tossed the costumes back into the bag. Afterwiping her hands with wet tissue, she instructed, “Tell them that I refuseto wear it for fear that I'll have an allergy. They shouldn't ask me towear old costumes with the odor of someone's sweat. Since others havenew costumes, why should I give in to wearing old ones?”

Hannah knitted her brows and stated indignantly, “Ingrid Ford insistedon wearing your clothes. After all, her elder brother is the producer ofthis movie, and nobody in the filming crew dares to step on her toes.She's a typical socialite trying to “experience life’ her way here!”

An infuriated Skylar refused to compromise. She realized the otherswould continue to take advantage of her if she went with the flow allthe time.

When Shay overheard that Skylar refused to give in, he unplugged hisearphones and rushed over to talk her into changing her mind. “Mdm.Skylar, all the clothes are the same to match the movie background setin the eighties. Just spray some perfume to get rid of the smell, okay?Why make such a big fuss? The props crew has made a mistake, andwe're racing against the time. Could you please be more tolerant?”Skylar pointed at the collar of the costumes and fumed, “My goodness!Don't you see the disgusting stain on the collar? How could you pesterme into wearing it? Where is the fairness? Do I deserve to wear oldcostumes just because I'm usually the one to relent?”

Rendered speechless, Shay could only try to talk things out with Ingrid.He was numb to the politics among actresses at the filming sitethroughout the years. However, that was the first time he came acrossactresses fighting over costumes.

Needless to say, Ingrid was not easy to deal with either. She insisted onsnatching everything given to Skylar by the filming crew. Subsequently,the duo blew things out of proportion unendingly.

Paying no heed to Shay's request, Ingrid raised her voice disdainfully."Pfft! Why should I take off the costumes? Can she fit herself in it? Lookat how skinny and flat-chested she is!”
