Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 120

Daryl turned on the microphone and spoke, "Can the thirteenth girl from the right sitting at the third row please come on stage?" There was a sudden commotion among the audience and the students seated at the third row were especially excited.

However, Skylar was still concentrated on looking at her phone and did not even look up!

She remembered she was supposed to be the last one to audition and did not expect that the director would specifically ask for her. "Hey, I think it's you," the student next to Skylar nudged her and only then did she react. She immediately stood up and rushed up on stage. After Daryl got to take a closer look at the girl, the frosty look on his face gradually dissipated and was replaced by a look of anticipation.

He got Skylar to perform the same scene as the one Avery did earlier on and also got her to change into a tracksuit which was worn in the seventies.

Skylar got changed quickly and Daryl sized her up with a hand on his chin before saying to the assistant director, "Look, she fits in perfectly into that era and that is the distinguishable look we are looking for. She feels exactly like the lead female character in the original story, looking so pure, innocent and fair. She looks even more alluring when she smiles."

Skylar was completely immersed into the scene and had put all her emotions in it, especially during the ending scene where she took a pause in the midst of her sobs, giving it the perfect finishing touch. The way she looked with tears glistening in her eyes was extremely attractive.

Even until after the scene ended, Skylar was still trying to hold back her tears.

Daryl said, "The lead female character has short hair. Your hair is a little too long."

That was the same comment he had given to Avery.

"I can cut it shorter. To be honest, I don't really like to have long hair too as it's too troublesome to wash it during winter," Skylar answered.

The corners of Daryl's lips curled up into a satisfied smile as he stood up from his seat and walked towards Skylar. When she did her self-introduction, she had mentioned that she was twenty years old. Perhaps due to her young age, on a closer look, Daryl noticed that she had such good complexion that no pores could be spotted on her face even under the bright lights.

Skylar's features were beautifully sculpted. She had long, softly-angled brows and a nose that was slightly upturned at the perfect angle. She looked exquisite and different from the typical pretty faces that the industry currently had.

"I'll give you a chance to shine. Don't disappoint me."

Daryl's words were like a dynamite which sent the hall into chaos. No one had expected that after a half-year long search, Daryl would end up choosing Skylar, a freshman, as the female lead for his new film. Even Skylar herself could not believe her luck.

However, the person who was most affected by that decision was Avery. She was casting a fierce and vicious gaze at Skylar, who had instantly become the center of attention. Avery was so upset that she could feel her heart trembling in anger.

The news of Skylar landing the female lead role in Daryl's new film had become the hottest topic of discussion in school.

If everything went smoothly, Skylar wouldn't have to wait until graduation to enter the entertainment industry.

When Jeremy heard the news in his dormitory, he punched the metal cabinet next to him.

After their breakup, Skylar's life seemed to take a turn for the better and was doing increasingly well. He wondered if those years they spent together even meant anything to the girl.

Skylar informed Penelope of the good news at once. She had also wanted to tell Tobias about it but dropped the idea after some thought as she assumed that he wouldn't be too interested in her life. Besides, he seemed to have disappeared into thin air once again.

Skylar was about to go with the film crew to the suburbs in N Province.

She had just realized that it had been almost a month since she last heard from Tobias and she wasn't even sure if she should inform him of her departure.

Tobias' words during their previous meeting were still clear in her mind. He said that they would be meeting often in the days to come.

So that's what he meant by meeting often. There was not even a single text or call. The man seemed to have fallen off the face of Earth.

During her break, Skylar went back to International Garden to retrieve her belongings. When Laura saw her, she looked as though an unwelcome guest had turned up. However, she only had that expression for a split second before an unfathomable smile appeared on her face.

"Is Mr. Ford around?" Skylar asked while standing at the door.

"Laura, who's that?" Before Laura answered, Skylar heard a gentle and sweet voice coming from inside the villa. Seconds later, a young lady appeared behind Laura and was looking at Skylar with a puzzled look in her pretty eyes.

Skylar tried to suppress the bitterness which was creating chaos in her heart and said, "Sorry, I think I knocked on the wrong door."
