Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 151

She decided to reply as coldly as she could.

Got it.

Their last conversation ended when she brought up the subject of his tattoos. The night often did silly things to people's minds. When she woke up the next morning, Skylar marveled at herself for having dared to ask him about it. She had been self-delusional, after all.

She put her phone down on the bed. After tidying up her room slightly, she headed straight for the shooting location. The lead actor was arriving today. Skylar overheard this from another person's conversation during dinner yesterday.

The lead actor was a newbie as well. He had never acted a day in his life.

That made Katrina the biggest star on the set. Daryl had finally summoned up the courage to cast novice actors this time, but the public didn't think too much of his plan. Originally, the male lead was supposed to be played by a social media star who had become very popular recently. However, before they could announce this, the production crew had swapped him out with another person.

Skylar paced around the production studio. Several townspeople had gathered around to watch the film shooting. Indeed, almost everything was interesting to them in this quiet, unhappening town. Some even went up to the production crew and volunteered to be extras.

"That girl looks so pretty! Look how nice her figure is! Her hips and butt are so well-defined."

"But she's way too skinny, don't you think? Her butt isn't big enough. I worry for her if she decides to have babies in the future. All the actresses look so skinny. I'm afraid they won't even be able to attract husbands, much less have children!"

"I know, right! None of them would be willing to settle down comfortably with a guy. In fact, pity the men who will end up with them. These actresses get divorced all the time. It's so common that they probably don't even think twice about it."

A few older women were gossiping loudly near her. Skylar heard everything they said loud and clear. Too afraid to pick a fight with the locals, she turned and flashed a smile at them. The smile didn't quite reach her eyes she wanted to show them that she had overheard their words, and they'd better shut up or else.

Suddenly, something dashed towards her, startling Skylar slightly. When she finally recovered from her shock, she realized that it was a little girl who had ran out from the crowd and hugged her thigh. The girl's height just barely reached her thighs. Her hair was long and matted. Although it was nearly summer, she was still wearing a red cotton jacket. It was stained in so many places that it was practically glowing black in the sun.

The girl looked up at her with bright eyes. Her cheeks were ruddy and filthy. Skylar wondered when was the last time someone ran a bath for her. "Miss, do you have anything to eat?" the girl asked timidly.

Skylar looked at the girl in shock. Quickly, she dug into her pockets to see if she had anything for her to snack on, but her search turned out to be futile. The old ladies who had been gossiping about her just now crowded around them and started jabbering loudly again.

"Pollyanna, haven't you eaten yet? Where's your mother?"

"The mother is a disgrace. What sort of mother doesn't even feed her own child? Look how skinny the girl is. She's practically skin and bones." "She must be busy running after her son at home."

"Pollyanna, you better let go of that woman immediately. City girls are obsessed with being clean. Why are you clinging on to her like that when you're so filthy?"

As though she had been shocked, Pollyanna released Skylar immediately. She bowed her head and fiddled her dirt-stained thumbs uneasily.

Skylar squatted down on the floor and caressed the girl's hair. "I don't have any food on me now. Wait here for me! I'll go and get you something to eat."

"God, this kid is absolutely filthy! I could smell her from a mile away. What was the production crew thinking, anyway? I can't believe they chose this disgusting shanty town as the filming location." Katrina pinched her nose in disgust as she stopped right next to them. Regardless of where she was, her assistant would be behind her, holding the umbrella over her head.

Skylar couldn't believe that anyone could be as cruel as to say these horrible things in front of a child. It might leave Pollyanna traumatized for life.

Seeing the exaggerated expression on Katrina's face, Skylar said darkly, "It's not as though she doesn't want to take a shower. This place doesn't even have running water, to begin with. Besides, you might want to get your nose checked out. I can't smell anything."
