Tobias did not have much hope in Skylar when she entered the entertainment industry, since her personality was nothing like that of a rising star.

"It's time. I shall take my leave," Tobias said as he stood up from his seat.

"Wait!" Kate blurted. "May I ask what's your relationship with Skylar?"

"Just do your part," Tobias said before disappearing around the corner.

Kate watched as he left with a smirk on her face. He's so bad at making conversation!

She picked up her phone and called Amelia to inform her of her new contract with Royal Entertainment, and Amelia was overjoyed to hear of the news.

Royal Entertainment was a new company that was miles away from the level that Amelia's current company was at, but it had the support of Ford Group.

Meanwhile, Tobias made his way to Valerie's office, which surprised her.

She stood up from her chair immediately. "Good morning, Mr. Ford!"

Valerie was one of the youngest members of Ford Group's executive board, and the speed of her promotions had sparked rumors that she had hooked up with Tobias in private. Even so, everyone in both Royal Entertainment and Ford Group respected her greatly.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Ford?" Valerie asked as she gestured to her secretary to serve Tobias tea.

Tobias handed her a plastic folder that contained a simple two-page resume.

Valerie looked at the girl pictured on the resume, who looked like a literal goddess even without any Photoshopping.

"She just signed a contract, and she'll be coming over this afternoon," Tobias said.

Valerie put the resume down on the table and smiled. "I've never heard of her. Is she a new actress? I didn't expect you to personally deliver her resume to me, Mr. Ford." "Yeah, I think she's new," Tobias said calmly. "She hadn't had any major roles yet."

Valerie fell silent. Tobias would have revealed everything he was willing to talk about by now, and she had no right to probe further.

"How's the company doing?" Tobias asked.

"I'll send the daily minutes to you later on," Valerie said, not directly addressing his question.

"Spare me the details," Tobias said, a little annoyed.

"We had a huge influx of new artistes and trainees recently, and we've been contacting the TV stations to broadcast our survival shows and advertise our new idol groups." Tobias hummed in reply and did not ask any more questions.

He was not an insider of the entertainment industry, and he barely knew any famous artistes.

"Take care of this girl," he said.

Valerie smiled. "Of course, Mr. Ford."

Later, Valerie handed a contract to Skylar. "Here's our contract, Ms. Jones. Feel free to ask me if you have any queries about the terms and conditions. You may show this to your lawyer if you wish."

Valerie watched as Skylar flipped through the contract. She's pretty young, just like what the dossier describes. I wonder what's her relationship with Mr. Ford...

Skylar noticed that she was forbidden from backing out of the ten-year contract, and doing so anyway would cost her a hefty fine.

Huh... this is not unlike you, Tobias! How demanding!
