Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 235

Skylar signed the contract and handed it to Valerie.

"I look forward to working with you. You work hard and I promise you won't regret it," Valerie said as she held her hand out.

With a handshake, Skylar and Valerie sealed the deal.

At last, Skylar felt more secure now.

In the lobby of the company, she saw that Kate was looking around. It looked as though she was waiting for someone, so Skylar went ahead and greeted her.

After the two met up, they sat down on a sofa in the lobby.

"I just signed the contract with Royal Entertainment. From today onward, I'm officially your manager," Kate announced.

"Didn't you say both parties weren't able to come to an agreement back then?"

"That's back then." Kate smiled. "We're talking about the present right now. Once the money issue was settled, everything just fell into place nicely."

Skylar really liked how straightforward Kate was. She was really ambitious and full confidence in herself. It doesn't seem like she's married. Married women usually don't have that shine in their eyes.

During their conversation, Skylar's phone kept on ringing. No matter how many times she denied the call, the phone call kept coming back.

After repeating that a couple of times, Skylar finally decided to pick up. "I'm busy right now. I'll call you later, okay?"

The way she treated Miranda was a little harsh as she was really blunt with her.

On the other end of the line, it was like Miranda did not even hear Skylar. Her daughter's words were just wind by the ears to her.

Before the call ended, Miranda told Skylar to meetup at Wesley's place that night. They were having a family gathering.

However, to Skylar, family felt like such an unfamiliar and distant notion.

When her grandmother was still alive, she really hated it when all the relatives came over for a meal during any festivities.

At the dining table, everyone would be singing praises to Skylar's cousin, Eva. There would be all sorts of compliments like how beautiful she looked, how good her grades were as well as how she would be really successful in the future.

In contrast to that, the relatives saw Skylar as a poor and pitiful child, a disappointment to say the least.

For the family to come together again like that, Skylar figured that it was most probably Miranda's idea.

Seems like she's doing really well. Even Uncle Wesley's not going against this.

Skylar's uncle was a cheapskate after all. It would be a miracle if he ever paid for anyone else's food. He was truly a scrooge.

Kate, on the side, smiled and said, "You can go first if you're busy. By the way, you have an audition tomorrow."

That news came out of nowhere and caught Skylar off guard. With it being so soon, Skylar had to wonder whether Kate was holding out on her before this.

So, when she asked me to do the shoot for the commercial, she was just throwing out some crumbs? She actually has jobs to give me, but she just didn't want to. "What's the setting of the movie? Modern or in the ancient past?" Skylar asked Kate.

"It's modern. All the scenes will be filmed here, so you won't need to go on trips. We can talk about it after the audition. I'll get someone to give you some extra attention."

"I don't think that's a good idea," Skylar refused. "It's better if I just get the role via skill. If I got the role through some other means, I doubt the director would be happy with the end product."

After that, Skylar said goodbye to Kate and left. When she was at the entrance of Royal Entertainment, she noticed a familiar silhouette coming out of a black Mercedes-Benz.

The woman did not even bother opening the door herself, as she waited for the assistant to do that for her.

The woman's long black hair was over her shoulders and she had sunglasses on to cover up her small face. She was slim and wore a cropped top even in such weather.

Does she think she won't fall sick?

Skylar inspected a little more closely, trying to figure out the woman's identity. She could vaguely guess that it was Amelia Simons.

The woman stood in front of her for a split second before going into the building.

When Kate saw Amelia, she approached her and gave her a passionate hug. It was clear that the relationship they had was more than just manager and artiste.
