Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 454

"I've already told Valerie. The company is fixed on this. It's not like you can just disregard their decision."

Skylar finally snapped. "Is Valerie behind this, or Winnie?"

Kate tapped her cigarette against the ashtray and sat up. "I think it's Winnie. She's really close to Valerie lately. Didn't you see the photos they posted on Instagram? They have been hanging out a lot."

Since Kate had already accepted things as they were, Skylar decided to just fight for herself. Hosting kids' shows was no easy task. This was not something the company should entrust to a rookie, but somehow, it just landed on her.

"What do you think you're doing? There's no use making a huge fuss out of it. You should just talk to Tobias instead. He'll be able to help you." Kate stopped her before Skylar did anything rash, but the latter insisted.

When Skylar barged into Valerie's office, Winnie was also inside. Both of them were discussing which gown Winnie should wear for the gala that evening.

Skylar was also attending the event, but her outfit was switched at the last minute. She would be wearing a piece sponsored by Zara.

As for Winnie's outfit, it went without saying that the price was exuberant.

Skylar invited herself in and sat down on the couch before Valerie could say a word.

"I'm not hosting the kids' show. I just finished filming Empyrean Sword, so by right, I should take time away from the screen. I don't see why I should be on set with a group of kids every day."

Over on the other side of the room, Winnie crossed her leg and looked at Skylar smugly. "A kids' show? I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you gonna wear a mascot costume then? It must be hot though." "You still don't have what it takes to choose which show you go on. People are choosing you instead and the company has decided on that," Valeria said sternly.

Beside her, Winnie flashed Skylar her sweetest smile and blinked her eyes at her. Skylar felt an urge to just go up to her and rip her face apart.

"The company has decided on this? It's more like both of you want to make things difficult for me. There are so many other suitable candidates in the company, so why does it have to be me?" "Who knows? The kids might like you more," Winnie interrupted.

Skylar shot her a death glare and studied her face. "I bet they like you more. With your big flat face and toad eyes, you look just like a cartoon character yourself."

Winnie slapped the table and got on her feet. She took Skylar's insult to heart because she really was not as attractive as she was.

Skylar had a face that any girl would covet.

"You'd better watch your mouth and be grateful you're getting a job. This is not some market where you bargain for a good deal."

Sensing an imminent fight, Valerie intervened. "You can choose not to go for the show, but that will mean you'll have no assignments until Empyrean Sword is aired. You have no one else to blame since you're the one who turned this opportunity down."

Skylar looked at the two of them with burning anger in her eyes. She wondered since when did the two women got so close. It was apparent that Valerie was being nice to her because of Sheldon.

"So you're saying I won't be given a new task other than this one? I won't host the kids' show anyway. It's only going to affect the rating for Empyrean Sword."

Skylar made her stance clear and left.

Valeria heaved a sigh of relief, but a frown quickly settled on her face again. "Do you think Mr. Ford will blame me for this?"

"Come on, my boyfriend is in charge of Ford group and the whole family now. Skylar is just a nobody. Besides, Tobias has always been nice to you. I'm sure you're more important to him than Skylar. She's only been with him for such a short time compared to you."
