“Am I disturbing your sleep?” Came a sweet and coquettish voice from the other end of the receiver.
“He’s not up yet. I can pass on a message for you if you’d like.”
There was silence for a while before Skylar heard a response. “And you are?”
“I’m his girlfriend.”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Just ask him to call me back when he’s awake and remind him about our meeting tonight.”
The emotions were clearly written on Skylar’s face, despite how superb her acting was on set.
She exited the bathroom to find Tobias awake. Having had a fitful rest, he was in much higher spirits than the night
before.

have to hide in the bathroom?”
Skylar set it on the bed with a wry smile. “I didn’t look at anything. But your phone kept ringing, so I decided to pick
up on your behalf.”
“Who called?”
“Idania. She wanted to remind you about tonight’s appointment.”
As Skylar said this, her eyes carried a hint of sadness.
“Hmm, I rejected her proposal, but she’s being persistent. Anyway, she’s insisting that I meet with her to sort things
out. If you’re not happy about it, then I just won’t go.”
Hearing Tobias’ clarification, she was not sure if she should have felt happy or sad. Skylar assumed that Tobias
would have liked for her to insist it was fine.
“Well, I’m don’t like it, so don’t go. Exes are just hateful, to begin with. I need you to draw a line with her. That
shouldn’t be too difficult, right?”
“Of course not. I’ll do as you ask.” Tobias smirked at her impishly, which was quite charming.
Skylar wanted to see Penelope, so she left the house in an uneasy state. She tersely reminded him of his own
words, ”Any man who still remains in contact with his ex is trash.”
Tobias put out the cigarette, his dark pupils gazing into her deeply. “I doubt anyone would call me a good man. It’s
easier to be worse than it is to be good.”
The unhappy Skylar then asked when Tobias could learn to be more human and less obstinate.
After that, She went outside and got into her car. It was quite early, but she noticed that something had changed.
All the security guards in the compound had been replaced overnight. All the familiar, pot-bellied, middle-aged men
she usually spotted wandering were nowhere to be found.
Even the colors of their uniform had changed.

were met with explanations about a change in management.
What would possess them to do this?
Skylar had already called Penelope in advance, fearing that Penelope would not be at home when she was gone.
When she arrived, Skylar put all the things she brought onto the sofa. She had purchased more than ten sets of
children’s clothes.
Children really do grow up quickly. Skylar had not seen the child in a while, but they could already sit up on their
own.
At that moment, Penelope was still in her pajamas. Her hair was unkempt, seemingly not cared for in quite some
time.
Skylar observed the child again. “Have you named her?”
Penelope then shook her head. “No. I’ve started calling her Bit since she is the extra bit I gave birth to. I’m honestly
so godd*mn tired right now. So about that issue that I asked you about, what’s happening? You have yet to answer
me.”
“The company decides on the artist, so this isn’t something I can influence,” replied Skylar sheepishly. She was
expecting Penelope to ask her this. “All I can tell you is that you’ll get some minor roles. But you won’t make much
money out of them.”
