Chapter 604 Ingrid Is Given The Priority
Soon, Marcus advanced toward her and teased, “Ha! You’re really on the dot! It seems you’re here knowing that it’s
time for dinner! Anyway, you should eat more. Don’t you know you’re as thin as a rake now?”
“I don’t like the food provided by the filming crew,” Skylar refuted.
Marcus lamented resignedly, “Ah! Beautiful women like you tend to practice impressive self-discipline. That’s why
you’re not used to the food provided by the filming crew. On the contrary, my sister can gobble down two packs of
food at one time. No wonder she’s putting on weight!”
Skylar twitched her lips stiffly as she walked away, having no comment for Ingrid’s appetite. Good gracious! Does
Ingrid Ford realize how she looks now? Not to mention, there’s a theory saying that one seems to appear five
kilograms heavier on screen. Thus, I presume she’ll appear to weigh approximately eighty-five kilograms on
screen!
According to the plot, the male lead’s childhood sweetheart had a frail figure as she was from a poor family and
had been starving.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar was convinced that it was not out of the director’s willingness to let Ingrid play the role of the male lead’s
childhood sweetheart. After all, the latter’s appearance was a stark contrast to the one set in the plot. How could
Ingrid Ford convince the others by playing the role of a pitiful girl who had malnutrition due to poverty? It’s absurd
that one who has been starving could have such a figure like hers!
Only when Skylar was a distance away did Marcus call out to her, “Hey! Skyler, are you free tonight? Let’s go for a
movie.”
Skylar turned to shoot him a glance before mocking, “I don’t wish to shoot myself in the foot by drawing unwanted
attention from the paparazzi. For instance, by having a meal with the producer.”
Marcus quickened his pace to stand in her way and stretched out his arm. “I hope I’m not overthinking. But you
seem to be keeping a distance from me, aren’t you? I don’t see anything wrong with an actress having a meal with
the producer. You can even ask your manager to join us.”
Skylar took off her sunglasses with her slender fingers, exposing her charming eyes. “If you’re able to ask my
manager out, I’ll thank you for that!”
At the same time, she glanced obliquely at Marcus’ arm. Only then did he put it down reluctantly to let her get
through.
At the sight of Skylar, who finally showed up, the director lamented apprehensively, “My beloved Mdm. Skylar,
didn’t you promise you’ll be back by half-past five? Do you know what time it is? Don’t you know how much loss the
filming crew will sustain just because you’re late for one hour? Time is money!”
Skylar headed for the fitting room obediently without retorting his words. In fact, she only had herself to blame for
being late. She had rushed all the way from the mall after the previous event but was unexpectedly stuck in a
massive traffic jam for almost one hour.
It only struck her at that moment why Tobias usually only dropped by to meet her in the evening. Apparently, he
was avoiding the peak off-work hour.
Moments later, the filming crew proceeded with the scene retake session for Skylar. Under a close-up shot with a
high-definition camera, everyone could barely take their eyes off her flawless and youthful dainty face.
Fastening his gaze on the camera screen, Shay whispered to the assistant director, “Undoubtedly, Skylar has
stunning good looks. But too bad, she still needs to polish her acting skills and improve her stiff body language.”
Nevertheless, the assistant director had a different stance and did not echo his statement. He felt Shay was being
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtoo strict with the actors and actresses. To him, Skylar had decent acting skills compared to all the other young
actresses of the new generation.
Other than having an odd temperament, she tended to stay aloof from the others. Therefore, he hardly saw her
jesting with others at the filming site.
Whenever any shooting of a particular scene was done, she would retreat to a quiet corner to take a breather.
Normally, she would either scroll on her phone or go through the script.
Inevitably, many in the filming crew started talking behind her back, claiming she was putting on airs.
While Skylar was burying her head in the script, Laurel stretched out her hand from behind to pass her a cup of hot
chocolate from McDonald’s. “You look worn out. Drink something to invigorate yourself for the session later.”
Skylar took it over from Laurel quizzically. It was a norm to take coffee for invigoration. Hence, it never occurred to
her that anyone would take hot chocolate as refreshment.
Laurel opened up a foldable stool and sat next to Skylar. Resting her chin on her hands, she observed how Ingrid
read out her lines as though she was rapping.
She had seen the latter a few times previously and was utterly speechless when she caught a glimpse of her figure
on the screen. Money really works wonders, huh! That’s how she’s still given the chance to play the role regardless
of how she looks!
