Chapter 607 A Failure Of An Investment
Laurel regarded Hannah like the latter was a fool. Look at this girl. It’s obvious that she must have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and that’s why she has absolutely no idea what I’m talking about.
Having grown up shielded by her own privilege, Hannah was probably unable to fathom how one’s fate was often dictated by the conditions of one’s birth.
Skylar understood what Laurel meant, though. As someone who had similar experiences, she was better able to relate to the things Laurel said.
The car had not strayed too far when Skylar heard her phone ringing. Pulling it out, she saw that it was a call from Kate.
After she swiped the call through, Kate questioned before she could say anything, “Since when have you become acquainted with Marcus Ford? He said that you’ve agreed to have lunch with him but only on the condition that your manager is present. Hence, he wanted me to go along too.”
Skylar was speechless as she did not expect Marcus to hit up Kate when she only mentioned the latter in passing. “Sorry for bothering you. I was really just kidding around and didn’t think that he would take me so seriously.”
“Word has it that Marcus is Tobias’ younger brother, so it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing to accept his invitation. This could help build your connections in the entertainment industry, so don’t be such a hermit. Put yourself out there and make some new friends.”
Skylar reacted with a frown. Going out to dine and make friends? That’s easy for you to say, Kate.
If she and Marcus were to be photographed in each other’s company outside, Kate would definitely demand that she explain herself for feeding the tabloids again.
Following that, Skylar smiled and replied genially, “That sounds great. I’ll see to the arrangements as soon as possible. Who would resent being well connected?”
Kate laughed heartily in the belief that her counterpart was coming around. “That’s the spirit. Nothing to lose from making conversations over a nice meal. Just be careful that you don’t get photographed doing it.”
Wanting me to network and, at the same time, protect myself? She really has everything worked out.
Though she was chuckling away, Skylar’s expression had only grown increasingly dour by the minute.
As she was about to hang up, she heard a soft female voice echo in the background.
“Do you mind helping me with the body lotion, darling…”
Kate had hurriedly hung up before she could hear the rest of it.
Skylar rescinded her smile. That voice was so saccharine that it gave her diabetes. There were not many voices as girlish as this one in the entertainment industry, and Amelia’s happened to be one of them.
The two of them together this late into the night, with Amelia asking Kate to apply body lotion for her…
Skylar was honestly shocked. I bet Amelia has been sleeping with my manager. I wouldn’t be as surprised if it were a man and a woman, but now it’s two women…
Prior to this, she could not tell at all that Kate was a lesbian, but now the truth was becoming increasingly clear.
Judging from Kate’s assertiveness, it’s obvious who’s the butch and who’s the femme in this relationship.
Skylar went on to share her big discovery in its entirety with Tobias, who had just moved his stuff in and was now formally cohabiting with her.
Coming through the door, she did not even kick off the Yeezys on her feet. Like an entertainment page, she just stood there and rabidly unloaded that exposé onto Tobias.
In truth, what Skylar revealed was not exactly news to him.
Although he was not one for gossip and lacked the enthusiasm for things that did not concern him, it did not mean that these sorts of things would not automatically reach his ears.
Tobias had some regrets about allowing Kate to represent Skylar, to begin with. Based on the arbitrary manner by which she quoted her fees, she should already have been dropped from consideration.
He was not exactly pleased with the results yielded after having Skylar in her charge for so long and felt that Kate had not proven herself to be worth the money he splashed out for her services. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
When assessed from a business standpoint, there is no doubt that this is deemed a failure of an investment.
