Sheldon even told her that as long as she said nothing to Tobias, he would help her keep an eye on Tobias to make sure his brother did not cheat on her.
It did not pique Skylar’s interest, as she thought, It’s pathetic if a man is only loyal when someone is watching.
Sheldon was furious. Once Skylar was gone, he spun around and cursed, “I don’t want you to stick your nose into my business. I hate women who speak nonsense most. If you say this again, you get lost!”
Winnie’s only response was to let her tears fall as she mumbled, “Why are you so angry with me? I’m just concerned about you. I don’t want your brother to oppress you.”
As Skylar had not been on Instagram for days, thousands of messages were in her inbox. Some were giving her words of encouragement, and some were cursing at her. All she did was skim through them without taking any of their words to heart.
When the character posters for Empyrean Sword were released, Skylar was trending again. Kate was prepared this time, for she hired ghostwriters to pour praises to Skylar.
She’s so beautiful!
Skylar’s gorgeous! She looks beautiful in the costumes.
Skylar’s my favorite forever. She’s charming and pretty.
Skylar felt uneasy with the comments. Since young, there were people more cursing at her than praising her, so receiving praises was something she was not good at.
After hiring the ghostwriters, the comment section on Instagram was a peaceful sight. Moreover, it helped that Skylar’s good looks made her look desirable and cool in the poster.
In the dressing room, Skylar had her head hung as she scrolled through her Instagram. The stylist, who was making an updo for her, had just finished putting on the hair accessory when she abruptly said, “Mr. Zeller.”
Raising her head and keeping her phone, Skylar greeted, “Mr. Zeller, you’re quick to join the filming. The director said you were going join us two days later.”
At the start, she barely had any social skills, and she often had trouble looking for a topic to chat about with strangers. However, after joining the entertainment industry, she had improved greatly.
Largo Zeller was much older than Skylar. When he was in his teens, he had debuted. The moment he debuted, he had risen to fame. In the industry, he was one of the veteran actors. When Skylar was still in school, the girls in class would think of Largo as their husbands, including Penelope.
Back then, they were obsessed with Largo. They would buy his songs even if that meant they had to skip meals to save up. Whenever there was news about Largo, she would cut out that particular section to stick it in a hardcover book. That book had been her treasure.
Largo upheld a positive image. He was already in his thirties, but he was still a popular man. In fact, in the current everchanging entertainment industry, he remained one of the top actors.
In Empyrean Sword, he was playing the role of the main female character’s mentor. The story was a romance between the mentor and the mentee, and it was the most interesting story in its series. That was why the book readers of Empyrean Sword’s series looked forward to the show the most.
A powerful and gentle pair of hands held hers, and Skylar realized Largo’s voice was equally gentle. “I wrapped earlier, so that’s why I’m here. I look forward to working with you. Everyone said Skylar’s beautiful, but I realized you’re much more beautiful than your photos. I was even talking to my manager earlier about how you might not look like your photos.”
Skylar was unfazed by praises that focused on her appearance. However, the polite way Largo presented himself made her feel that he was a much nicer person than Harry was.
Right then, the fragrance of white sandalwood wafted across her nose, and for a moment, Skylar lost herself in her thoughts. Why does it smell like Tobias’ cologne? Do they use the same one?
Throughout many years since Largo’s debut, he had never been involved in any scandals. As such, many speculated about his s@xuality.
