However, she did not share this matter with Kate as she felt that the chances of it happening was slim to none.
Following that, Kate brought up something even more important.
“Your grades are out. All the artistes have been assessed.” Kate took out a list and waved it in front of Skylar.
This reminded Skylar of the feeling when her exam results were about to be announced. She was so nervous she felt as though an invisible hand was gripping her heart.
Taking a deep breath, she lifted her gaze to look at Kate.
“You got a C.”
The results were far behind her expectations. Even though her grading wouldn’t really affect her much while she was here, she was still upset that her grading had dropped rather than increased.
To make matters worse, she did not even know the exact criteria for the grading system.
She took the list full of names and saw that Amelia, another artiste under Kate, was still a grade A.
Heaving a dejected sigh, she muttered, “I’m sorry for letting you down. I was overconfident and thought people regarded me as some kind of national idol just because many of them recognized me on the streets.”
“This grading is only temporary. Once this film is released, you’ll definitely become a top actress,” Kate comforted.
“But what if I still remain a grade C?” Skylar asked in a small voice.
Kate was never one to mince her words. “Then it means showbiz isn’t for you and it’s time for a career switch. But honestly, it’d be ridiculous if you still remain a grade C after starring in such a huge film. I mean, just how much does the audience have to hate you for that to happen, right?”
Skylar shrugged, feeling slightly miserable. Despite that, there was still some fight left in her. “I believe that everything is possible as long as I put my mind to it. Besides, I’m already used to being disliked anyway.”
Kate just couldn’t understand. Skylar obviously has the looks, but why does she lack confidence? Did something happen to her when she was a kid?
It’s like she was traumatized and is too afraid to even dream.
Out of compassion, Kate pointed a way out for her. “Or, you can marry Tobias and live as the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. Do you know how many female celebrities dream about having that kind of life?”
