Fell Into His Love Trap novel Chapter 470

On the instant, Skylar’s face was flushed red in utter embarrassment. It was as if Valerie’s oppressive words had turned into countless needles, poking her back constantly.

Skylar refuted doubtfully, “I thought I’ve gained a certain level of popularity. After all, the grading system is still set by the management. By right, I shouldn’t be given such a low rating.”

Valerie reprimanded her coldly, “You’re overconfident. Since you’ve signed up as our artist, you must follow the arrangements made by the company strictly.”

When Skylar received her script for the guest appearance, she was overwhelmed to find out that it was a rape scene. To make things worse, there was only one short line for the scene!

As a wave of fury surged from within Skylar, she tossed the script to Kate and grumbled, “What does Valerie mean? It’s really obvious that she is setting me up intentionally. I bet everyone in the company knows that she looks down on me. What have I done wrong?”

Kate opened the script and was stunned to see the exceptionally short line. She frowned again when Skylar emphasized to her that it was a rape scene.

Pinching the bridge of her nose, Kate explained patiently, “Skylar, I’m just your manager. I don’t have the authority to go against the arrangement made by the company. Even if Valerie is setting you up deliberately at the moment, you have no right to reject as well. You should have gone with them silently when they assigned you to host for the kids’ reality show previously and wait patiently for Empyrean Sword to be aired. By then, Valerie won’t be able to do anything because of your contribution to the company. Yet, you have wasted a golden opportunity!”

Skylar leaned her head against the sofa with her eyes tightly shut. Her fingers knocked lightly on the sofa as her mind drifted into contemplation. Valerie has lambasted me in front of everyone intentionally today. If I refuse to accept the company’s arrangement again, I would surely be criticized by the others. Anyway, they should at least brief me more on the rape scene so I can be prepared emotionally.

It struck Skylar why Cassidy was sort of having a mental disorder. A rape scene was repulsive enough for her, yet Cassidy had to sell her body in order to secure her status and squeeze any chance to act in the movie.

Largo never gave up asking whether she has thought it through on his business proposal. Ever since he knew that she was blacklisted by the company, he tried to talk her into giving in to his proposal.

No doubt she could tell Tobias about what was bothering her and get his help, yet this would surely cause the others to look down on her. She really disliked how others criticized her for relying on Tobias to cover her back.

She gazed at Kate and asked in bewilderment, “What do you think? Should I go with the arrangement this round? I suppose the reputable director won’t go beyond the limit for the rape scene, right?”

Kate added, “If you refuse to follow their instruction again, I’m sure Valerie won’t let you off easily. She is an assertive and domineering woman. Both Susan and her used to be Mr. Ford’s trusted aides. They are undoubtedly no ordinary people who are easy to deal with. Thus, you will only put yourself in hot soup by challenging them and going against their wishes!”

Skylar smile bitterly as she replied in sarcasm, “Does it mean that I’m not an ordinary person as well? Perhaps I’m still comparable to the two of them? At least I have been by Tobias’ side for quite a long time.”

Kate twitched her lips and teased her, “Needless to say, you are incomparable to them. Both of them have gone through a lot more than you. Young lady, you still need more exposure to polish yourself in all aspects.”

Eventually, Skylar made up her mind to attend the shooting session for the guest appearance. Fine, Skylar Jones, just go ahead! No pain no gain! It’s a really short guest appearance, not that I have to strip every single piece of my clothes for the whole movie.

Once Amelia knew about Skylar’s guest appearance, she jeered at Kate, “I guess she must have gotten used to it. I’m shocked that she dares to go for the guest appearance! If any renowned director looks for her to strip off all her clothes and act in an obscene movie, I bet she will go for it without a second thought!”

Kate glanced obliquely at Amelia and taunted, “Talking about stripping off the clothes, I personally feel that you’re just the same. Have you forgotten about those seductive photos you took for the men’s magazine? It seems that you are stripping off more and more clothes.
