Despite the pain gnawing in Susan's heart, her strong mental fortitude allowed her voice to stay steady as she said, “It's up to you, Mr. Ford.”
That was what Tobias liked about her—she was quick to decide. Alas, he never once cared about what she felt.
He said, “I'll ask Skylar about it. You'll be getting double your current pay. Once she's more mature and independent, you'll come back.”
Susan nodded, still silent. Even though she was merely an assistant at Ford Group, she had risen to the top. Not even the shareholders dared to offend her.
She wondered how many people in the company would laugh and jeer at her upon finding out that Tobias had abruptly made her the assistant of an unpopular artiste.
While thinking about that, Susan packed Skylar's identity card and charger into a bag and placed it on the bedside table. Skylar would be able to spot the bag easily when she came back for her belongings.
The audition was at Southside Park. It was another modern show, and the filming would take three months.
The director liked the lively demeanor that Skylar had, and that was why he had asked her to come to the audition at Newcove. The original lead female was Layla Summerhill, but news about Layla's secret marriage and child had broken out lately.
Therefore, the production crew had no choice but to give up on her. The production crew was already unhappy with Layla previously, but her company continued to promote her.
In the end, the production crew decided to get someone else.
They said that she was not as pretty as she used to be before her labor. Her hairline was receding, she was hunching, and her eyes were dull; she no longer had the sensation of a lively young woman.
On the other hand, Skylar was young and sweet. She was the poster child of youth, and her fans agreed with that.
