Amelia was wearing skintight athleisure wear that complemented her slim, gorgeous body well. If Skylar had to guess, Amelia couldn’t have weighed much more than forty kilograms.
Now that’s what I call a skinny legend. You could start a fish pond in the hollow of those collarbones.
As fellow artists under the same manager, she felt obliged to greet Amelia.
Skylar waved at her as she wiped off some sweat with a towel.
“I haven’t congratulated you yet on getting a female lead role before graduating,” Amelia said, a hint of contempt in her voice.
Skylar replied humbly, “I was just lucky, that’s all.”
Amelia’s saccharine sweet giggle that followed sounded mocking.
“It’s not as if your luck just came to you out of nowhere. Tell me, do you call your benefactor “daddy” in bed?”
Skylar’s smile instantly froze on her face. She did, in fact, have a vague memory of being forced by Tobias to call him “master”.
But she would never be so perverted as to call him “daddy”.
Amelia interrupted her train of thought by continuing, “That lead role was actually supposed to go to me, you know. But I gave up the chance and so, it went to you. I hope you’ll always stay that lucky.”
Skylar wiped the smile from her face, her gaze turning sharp. “I hope so too… And I also hope that you won’t ever give up your opportunities for my sake again.”
Giving her a sidelong glance, Amelia huffed. “Showbiz goes through new generations of artistes and entertainers with a very high turnover rate. Maybe you should put more effort into making sure your benefactor stays by your side. I’m not as fortunate as you are and grew up in a strict household, so I can’t possibly imagine selling my body out in order to make a name for myself.”
“Please don’t worry about me! I was born with a natural determination and talent for doing unimaginable things,” Skylar laughed innocently.
From Amelia’s point of view, Skylar was broken to the point of no return. How else could someone do something so immoral and scandalous and not be ashamed of themselves, but take pride in it instead?
Tobias handed her a container of food that he had left untouched in its plastic bag, having bought it for her to eat.
“I ordered it on my phone.” He had finished the salad and started eating the leftover chicken slices.
Skylar giggled quietly. Tobias was making speedy progress considering that he didn’t even know how to pay bills using his phone a while ago.
Maybe she should be concerned that Tobias had been with her for so long, he had started stooping to her level and ordering delivery food.
Early the next morning, Skylar was awakened by her phone nearly blowing up with notifications from Instagram.
Her follower count had grown by ten million overnight. She even looked at the number three times over to make sure that her bleary eyes weren’t fooling her.
Tobias had been woken up by Skylar’s movements as well, draping his arm over her waist and slipping a hand into her underwear without even bothering to open his eyes.
