Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias) novel Chapter 742

Kate comforted Skylar, “The plot of this movie was poor to begin with. It had dull moments throughout, and there were limited showtimes. Don't take it too personally. Next time, I'll definitely choose a movie that suits you and sells well. We shall take our time. There's no need to rush.”

Skylar's lips twitched. What Kate had said was now all water under the bridge. Skylar had mentioned earlier that she didn't want to take on this role, but Kate did not consider her opinion at all.

They exchanged a few more words before Kate abruptly hung up the phone. Tobias could clearly see the troubled look on her face.

He took out the car keys, held onto Skylar's arm, and spoke in a low voice. “You always display your unhappiness on your face. Aren't all of you actresses fond of concealing your emotions? Are you being so obvious for me to notice?”

Skylar raised her gaze and forced a smile at Tobias. “All human beings have worries, okay? If your exam results are announced and a highly ambitious person like you performs poorly with terribly low scores, will you be happy? You definitely won't, right?”

Tobias didn't grasp the meaning behind Skylar's words. Since she didn't attend school, it should not be something about exam results.

Seeing that Tobias remained silent and unresponsive, Skylar rummaged through her pockets to see if anything had fallen out.

Tobias still couldn't make sense of it. Taking advantage of the opportunity while Skylar went upstairs to get tissues, he turned on his phone and immediately saw Skylar's name on the trending topics on Twitter.

It was only then that he realized Skylar was probably disappointed with the box office results of her new movie.

He rapidly went through the movie's screening times across multiple major cinemas. The cinema chains owned by Ford Group accounted for ninety percent of the cinemas in the country.

He asked Skylar, “Do you want me to be the champion?”

Skylar didn't understand the meaning behind Tobias' words. She wondered if Tobias was planning to run a marathon, as that would explain why he asked her that question.

Tobias chose not to let Skylar know about his intentions because he didn't want her to face an overly humiliating loss. However, an increased screening rate would end up benefiting that rascal Marcus.

He had been nice toward Kate. He believed it was time to have a talk with this top-notch manager.

Due to his faith in Kate, he had entrusted Skylar to her. Little did he expect this was how Kate repaid him.

The director of The Ballad of 1978 posted on Twitter again. Skylar briefly glanced at it and thought he had really put in the effort.

He had gone as far as considering publicly kneeling down and imploring the cinemas to increase the number of screenings. Not only that, he even thought about allowing the audience to watch for free. It wasn't about money for him. He just didn't want a good movie to go unnoticed.

However, such extreme actions were sure to attract derision and mockery from netizens.
