Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 719 Her Other Identity

Ignorance was bliss. Ingrid boldly claimed that the film would gross over one billion.

Skylar clapped courteously. Her confidence is as robust as her figure, thinking this film can gross over one billion. I'm afraid this film can't even cross the fifty-million threshold, let alone one billion. The film's distribution was already at its worst, and among many holiday season movies, theirs was already looking like cannon fodder.

Phoenix Entertainment wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Skylar.

She initially refused, but Kate said to her, "We promised Phoenix Entertainment an exclusive interview a while back. We've stood them up a few times, so their dissatisfaction with you is understandable. Agreeing to their request this time will help mend relations. It's better for us to have more friends than enemies."

Skylar narrowed her eyes. The makeup artist was helping her to reapply the blusher, noting that she looked pale.

She replied, "What if they ask tricky questions? That media outlet publishes negative articles about me every few days. I reckon they're not just targeting me because I didn't agree to their exclusive interview. They must've accepted someone's money to tarnish my reputation."

Kate remained silent. She had no evidence to prove who had bought off Phoenix Entertainment either.

Nevertheless, Skylar had to participate in the interview since they already made a promise. She couldn't keep canceling it at the last minute.

She glanced at the time and slipped away to call Tobias, wanting to ask if he was feeling better.

However, Tobias' phone seemed to be just a decoration because no one picked up the call. Hence, she could only leave a message telling him she'd be back as soon as possible.

The interview was conducted in a lounge on the venue's upper level. It was an ideal location with great lighting and a magnificent river view outside the glass window.

Skylar didn't know the name of the journalist who was interviewing her.

The journalist was a beautiful woman with sharp features. Her chestnut-colored hair was styled into a bob-a popular hairstyle a few years ago.

"Hello, Skylar. Getting an interview with you isn't easy. We've had to cancel several times due to various reasons. My name is Radha Macall, and I'm a journalist from Phoenix Entertainment." Skylar replied gently, "I've been filming a show overseas recently. When I returned to the country, I was caught up with the movie's promotional events, so my schedule has been packed."

Radha asked, "They say that your career hasn't been doing well after you finished filming 'Empyrean Sword' and that you don't have another solid project to sustain your popularity. Now that your popularity is declining, how have you been dealing with the stress?"

Skylar furrowed her brows. Is Radha implying I'm a has-been? I'm not in such a pathetic state yet. Although there's still a significant gap between me and the top celebrities, I'm still an A-list actress who garners attention and interest from the public. She asked, "Who said that? Who are 'these people'?"

Radha stammered, "I don't know. 'They' said... Rumor has it..."

"I don't feel pressured. I'm pretty laid-back and don't care much about fame. By not setting high expectations, I avoid great disappointments. I guess I'm just pretty nonchalant about this." Evidently, Radha didn't believe Skylar's words as she uttered straightforwardly, "That sounds fake. Who wouldn't care about their fame?"

Skylar chuckled dryly. "Whatever floats your boat. Everyone has different opinions. It's not like we have a lie detector here to verify if we're being truthful."

Kate responded with a half-smile while Skylar shifted her gaze outside the window. Meanwhile, Kate was overwrought. Why is she being so blunt and not showing the host any consideration? Halfway through the interview, Skylar's phone rang. Worried it might be Tobias calling, she got to her feet and signaled for the filming to pause.

Radha, who was grimacing, called the makeup artist over for touch-ups.

Kate was also baffled by Skylar's actions. What significant matter happened that she must interrupt the interview to take the call?

Not long after, Skylar hurried back and whispered beside Kate's ear, "Tobias is sick and he has been hospitalized. I need to go see him at once. It's really urgent."

The mention of Tobias' name never failed to make Kate feel tense. Despite her reluctance, she had no choice but to let Skylar go.

After all, she couldn't disregard Skylar's other identity. The latter was her superior's girlfriend.
