Chapter 723 Social Anxiety
Laurel didn't like talking behind people's backs. Since Skylar had asked about it, she could only tell Skylar what she knew.
"She's in the honeymoon phase with the boyfriend she met online. They're planning to get engaged, but her parents think that the man is poor and doesn't match her. Even Hannah's parents, who are ordinary people, want her to find a partner with a matching family background. How could Gavin possibly marry me?"
Skylar smiled. "Some people are born with silver spoons, and some work hard to live a luxurious life. We belong to neither of the categories. What else can we ask for? We are destined to be the supporting characters."
To Skylar, the old manor resembled a lion's den. If she went back, she would end up being targeted.
Everyone thought that it was because of her that Tobias didn't demolish the house. Some of them even posted up to thousands of words on Instagram, expressing their grievances.
Although that post was uploaded, it was automatically deleted by the system soon after.
Those neighbors of hers were doing everything they could. Skylar was worried that if they continued to make waves, there would soon be a stone statue of her in front of the entrance of the residential area. She had wanted to go to Harbourside. However, she chickened out halfway through and told the driver to head back to the company. It'd be better if she didn't show up.
Royal Entertainment was a building with more than thirty floors in the central business district. A lot of the trainees stayed there.
The chances of bumping into handsome men and beautiful women around the area were extremely high.
Nevertheless, the security management system of the company was great. Those massively fervent and loyal fans couldn't even step past the entrance.
If they showed up with banners, the security guards would drive them away.
Laurel took out the access card for Skylar. When they entered the company, Skylar saw Mackayla, who was wearing a down jacket, casual pants, and chunky sneakers, in front of the elevator.
Skylar felt that the only thing she gained from filming Always With You was knowing Mackayla. Mackayla was simple and naive, so Skylar liked her a lot. She didn't need to have her guard up when she was with Mackayla.
Upon seeing Skylar, Mackayla smiled sweetly and revealed her dimples as she draped her arm over Skylar's shoulders.
"I saw Saorise just now. She came over to sign the contract. You have no idea how conspicuous she was. The way she carried herself was as if she was announcing to everyone that she was going to be a par of Royal Entertainment soon. Those who don't know might even think that she's the owner of the company."
Skylar was unfazed. After all, the news about her becoming a signed artist under Royal Entertainment had been publicized. It was just a matter of time before the company officially announced it. Things had been set in stone.
Moving closer to Skylar, Mackayla said, "Ms. Fey favors Saorise a lot and has been at odds with Kate. Kate is also not on good terms with Milania. Saorise will definitely fight over the resources with you. You have to be prepared for it."
Skylar spread out her hands. "What can I do? I can't possibly stop Saorise from signing the contract by crying my eyes out, right? I barely receive any good scripts. Recently, I received an invitation to be the female lead for a boys' love television show. If I accept it, I'll probably be criticized to the extreme when the show airs. They will bash me for fighting over the male lead with the other male lead." Mackayla was interested in filming for movies and television series too. "Well, you can still choose, unlike me. I can only accept whatever the company arranges for me." While chatting with Mackayla, Skylar caught sight of a group of people following behind Valerie, who was going through the document in her hand as she walked. Mackayla looked over too. At the sight of Valerie, she immediately stood up and bid goodbye to Skylar. "I'm gonna go. I have social anxiety, and I have nothing to say to the boss."
