Chapter 745 Official Announcement
Since Tobias didn't want to eat, Skylar could only eat by herself. Deep down, she was self-aware that she didn't fit the image of a caring wife and loving mother.
If it were any other loving woman, she would have already cooked a table full of dishes and handed her husband the cutlery while sweetly saying, "Enjoy your meal, Darling."
Tobias had an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth. As he smiled, he looked at Skylar affectionately and gently as if he were looking at a child.
Even during her meals, she was looking at her phone because her name had made its way to the trending searches.
Netizen A: My friend's father, who is one of the executives at Ford Group, said that Skylar and Tobias' relationship is already an open secret. She has a special access card that allows her to go directly to the top floor. I heard that Tobias values her a lot and treats her well. As for whether they will get married or not, I have no idea.
Netizen B: How did Skylar land the lead role in Empyrean Sword and get a top-notch manager? Just think about it.
Netizen C: What an incredible sugar daddy. But aren't Tobias and Saorise...
Netizen D: Will we ever get an official announcement?
Skylar felt overwhelmed from looking at the comments. Placing her hand on the coffee table, she cast a pleading look at Tobias, who was smoking.
"I have a question... Is it your decision to increase the screenings? I thought it was because the director had somehow pleaded for it, but on second thought, it seems impossible. If pleading works, there will be no need for movie promotions. People will be pleading to get what they want every day."
Tobias found a seat further away from Skylar and sat down. He knew she disliked the smell of cigarettes, so he tried to avoid getting the smell near her.
Skylar never explicitly said it, but she didn't like him smoking.
That was why she had prepared an electronic cigarette as a gift for him. She had put a lot of effort into getting him to quit smoking cigarettes, but alas, he disappointed her.
He didn't like the electronic cigarette. He had tried it twice last night, but he had felt as if he was inhaling gas from a canister. There was nothing more comforting than the cigarette spark between his fingers.
"I don't want you to lose too badly, but from a realistic perspective, the movie you're in is indeed a bad one. I have the ticket sales and data for it. Although I don't know the exact online ratings, it's not doing wel despite the increased screenings I arranged for you."
Tobias was straightforward about the topic. His thoughts aligned with Skylar's. She also thought that no matter how much they promoted the movie, it wouldn't change the fact that it was a bad one. However, Tobias was partly at fault too because he had forcefully increased the screening rate for Skylar without knowing the quality of the film. In the end, it backfired. Although the filming crew was given a chance, they couldn't save the film.
Skylar closed her eyes, her mind in disarray. The box office wasn't good previously because of its limited screenings.
However, now that the screening rate had suddenly increased by so much, there was still no improvement. The online ratings were very low, and they couldn't even find an excuse for their poor ticket sales anymore.
Indeed, opportunity knocks but once.
Skylar said, "You have sacrificed too much and spent so much money for me! People are already starting to speculate about our relationship. You may not be very cooperative with interviews, but now the reporters are probably trying to photograph you secretly."
Tobias had already expected that people would speculate about their relationship. However, he didn't want to feel he was doing something illegal whenever he was out in public with Skylar.
