Skylar didn’t see Tobias off, as she was not in the mood to move at all. She was no courtesan, so there was no need
for her to act like one by feigning coyness after having served a client and murmuring coquettishly, “Do hit me up
again next time, handsome.”
Noticing that Tobias was leaving just after a few hours, Madelyn felt sorry for Skylar as a woman who had
experienced much herself.
Good heavens! He’s making it clear as day that he just came over to seek his gratification! No woman will be able
to remain unfazed when the man simply leaves after using her body for pleasure. It would’ve been better if he’d
just stayed the night. I wonder if he’s already married and has a wife and kids, so he can’t stay out overnight, she
mused.
Meanwhile, Skylar was scrolling through her Instagram page. A former classmate of hers during junior high school
uploaded a picture of a newborn baby.
Oh well, another person has gotten married and has a baby, accomplishing all that’s important in life. She could

even budded. I wonder how Penelope, who did things the other way round, is doing.
She was currently burying her head in the sand, afraid to contact Penelope since she kept hounding her like a dog
with a bone about joining the entertainment industry.
She had gone to Kate, but the latter threw Penelope’s photo to the side after a single glance. Then, she went on to
say that Penelope wasn’t beautiful enough besides having had a baby. The entertainment industry was no charity
institution, so the requirements were much higher than that.
The group chat with her former classmates started pinging with messages again, but Skylar rarely chimed in since
she had nothing much to say.
Nonetheless, some would still ask whether she was there, for they all thought that she was now rolling in money
after joining the entertainment industry and was eager to ask her for a loan.
Even those who never had a conversation with her asked for a loan to repay their credit card debts, housing loans,
and so on.
In short, there were various reasons for that. In the beginning, she lent them some money within her ability, but not
a single person paid her back. At that, she realized their true colors and no longer did so most of the time.
And that was precisely why there were rumors on the Internet that she became arrogant after becoming famous
and blacklisted most of her former classmates.
As Empyrean Sword was set to be broadcasted soon, Skylar was going to another city to promote the movie early
next morning. She got up at five o’clock in the morning and arrived at the airport at almost seven o’clock.
She deliberately applied no makeup in hopes that pictures of her barefaced at the airport would leak out. After all,
Kate once said that her countenance was exquisite without any makeup.
The lack of makeup gave her an innocent look compared to her usual enchantress appearance. While there were
few fans at the airport, there were quite a number of people who were there to take photographs for sale.
Those people often kept watch at the airport and boldly aim their cell phones at celebrities’ faces, snapping away
before selling the pictures to fans.
Skylar’s photos weren’t quite valuable, priced at only two hundred per piece on the Internet.

When she went to the VIP lounge, she coincidentally bumped into Tobias, who was also waiting for his flight.
As there were a few crew members with her and a dozen imposing men in suits and standing beside Tobias, they
merely exchanged a glance wordlessly.
While doing so, Skylar whipped out her cell phone and brandished it before Tobias.
She then found a seat and sat down. The gazes of the men beside Tobias instinctually fixated on Skylar since a
beauty always attracted attention everywhere she went.
Subsequently, Skylar texted Tobias: I didn’t expect us to be on the same flight.
To which Tobias replied: Is this destiny or coincidence?
Well, I think it’s merely a coincidence since our destinies aren’t so intertwined, Skylar inwardly reckoned.
“Why don’t you go and ask her for her Instagram account? There’s no need to be shy since celebrities are human,
too. She’s beautiful and gentle, so she’ll make a good match with you. You might even be her type. I heard that
Skylar Jones doesn’t have a boyfriend, so why are you afraid when you’re so handsome and capable?”
At his colleagues’ encouragement, Hector was emboldened.
But a heartbeat later, Tobias lifted his cold eyes and stared at Hector. “Are you here to go on a business trip or to
pick up girls? And you dare do it right before me?”
