Chapter 194
Skylar understood what Kai was insinuating. It was as if his pride as a man had been trampled upon.
Skylar didn’t understand why this even bothered him. Perhaps in his eyes, she was just a materialistic
woman.
Skylar adjusted her collar. “I can’t accept the gift as it is too expensive. I’m just borrowing it for the time
being. Once the shooting is done, I’ll return it in its original condition.”
Kai felt his heart tied up in knots. Given how rare it was for Tobias to treat a woman so well, Kai was
worried that Skylar would be further entrapped by him.
Although he only knew Skylar for a short while, he felt the sudden urge to protect her when he saw her
spacing out and looking lonely at times.
Suddenly, Kate entered anxiously looking for Skylar. She informed her that the director had called out her
name a couple of times and couldn’t find her.
When Kai saw Kate, he recognized her right away.
He guessed only a newbie like Skylar wasn’t aware of how capable Kate was.
As an extremely experienced agent within the entertainment industry, Kate wouldn’t just manage
anybody. As she had a wide network of contacts in showbiz, she groomed many famous celebrities
throughout the years.
Any actor or actress would die to have Kate manage them. And now, Tobias had assigned her to help
Skylar.
Furthermore, it was likely that Tobias was very influential as Kate was taking a break over the last two to
three years. She had returned to work just for Skylar.
Meanwhile, Skylar quickly followed Kate out and ran towards the film site.
She was supposed to have a dialogue with Kai but he only came out from the dressing room after a long
time.
Before filming started, Skylar tried her best to familiarize herself with the lines. In this scene, she was
supposed to confess her feelings to the male lead played by Kai.
The script required some physical contact. She was to hug Kai by his waist and stood on her toes to kiss
him.
Meanwhile, Kai was already dressed in a red tank top and an army green jacket. Although it was a
cheesy combination, he managed to pull off the look and was absolutely dashing in it.
Skylar and Kai quickly went through the script together before Daryl hurried them to get ready as filming
was about to start.
The scene where she was to confess was under a locust tree outside of the village entrance.
As the weather was scorching hot and the sun shone over their heads, it felt extremely uncomfortable
with the heavy makeup on their faces.
“Are you nervous about our scene together?” Kai asked out of concern when he noticed Skylar fidgeting.
However, Skylar was actually uncomfortable with the heat as she fanned herself desperately. “If only we
can speed up filming.”
Whether in real life or acting, Skylar was terrible at confessing her feelings. Especially when she was
required to steal a kiss from Kai.
She kept stuttering in her dialogue and couldn’t bring herself to kiss him.
Skylar was unable to play the proud second lead role in front of the camera.
As the atmosphere was getting tense and Daryl was fuming, Kai helped her to relieve the tension by
joking with everyone.
By the time they wrapped up, night had already fallen. They filmed the same scene from the afternoon till
the evening.
As it was her fault that the filming was delayed, Skylar apologized to the crew sincerely.
Daryl reprimanded her for losing her focus after a few days of holiday. It would be unacceptable if she
continued to perform that way.
It was just like when she was in school. Every time she returned from a school holiday, her exam results
would be terrible as she needed more time to settle.
After having her makeup removed, Skylar saw that Kate had come out of the motorhome and was
waiting for her to have supper. As of now, both of them were still unfamiliar with each other.
Skylar was someone that was slow to warm up to others. Hence, it was difficult for her to be friendly with
people she didn’t know well.
Visibly upset, she frowned with her lips pursed tightly.
Kate consoled her, “It’s impossible to get in character all the time. Don’t think too much about it and take Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
your time. Today, I talked to Daryl. He said that you are very talented and wants to sign you.”
