Chapter 589 Not Much Expectation
Tobias took a glance at the little clock on the bedside drawer. It wasn’t even seven o’clock yet. The sky
was still dark outside, and the first light of dawn just started creeping on the horizon.
“Why are you going there so early? What have you been doing recently?”
Skylar’s motion of putting on clothes slowed down. Tobias doesn’t even know what I’ve been busy about
these days.
Skylar bent over to put on her pants. “It’s a holiday film. They’re in a rush to film the characters, as it
would be sent to the Motion Picture Association for screening, and we’ll finish shooting soon. Do you
know who’s our second female lead? Take a guess.”
Tobias was not bothered. “I’m not interested in celebrities. So, it doesn’t matter to me at all.”
Skylar found that chatting with Tobias was extremely humdrum. This man has not even a bit of curiosity.
She replied, “It’s Ingrid. Surprised, huh? I’m in the same filming crew with her right now.”
Tobias frowned, and it was the reaction Skylar was hoping to see. That indicated that he actually paid
attention to what she said. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Why is she even in the entertainment industry? She looks like a pig.”
Amused by Tobias’ merciless yet accurate description, Skylar answered, “Well, a princess needs to be
showered with compliments. Now, the entire filming crew is praising her look, saying that she’s pretty,
and she thinks she’s brilliant, too.”
Tobias was a little worried about Skylar mingling with Ingrid, so he said in concern, “You’d better not
interact with her too much. Ingrid is spoiled, and she’s insolent as well as ignorant. She’s not a kind soul
since young, and she hasn’t changed much.”
Skylar acted tough and assured him that she would not be taken advantage of. However, she wasn’t
certain about that. Ingrid was just like a ticking time bomb with extremely unstable emotions.
Skylar left in a hurry without even having breakfast. Before she left, she packed two buns in her bag.
Usually, with her appetite, she could actually eat four, but in order to control her weight, Skylar couldn’t
even remember when the last time was she ate until she was full
When Tobias came downstairs, Skylar had already left. She saw two men in black standing at the door.
Tobias’ efficiency and efficacy were heightened to a dramatic extent when it came to anything concerning
Skylar and she was under the impression that he was only mentioning it casually the night before.
Who would have expected to see the bodyguards already on duty early in the morning?
Skylar looked at the two tall and strongly built men. Small eyes, fair skin, and short eyebrows; they had
sharp features.
“Ms. Jones, you can just call me Cinque. We’re here to take care of your safety.”
Skylar forced herself to look at the two of them. The other man didn’t introduce himself. He just stood
there without saying a word, and there was a jarring scar on his face. This must be a man with a story.
The news that there were two bodyguards protecting Skylar was spread among the filming crew. In fact,
it wasn’t something new that celebrities, regardless of their gender, walked about with bodyguards
protecting them.
The key was that someone recognized that the two bodyguards were the bodyguards of the CEO of Ford
Group, and that person was certain that she didn’t mistake them for someone else.
And that particular person was Ingrid.
The fact that Tobias let his bodyguards protect Skylar would give rise to all kinds of speculations.
The bodyguards were considerate and understanding. When Skylar left for the filming site, they would
wait in the MPV and never go far away from outside the set.
The particular scene that day was filmed at a hospital, and their filming location was People’s Hospital.
The Ballad of 1978 was a story of the female protagonist, Lindsay, who was a middle-aged woman with a
successful career, but miserable personal life. Her life did look good on the veneer, but her marriage was
a failure. Her husband had an affair whereas her son was in his rebellious phase, and everything was in
a mess. On her fiftieth birthday, no one was there to celebrate with her. Her husband was busy
celebrating the anniversary of his first meeting with his mistress while her son treated her with verbal
bashing, asking her to die.
Triggered, Lindsay went up to the rooftop, trying to end her own life. Nevertheless, she woke up just to
find that she had time-traveled back to the year 1978…
Skylar didn’t have much expectation on such a script. There had been too many motion pictures with
such themes being filmed locally and overseas.
