In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 400

Skylar chuckled and said, “Oh, stop flattering me. You should engage with Jane whenever you’re free. I feel bad for her. She doesn’t have much experience and was unfortunate enough to become Avery’s assistant the moment she joined this industry. I’m afraid she’d be traumatized if this goes on. If she’s interested, she can switch under me.”

Skylar was pulling no punches. She did not feel the need to take care of Avery’s image because her goal was clear. She was going to destroy Avery’s reputation, so that she would know what it feels like to get everything robbed from her.

She was too arrogant for her own good, but this wasn’t why Skylar wanted revenge.

It was because Avery had made her childhood a nightmare, and she could never bring herself to forgive her.

In the past, Avery said she didn’t like her long hair because it looked trashy and annoying.

On the way home from school, she and her sidekicks surrounded Skylar, then forcefully cut off her long hair. The result was a head of ugly short hair which accompanied her throughout junior high school.

When she returned home, her grandmother kept asking her what happened to her hair. Afraid that she would feel sad, Skylar lied, saying that her hair was too long and it was a waste of shampoo, so she cut it short since it would be easier to take care of.

It was also out of consideration for her grandmother that she came up with this reason. Meredith had always lived frugally. She used normal soap to wash her own hair and only bought special shampoo from the supermarket for Skylar to use. A wistful smile formed on Skylar’s lips at this memory.

After wrapping up for the day, Largo announced that he wanted to treat the filming crew to a meal. Skylar declined to join, using the excuse that she wasn’t feeling well.

Since the gathering was also to welcome the second female lead to the crew, Skylar did not want to hog the limelight.

A scowl formed on Kate’s face when she saw Skylar lying in bed at the hotel with a facial mask on right after getting off work, while everyone else had posted photos of the meat fondue they were having on their respective social media. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Skylar, can you stop being so antisocial? The filming crew is having fun right now, but here you are, all alone. Don’t you feel bothered by that?”

Rolling off the bed, Skylar peeled off the mask and rubbed the remaining essence from the mask onto her neck.

Then, she turned on the faucet, bent down, and washed her face before answering.

“No, I don’t feel bothered in the least, neither am I interested in joining the hype. They can eat whatever they like because I’m on a diet. Recently, I feel like I can gain weight just by breathing.”

Kate scanned Skylar’s slim frame. Indeed, she had lost weight recently. She was close to five feet six, but only weighed about ninety pounds.

“Try not to get into an argument with Avery in public. It’d be bad if word got out,” Kate said worriedly.

Due to her empty stomach, Skylar was more clear-headed and sensitive. Pursing her lips, she spat, “I just can’t stand the sight of her. It ruins my mood every single time. I’m positive she’s the one who caused me to fall from the wire. I just don’t have evidence.”

Kate felt that Skylar was being a tad paranoid. Oh, c’mon. They’re sisters by blood. Why is she treating Avery like her archenemy?

Sensing Kate’s skepticism, Skylar gave up trying to explain to her. She believed that Avery would slip up sooner or later. For now, she would focus on winning Jane over to her side.

Kate sighed before saying, “I don’t think Avery is the one you should be worrying about. Rather, you should watch out for Cassidy. She’s a real headache.”

Skylar had also just found out that the fashionably late second female lead was Cassidy Gardner.

She debuted a few years earlier than Skylar, and her career had been smooth-sailing since then. These few years, other than being cast as female leads in famous movies, she was also a frequent guest on reality shows. Besides that, her love life was constantly a hot topic of discussion among netizens.

Skylar had always found Cassidy a little odd. Before debuting, she would occasionally join in the keyboard warrior troop.

Once, she left a comment below a reality show Cassidy was invited on, asking if she was mentally disturbed because of how she was afraid of looking into the eyes of whoever she was talking to. Not to mention, it seemed like she was in her own world sometimes as she mumbled things that made no sense.

On that day, she was cursed to hell and back by Cassidy’s fans. It was so bad that she turned off her private messages.

Recalling this, Skylar became slightly apprehensive, fearing that her comment from three years ago would be dug out by all those scarily resourceful netizens.
