Chapter 526
“I’m fine with marrying her since she’s been living with me for a long time now. I want you to find out who
paid these people to spread the news. I doubt two pictures are enough to cause garner that much
attention. Like you said, Skylar is an artiste in our company, so I shouldn’t have to remind you of what to
do.”
Tobias cares about Skylar more and more with each passing day… Valerie lowered her gaze in
disappointment and nodded. “Yes, I’ve had someone look into it last night, but it will take some time.”
Just then, Skylar came in after knocking on the door, and a faint smile appeared on Tobias’ otherwise
expressionless face when he saw her. “Wow, it hasn’t even been thirty minutes since I arrived and you
already know where to find me?”
Despite being incredibly unhappy to see her, Valerie had no choice but to forcefully maintain a smile in
front of Tobias.
“I’m not interrupting you two, am I? I came here looking for Ms. Fey. Kate said I should explain everything
to her so the higher-ups wouldn’t lose faith in me,” Skylar said.
She needs Kate to remind her of such simple things? What on earth even goes on in that tiny little head
of hers? Does that mean she wouldn’t have thought of coming to explain herself if Kate didn’t tell her to?
I can’t believe it… She’s actually acting like she’s Tobias’ wife! Valerie thought to herself in disdain, but
kept her tone calm and professional as she spoke, “Mr. Ford has told me everything. All I can say is you
mustn’t let that happen again, especially since you’re so close to winning the Golden Eagle Goddess
award. You currently rank second according to the votes.”
“I need over three million more votes to beat Sophia. Her votes are twice as much as mine, so it’s pretty
much over for me,” Skylar replied.
Valerie sneered. She’s intentionally mentioning the vote count in front of Tobias? What a pretentious
b*tch! Does she want that award so badly that she would whine about it to Tobias just because the
company doesn’t intend on giving her a boost with the votes?
“Seeing as the difference is that huge, why don’t you just give up on it? Why bother concerning yourself
with something that you know won’t end well?” Tobias asked calmly.
Valerie almost burst out laughing when she heard that. Oh my god! Awkward! Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Tobias had basically spoken Skylar’s mind with what he said. She didn’t want to compete with Sophia
whose popularity was the highest in the entertainment industry. Given how loyal Sophia’s fans were,
Skylar would only worsen things for herself if she tried to boost her votes.
Having said what she came to say, Skylar decided to leave Valerie and Tobias alone. She saw the way
Valerie looked at Tobias, and it was as if she wanted to strip him naked right then and there.
However, Tobias followed her out of the office, and Valerie’s plan to have breakfast with him was ruined
just like that.
I can’t believe Tobias took the trouble of coming all the way here just because he’s worried that I would
pick on her… Talk about being overprotective… Valerie thought to herself as she watched them leave.
“I’ve taken care of things, so you’re safe now!” Skylar said half-jokingly.
Tobias asked seriously, “Why me?”
Skylar felt confused as she figured he was the one who wished to keep their relationship a secret from
the public.
“Never mind! So, why are you so free today? I usually don’t see you around here for months on end!”
she asked with a smile.
Tobias wasn’t sure if she was playing dumb or actually ignorant to the fact that he had come just to help
her out.
