In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 453

Sheldon was not even at the office when Eva got back to the company. He came in late at night with his body reeking of alcohol. He slumped on the office table and ignored the pile of documents on his table. It did not seem like he wanted to deal with them.

His work schedule was just there for the sake of formality.

If it were not for Tobias who had been backing someone like Sheldon, the executives of Ford Group would have kicked a huge fuss out of this.

Eva poured the drunk man a cup of coffee. “Mr. Ford, I’d like to take leave tomorrow. Skylar is moving tomorrow and I’m helping her with that.”

Sheldon pulled his tie impatiently at her request. “Talk to human resource. This is none of my business.”

It did not take long before he came back to his senses. “What did you say? She’s moving?”

“Yeap. I heard she got a house worth thirty over million. Didn’t you go for a house tour?”

“Why do I know nothing about this?”

Eva feigned surprise looking back at him. “You didn’t know about this? I thought you were celebrating over a drink because she moved to a new place.”

Sheldon rolled his eyes in disbelief. Back when he wanted a villa, he had to do so many things to please Tobias just to get him to agree to his request.

Tobias was always so generous with Skylar, but he was always stingy and calculative with him. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, Skylar was almost done with the shoot for Empyrean Sword. She had been working out every day after she got back to make sure she was in her best to meet the press.

She had high hopes for Empyrean Sword. Compared to her last two movies, this one would be able to propel her career to greater heights.

It took more than just a pretty face to be recognized in the industry. A celebrity would eventually be forgotten without producing a masterpiece. She was still a C-list actress, so she had to work her way up. She could not just waste the resources she had.

She needed a chance to showcase her acting skills before the audience and make a good impression.

Therefore, the Empyrean Sword was her best bet.

Kate had not contacted her lately. She was busy getting new contracts for Amelia.

There were a lot of rookies under Kate, so it was understandable that she needed to focus her time on the most important person who would be able to bring in more money for the company, and that was Amelia.

Kate came looking for Skylar when she was finally free.

“I don’t think you and Harry are getting enough publicity. Why not we try Largo?”

It did not even take Skylar a split second to reject the idea. “Do I really have to do publicity stunts like this? Largo has a good reputation though. I don’t think he’ll agree to this, but regardless, I’m not doing it.”

Kate took out a cigarette and lit it. “Cool then. By the way, I actually planned on getting you to cast in a movie, but Winnie got herself involved and messed things up. Even Valerie can’t do anything about it. Seriously, how does Winnie’s boyfriend even become the CEO? Is Tobias really gonna leave everything in his charge now?”

Skylar finally understood why she had been seeing Tobias almost every day lately.

“I have no idea. We don’t really talk about work though, and I don’t ask either. I don’t want to pry.”

Kate shot her a reigned look and sat back in the chair. “Valerie has made some arrangements for you. You will be cameoing as a host in a kid’s show. There’s really nothing I can do now that Winnie has her eyes fixed on the best resources in the company. The executives have made their decision.”

Skylar was left speechless. She had seen grown-ups wearing cartoon clothes and acting cute in front of a bunch of children in those shows. ”Hello, everybody! I’m Skylar!”

She shook her head to dismiss the cringy scene in her mind. “I can’t do that. I’ve never hosted any shows before.”
