In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 155

With the sound of a toilet flushing in the background, Kai said, “Your room was the closest to mine, and I couldn’t hold my pee any longer. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

Skylar didn’t refute any further, and she treated the situation as though she was doing him a favor.

A while later, Kai walked out from the toilet while shaking his wet hands.

Just as he was about to close the toilet door, Skylar stopped him and said, “Don’t close the door. Let the smell escape.”

“It was only pee, not poop. Why aren’t you at the studio yet anyway?” he answered.

She stared at him with a puzzled expression, wondering why did he behave as though they were old friends.

She then said sluggishly, “I’m about to leave. The director wants me to familiarize myself with the script these two days.”

Suddenly, Kai caught a glimpse of the black bracelet on Skylar’s wrist. “These beads look familiar. My cousin also has one of the same colors,” he said.

Skylar lifted her arm and took a look at the bracelet. It was given to her by Tobias, but she did not pay much attention to it.

“Not all bracelets are the same. It’s impossible that your cousin and I are wearing matching bracelets,” she said.

He then raised his chin slightly, saying, “Of course not. He’s not into innocent girls like you.”

It was Skylar’s first official day on set, and she was treated as a newcomer despite the several small roles she had played before.

Because her skin was extremely fair, Daryl had asked the makeup artist to use a darker shade of foundation on her. Otherwise, her natural fair and unblemished skin wouldn’t look realistic when she played characters from the countryside.

While most lead characters generally looked pretty, Skylar’s character was meant to be unattractive-looking. She did not have many complaints about this since she had played a dead person before in a previous role.

With a rough attitude, the makeup artist smeared foundation on Skylar’s face as though she were brushing paint on a wall.

“It’s not even,” said Skylar.

The makeup artist put down the makeup brush and said, “It’s even. You’re just not looking properly.”

She simply let out a hum in response.

Skylar’s first scene showcased a rivalry between her and Katrina’s characters. Leanne, the supporting actress played by Skylar, had just found out that Stacie, Katrina’s character, was in love with Todd, the male lead played by Kai.

So, Leanne asked Todd about their movie date the night before in front of Stacie, deliberately causing a misunderstanding between them.

Out of jealousy, Stacie started to act out.

During this scene, Skylar was wearing army-green pants and white shoes while her hair was tied into two long braids. On the other hand, Katrina wore a neat, short wig, making her look youthful.

With all cameras ready on set, Kai sat on a foldable chair as he watched the two actresses play out the scene.

His agent Mr. Yue then said, “Katrina is really attractive and she has pretty good connections. She will become a big hit in the next two years or so. I heard she even had a fling with your cousin some time ago.”

Kai looked at Mr. Yue and said, “I don’t think Katrina is that good-looking, but Skylar is really pretty to me. Her eyes are angelic, yet they contain a hint of sadness. I’ve never met anyone as beautiful as her overseas.”

Mr. Yue thought that Skylar was pretty too but he responded wittily, “What’s the use of having only good looks? If you do not have good connections, you will not be able to make it big either. I heard that Skylar was initially offered the female lead role but the investors did not agree to it. Of course, there would be sadness in her eyes.”

Kai felt disappointed at that moment. If only Skylar could play the female lead role, his performance would be much better. Katrina simply wasn’t his cup of tea.
