In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 206

Kate smiled confidently. “With we around, there’s no need for you to worry about becoming popular. We will take it a step at a time as there’s no need to rush. I have just been officially assigned as your agent by Mr. Ford. Of course, you have the right to decline.”

Skylar had done some research on Kate before. She knew that Kate was an experienced manager who had groomed many popular stars. She had made new artists popular and reinvigorated the careers of old ones. She didn’t need to get her hands on top-notched stars as she could turn those under her into one.

A manager played an important role in an actress’s career as she was the conduit to all the available auditions. She would also have to choose the script for which she wanted her actress to audition and also be on the constant lookout for vacant roles.

The more capable an agent was, the more demanding she would be towards her actress. Skylar was aware that based on her current status and abilities, Kate was willing to be her agent simply because Tobias had arranged it. Therefore, she had to make the best of the opportunity.

Skylar gladly accepted, “I’ll be in your care going forward. I hope I won’t disappoint you.”

When Kate realized that Skylar was still very young and was the main actress she was responsible for, she gave her some honest advice. “You have to seize the opportunity given that you are at your prime. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have arranged for you to star in that movie as a second lead unless you can outshine Katrina. But after a few days observing you onsite, it’s obvious you still don’t have what it takes to do that yet.”

Skylar was happy to accept Kate’s brutal honesty. Although Katrina’s acting was bad, so was Skylar’s. Both of their acting skills were more or less on par with each other. All she could do now was stand toe to toe with Katrina, but to outshine her was simply impossible.

Kate chatted with Skylar’s till it was late, telling her about how competitive the entertainment industry was.

Furthermore, she encouraged Skylar to solidify her relationship with Tobias. After all, he was also an extremely valuable resource to be tapped. Skylar asked her, “How do I do that?”

Kate gave her a knowing smile. “You’re also an adult. So I don’t think I should be that blunt.”

Skylar understood that Kate wanted her to try her best to ingratiate herself with Tobias. But, she didn’t want to do it.

When Kate was about to leave, her sharp eyes noticed a pair of male sandals. It seems like Tobias comes here too.

The girl is really lucky. With such a powerful patron, her career will likely progress very smoothly.

Meanwhile, Skylar wanted to know about Claudia’s condition and whether the operation was successful. Or perhaps they were still preparing to check her into the hospital.

When she dialed Tobias’ number while standing at the door, she heard a ringtone from outside.

When the call connected, Skylar asked, “Where are you?”

“I’m at the door, open it.”

Putting her hands on the doorknob, Skylar couldn’t wait to open the door. Tobias put down his phone when he finally saw her.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t coming back at night?” Given how late Tobias came home, Skylar considered it a pleasant surprise.

“I’m here to check if you’re hiding another man,” Tobias replied half-jokingly, looking awfully tired.

Skylar stepped aside for Tobias to enter. “There’s no man here unless you introduce one to me.”

“How dare you!” Tobias’ gaze darkened. It was obviously a joke but he had taken it seriously.

“Why are you being so angry. I was just kidding,” Skylar grumbled. He really has no sense of humor.

Tobias tousled her hair as he softened his tone. “I’m not angry, just a little tired. I just want to see you. I’ll be heading back tomorrow.”
