Chapter 786 Men Before Friends
There was an audition scheduled in Newcove, and the Golden Gala was the day after tomorrow. Skylar was given a last-minute notification about the audition. Kate said she could choose to attend the audition or not. Skylar knew that Tobias was in Newcove, and she wanted to visit the hotel where he was staying to surprise him.
Skylar did not want Penelope to accompany her, as she knew the latter would not be able to leave her child home alone at night. However, Penelope insisted on going, and she wanted to take a break out of town. After all, Penelope had not been able to travel to places far away since she became a mother.
Penelope regretted having a child. Hence, she had always been advising Skylar to put off having children. Women would lose their freedom after having a child, whereas there was no change for men. Having a child was like bounding an invisible shackle on a woman that was impossible to break free of.
Moreover, they would never choose to abandon their children for the sake of freedom.
Skylar was not very worried, and she did not know what it was like to be a mother. Skylar had never experienced or understood the greatness of maternal love, nor did she know how to make sacrifices for a child.
However, people had told her that she would understand once she gave birth.
Skylar had asked Susan in advance about the hotel Tobias was staying at, and it turned out to be the Hillview Hotel near Socrates Church. The company did not send a driver for Skylar, as her sudden flight was a last-minute decision. Skylar called a cab, and they carried their luggage from the gate to the underground parking lot. Skylar noticed that there were people taking pictures of her.
Those photographers wanted nothing more than to stick their cameras in her face. They brazenly took pictures of her without even using a beauty filter and would then sell those pictures at an exorbitant price to fans.
Skylar was not too worried as she was photogenic, hence it would be hard to take unflattering pictures of her.
However, she found these people who kept following her annoying.
The journalists specifically stationed at the airport spotted her and hastily asked, “Skylar, why are you suddenly heading to Newcove? Is it for work or personal reasons?”
After a brief moment of hesitation, Skylar walked and responded with a smile, “It's for work.”
As she finished speaking, she pressed her hat even lower.
Penelope stated, “You're quite popular. Don't let those ghostwriters affect you. You aren't a box office jinx.”
Skylar patted Penelope's head and responded, “Why are you rubbing salt on my wound? Let's move quickly. We'll reach the hotel at eleven or twelve o'clock if we delay any longer.”
Penelope was unaware that Skylar had come here to find Tobias, and she assumed they would be sharing a room at night.
Penelope was still envisioning how comfortable it would be to be free from her kid and enjoying spicy beef jerky and beer.
Skylar explained, “I booked a business suite with two beds. I have a date tonight, so I'll be putting Tobias ahead of you. I have booked a large suite with a jacuzzi so you can relax in the utmost comfort.”
Penelope was not upset with Skylar. It appeared to her that Skylar was a hopeless romantic who would feel a day was an eternity when she did not see Tobias.
Penelope was convinced that Skylar was a hopeless romantic, but it was not Skylar's style to be so calm despite being in an ambiguous relationship with Tobias.
Just as Skylar took out her phone, she received a notification that Hillview Hotel was completely booked. She would be compensated at triple the price of her reservation.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
