Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)

Chapter 149

She covered her face with the script and shut her eyes in a daze, her fingers gripping her phone tightly.

Suddenly, there was a loud vibration in her palm. As though she had been injected with stimulants, she

jolted out of her reverie immediately.

She sat up on one arm. When she saw that it was Tobias, she let out a sigh that she had been holding in.

She cleared her throat and accepted the call.

“Are you there yet?” His familiar voice made some of her anger dissipate.

“Yes, I just got here. W-Why are you o-only calling me now?” Skylar stuttered horribly as she tried to ask

him.

“If I didn’t give you a call, are you planning on waiting forever? How can you stand being so stuffy all the

time? You can give me a call too, you know.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Skylar froze a little. Had Tobias been waiting for her to give him a call all this time? No wonder he was

only calling her now.

“Where are you?” Skylar asked.

“I’m in Thailand. There’s some private business I have to settle. Why, do you miss me?”

Skylar wanted to say something in response, but she held herself back from doing so. In her opinion,

Tobias was exactly like the flying man up in the sky. What is he doing in Thailand? He just went to Rome

a month ago!

Skylar said uncertainly, “I might be back earlier than I thought.”

She didn’t tell him that her role as the lead actress had been given to someone else instead. She

couldn’t help but fear that Tobias might think of her as being incapable of accomplishing anything at all.

Tobias promised, “I’m afraid I’m stuck here for the time being. I’ll visit you as soon as I return home. Wait

for me!”

Feeling rather shocked, Skylar said, “This place is filthy as a pigpen. Are you sure you want to visit me?

There’s dust everywhere and a limited water supply. I don’t even have a bathtub in my room.”

Tobias replied nonchalantly, “I’m not going there to take a shower, am I? I might not even be able to go if

work gets too busy for me.”

Talking to him was like getting aboard an emotional rollercoaster. Skylar’s mood changed consistently

with every inflection in Tobias’ voice.

She hesitated a few seconds before saying, “I have something to ask you. Do you know who Katrina is?”

In a low voice, Tobias replied, “No, I don’t. Why are you bringing this up suddenly?”

Skylar chuckled bitterly to herself. Had Tobias really forgotten about her, or was he merely pretending?

As expected, an eminent person has a short memory.

He was photographed leaving the hotel with her sometime back. How can he not know her?

Tobias hung up the phone. He had never heard of a person named Katrina before. Although it was rather

strange that Skylar brought her up so abruptly, he didn’t bother asking her about it—she would tell him if

she really wanted to.

Skylar stayed in her room and perused the script deep into the night. She was a fairly smart girl with a

powerful memory—however, having to memorize such a large volume of information in such a short

amount of time made her brain feel like goo. Besides, all her lines were long-winded and complicated.

She had taken on several minor roles before, but none of them had this many scenes. If she wanted to

excel, she had to bring out the vileness of this character. In fact, it would be best if the audience felt like

slapping her after watching the film!

She took a shower and returned to her room. Feeling much better, she picked up her phone, turned off

the lights, and lay down on her bed.

Her phone screen lit up with another notification.

It was from Tobias: Are you asleep yet?

He had sent it at midnight—half an hour before she stepped into the shower. Skylar felt a little regretful.

She should’ve taken the phone into the shower along with her!

She wondered if Tobias was asleep yet. If her memory served her right, this was the first time he had

talked with her deep into the night. Before this, they had only chatted sparsely about very meaningless

topics.

Skylar rolled to one side and tapped out her reply with one hand.

Not yet. Are you asleep? Why did you suddenly think of contacting me?

She spent a few more minutes searching for the right emoji, eventually settling for a cross-eyed cat.

Tobias replied: What a strange question. You’re the one who told me not to disappear on you and to

contact you regularly.
