Chapter 747 No Use Complaining To Me
Chapter 747 No Use Complaining To Me
Skylar took a sip of the fish stew, and a strong fishy stench instantly filled her mouth. She was immediately reminded of Sheldon, who always said that he grew up eating Tobias' cooking.
Skylar started to pity Sheldon because it seemed that he did not have any delicious food when he was younger. No wonder Tobias always said that he owed Sheldon after they grew up. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
As long as it remained reasonable, Tobias wouldn't intervene no matter how much trouble Sheldon stirred up.
“Yesterday's box office is only a few million. You should cancel the increased screenings. I don't want to use up the resources. It's embarrassing enough.”
Skylar put down the spoon. If she dared to drink Tobias' fish stew, surely she would have the courage to do anything else. She took out her phone directly and searched for the box office numbers.
Tobias comforted her, “Everyone makes mistakes. A failure doesn't mean much...”
She didn't tell him that it was because she didn't want to make too many enemies. After the increased screenings, she was quite certain that the creators of the other holiday films would love to drown her with their spit.
Amelia's fans, especially, were already quarreling fiercely with her fans below her Instagram posts.
They were much better when it came to quarreling.
Skylar's suggestions were not adopted by Tobias in the end. The screening rate of The Ballad of 1978 remained high, with all the theaters under Ford Group allocating prime time slots exclusively for this film. Moreover, the movie tickets were being offered at a twenty percent discount off the original price.
However, the returns gained from such blatant favoritism were far too little.
After one night of pondering, Amelia still couldn't understand why she would lose to Skylar as the female lead of Pretty Detective. Furious, she went to Kate's house to vent her grievance.
Since it was Christmas, Kate was at home alone. When she saw Amelia, she noticed that she became much thinner even though it had only been a few days since she last saw her. She looked listless, and her steps were wobbly.
After placing her handbag on a table near the door, Amelia plunged into the couch and made herself at home.
It wasn't that she wanted to relax. She just couldn't muster much energy.
“Now that all the prime slots are allocated to Skylar's movie, the box office is affected. If the screenings for her movie didn't increase, Pretty Detective would have surpassed two billion already. With this obstacle in place now, the money I will receive is going to be less than what I expected. This has affected my pay seriously!”
Kate realized that Amelia had come to her house early in the morning in hopes that she could give her an explanation. However, Amelia was after the wrong person.
Kate replied, “Well, Tobias paid a great deal of money to increase the screenings for Skylar. There's no use complaining to me. Besides, I'm worried that he will cause trouble for me.”
Amelia lay on the couch dejectedly. Having been through many ups and downs, Kate immediately noticed that something was amiss.
She leaned down and patted Amelia's cheek. “How have you been these days? Tell me the truth. Did you do something that you shouldn't have?”
Those words struck Amelia. Propping herself up, she said, “What do you mean by that? I just didn't get enough rest. Now, speculations about Skylar and Tobias' relationship are everywhere on the internet. I don't think they can keep their relationship a secret for much longer. Skylar's fans are quite weird. All of them are especially united when it comes to not accepting their idol being in a romantic relationship. If she admits to being in a relationship, it will have a significant impact on her career. The hard-earned popularity she has accumulated is going to decline. Moreover, some female celebrities in the industry will become even more jealous and think that she isn't deserving of Tobias.”
Kate also noticed that. Hence, she stopped trying to generate publicity for Skylar through scandals.
