Skylar gave Valerie a call when they returned to their mansion at night. As soon as the call was connected, Valerie could be heard laughing as she said, âOh Skylar, I canât believe that youâre calling me at this hour. Arenât you afraid that your wife might be jealous?âSkylar chuckled and glanced at Yulia beside him. He noticed that Yulia was pretending to read a book but was actually eavesdropping on his phone call. So, he said, âMy wife is extremely kind and reasonable. Donât worry, we still trust each other.âYulia was embarrassed after hearing such high praises from Skylar. She blushed and nudged Skylar, telling him to stop.Valerie was stunned for a moment before realizing something as she said, âHey Skylar, sheâs next to you isnât she? Other people might not know this, but I clearly know that you may look serious, the truth is, youâre quite the closeted creep.âWow⦠Skylar blushed as he wondered just how much of a loose cannon Valerie truly was for working in the entertainment industry for so long.
Yulia on the other hand frowned when she heard that. It almost seemed like she was trying to ask Skylar just how Valerie could know so much about him.Her reaction made Skylar nervous as he let out a few awkward coughs and said, âHey, go easy on me alright. Yulia wanted me to call you. Kareem Fashions wanted to shoot a commercial for the anti-blemish cream. We think that youâre a perfect fit.
Are you free to meet up tomorrow?â Valerie stopped joking after knowing that it was a business call.
She pondered for a moment and said, âWell, Iâm currently out of state for an assignment. I intended to explore the site for a few days, but since you and Yulia have such high respect for me, Iâll book a return flight back in a bit. If you are in a hurry, you can pick me up at the station and weâll talk business in Kareem Fashions. But, youâll have to talk fees with my manager. I wonât be able to decide on how much the rates are.ââSure, weâll do just that. Send me the details once youâre done booking the tickets. Iâll pick you up at the station tomorrow,â Skylar replied in a heartbeat.The next day.Since Skylar had to pick Valarie up, he went straight to Kareem Fashions with Yulia after dropping Lola off at her kindergarten. Soon, he received a text from Valarie saying that she would arrive in half an hour.So, Skylar hopped onto Dianneâs car as they made their way to the train station.Five minutes later, they spotted a group of people disembarking from the platform. It did not take long for Skylar to spot Valarie from the crowd.âOver here, Valarie!â Skylar waved.âYouâre already here, Skylar? I was worried that I informed you a little too late earlier.â Valarie strode over to Skylar after that.Suddenly, a lady in shades intentionally bumped into Valarie.âAh!â Since Valarie was in heels, and Skylar was nowhere near here, she fell to the ground after the lady bumped into her.âAh, it hurts!â Valarie cried out in pain while clutching her ankle.Her ankle was visibly swollen and it was clearly a heavy fall.However, not only was the lady unapologetic, she took her shades off and mocked, âGosh, you are so rude, Valarie! How dare you walk in front of me when youâre barely in the industry for long. Iâm fuming with rage right now and yet, youâre on the ground playing with dirt!â
