Chapter 256
Skylar could barely maintain the smile on her lips as she begged silently, “Please stop bringing yesterday up!”
When she turned to face Joe earlier, she couldn’t help but sneak a peek at his lips.
Her mind instantly wandered to the kiss they shared last night.
“I won’t be having dinner tonight. Bye!”
She wasted no time dashing out after saying those words. She had never fled so fast
in her life.
Joe arched a brow at her escape. Skylar was as quick as ever.
Skylar did promise Natalie to visit Charles that day.
Charles‘ scene was being shot at a golf course.
Natalie e was an avid fan of Austin Powell, an actor who would be featured in this movie. So, she immediately pleaded with Skylar to take her along when she overheard the conversation Skylar had with Charles the previous day.
She even went as far as to claim that Jeremy was very busy these few days. So, she sorely needed some entertainment; visiting the actor she had liked for a decade would just about do it for her.
Skylar could still recall their university days when Natalie would constantly prattle on
about this particular actor.
Austin didn’t have the delicate features that young stars in the entertainment industry tended to favor. Instead, he was rather manly–looking.
According to Natalie, he had been learning martial arts since he was young. Then, het pursued a career in the military when he was still in university. He had only decided. to join the entertainment industry after retiring as a soldier.
So, not only was he a good actor, but he also did all his stunts without a stunt double.
Frankly, both Natalie and Charles looked up to him. Of course, Skylar liked an actor
like him as well.
She picked Natalie up before the two rushed to the set.
However, Natalie was on a video call with Jeremy ever since Skylar picked her up.
The two were chatting throughout the journey.
Judging by how patient Jeremy was when it came to Natalie, it was obvious that Jeremy loved Natalie a lot. It seemed that Skylar’s worries about their relationship
were unfounded.
The two were practically attached to the hip, considering how they kept talking on and on. By the time Natalie ended the call, they had already arrived at their
destination,
“Look at the two of you. Does your husband know you’re visiting Austin?” Skylar
teased with a chuckle.
Natalie grinned and replied, “There’s no need to tell him about this. I’m afraid he’ll get jealous. Jeremy can get rather territorial.”
Jeremy would start pouting if her gaze landed anywhere near a particularly good- looking man. So, there was no way he wouldn’t get all jealous and clingy if he found out she was visiting her idol.
“Charles told me that Austin arrived 20 minutes ago. He has a scene with Austin in ten minutes,” Skylar said as she looked at the time.
“Then, what are we waiting for? We might even get a chance to talk to him. Oh, how exciting!” Natalie squealed as she placed her homemade cookies in an exquisite box.
Skylar let out a dramatic sigh. “Cookies for Austin but none for me? How could you?”
“Oh, hush now. We have to watch our diet, no?” Natalie said, giggling.
“I’m pretty sure he needs to watch himself more than we do.”
“Please. He can easily work all the calories off after having some of these. I’ve cut down the sugar and butter by half. I’m sure it won’t affect his weight whatsoever.”
“I’m telling Mr. Hughes that his wife is caring for another man.”
“Take it all! You know I was just joking, right? I’ll never ever do that to you. I’ve made
more for you than my idol! Just look at how much I love you. You and my husband
are equally important in my heart.”
Natalie promptly whisked out another big box of cookies from her bag.
