In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Katrina blinked her pretty eyes and replied, “I think you’re the one who needs to get your nose checked out. Make sure to wash your hands well before we start shooting! I don’t want my on-screen good friend to be all oily and gross.”

Pollyanna ran her fingers through her hair, too frightened to say anything.

Skylar’s impression of Katrina was getting worse by the minute. It wasn’t because she stole the role of the lead actress from her, or because of the rumors surrounding Katrina and Tobias.

Rather, it was because of the awful way she spoke to this child. There wasn’t a shred of decency in her voice at all.

Skylar ignored her. She took Pollyanna’s filthy hand and bent down to smile at her. “I’ll buy you some bread, alright? Do you want to have some soda with it?”

Hearing that food was on its way, the tension finally disappeared from Pollyanna’s face. She nodded her head frantically.

Katrina remained rooted to her spot, frowning slightly. She turned to her assistant and ordered, “When we’re shooting our scenes together, make sure to check that she has washed her hands thoroughly.”

Her assistant nodded. Inside, she was complaining about how picky and capricious Katrina was. What a difficult person she is to work with!
