NovelOnlineBefore she met Tobias, it had never crossed her mind that she would be involved with a man who was
more than ten years older than her. Furthermore, she wouldn’t have imagined that his wealth could rival
even that of countries.
As Skylar’s mind began to drift away, she would smile politely and take a cursory sip of wine whenever
someone came to raise a glass at her.
Right then, the man toasting her was someone she had met once before—Maverick Sullivan, who
managed a TV station.
The drama would take up the prime time slot on Channel 3 in Maverick’s TV station.
Maverick was short but very smart. However, he was so fat that his pot belly prevented him from
buttoning his jacket.
In Skylar’s eyes, he was simply disgusting.
“Ms. Jones, you have a bright future ahead of you. Any drama broadcasted from our station will top the
rating charts.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar smiled in response. Is he trying to blow his own trumpet?
“Mr. Sullivan, I appreciate the support you have shown us,” Skylar replied cordially.
When Maverick put his arm around her shoulder, Skylar avoided it discreetly, causing him to feel upset.
After Skylar sauntered away, all Maverick could do was to watch her silhouette. He did so for a long
time before recovering his gaze reluctantly.
When his secretary came over, he whispered some instructions to him. A moment later, the secretary
shoved a room card into Skylar’s hands.
Since it wasn’t his first time doing it, he handed over the card calmly. As for Skylar, she received the
card with equal poise.
However, she put the card back into his pocket next. “Please thank Mr. Sullivan for his kindness.”
The secretary replied with displeasure, “Mr. Sullivan wants to take his relationship with you to the next
level. Ms. Jones, are you playing dumb?”
Skylar’s expression was frosty. “Let me be frank. I’m not interested.”
The secretary stormed off, thinking that Skylar didn’t know what was good for her. After all, one needed
Mr. Sullivan’s support before one could star in Channel 3’s variety shows and dinners.
Skylar went to the hotel’s corridor to get some air.
When Maverick walked in her direction, reeking of alcohol, Skylar couldn’t help but furrow her
eyebrows at the stench.
When he saw her frowning, Maverick assumed she was playing hard to get. He then made the same
mistake as countless other men by letting the alcohol cloud his judgment. Suddenly, he threw himself at
her and grabbed her hand.
Skylar didn’t expect that someone of his stature would pull such a stunt in public. Luckily, she was
mentally strong and didn’t show panic.
She calmly asserted, “Let go of my hand.”
Skylar’s rejection caused him to feel the rush of playing the domineering male.
As his alcohol-laden breath caused Skylar to feel nauseous, he tightened his grip on her wrist further.
As the man inched closer, Skylar could no longer hide her fear. “I’m going to scream for help now if you
don’t let go! It will do you no good if the media catches the sight of this.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer threats however, fell on deaf ears.
When he raised his hand to fondle her breasts, Skylar responded at once with a tight slap.
Incensed, Maverick glared at her. “F*ck! You are just a mediocre celebrity! How dare you act high and
mighty in front of me? You should feel honored that I want to sleep with you.”
When Skylar raised her leg to kick Maverick away, it wasn’t much help as he easily overpowered her.
The man shoved her against the wall roughly. The impact hurt so much that she almost burst into tears.
Just when Maverick approached her step by step, a hand reached out from behind him all of a sudden
and grabbed him.
Looking up, Skylar saw a familiar face in her panic. It was Kai.
Realizing that he had witnessed the embarrassing incident, Skylar was suddenly dumbfounded.
Kai stared fiercely at Maverick. “Mr. Sullivan, why is a man of your age bullying a girl? I have recorded
everything that just happened. What do you think will happen if I put it online? Do you think you can still
keep your position as the station manager?”
As someone experienced in the entertainment industry, Maverick naturally recognized who Kai was.
Although he was still new to the scene, his influence was so strong that no one dared touch him.
