Pollyanna finished the bread and the entire bottle of soda. Skylar took out every single cent she had on herself and pushed the money into Pollyanna’s hands.
Quietly, she said, “Take this money and buy some food for yourself when you’re hungry. Don’t let your mother find out.”
 

Pollyanna nodded thankfully at her. Shyly, she asked, “Miss, can I call you Mom?”

This was a little shocking to Skylar. She shook her head and said kindly, “I don’t have any children yet. Just call me Skylar, okay?”

“Oh.” Pollyanna sounded a little crestfallen. She turned around and fled without looking back at her.

 

Kai saw this and said to Skylar, “Don’t be so kind to everyone you see. I’ve heard stories about the children here. Whenever they see someone from out of town, they act pitiful so they can get free food. Lots of people in the production crew have encountered this sort of incident.”

 

Skylar didn’t think much of it. Who cared if Pollyanna had tricked her out of her money? The kid was just peckish. There was no need to be so calculative about it.

Skylar and Kai made their way to the shooting location. Kai followed after her as Skylar led the way. His tall, bulky build completely shielded her body from the sun.

 

When they all got there, everyone’s eyes turned to Kai. Although he was a newbie in the industry, he held a rather prestigious status as the only son of Henry Group’s CEO. He was a walking God of Fortune.

Unbeknownst to Skylar, Henry Group had another connection to her. The CEO was Tobias’ uncle.
