On the way back, Skylar reached out to Aiken. After discussing the situation, she was about to end the call when Aiken stopped her.
"Has Wendy contacted you recently?" Aiken asked.
Skylar was surprised. She hadn't expected Aiken to ask about Wendy. She had assumed Aiken had moved on, especially now that he seemed serious about Zera. But it appeared he hadn't fully let go of Wendy.
After a brief pause, Skylar replied, "No, she's probably been busy. Do you still have feelings for her?"
Aiken fell silent. A minute passed before he spoke again. "She's someone I once loved. I just hope she's doing well."
Skylar raised an eyebrow. "Wendy is a strong person. She'll be fine wherever she goes. I'm sure she wishes the same for you."
Skylar knew Wendy was a kind-hearted person who, despite her hardships, showed kindness toward the world and the people around her. Such a person deserved to be treated well. But Aiken…
Well, everyone had their own choices. As a friend, Skylar couldn't help but feel regret about how things had turned out for them.
"Even with how I treated her, she still wished me well. Sometimes, Skylar, I feel a bit despicable," Aiken admitted. He knew these were words he could only share with her.
Skylar hesitated before asking, "What about Zera?"
Aiken chuckled. "She's not even close to Wendy. Honestly, she doesn't deserve to be compared."
Skylar wasn't sure whether to feel pleased for Wendy or sorry for her.
The next day, Charles and Thelma arrived on set, one after the other.
Their relationship had yet to be made public.
Due to the ongoing variety show, rumors had started to swirl, though Charles didn't mind. He was open to revealing their relationship, but Thelma felt her family situation was still complicated. She wanted to focus on building her career, acting more, and earning enough money to resolve her matters first.
Once things improved, she'd announce their relationship, hoping she could offer Charles something positive—something that would make people believe his choice to be with her was the right one.
However, the atmosphere on set felt off that day. The director called Charles over while Thelma stood nearby, looking confused.
The director told Charles, "We're considering replacing Thelma in her current role."

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
