Chapter 10

Chapter 10 “Alright, I’ll add you” Astrid took out her phone and added Roman She was only allowed to leave after Roman saved her contact details.

Elio’s eyes seemed a bit dull as he watched her graceful figure disappear. No woman had ever touched his heart so easily.

Maybe Roman was right, the might be his destiny. Suddenly, he wanted to know her more After Astrid left, she started texting. (“Old buddy I need a favor“]

Old buddy. ‘Shoot What do you need?“)

Astrid, “I auditioned a few days ago and got replaced at the last minute. Help me get the role back“]

Old buddy. No problem, piece of cake“]

Old buddy. “Why did you audition? Isn’t it good to be a CEO In the company?“]

Astrid. How would someone like you without dreams understand me?‘)

Old buddy. I do have dreams. My dream is to make money! Money! Money!]

Astrid. [Shut up, and get to work.“]

Old buddy. [‘Alright, I’m on it.“]

After setting things up, Astrid felt relieved. She had her own resources, and she didn’t need to rely on others.

That night, a photo of an International medical expert kneeling to a young woman spread online. But since the woman was wearing a hat and a mask, her face was not clear.

According to the person who tweeted, this was the legendary Aster the Savior. Non–medical netizens certainly didn’t know who Aster was, but medical professionals immediately confirmed the person in the photo. It was indeed Aster! That night, many medical experts were so excited they couldn’t sleep:

Aster was the only disciple of the medical glant Dr. Conrad. Although she hadn’t been around for long, she had already cured many Incurable diseases. A rare genius in the medical field.

Of course, they hoped to meet such a legendary figure. But Aster kept her whereabouts a mystery and was hard to find.

So, they never got to meet her.

Many experts commentéd under the tweet hoping to meet Aster, but netizens thought it was unnecessary hype, and made many hateful comments.

“What’s Aster? What kind of name is that?”

“This must be a company’s hype tactics. I bet this woman will have her debut soon.”

“It might not be fake hype tactics. I see many high–level users are indeed medicallexperts. Would so many experts hype up a girl?”

“Trash, definitely fake hype!”

“Who knows if these so–called medical experts aren’t her friends and family?

“I haven’t seen any medical papers published by Aster in medical Journals. This must be a scam.”

To protect Aster, experts and netizens had a fierce debate that lasted until 3 a.m., and several Important news reports were released.

“Leader of Country of Lumina personally condemns online attacks on Aster”

“Citizens from multiple countries express support as they have all received Aster’s free ald “Aster, a magical doctor who treats based on diagnosis”

All the reports were backed by solld evidence. Those who thought it was just fake hype could no longer deny the facts. Everyone was curious about this mysterious girl, but they couldn’t find any Information about her because there was nothing to trace her real Identity.

When she got home, Astrid sent a message to Dr. Conrad, [‘Mission accomplished.“]

Dr. Conrad replied, “I knew you could do It. Is your sleepwalking any better?“]

Astrid,[“Much better I haven’t had an episode for a long time.“]

Dr. Conrad,[“I’ll transfer your full payment to your account. I’m going on a trip, so don’t bother me unless It’s necessary.”]

Astrid, [Goodbye“]

She didn’t want to contact him anymore.

She threw her phone aside and went to sleep. The next morning, before she woke up, her phone rang.

She answered the call with her eyes closed, and Gracle’s voice came from the other end: “Astrid, do you know what happened last night?”

Gracle’s voice was so noisy it hurt Astrid’s ears. She yawned and said vaguely, “Did you win the lottery?”

Gracie. “Do you know what happened to Simon? He went partying again last night, got overly excited and almost died!

“But that’s not the main thing. The key is he was castrated in the middle of the night. Then, his smuggling was exposed, and he was arrested by the police!

“He deserved it! I’m dying of laughter!”

Listening to Gracle’s words, Astrid raised an eyebrow.

Chad sure worked fast.

After cursing Simon, Gracle sald, “By the way, I heard this morning that our company was bought by someone and many top executives were replaced.”

“Oh...” Astrid yawned, “Can you get me a day off? I don’t feel like working today.”

Hearing this, Gracle became anxious, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well? Is it because of the rain? Has your scar started to hurt again? Do you want me to come over after work?”

“No need, I’m fine.” Astrid touched her scar on her abdomen, her body involuntarily shuddered.

It was a scar left from her caesarean section. After her childbirth, she got caught in the rain and now every time it rained, the scar would itch and hurt.

Since she never found her child, she never treated the scar.

Her phone vibrated. It was a message from Chad, [‘Chief, when our people arrived last night, the guy was already half dead. In the end, he was arrested by the police for smuggling contraband!“]

After reading the message, Astrid felt a pang of anxiety. If it wasn’t Chad’s doing, who could it be?

But considering Simon had probably made many enemies, he might have been retallated against.

Dr Conrad called again She didn’t answer, turned off her phone and went back to sleep.

Witen Elio returned home, he couldn’t help but think of Astrid’s face. After struggling for a long time, he asked Carson to look up Astrid’s Information.

When Carson found out his boss was finally showing interest in women, he took it seriously and dug up all the info he could find on Astrid. “Astrid, 22, 5’5“.

“She likes a good drink and loves to sing, but let me tell ya, her singing’s so awful, It’s indescribable.

“She’s quite the adventurer and currently the top salesperson at a foreign trading company. She’s recently started auditioning for TV shows. Looks like she’s got her sights set on the entertainment industry”

“Hold up.” Elio frowned. “The entertainment Industry? How’s Morgenster Corporation’s entertainment company doing?”

“Huh?” Carson was taken aback, “Starlight Entertainment is one of the biggest companies around here. They’ve churned out a ton of top–notch stars. The hottest ones right now are Fannie and Clyde. Fannie’s always publicly professing her love for you, didn’t you know she’s one of your talents? There’s all this talk about you two being an item...”

Carson stopped mid–sentence, noticing Ello’s face turning sour, and quickly shut his trap.

Well, it was expected, his boss never used to pay any attention to women. Astrid was the first woman his boss had ever showed Interest In!

He had him dig up so much info on Astrid. He must be have been planning to find a mother for his son. It was just so touching!

Elio didn’t respond to Carson’s words, his mind filled with images of Astrid.

She was a mysterious girl. Known in the medical world as a miracle doctor, yet she lived in an old neighborhood under a pseudonym.

She was a miracle doctor alming to enter the entertainment industry It just didn’t add up.

The more he couldn’t figure her out, the more curious he became. The more he learned about her, the more mysterious she seemed. It felt like he could find out a lot about her, yet he felt like none of it was the real her Recalling the feeling of tension when Astrid approached him earlier in the day, Ello tapped his fingers on the table, “What big projects does Starlight Entertainment have in the pipeline? Get in touch with Astrid, offer her a role in a movie or TV show, even a regular spot on a variety show”

Hearing this, Carson thought his boss was being a little too straightforward Is this how he pursued women? Shouldn’t he at least make some effort to encounter her nicely before making his move?

Carson. “Even if you’re into Astrid, can’t you be a bit more romantic in your pursuit? She’s a newble, if you give her such good resources, the audience might not accept her! You’re not helping her, you’re hurting her! “And we could lose tens of millions of dollars!”

Elio, “Do I look like I give a damn about a few million?”
