Chapter 12
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 12 Seeing Astrid so chill, Gracie got antsy. Theyâre really gonna marry you off to that blockhead? How come youâre not worried at all?â
âThatâs their problem. None of my business!â Astrid did care, and she knew worrying wouldnât help.
She didnât believe that motherâdaughter duo could force her into manlage âHaha, Astrid, youâre something else. Letâs go. Fill treat you to some barbecuel Gracie sald, and with a shared laugh, they headed out.
Just as they reached the BBQ joint, Astrid received a text. [âChief, Iâve fixed the character issue for you. Take care of yourself, donât let people take advantage of you!â]
Astrid. [âCut the crap, you want me to dock your pay?â]
Chad,[âChief, that wasnât me, someone else used my phone! If youâre gonna dock someoneâs pay, dock theirsâ]
Astrid slightly furrowed her brows, and after a while, a message from the director came in, âAstrid, this is Todd. After careful consideration, I think this role suits you well. Monday morning at 10, please come to the company for the costume fitting.â
Chad was typically reliable She was about to start filming, which meant she couldnât work at the company anymore, so she needed to tell Gracle.
âGracie, Iâm about to start filming!â Astrid announced triumphantly.
Gracie replied calmly. âI might not be in the entertainment Industry, but I know the traps. Donât count your chickens before they hatch. You might even get replaced after an announcement, or have your scenes cut after filming!â
âAlright, canât you have a little faith in me?â Astrid grumbled, getting a little excited, âGracle, want me to autograph something for you now? When I get famous, Itâll be worth something.â
Gracie slapped the table, âIf you make it big, Iâll be your manager. Weâll split the profits.â
âDeal!â The two girls clinked their glasses and smiled.
An excited Astrid quickly posted a status on WhatsApp. âAudition passed, letâs go.â She had finally taken the first step, so she was really happy.

ï¤Chapter 4596 As soon as she posted the message, people started liking and commenting. She clicked to see who it was, and it was Roman.
Thinking of him, Astrid cracked a small smile.
Gracie took a sip of her drink and suddenly remembered something a friend from the police station told her a few days ago. She patted Astridâs hand, âAstrid, my friend told me you returned another lost child to the police station. When will you stop doing this? Remember when you returned that lost girl and the parents accused you of kidnapping her?â
Astridâs gaze turned a bit melancholic.
âAstrid, itâs been over three years, you... Gracle couldnât help but stop there. Three years ago, Astridâs child was stolen from the hospital.
At that time, Astrid was on the verge of collapse. Four days after her Câsection, she braved the rain to look for her child, and now she was left with persistent health issues. Ever since then, she had been extra attentive to lost children.
On the surface, it seemed like she had recovered, but Gracie knew that Astrid hadnât forgotten her child.
âLetâs drop it, just eat...â Gracie couldnât help but said to Astrid in the end, continuously adding meat to Astridâs plate, âCherish these days when you can eat freely. When you officially debut, youâll need to control your diet Youâll probably eat salads every day.â
