Chapter 19
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 19 Even though she was playing this game with her family where she wouldnât use their money, she had enough dough of her own Plus, she barely knew Elio, no way could she shack up with him Romanâs face soured the moment he heard Astridâs rejection.
Astrid noticed it and immediately tried to cheer him up, âRoman, donât be sad. You can come to see me anytime Roman seemed a bit happier hearing this He held out his little hand and made a pinky promise with Astrid. Astrid chuckled at Romanâs serlous face and hooked her pinky with his.
Elio didnât insist on her staying and just asked, âMs Irvine, itâs a bit hard to get a cab right now. Where are you heading? I can have my driver take you.â
Astrid didnât hesitate, âIâm going to submit my résignationâ
Ello just hummed in response and didnât say anything more The air was filled with a chilly vibe. Astrid looked at this cold man in front of her and made a face.
Poor Roman, having to deal with this ley face every day.
After dinner, the driver took Astrid away Roman sat there with a sour face, staring at Elio as if he was asking, why didnât you make her stay?
Elio didnât bother with Roman. He just casually made a cup of tea in the yard and dialed Carsonâs number, âCarson, give Ms. Irvine a call later in the name of a real estate agent.â Real estate agent?
Carson, who had been with Elio for many years, Immediately caught his drift! Ello was setting a trap for Astrid. Carson thought he was a straightforward guy who wouldnât play games with women. Turned out he was wrong In the car, Astrid downloaded a house renting app and posted a request, âLooking for a flat with two bedrooms and a living room near the Imperial Tower. The place should be wellâlit and preferably fully furnished for immediate moveâin.â
A call came in just a few minutes after she posted the request.
Astrid picked up immediately. âHello?â
Carson, âHello, Iâm Alan from Signature Homes. Are you looking for a place?â
Astrid, âYes. What do you have?â
Carson, âWhatever type of property youâre looking for. Iâve got it.â
Astrid couldnât help but chuckle, âWow, youâve got everything? Impressive.â
Carson quickly responded, âClose to subway line, prime locations, spacious, luxury decor, ready for you to move into! Apartments, villas, duplexes, whatever you need, I have it!â
Carson sounded so earnest that Astrid couldnât refuse him. She told him her requirements and set a time to view the property.
After hanging up, Carson immediately bought a property that met Astridâs requirements and gave Ello the address.
Oblivious to the fact that she had just escaped one trap only to fall into another, Astrid continued to play mobile games with glee As she was engrossed in her game, a message popped up on her screen.
Chad, [âAstrid, the leader of Country of Erendor wants to see you.â]
Astrid, [âTell him to wait.â]
Chad, [âAstrid, do you have enough money? Want me to transfer another 10 million?â]
Chad, [âAstrid, a lot of companies want to buy your new game.â]â
Chad, [âAstrid...]
Message after message popped up, Interrupting Astridâs game. She frowned in annoyance and replied, âIâm gaming!â
Chad was in the office. He got so scared that he dropped his phone and didnât dare to send any more messages. Astrid hated it when people Interrupted her gaming.

ï¤Chapter 801 Living Off Her After a while, Astrid finished a game round and messaged Chad, [âChad, howâs that thing from last time going? Did you find the person you were looking for?â]
Chad, [âSorry Astrid, thereâs been an emergency at the company, Iâve been so busy I forgot to look into that guy...
Astrid, [âHuh... Are you asking for a pay cut?â]
Chad, [âAlright, alright, Astrid, Iâm on it, Iâm on it...]
Chad looked at the pile of unprocessed paperwork, scratched his head, and swept it aside to open his computer. Just as he was about to look into that guy, his phone rang again.
He glanced at the name on the screen. It was the leader of Erendor. He answered with a furrowed brow, âHello?!
The leader, âHello, Chad, could you get Dr. Aster for me? I really need to talk to her about something urgent.â, Chad yawned lazily and replied, âSheâs been pretty busy lately.â
The leader of Erendor, âWhatâs she busy with? I only need half a day of her time.â
Chad, âSheâs... chasing her dream.â
The leader on the other side of the phone was puzzled, he couldnât comprehend what kind of dream a woman like her would be chasing.
Half an hour later, the Lampard familyâs car arrived at the company.
Just as Astrid was about to get off, Sandra sent a message, âAstrid, you have nothing now, are you still going to refuse my offer?â
