Chapter 22
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 22 âDingâ The elevator door opened, and Ello hurried out, quickly found room 2109, and gave it a few hard kicks âBang, bang, bang!â After a series of loud noises, the door opened He immediately clenched his fists But when he saw what the two people in the room were doing, he was stunned.
âMr Lampard? What are you doing here?â Astrid looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of her, then glanced at the damaged door, looking puzzled. Elio looked into her perplexed eyes and said casually, âJust passing by Colton said. âYour turn to playâ
Astrid turned her head to look at Colton, a lollipop in her mouth, and she smugly placed down her hand: âRoyal flush! You lose, pay up!â
She happily thumped the table and extended her hand to Colton, smiling.
âAll yours, Iâm wiped out again. Youâre mally good!â Colton pushed all the money in front of him to Astrid and continued clapping.
Astrid was happily counting the money her eyes squinted from smiling so much.
It was at this moment that Elio suddenly snapped back to reality.
Was he going crazy? He knew Colton was as smart as a fiveâyearâold. What could a child do to her? He was too impulsive.
He didnt know when, but this girlâs every move was unconsciously affecting his emotions.
His feelings for her were too intense, even he himself didnât understand why this girl was so special to him.
In front of her, he had always believed he could keep calm and composed but now all of that had gone.
At that moment he even found the laughing and joking scene in front of him to be quite an eyesore..
Seeing that Elio was still standing there, staring at her, Astrid felt uneasy and casually asked, âMr Lampard, why donât you join us for a game? Itâs pretty boring with just the two of us Elio looked at the two seated opposite him and slowly said, âAlright.â
He actually agreed?
Astrid was a bit surprised. She was just asking casually and hadnât expected Ello to agree After all, Elio didnât seem like the type to play cards.
The three of them played for a while, and Astrid clearly felt that since Ello joined, the atmosphere had become weird.
Colton was scared of Elio. Ever since Elio arrived, he stopped talking and didnât even dare to raise his head.
âI have something else to do. You two continue playing.â After a round, Astrid got up and made her way towards the exit.
Seeing her leaving, Colton immediately stood up and grabbed hold of the corner of her clothes, âWill we meet again?â âNo.â Elio said coldly, devoid of any sort of warmth.
His icy gaze swept across Coltonâs face, and Coltonâs pupils contracted slightly. He then let go of Astridâs clothes.
Astrid was taken aback by Elioâs unexpected speech. She looked at him in surprise. What was he up to?
Why was he assuming authority over her decisions?
But she really didnât want to see Colton again, not because she looked down on him for not being smart, but because she didnât want to be used by Sandra as a tool. âWeâll see each other again if itâs meant to be.â Astrid responded. âDid you remember everything I told you?â
Colton obediently nodded, âI remembered.â
âGood, then goodbye.â Astrid smiled and waved at Colton, then walked out cheerfully.
But she didnât anticipate Elio to follow her out and get into the elevator with her.
â...â Astrid looked at Ello through the elevator mirror, but this guy was expressionless and no different than usual.
From the beginning, she hadnât believed Elloâs excuse that he was just passing by. Who just casually passed by and kicked open hotel doors?
And it just so happened to be the room where she and Colton had been.
After some thought, she could only come to one conclusion, that Ello was here to find her..
But why?
Theyâd only met a few times and didnât know each other well.
