Chapter 32
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 32 Astrid found herself drawn to Elio.
Elio was secretly thrilled She was falling for him.
Now, he should seize the moment.
With that in mind, Ello abruptly changed his demeanor, his smile fading. âMs. Irvine, you should know how I treat women who land in Astrid âI know, I know, for the love of Roman, could you cut me some slack just this once? Please donât do anything!â
Astrid shot Elio a sidelong glance, âItâs not that Iâm scared of you. Itâs just, we should always leave room for future dealings, right?â
my bed.â
Ello watched her proud stance, a sparkle in his eyes, âIf you want me to do nothing, I can do that, as long as you promise to take care of Roman when you can. Then Iâll forget what happened tonight.â
That way, heâd have a legitimate reason to see her in the future.
Astrid didnât realize Ello was setting a trap. The moment she heard it was just about taking care of Roman, she instantly agreed: âOk, no problem, I promise. But you canât back out, deal?â
With that said, Astrid suddenly remembered something, rushed out of the room, and ran back In a few seconds later with her phone, telling Ello, âRepeat what you just said.â
Elio found her seriousness amusing. He couldnât help but soften his gaze, repeating: âAs long as Astridâpromises to take care of Roman for the rest of her life, then I will forgive her for breaking into my bed tonight, and wonât pursue any future Instances of her doing so...â
âWait.â Astrid felt something was off, âWhat do you mean you wonât pursue any future Instances of me breaking Into your bed? There wonât be a next time, absolutely no chance!â
Watching Astrid storm out of the room, Ello suppressed a chuckle. Astrid could be adorably naive sometimes.
As for a next time, it wasnât up to her.
She was someone he had to have..
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Astrid returned to her room cautiously but couldnât bring herself to sleep.
She was afrald she might end up in Elloâs room again, so she stayed up all night playing games.
The next day, she got up early to go to work, feeling like she was floating due to lack of sleep.
Everyone in the crew was very friendly and didnât treat her differently because she was new.
When she arrived at the studio, the director of photography was taken aback, âTodd, her presence, her figure, her beauty, we havenât seen someone like her in years. I bet once her makeup photos come out, sheâll become an instant trend.â
Upon hearing this, Todd broke into a grin, âI hope youâre right.â
During the shopt, the photographer kept praising Astridâs beauty, much to the leading lady Joanaâs chagrin.
Astridâs performance was excellent, so the shoot ended quickly.
After signing her contract, she changed into comfortable clothes, ready to head home. But on her way out, she ran Into Fannie, a woman she despised.
Thinking of the past, Astrid clenched her fists, her body turning cold.
T Four and a half years ago, she had gotten drunk, but she was still conscious. She only passed out after having a glass of water at Fannieâs house.
When she woke up, she found herself on a hotel bed. Fannie was also taken aback at Astridâs appearance. She walked over to Astrid, smiling as she tried to hold her hand, âAstrid, itâs been years, youâve only grown more beautiful. I didnât expect to see you here.â
Astrid stepped back, avoiding Fannieâs hand.
Fannieâs extended hand hung In the alr, and her face flushing with embarrassment, âAstrid, Iâve explained what happened that night. Why wonât you belleve me? I took you home and Lucinda was supposed to look after you. I was devastated when I heard what happened.â
âDevastated?â Astrid scoffed, âDonât give me that âsisterly love crap, it makes me sick!â
