Chapter 37
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 37 Tina breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent over the address.
She thought Brandon might kick up a fuss when he found out that Ello was after Astrid. Ello and the hotâtempered Brandon might end up at each otherâs throats. Last year, a rich man tried to hit on Astrid even though he had a girlfriend, and Brandon beat him so badly he spent a month in the hospital.
Brandon didnât care who the man was, if he tried to take his sister, heâd go ballistic, no questions asked.
Thinking of all Astridâs overâzealous suitors, Tina thought Elio was in for a rough ride.
Carson had been pulled away by Paula for a long chat. When he returned to the lounge, he saw Elio looking at the dressing room door and smiling.
Smiling? His boss can smile?
Carson thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes, only to find that his boss was indeed smiling!
If he hadnât seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed his boss had such a soft side.
Indeed, the power of love is immeasurable!
Feeling Carsonâs presence, Elio instantly switched back to his usual icy demeanor,â What is it?â
Carson: âPaula, Fannieâs agent, wants to arrange a meeting with you to discuss the recent suspension of Fannieâs project. Our contract with Fannie is about to expire, and I recently discovered that the head agent of our competitor, Vista Visual, has been meeting with Fannie privately. Paula hinted that if we continue to suspend Fannieâs project, Fannie might switch over to Vista Visual.â
Elio: âTerminate the contract immediately, and from now on, all the films and TV shows our group invests in wonât need Fannie.â
Fannie dared to threaten him?
Feeling Elioâs icy stare, Carson felt a sudden chill. Indeed, his bossâs gentleness was reserved for Astrid alone.
Carson: âBoss, should I arrange to sign your wife to our company?â
Wife? Hearing this, the chill in Elioâs eyes softened, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. âSure, but donât let her know it was my idea.â

ï¤Chapter 36 Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
âRight away, boss,â Carson said, hurrying out to contact the film and TV company. As soon as he hung up, he received a WhatsApp message from the financial director: âCarson, what big thing have you done? The boss just texted me personally to give you a bonus this month.â
Carson: âI didnât do anything.â
Financial Director: âThereâs no way the boss would give you a bonus for no reason. Stop being stingy and tell me what you did. Letâs make money together.â Carson was dumbfounded. He racked his brain but couldnât figure it out.
Just then, he received a message from the head of Starlight Entertainment, and suddenly it clicked. His boss had given him a bonus because heâd referred to Astrid as his wife.
From now on, he decided, he would stick close to Astrid. With her on his side, making big bucks would be a piece of cake!
Elio had a board meeting in the afternoon. After waiting for Astrid for a while without any sign of her, he left first.
An hour later, Todd arranged for cars to take the actors to the press conference. Astrid, Joana, and her agent Emily rode together.
Fearing that her acquaintances might do something unexpected, she sent a message in a WhatsApp group named âMy Friendsâ: âAll of you, donât cheer for me, or youâre toast!â
Leaders from all walks of life seeing the message; one by one silently picked up their phones and canceled their lavish support.
As for her unreliable brothers... forget it, they wouldnât listen even if she told them.
Joana looked at Astridâs customâmade gown and her beautiful face and felt a pang of envy.
Emily: âJoana is the most beautiful, no matter what she wears, her fans love her. But some people... even if sheâs dressed to the nines, thereâs not a single fan on site, no one knows her. Who are they trying to impress?â
