Chapter 88
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 88 She sat up, feeling a bit irritable, then heard Gracieâs loud call, âAstrid, Astrid, get up already!â
Astrid rubbed her eyes and went to open the door. As soon as she opened it, Gracie rushed in, âHurry up, pack up; we need to go, or weâll be late!â
âLate for what? I have no plans today!â Astrid rubbed her eyes and climbed back into bed, but before she could lay down, Gracie pulled her up again.
Gracie was a bit dissatisfied to see Astrid like this, âThereâs a charity gala tonight; we still have to get our hair and makeup done; if weâre late, itâs not going to be good. You should know there are a lot of important people at this charity gala; itâs good to meet some influential people.â
âOh.â Gracie pushed Astrid into the bathroom and she was so sleepy that she started dozing off on the bathroom counter.
Gracie, who was standing at the door,/saw her drowsy look, walked over, turned on the faucet, filled a cup with water, and was about to splash it on Astridâs face.
Seeing this, Astrid immediately woke up, âGracie, thereâs no need!â
Gracie gave her a stern look, âYou have five minutes.â
âOkay, okay.â Astrid pushed Gracie out of the bathroom and started to wash up obediently.
Meanwhile, at Sunhaven, Elio had just finished a meeting, and Carson came over and whispered, âChief, are you going to the charity gala tonight?â
âNo.â Elio immediately refused, without any hesitation.
Carson was silent for a moment, then asked again, âMs. Irvine is also going; arenât you going? And it seems that Mr. Willie knows Ms. Irvine. When I was looking up information on Ms. Irvine, I found pictures of them together.â
Pictures?
Elio paused, âReserve the spot next to her for me.â
Carson held back a laugh, âAlright, Chief.â
Half an hour later, Astrid drove back to Sunhaven, She would have been on time, but due to traffic, she arrived after the red carpet event had finished.
The staff didnât recognize her, so they rudely asked, âInvitation?â
âHere here.â Gracie quickly handed over the invitation.
The man glanced at the invitation and then let her in.
Gracie couldnât enter the venue, so Astrid looked at the seat number on the invitation and went over alone.
As soon as she entered, she saw Fannie and a group of actresses chatting not far away.
Seeing her walk over, Fannie looked in her direction. The actresses, noticing Fannieâs gaze, also turned to look.
Actress Leah glanced at Astrid and asked Fannie, âYou know her?â
âMhm, we went to high school together.â Fannie smiled, âWe used to be good friends, but then she started dating a rich guy and stopped hanging out with me.â
Hearing this, Leah and the others burst into laughter.
Fannie added, âShe just signed with Starlight Entertainment; Dale paid a lot of penalty fees to help her break her contract with Vista Visual. We better not mess with her; after all, with Dale backing her up, we canât afford to provoke her.â
Astrid had already walked up to them. Leah strode over, speaking in a not-so-friendly tone, âOur charity galaâs standards are really dropping. Now anyone can get in.â
Astrid turned to look at the woman in front of her and scoffed, âYeah, Iâm also surprised. A star whoâs known for betraying her partners is also here.
Are you trying to clean up your image by doing charity?â
Leah didnât expect Astrid to accuse her. Her face turned pale, then green, and she was quite embarrassed, âLook at yourself; your clothes, shoes, and accessories all add up to just a few thousand, right? You look poor. Are you going to be able to donate later?â
âMy goodness, is this a knockoff of Summerâs? Iâm dying of laughter; you actually wore a knockoff to a charity gala!â
âIf you donât have money, donât pretend to be rich!â
âOh my god, this is really a knockoff, right? Iâm very familiar with Summerâs haute couture dresses; thereâs no such model as what sheâs wearing!â
âYou must really have no shame...â
