Chapter 104
She’d just hailed a cab when her bodyguard shadowed her from the back alley.
When Astrid arrived at the hotel, Dale had sealed the deal with the producers.
Upon seeing her, they exchanged a few pleasantries before immediately signing the contract.
It was an agreement to be the resident guest on a magic variety show.
Carlos was tipsy, swaying as he walked. He told Dale, “You’ve signed a good actress this time, Ms. Irvine’s got the goods
She’s going places.”
“Thanks, Mr Carlos, Astrid gave a small laugh, maybe due to the high temperature of the air–conditioning in the private room, she felt a bit warm. Astrid looked at Dale, “You’ll have to get Mr. Carlos home.”
1ll get Mr Carlos home, but can you get home yourself? Where did you go drinking before this? Why are you so flushed?” Dale asked, clearly concerned. Astrid shook her head. “I’m fine, you know I can handle my liquor; just go, I’ll get a cab home.”
Dale Alright then, stay put here, Mr. Carlos‘ house isn’t far; I’ll come back for you as soon as I drop him off.”
“Okay “Astrid nodded.
You better wait for me here!” Dale reminded Astrid several times before leaving, helping Carlos to his feet.
Astrid was feeling increasingly warm.
She began to feel the effects of the alcohol.
Apart from feeling warm, she didn’t have any other discomforts
She decided to rush home before the alcohol fully kicked in.
