Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105

Astrid sneered, “You been watching too many horror flicks or what? Ain’t no such thing as witches in this world.”

She was already soaked to the skin, so Astrid just plopped down on the steps.

The rain seemed to clear her head a bit.

Her bodyguard in the shadows immediately texted Robb: “Ms. Irvine’s drunk as a skunk, sitting in the rain. Should we take her home?”

Robb: “No need, just make sure she’s safe.”

Because of the distance and dim lighting no one saw the chain in Astrid’s palm.

So, they all thought something weird must’ve happened when Leah suddenly rolled away.

No matter how her manager yelled, Leah acted like she was under a spell.

In the end, she had no choice but to slap Leah.

The sharp pain snapped Leah out of it. She got up from the ground, looking bewildered in the rain.

“Abby, why’d you hit me?” Leah asked.

Abby was confused, “You don’t know what just happened? You walked over to talk to Astrid and started rolling around. If I hadn’t grabbed you, you would’ve rolled into the street and got hit by a car.”

What? Leah looked through the rain at the girl sitting on the steps, her head buried in her knees, looking like she had fallen asleep.

She had no memory of rolling around on the ground, which was strange.

Looking deeply, Leah walked quickly towards Astrid, shouting, “Astrid, what did you do to me?“”

“Do you enjoy making a fool out of yourself? Look at you like a beggar.”

“So what if Mr. Willie defended you? Without him, you’re just a nobody.

“You, a girl from the slums, dreaming of chasing after a rich son like Mr. Willie, he’s just temporarily Intrigued; otherwise, why would he leave you here alone?”

This hotel was close to the charity event, and many celebrities had dinner there. Because of the heavy rain, everyone was waiting in the lobby, unable to leave. Hearing Leah’s yelling, everyone came out.

Leah talked a big game but was scared, so she dared not get close to Astrid.

Everyone looked at Astrid sitting in the rain, looking miserable, and started whispering, “What’s up with Astrid? Why’s she sitting in the rain?“.

“She looks so miserable.”
