Chapter 127
“Oh? My magic tricks are just kiddie stuff, huh?” Astrid had a mocking glint in her eyes, “So, you’re saying you can crack my trick?”
Respect is a two–way street. If this woman didn’t respect her, she didn’t need to be polite either
Mocking others?
She wasn’t scared at all.
“Can’t say anything else, huh? If you can’t, then stop talking crap!” Astrid shot a sharp look. “You, who can’t even perform magic without messing up in front of fake audience, are mocking me?”
Everyone was shocked. They never expected Astrid to be so bold, to stand up to à senior. They were all dumbfounded.
Susana had been in the business for over a decade. Although not particularly famous, she had some experience, everyone called her ‘teacher‘. But this little girl right here, dared to call her trash?
“Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? Let me tell you, don’t be too full of yourself! We have special guests today. Once the big shots show up, your little tricks will be nothing. I can’t wait to see you embarrass yourself in front of the national audience!” Susana was fuming, but despite her long–winded speech, Astrid didn’t even spare her a glance.
As the countdown began, Susana, despite boiling with rage, composed herself and prepared to go on stage.
The Illusionist’s Realm was an online variety show. But it stood out from the others. Most shows are pre–recorded, so mistakes can be edited out But The Illusionist’s Realm was different. It was live, any mistakes would be painfully awkward. That’s why many netizens watched the show. They were not particularly interested in who had the best magic tricks. They were more interested in the cringe that came with any magic gone wrong!
“Let’s welcome our stars for today, Susana and Astrid!” announced the host.
They were supposed to walk out together, but in a bid to steal the limelight, Susana walked out alone.
The director was so frustrated he could choke her. But it was live, he couldn’t call cut, and had to let Susana walk out first.
After Susana took her place, Astrid walked out, looking elegant and cheeky in her light purple dress and light makeup, Standing next to Susana, she.. outshone her completely.
