Chapter 144
The next morning, Astrid headed to the set.
There were a lot of scenes to shoot today, so she arrived early, not wanting to keep the director and other actors waiting.
While she was getting her makeup done, Dale walked in and said, “Hey, you look pretty good today.”
Astrid replied, “Hey, Dale, you look pretty chipper yourself.” Then she noticed the ring hanging around Dale’s neck, and joked, “Hey, did you guys make up? Good for you.”
Dale froze instantly, looking down at the ring he had hung on a chain. He quickly tucked the ring into his shirt, saying, “I just felt sorry for him, it was out of pity!”
Watching his proud reaction, a wicked smile spread across Astrid’s face. “My brother is pitiful? I remember someone who often drowns his sorrows in alcohol and posts pessimistic stuff on Instagram…”
“I don’t know when I started liking solitude.”
“Those who love music are usually lonely, and I…”
“Bang!” Before Astrid could finish, she got a smack on the head.
Dale stood beside her, hands on his hips, fuming. “Astrid! Are you asking for a beating?”
Astrid picked up her phone, “You dare to hit me, I’ll call my brother…”
Dale said, “Okay, okay, you win!”
Turning around, Dale saw Gracie trying to hold back her laughter, and said angrily, “Gracie, they say you’re influenced by the company you keep, don’t let her corrupt you.”
Gracie shrugged, mimicking Astrid’s tone, “Those who love music are usually lonely, and I, who like to listen to music and drink late at night, am undoubtedly both lonely and empty.”
Astrid gave Gracie a thumbs–up, “Hahaha!”
“Ha!” Selena also couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Amidst the laughter of the three women, Dale awkwardly beat a hasty
retreat.
Half an hour later, Astrid was ready to go to the set.
That night, Astrid returned to the hotel. As she walked into the lobby, the receptionist called her over. “Miss Astrid, a gentleman left this for you.”
