Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152

“Clyde’s already a very popular person, and working with him is all upside for you, no downside. You’re new, you know what public attention means to you, right?”

Astrid kept quiet, not interrupting Irene.

Not until Irene finished her sermon did she lift her head with a smile, “Shouldn’t this be up to my manager?”

“I’ve already talked to Dale, but he shot me down. I figured he values your opinion, so I thought I’d run it by you.” Irene grinned, then said, “Dale usually manages top–tier talent, they don’t need collaborations to boost their visibility, but you, you need to ride someone’s coattails to get noticed.”

“Boost visibility?” Astrid arched an eyebrow, “Are you trying to use me?”

Irene’s face flickered.

Astrid continued, “Clyde’s a crowd favorite, most of his fans are girls. If I collaborate with him, they’ll think I’m taking advantage of their idol.”

“Clyde will get more attention, but I’ll get slammed by his fans. Boost visibility? More like asking for a roasting!”

Astrid tilted her head, looking at Irene. Her smile made Irene a bit uncomfortable.

That was exactly what she had in mind, she just didn’t expect Astrid, a newbie, to see right through her.

In TV and movies, lead actors stirring up gossip is common. Sometimes it’s a joint effort, sometimes it’s a one–sided play.
