Chapter 223
“Don’t sweat it; I’ll be in top form during the recording.” Astrid yawned, “By the way, where’s Dale? Has he gone to the studio?”
“He’s already there.” Gracie sighed, “I still haven’t got your brother’s contact info. I have no chance to even approach him. It’s a real downer!”
Astrid quickly comforted her, “That’s just the way my brother is. He doesn’t deserve you, and missing out on you is his loss!”
“You got that right! I’m a stunner! I’ve got both the looks and the curves; he’s definitely taking an L by missing out on me!” Gracie finished, then heaved a deep sigh, “But your brother is really handsome!”
Astrid was dumbfounded.
She stayed up late last night playing with Roman, so she had Chad continue to attack Quincy’s firewall. But even with a whole night’s effort, Chad still had no results.
This made her even more suspicious of Quincy.
Looks like she’ll be pulling an all–nighter tonight.
She popped a piece of candy in her mouth and thought it was deliciously sweet.
The candy Elio picked truly tasted great. It was sweet but not too much; she really liked it.
Before she could even finish one piece, she heard Gracie shouting, “Astrid, what did you just eat???”
Astrid looked confused, “Candy.”
“You’re a rising star; you need to watch your figure. How can you eat candy? I’m going to confiscate them all!” Before Gracie could finish, she saw Astrid in the rear–view mirror quickly stuffing several pieces of candy into her mouth. Then she flashed her a triumphant peace sign.
Gracie got a headache from anger, and as soon as she got out of the car, she started calling to complain, “Astrid’s getting out of hand; she actually ate high–calorie candy! And several pieces of it too!”
Dale replied. “You’re telling me this, but what can I do? I can’t afford to offend her, let alone her brother.”
Gracie fell silent.
Never mind; she couldn’t afford to offend them either.
