Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249

The bodyguards were gobsmacked. They’d never in a million years guessed that the landlord would be Elio! Wasn’t he supposed to be some old geezer?

Lamont’s hair stood on end in a flash, he was completely freaked out. He’d just tried to pick Elio’s lock.

This was a disaster!

Astrid stood with her arms crossed, looking at the man in front of her, and said frostily, “Well, well, Mr. Landlord, fancy bumping into you here.”

“Yeah, small world.” Elio didn’t know what to say, but he knew she’d find out sooner or later, so he didn’t try to hide it anymore. “Look, Astrid… Let me explain.”

“Explain?” Astrid scoffed. “The facts are right in front of me. What’s there to explain? You’ve been playing me!”

“…” Elio was silent for a few seconds, then said quietly, “If I’ve been playing you, it’s because I’m into you.”

The bodyguards were shocked!

Did he just confess his feelings out of the blue?

Suddenly, everyone felt like they might be intruding a bit.

Astrid was even more furious when she heard this. “Yeah, right. You’ve got some nerve!”

“I’m

sorry.” Elio responded softly. “I messed up. I shouldn’t have treated you like that. Tell me how I can make it up to you.” Everyone fell silent.

Were they hallucinating?

Was this really the same intimidating CEO they knew from the business world?
