Chapter 309
“Me, get hurt? Impossible.” Aikin brushed off Fabian’s words and walked away with scorn.
Astrid was standing under a tree practicing her fight moves when she saw Gracie running over with a grim face.
Before Astrid could even ask what was wrong, Gracie grabbed her arm and asked seriously, “Astrid, can you ride a horse?”
“Yeah.” Seeing the expression on Gracie’s face, Astrid playfully tapped her head with a script, “Anger ages people.“.
Gracie plopped down, her face stormy. “I just came from over there. There was a bunch of people huddled in the prop room, and I have no idea what they were doing. So I sneaked a peek, and they scattered as soon as they saw me!”
“Then I heard them setting up a bet on how many times you’ll be knocked off your horse by Aikin this afternoon! It made my blood boil!”
“Huh?” Astrid raised an eyebrow, “Just a gamble, why are you pissed off?”
“Some people’s words were too harsh, so I couldn’t help but go over and argue with them.” Gracie pouted. “Then they kept provoking me and you know my temper, I couldn’t help it, so I bet with them!”
“If I lose, I have to stand outside for an hour in a short sleeve shirt. If they lose, they all have to stand outside for an hour in short sleeves!”
“But then I realized they tricked me. They did it on pur
purpose, but I already signed the bet!”
At this point, Gracie was very regretful, “Ever since I became your assistant, I’ve been–trying to control my temper, but I can’t stand them talking bad about you!”
