Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Oh my gosh!

There were so many reporters outside, if she got caught on camera, it was game over. Who knew what kind of stories they’d write about her! She hadn’t even officially debuted, and she would already be wrapped up in scandal. How can she possibly stay in the entertainment industry! Thinking about this, Astrid whimpered, “Mr Lampard, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said you’re like a stubborn disease. I realize my mistake now.” Hearing Astrid’s soft voice, Elio felt a ticklish sensation, as if a kitten was scratching at his heart. He was on the verge of caving.

As they were about to leave the building. Astrid panicked and called out, “Mr Lampard, can’t you cut a not–so–famous actress some slack?”

But no matter how much Astrid cried out, Elio didn’t stop. Luckily, there was no one else in this VIP access, or else it would’ve been a bigger mess.

The exit was within reach. Seeing Elio reach out to push the door, Astrid panicked and smacked him on the head, shouting, “Elio you jerk, put me down!” After yelling. Astrid immediately regretted it. Oh my god, did she just insult Elio? And smack him?

It was over, he was definitely going to be furious.

But the expected scene didn’t happen. Elio held her at the door for a while, then put her down and looked down at her, “What did you call me just now?” Astrid shivered, ‘Mr Lampard, I…”

“What did you call me?” Elio asked again.

His voice was no longer cold, instead sounding lazy with a hint of hoarseness. There was even a teasing tone to it.

Astrid pursed her lips, “Elio…”

Elio: “Hmm.” He liked hearing her call his name. His displeasure vanished instantly. He let go of her hand, ruffled her hair gently, and said in a doting manner, “Call me by my name from now on.”

He didn’t really plan on carrying her out, just wanted to give her a little scare.
