Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 428

Gracie nodded, "I was scared. Glad you're okay. My palms were full of sweat when I rushed up there."

"Do you think it could be Mandy?"

"Mandy?" Astrid shook her head, "No way. She doesn't have the guts. Besides, our petty quarrels aren't enough to make her want to off me. She's been in the biz for so many years, she'd never risk her career just to frame me."

Gracie frowned, "If it's not her, then who could it be? You don't have any enemies, do you?"

"Don't worry, I have a solution. Go find Selena." Astrid pushed Gracie into the elevator, watched the doors close, then turned and walked down the hallway.

Not long after, Chad texted her, "Chief, I've been getting a bad vibe recently. How about Hank and I come and protect you? Otherwise, we'd be worried sick."

Astrid replied, "I can handle it. I'm fine."

Chad continued, "Chief, no matter how tough you are, you're still a girl. There are some things that men are just better equipped to handle."

Astrid said, "You just focus on running the company and taking care of Roman."

Chad looked at the message, his unease deepening.

These days he'd been digging into the Lampard family for Astrid, but there was very little he could find. And many members of the Lampard family had close ties with some shadowy international organizations.

He had a gut feeling, something bad was about to happen.

"Dang, it's cold!" Hank walked in with a barbecue and a beer, noticed Chad packing up, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Chad replied, "Chief just had a rehearsal at the TV station. A stage light fell from above. If she hadn't dodged in time, she might've been..."

"What?! Who dares to harm our Chief!" Hank's smile instantly disappeared, replaced by anger, "Let's go. We need to protect the Chief and show those people that our chief has backers."

The two quickly agreed and left the building after locking up the office.
