Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 429

"No matter how hard you try to hide it, the hatred in your eyes is still plain as day," Astrid said. "It's not because you suck at hiding it, it's because I'm too smart."

Hearing this, Fannie's hand clenched into a fist inside her sleeve.

She lifted her gaze to Astrid, wanting to say something but then held back.

Astrid crossed her arms, leaning against the wall, grinning with satisfaction. "Ever since I found out you had a thing going on with the station's director, I've had my guys keeping tabs on you at the station. I knew you had tampered with the lights. But I thought, you sucking up to that old man just to have a shot at me, if I didn't play along, I'd just be a total heartless bitch. So I went along with your little act. How was my performance? Not too shabby, huh?"

Fannie stumbled, and her mind went blank!

Acted?

Astrid knew all along?

No way in hell!

Recalling the scene she had just witnessed on the surveillance footage, Fannie couldn't stop trembling!

When the light fell, everyone in the studio was in a panic, but Astrid was calm and composed, not a ripple on her face.

"I'm off, see you later," Astrid left, her smile radiant, but it sent chills down Fannie's spine.

Why, after all she had given, was she still the butt of the joke?

When Fannie's new assistant, Sallie, arrived, she found Fannie sitting on the floor, pale-faced. She hurried over to help her up. "Ms. Santos, we need to get you to makeup. We're due to start recording soon."
