Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 473

Astrid nodded, "Yeah, we signed the contract."

Gracie replied, "Wow, that was fast!"

After some thought, Gracie decided not to tell Astrid about Elio's proposition. After all, she didn't take his money - although she was tempted to.

Her phone buzzed and she quickly grabbed it. Her mouth dropped open in surprise. "Astrid, it's Rickon! He wants to take me out for dinner!"

Astrid chuckled at Gracie's excitement. "Go ahead, Selena can accompany me for the afternoon briefing. We don't have much going on anyway."

"But seriously, what kind of relationship are you guys in? You hardly ever see each other!"

Gracie hugged her phone, grinning from ear to ear. "You don't understand - absence makes the heart grow fonder!"

"I have so many flaws. If I'm always around him, he'll surely get tired of me. So, I decided to keep my distance. It's perfect."

"Perfect?" Astrid smirked. "Aren't you planning to marry Rickon someday? Are you going to keep your distance then too? You'll live in separate rooms like roommates?"

Gracie said, "That... sounds fine to me! We'll do our marital duties, and then sleep separately. Perfect!"

Gracie's twisted logic made Dale choke on his coke.

Dale looked at Gracie, speechless. "From what I see, you and Rickon are not even in a relationship. If you truly like someone, you'd want to see them often. Yet, you two barely even keep in touch."

Gracie said, "He's just really busy."
