Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 538

"What the heck?" Hank was baffled. "Change our name? Wasn't our old name pretty darn cool?"

Astrid rolled her eyes in disgust. "Are you for real? Your sense of style is as bad as Healey's. All the other secret organizations have these grand, prestigious names. What did Healey come up with? Tiger's Den!"

"It's not that bad... just lacks a bit of pizzazz without the actual tigers."

"So, what do you plan to change it to?"

With a slight arch of her brow, Astrid replied, "The Serpent Wranglers."

Hank was speechless. Seems like that's not much of an improvement.

After a second of stunned silence, Hank realized something. "Boss, are you planning to go head-to-head with them? If Jay's going after them, it's to take down Roman or Elio, right? So why wait for them to come knocking? We should take them out first."

"Exactly," Astrid affirmed. "You're on board then? But I'm telling you, the second hall might not agree, and we'll be in for a bloody battle." Hank heaved a sigh. "Boss, you shouldn't have agreed to take over for Healey. He's off enjoying the high life, and here you are, burdened with responsibilities you're too young for."

"Don't worry, Hank. If those second hall folks cause trouble, I'll just have to clean house. I may have never been back to headquarters, but Healey left me in charge. As the Boss, my word is law."

Hank nodded silently, accepting Astrid's resolve.

Rain started to drizzle outside as Astrid made her way home, taking ages to scrub off her makeup. Dale had helped her schedule a TV appearance, and in three months, she was slated to be on a parent-child show with Roman.

She was on the verge of recommencing her filming schedule - demanding, but rewarding. After a restless night on set, Astrid slept like a log.
