Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95

When Astrid spoke, all heads turned towards Fannie.

Fannie sat there nervously, her face painted with an awkward yet polite smile.

If she could, she’d love to jump up and lash out at Astrid. But she had to keep her cool in public.

Clearly, Astrid knew that Fannie had intentionally set her up to be called on stage, and now she was trying to embarrass her.

She and Noreen usually chatted over WhatsApp; how the heck did Astrid learn about this?

Does Astrid have some sort of psychic power or something?

Noreen, clueless about the real deal, thought that Fannie and Astrid were actual buddies, so she quickly handed a microphone to Fannie.

Staring at the microphone in front of her, Fannie didn’t know whether to take it or not.

Seeing everyone’s eyes on her, she finally took the microphone and managed to say with a forced smile. “Don’t thank me; it’s your talent that’s making everyone’s jaws drop.” Astrid retorted. “Quit playing modest; if it weren’t for your heads up to the host, my low profile wouldn’t have caught anyone’s eye!”

The moment these words came out, Elio and Orion’s faces dropped.

Every charity gala would invite people onstage and they were always some big-shot celebs. It was weird when the host called Astrid, but now it all clicked.

So it was Fannie who was up to no good.

She wanted to set up Astrid but ended up shooting herself in the foot.
