Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97

At that moment, Fannie felt a bit dizzy. She turned to look at Astrid, only to feel a sense of fear towards the sweet-smiling girl in front of her.

“Don’t look at me like that; you’re freaking me out,” Astrid casually raised an eyebrow, “Next time there’s an opportunity like this, hand it over to me, will ya? I wouldn’t mind you throwing all your resources my way. Not many folks are willing to sacrifice for others these days.”

With that, Astrid spun around and left, leaving Fannie alone with a view of her retreating back.

Fannie stood there, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

Astrid, humming a tune, returned to her seat. When she sat down, she heard Elio’s icy remark, “Ms. Irvine, you’re quite something. Even the master magician is smitten with you.”

“Of course,” Astrid lifted her chin in pride, “I have fans worldwide.”

“The whole world?” Elio was skeptical.

He thought Astrid was joking, so he didn’t press the matter. But one thing was clear; he’d probably have much more competition for her attention after today.

From when Astrid walked on stage to when she returned, many male actors couldn’t take their eyes off her. If it weren’t for him being there, a lot of them would definitely have tried to get her contact info. He was glad he came, or who knows what would’ve happened.

Astrid seemed in high spirits, humming a tune under her breath, although he couldn’t determine what it was.

The charity event was finally coming to a close with donations and group photos. Elio wasn’t a fan of the latter, so he left early to wait for Astrid in the car.

Compared to the starlets vying for the spotlight, Astrid seemed very laid-back. She stood out no matter where she was.

As the event wrapped up, she ran into Joana, who greeted her enthusiastically, “Astrid, do you know Locke?”

“Sort of,” Astrid nodded.
