Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 104

She’d just hailed a cab when her bodyguard shadowed her from the back alley.

When Astrid arrived at the hotel, Dale had sealed the deal with the producers.

Upon seeing her, they exchanged a few pleasantries before immediately signing the contract.

It was an agreement to be the resident guest on a magic variety show.

Carlos was tipsy, swaying as he walked. He told Dale, “You’ve signed a good actress this time, Ms.

Irvine’s got the goods

She’s going places.”

“Thanks, Mr Carlos, Astrid gave a small laugh, maybe due to the high temperature of the air–

conditioning in the private room, she felt a bit warm. Astrid looked at Dale, “You’ll have to get Mr. Carlos

home.”

1ll get Mr Carlos home, but can you get home yourself? Where did you go drinking before this? Why

are you so flushed?” Dale asked, clearly concerned. Astrid shook her head. “I’m fine, you know I can

handle my liquor; just go, I’ll get a cab home.”

Dale Alright then, stay put here, Mr. Carlos‘ house isn’t far; I’ll come back for you as soon as I drop him

off.”

“Okay “Astrid nodded.

You better wait for me here!” Dale reminded Astrid several times before leaving, helping Carlos to his

feet.

Astrid was feeling increasingly warm.

She began to feel the effects of the alcohol.

Apart from feeling warm, she didn’t have any other discomforts

She decided to rush home before the alcohol fully kicked in.

Astrid stood up and quickly went downstairs, but as soon as she stepped out of the hotel, she was

stunned.

It was pouring rain and windy outside..

Just her rotten luck. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hey, isn’t that our magician, Ms. Irvine? No one to pick you up?” A sarcastic voice rang out. Astrid

turned to see Leah and a bunch of artists.

She turned her back on them, not wanting to entertain their nonsense.

The rain was getting heavier, and she was feeling hot, so she reached out to catch some rain, treating

Leah and her entourage like they were just air.

Thinking of being forced to apologize to Astrid at the charity gala, Lean was angry. Being ignored by

Astrid now only wounded her pride further, so she snapped, “Astrid, are you deaf? You’re putting on

airs before you’re even famous?”

Astrid felt dizzy from the wind, and Leah’s words were grating on her nerves. “I don’t want to talk to

you; why are you still speaking to me? Are you sick in the head?”

“Astrid! Don’t bite the hand that feeds you; you really think I can’t get you kicked out of the

entertainment industry? Leah yelled, stomping towards Astrid.

Just as Leah stepped away from Astrid, Astrid suddenly snapped her fingers, and a small chain quietly

slipped from her palm.

A few seconds later, Astrid said, “Roll.”

Before finishing her sentence, the usually overbearing Leah suddenly doubled over. She started rolling

on the ground, rolling into the rain..

Everyone stared at this bizarre scene, dumbfounded.

Leah was about to roll into the middle of the road when her manager finally snapped out of it and

rushed to stop her.

But Leah was powerful, still struggling to roll forward. Her manager was furious; he yelled at Astrid,

“Astrid, you witch, what did you do to Leah?!”
