Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

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."

Dale continued, "No matter how busy you are, there's always time to send a message. Never believe a

guy who says he's too busy to reply. It only takes a few seconds!"

Gracie didn’t know what to say

Seeing Gracie silent, Astrid immediately slapped Dale's arm and comforted Gracie. "Don't listen to

Dale's nonsense. You know Rickon, he's not much of a talker and rarely uses social media. Don't back

down now! Rickon has never asked me out for a meal all these years. You know how special that

makes you, right?"

Upon hearing it, Gracie instantly brightened up, "Don't worry, I won't back down. If he doesn't ask me

out, I'll ask him. I'll annoy the hell out of him! I have to leave now. I need to get dressed."

Astrid said, "Take the car. Dale can drop me off."

Gracie blew them a kiss as she left, "Okay, love you!"

Dale watched Gracie's cheerful figure disappear, puzzled. "I really don't understand the world anymore.

Even Rickon has a girlfriend now. Do you think Gracie and that introverted Rickon make a good pair?"

"Why can't a great guy like Rickon have a girlfriend? If you can find a boyfriend, why can't Rickon find a Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

girlfriend?" Astrid glared at Dale, "Stop babbling. Let's go, we can't be late for the briefing."

Dale was silenced by Astrid's glare and obediently went to start the car.

No sooner had Dale left than she was stopped by someone.

"Astrid, it really is you!"

Astrid turned around to see Bernice, chatting and laughing with the producer.

Upon seeing Astrid, Fraser introduced her to Bernice with a smile, "Astrid, although you and Bernice

had some disagreements previously, it's really not a big deal. With both of you in our show, it's bound to

be a hit."
