Chapter 541
"Let me tell you guys, in showbiz, while hard work is crucial, connections are just as important. Once I
get to know Ms. Shirley, do you really think I won't be able to snatch opportunities from Astrid?"
Linda sported an air of confidence, flashing a victorious smile before striding toward where Odell was
standing. "Hey, Mr. Odell, Ms. Shirley, how's it going?"
Shirley, ever the polite one, offered Linda a brief smile in return.
Odell, spotting Linda, gave a friendly nod. "Hey Linda, are you working?"
"Yep, yep!" Linda nodded eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation as she waited for Odell to make the
introductions with Shirley.
"Great, keep up the good work," Odell said cordially, then continued to chat and laugh with Shirley as
they walked away.
Linda was flabbergasted.
Keep up the good work? Wasn't Odell supposed to introduce her to Shirley?
Mamie and the others watched Linda being left in the dust, and their faces couldn't hide the smirks.
Linda felt her cheeks burning with embarrassment, wishing she could just disappear.
Undeterred, she followed them again, only to hear Odell say, "Ms. Shirley, the actress I want you to
meet is inside. She's one of the most talented actresses I've ever come across—insightful and Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
incredibly dedicated. I'm sure you'll take a liking to her."
Shirley responded with a gentle smile, "This is the first time I've ever heard you praise someone like
this. I'm quite intrigued by this young lady. I hope she doesn't disappoint."
"She won't let you down," Odell assured her, then waved over to Astrid, who was taking a break from
filming. "Astrid, over here!"
Astrid, hearing Odell's call, flashed a charming smile and said to the cameraman, "Could you hold on
just a sec for me?"
"No problem," the cameraman replied.
"Mr. Odell, what brings you here?" Astrid approached with a smile, noticing Shirley by his side. She
immediately bowed politely, "Ms. Shirley, hi, I'm Astrid. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Shirley's face lit up with recognition. "Odell, I thought you were talking about someone else! I know her
—Astrid, I'm a fan!"
"And I've professed my admiration for you on Twitter, but you never responded, which was a bit
embarrassing for me!"
Astrid and the rest were utterly baffled. Was this some kind of joke? The famous Shirley, a fan of
Astrid's, and she tweeted about it too?
Linda stood frozen, feeling a chill running down her spine.
Astrid was somewhat confused, "Ms. Shirley, are you sure you contacted me on Twitter?"
"Of course," Shirley said, pulling out her phone to show the tweet in question.
Astrid couldn't help but laugh—it turned out Shirley had followed a parody account!
"Ms. Shirley, you've followed the wrong person; that's not me..."
"What? But her handle is 'Astrid', and she's using your photo. How did I get it wrong?" Shirley, who
wasn't a frequent social media user, seemed genuinely perplexed. "Well, you better follow me back
soon."
"Sure, sure, right away," Astrid agreed quickly.
"How about we take a selfie and post it? I need to tell my fans my fangirling has paid off!"
"Could you turn up the beauty filter before we post it? Maybe even photoshop it a bit?"
"Let's exchange numbers, I'll add you on WhatsApp, no worries."
"You know, I really adore you. I've been wanting to meet you for ages; I was just abroad recently."
