Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 75

“Cut the crap. are you gonna help me or not? Ashid changed the subject, her eyes as cold as ice “Dale,

if you consider me a friend, then drop the subject of that guy. Or else I’ll get pissed.”

“Alright I’m sorry” Dale realized he had upset Astrid and quickly added. ‘Til just say this one last time

That guy won’t let you off easily

“If he dares to come at me I’ll fight him tooth and nail Now let’s drop it. I have a few scenes to shoot

today and Tve got stuff to do afterward. You can stay here for now and we’ll talk more tomorrow.” Astrid

stood up and left

Dale watched her rush off, swallowing the words he was about to say

After all this time she was still as headstrong as ever Whatever, they were friends through thick and

thin. After all, he owed his life to her. So, he could only spoil her

Dale sat on the sofa and pulled out his phone to play some games Astrid reappeared in the doorway.

“You know what they say, quarrels between lovers are the renewal of love. How long are you planning

to give him the silent treatment?”

“Astrid, do you still want my help? Dale retorted grumpily

Astrid just shrugged, “Just forget I said anything”

These two were such a handful

A few minutes later, Astrid arrived at the shooting location.

Todd noticed her off–kilter demeanor and voiced his concern, ‘Astrid, are you feeling unwell?”

Im fine Director Let’s get started Astrid took a deep breath and flashed Todd a smile.

Todd nodded, but he was still worried. However, as soon as he yelled “action“, Astrid was back in the

zone.

The scene was her character’s first encounter with her love interest. She perfectly embodied the

shyness and anticipation of a young girl falling in love for the first time. The chemistry between her and

her co–star was palpable and their sweet atmosphere had the crew’s hearts racing.

“They are so adorable together.”

“Oh my god, I’m a girl, and even I’m smitten with Astrid!”

“She’s so beautiful that she looks great from every angle. Such delicate skin and such a tall figure!”

By the time they wrapped up, it was already past nine in the evening. Astrid checked her phone to find

a string of messages from Roman, all asking when she would be back.

“Tm on my way” Astrid sent a voice message, then headed towards the parking lot. From a distance,

she saw Ello standing by the car, watching her.

Thinking back to their argument earlier, Astrid felt a bit awkward, “Did you leave Roman at the hotel?”

“I have someone looking after him; don’t worry.” Ello opened the car door for her.

“Oh.” Astrid got into the car, and as Elio reached over to fasten her seatbelt, she quickly stopped him, Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Lampard, I can do it myself.”

Elio didn’t exactly enjoy being referred to as Mr. Lampard by her. It felt too formal and distant.

The ride was silent.

Astrid was unusually quiet today, her gaze fixed outside the window, seeming a bit lonesome.

Did something happen today that upset you?” Ello finally broke the silence after a while.

Astrid looked forlorn as she softly said, “I just found out someone very important to me has left this

world.”

Elio could tell she was trying to keep her emotions in check. Her hand, resting on her lap, clenched

tightly as she spoke.

That person must have meant a lot to her….

The light turned red, and the car came to a stop.

Rain began to fall outside. The windshield wipers swished back and forth, and Astrid watched the

droplets slide down the window, quietly saying, “Mr. Lampard, you must find Roman’s mother.”

She knew the pain of losing a loved one all too well. No matter how much she cared for Roman, she

could never replace his birth mother.
