Chapter 90
“Elio, Elio… Elio! Wow, seems like I truly have a special place in your heart compared to some others.
You’ve never attended their events!” Orion stood up and stretched his arms, ready to give Elio a hug,
“Come on, bro, bring it in!”
Seeing Orion approaching, Elio impassively held up a hand to Orion’s chest, “Back off a bit, will you?”
“Hey, don’t be so frosty, Elio!” Orion and Elio had been good friends for years. But Elio was a bit of an
oddball and always skipped events unless they were absolutely necessary for the corporation. Orion
was totally blindsided by Elio’s appearance today.
Thinking of Astrid behind him, Orion gave a mysterious smile, “Elio, let me introduce you to my master!”
“Master, meet my friend, Elio!”
As Astrid looked up, she saw Elio standing there, his face as cold as ever.
She twitched a smile. It really was a small world for the rich.
“Master?” Elio raised his eyebrows, “Why do you call her master?”
“This is kind of embarrassing” Orion scratched his head, looking a bit sheepish, “I’ve won a ton of gold
medals, but compared to her, I’m just a newbie.”
Elio was speechless.
A newbie?
Orion held multiple swimming world records. And he was a newbie compared to Astrid?
According to his sources, Astrid wasn’t known for her swimming skills.
Why was Orion calling her master?
Clearly, a lot had happened during the three years Astrid had been off the grid.
Seeing Elio staring at Astrid, Orion leaned in and whispered, “Elio, you’re not crushing on her, are you?
She’s not only stunning and seductive but also highly educated and smart. You’re not in her league!”
Elio raised an eyebrow, “Smart?” NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Yeah.” Orion nodded, looking very serious, “When I first met her, I was being mugged during a trip
abroad. She turned up out of nowhere and scared off the muggers in no time. Since then, I’ve taken a
vow to follow in her footsteps and be her loyal friend!”
Every time Elio thought he was starting to understand Astrid, he realized he knew nothing about her.
It was such a headache.
Looking at Astrid, who went back to her game, Elio glanced at Orion, who was gazing at Astrid with
fanboy admiration, and said coldly, “Move, you’re in my spot.”
“Alright, alright, it’s all yours. But I have to tell you, there’s a queue for pursuing her, Elio. You’d better
take a number and wait your turn!” Orion kept talking, but Elio just shot him a chilly look.
Orion swallowed hard and said, “You’re so fierce; she hates guys who are all fierce and scary. You
don’t stand a chance, Elio.”
After dropping his bombshell, Orion took off, occasionally looking back as he left the venue.
Elio’s appearance got all the actresses excited, “Oh my god, it’s Elio!”
“If I had known Elio was coming today, I would’ve worn my most expensive custom-made dress!”
“He’s so handsome, even more than on TV!”
“But why is Elio sitting at the back? With his status, shouldn’t he be in the front row?”
