Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 96

He always had a good eye for talent. The people he has his sights set on often have great potential!

Fannie saw Otto and Astrid step out and suddenly felt uneasy. She immediately stood up to follow and

heard Otto mention Astrid auditioning for the lead role.

She felt anxious and quickly approached, whispering, “Director, is there some misunderstanding? I

thought the role of the lead actress was decided for me?”

“Fannie,” Otto laughed, “I remember saying you seemed suitable for this role, but nothing was set in

stone. We didn’t sign any contracts or make any announcements. Plus, I’m just inviting Ms. Irvine for

an audition. Nothing’s decided yet.”

Fannie bit her lip, “Oh, but Astrid…”

“I’m free; I’d make time even if I’m not. I’m really grateful for this opportunity, Director. I won’t let you

down.” Astrid smiled, then turned to Fannie. “Ms. Santos, I can’t thank you enough. If it weren’t for you

giving me this chance, the Director wouldn’t have considered me…”

“You’re my savior!”

Savior?

Fannie was lost for words.

Otto said, “Indeed, Fannie, without you, I wouldn’t have discovered such a promising newcomer…”

Promising newcomer?

Fannie felt like she was about to lose it.

Her father was in trouble; she had broken off Starlight Entertainment and was about to sign with Vista

Visual. However, Dale had labeled her as a blocked artist from Starlight, so Vista Visual backed out.

She was already short of resources, and now she was about to lose the role she had in her grasp.

She felt like dying at this moment. She wanted to trap Astrid, but Astrid had stolen the spotlight and her

role!

What the hell was happening?

“Ms. Irvine, I’m a producer for a magic-themed variety show; here’s my card.”

“Everyone, for work-related matters, you can contact me. I’m Astrid’s agent Dale. I’ll treat you to dinner

if you’re free after the party.” Dale walked over, full of charisma.

The producers knew Dale well. They exchanged pleasantries and began to chat.

Dale gestured for Astrid to rest. Then she bid everyone goodbye and left.

Fannie immediately followed. Before she could confront Astrid, Astrid turned around.

“Fannie.” Astrid smiled slightly, a smile that sent shivers down Fannie’s spine.

Fannie bit her lip, resentment in her eyes. “Astrid, are you enjoying this?”

Astrid didn’t answer Fannie’s question. She leaned slightly towards Fannie and, after a while, said, “I

have many talents, like dancing, playing the piano, or… telling jokes, but do you know why I choose

magic?”

Seeing the girl’s smiling eyes, Fannie felt a chill run up from her feet. Could it be…

“Yes, you guessed it right. I knew you were involved in Mr. Carlos’s magic-themed movie, so yes, I did

it on purpose!” Astrid’s words sent chills down Fannie’s spine. After all these years, she never thought Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Astrid could be so cunning!

She had everything all figured out from the get-go!
