Love in the Limelight

Chapter 425

Astrid handed her a neatly wrapped gift box. “Happy New Year.”

“Wow, what a beautiful gift! Thanks boss!” Selena held the package in delight. “Oh, Astrid, guess who I

saw just now? Fannie Santos!”

Astrid hadn’t heard that name in a long time. Fannie had disappeared ever since that incident. “Really?

Is she planning a comeback?”

“You’re kidding! Someone’s actually willing to have her on their show?” Gracie looked incredulous.

“Money really makes the world go round, huh? Can’t believe she’s making a comeback!”

“I’m not sure if she’s here for a show, but I saw her and the TV station’s boss talking, they were even

holding hands. They looked pretty close.” Selena lowered her voice as someone walked by, “I heard

the boss is getting a divorce because of Fannie!”

“Really?” Astrid was a sucker for gossip. Hearing this, she perked up immediately.

Just then, a tall girl approached them and greeted, “Ms. Irvine, hi. I’m Lola. Sorry I’m late.”

“It’s all good.” Astrid smiled at her. “Let’s walk and talk.”

“Sure, sure.” Lola agreed.

In reality, Lola was assigned to be Astrid’s assistant and she was somewhat nervous. Everyone knew

that Astrid was the apple of the famous Elio’s eye thanks to his public confession. She was worried that

if she didn’t do a good job, it might upset Mr. Lampard.

Throughout, Lola was on edge. “Ms. Irvine, anything you need in the lounge? Just tell me.”

“This is fine, you go do your thing. I’ll head over when it’s time for my rehearsal.” Astrid responded.

Lola immediately waved her off, “No, no, no. My job today is to accompany you. If there’s anything I’m

not doing right, please let me know.”

“It’s okay, don’t be so anxious. I’m just an ordinary artist, no need for special treatment.” After saying

this, Astrid sat down to check the schedule.

Lola didn’t leave and just stood quietly on one side. She looked rather uncomfortable.Books Chapters

Someone was knocking on the door. Hearing a knock on the door, Lola quickly got up to answer it. She

was surprised to see the person at the door, “Ms. Mandy, hello. This is Ms. Irvine’s lounge, did you

come to the wrong place?”

Without responding, Mandy just walked past Lola into the room. “I like this room. Any problem?”

“No problem.” Lola stood at the door, not daring to move.

To save Lola from the awkwardness, Astrid asked her to leave.

Astrid knew this woman was here to cause trouble but out of politeness, she greeted her, “Ms. Mandy,

hello. I’m Astrid.”

“Astrid? Never heard of you. Are you an actress? Or a singer?” Mandy looked Astrid up and down with

a sarcastic smile, “Any notable works?”

Gracie had seen many of Mandy’s performances before. Mandy was seen as a rational and gentle

woman.

Gracie’s mom loved her. Gracie even planned to ask her for an autograph.

But seeing Mandy’s attitude now, she felt repulsed.

Having been in the entertainment industry with Astrid for a while, she was used to celebrities being

different from their on-screen personas. But Mandy’s arrogance was particularly irritating.
