Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 111

Gracie followed Astrid's gaze, her eyes widening in surprise before whispering, "Oh wow, what does Director want from you at this hour? He's not gonna blow his top because we took the day off, right?" "No worries, go and rest. I'll chat with Director, Astrid replied, starting to head off.

Upon seeing her return, Todd quickly approached, grinning. "Astrid, finally you're back. I heard from a friend that you're a magician. In the drama, your character participates in a talent show, right? So, we could switch it to a magic show instead of a dance performance. It would be more captivating; what do you think?"

Astrid gave Todd a long look. He was quick on his feet. Magic was more attention-grabbing than singing and dancing, and it would make her character more prominent.

"You call the shots, Director Astrid was visibly relieved when she learned it was just this. "However, I might need your help in getting some magic props. I'll make a list and send it to you later Is that okay?"

"No problem, no problem." Todd nodded, handing her the revised script, "We've changed some lines to go with the new performance. Give it a read tonight." Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Sure thing "Astrid nodded in agreement.

Todd further explained some arrangements for the next day's scenes before he left.

After a hot shower, Astrid lay in bed reading the script.

Around eleven at night, there was a knock at the door.

She got up to answer it, finding a delivery guy standing there with a huge gift box, "Good evening, Ms. Irvine, here's your delivery."

Astrid was puzzled, "But I didn't order anything."

The delivery guy smiled, "It's from your fan. You need to accept it."

"Oh, thank you." Astrid took the box and walked back inside.

Opening the box, she found it full of various candies.

There were hundreds of types of candies, each one unique and packaged adorably. They all looked delicious.

But she couldn't find any note inside the box.

She had no idea who sent it.

Her phone, plugged in for charging, buzzed. Astrid picked it up and saw a message from Elio: "Heard that sweets can cheer you up when you're down. How do you feel now?" Her heart skipped a beat. How did Elio know she was feeling down?

Were these candies from him?

"Knock, knock, knock..." The door was knocked again. This time, it was a cake delivery.

Moreover these cakes were driven from Sunhaven, a brand she loved. The flavors were also her favorites.

Elio really did his homework.

Back in her room, another message from Elio popped up: "Do you like candies?".

Astrid: "Yes."

Elio: "Do you like the cake?"

Astrid: "Yes."

Elio: "Do you like me?"

With the word "Yes" already typed, Astrid suddenly realized he was trying to lead her on! Quickly deleting her typed response, she replied instead, "Really? That's your game?"

On the other side of the screen, Elio wore a gloomy face.
