Chapter 76
“What?” The rain was too heavy and Elio couldn’t hear clearly what she was saying, “Astrid, what did you just say?”
“I said Roman must miss his mom terribly You must find her”
Elios hand on the steering wheel froze slightly. He didn’t know why Astrid suddenly brought this up, but he could clearly feel that
her mood was off tonight
But no matter what he asked afterwards, Astrid didn’t speak again. He had no choice but to drop it
In front of the floor–to–ceiling windows of the hotel. Roman sat watching downstairs. After an unknown amount of time, a
conspicuous pickup truck appeared in his sight through the curtain of rain. His eyes softened, then he turned to the man nearby
and said, “You can leave”
Upon hearing this, the man immediately left the hotel
Roman walked to the door opened it, and stood at the entrance, looking towards the elevator
Time ticked by, with every minute seeming like an eternity to him.
Finally the elevator doors opened Roman rushed over and hugged Astrid’s leg tightly. “Ms. Irvine, 1 missed you!”
Astrid felt a lump in her throat as she looked down at the adorable little guy in front of her. She bent down and picked him up. “I
missed you too, Roman. Will you sleep with me tonight?”
“Okay” Roman smiled brightly, wrapping his arms around Astrid’s neck and planting a kiss on her cheek. “Roman doesn’t want to
leave Ms. Irvine”
“We wont be apart. The heavens had taken her baby but had brought her Roman. Perhaps all of this was meant to be.
Astrid was feeling down and didn’t eat much at dinner, holding onto Roman the whole time.
After dinner, Elio helped bathe Roman, and Astrid took him to bed.
The presidential suite had two rooms. Elio slept in the other room, tossing and turning; unable to sleep-
Just as he was about to turn off the light after setting down his phone, it’vibrated.
Picking up his phone, Elio saw a message from Carson, “Dale wants to be the madam’s agent.”
Elio frowned, “Who?”
“Dale, the one who’s nurtured many Oscar–winning actors and actresses. He suddenly jumped ship from our competitor, Vista
Visual, to Starlight Entertainment and proposed to be the madam’s agent. Do you think there’s something fishy going on?”
Elio’s brow furrowed deeper. “Does he know Astrid?”
“Yes, and they’re quite close. Everyone on set saw it today. Dale calls her... little friend”
little friend?
Astrid was truly extraordinary. How could a pre–debut artist know a top agent in the Industry?
“Click A slight noise came from the door, and Ello looked up to see Astrid, with her eyes half–closed, swaying towards him.
She was sleepwalking...
She climbed into bed next to him naturally, grabbed one of his hands, and fell asleep..
And even pouted her lips a little..
Elio looked at the peaceful sleeping face of the young girl, bending down to plant a soft kiss on her forehead. Goodnight, little
girl.”
