Love in the Limelight

Chapter 55
Astrid “Some people just won’t get famous no matter how many leading roles they have played. Just let things flow naturally, I
need to face the market test. You just do your job seriously, I have faith in you!”
Looking at the message, Chad reached out and scratched his messy hair like a chicken coop, and wailed on the table, “I’m really
going to collapse! If Chief doesn’t come back, I’m going to be crushed.” The phone rang, and Chad looked at the phone with red
eyes, and then immediately refreshed.
Astrid. “Your annual salary increase of three million.”
Chad was ecstatic, and immediately sent a lot of response words: “Wow! Chief, you are the brightest star in my eyes, the kindest
and greatest boss in the world, because of your appearance, I feel that even the air has become sweeter, now, I just want to say
to you, Chief, I love you!”
Astrid, reading this, was speechless and quickly sent a message back to Chad: “Buzz off!”
Thinking about Chad and Hank, Astrid’s expression softened.
They met in elementary school, at that time she was always beaten by Sandra and went to class with injuries all over her body.
Hank and Chad were physically and mentally injured because they were often abused by their stepmother. These three kids
comforted each other and became close frie
friends.
A knock on the door interrupted Astrid’s reminiscing. She put down the things in her hands and opened the door to see actress
Lydia standing there, “Hello, what’s the
matter?”
Lydia looked up at the much taller woman, pretending to be affectionate as she passed over some snacks, “Hey Astrid, it’s Lydia.
The lead actors in our troupe are throwing a party tonight. We’re all going. Are you coming too?”
Astrid nodded with a smile, “Sure, what time?”
“Oh, eight o’clock in the evening, I’ll wait for you~” Lydia was, thrilled that Astrid agreed without hesitation.

She turned around and went back to her room, took out her mobile phone and sent a message to a number: “Mr. Studer, come to
the resort hotel next to our production team tonight, and I will introduce you to a stunning beauty.”
Mr. Studer: “Oh? Are you going to introduce yourself to me?”
Thinking of Mr. Studer’s greasy, chubby face, Lydia felt disgusted. She scoffed and replied, “Not me, a friend of mine is
interested in your investment project. She’s top–notch in looks and figure, won’t disappoint. I’ve prepared a hotel room for you.”
Mr. Studer: “Alright, I’ll be there on time tonight.”
Lydia closed the chat with Mr. Studer and contacted an entertainment reporter, telling the reporter to be at the hotel on time.
Once everything was set, Lydia was in high spirits. She poured a glass of red wine and enjoyed the breeze on the balcony, as if
she could see Astrid’s miserable future. In another room, Astrid was engrossed in reading her script.
Half an hour later, there was another knock on the door. When she opened the door, Jon was sweating profusely, dragging a
large suitcase, leaning his hands against the wall, looking exhausted. Astrid stood in the doorway, folded his hands on his chest,
and said mockingly, “Jon, you’re too weak, are you so tired just moving a computer?”
