Chapter 12

Seeing Astrid so chill, Gracie got antsy. They’re really gonna marry you off to that blockhead? How

come you’re not worried at all?”

“That’s their problem. None of my business!” Astrid did care, and she knew worrying wouldn’t help.

She didn’t believe that mother–daughter duo could force her into manlage Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Haha, Astrid, you’re something else. Let’s go. Fill treat you to some barbecuel Gracie sald, and with a

shared laugh, they headed out.

Just as they reached the BBQ joint, Astrid received a text. [‘Chief, I’ve fixed the character issue for you.

Take care of yourself, don’t let people take advantage of you!“]

Astrid. [‘Cut the crap, you want me to dock your pay?“]

Chad,[“Chief, that wasn’t me, someone else used my phone! If you’re gonna dock someone’s pay, dock

theirs“]

Astrid slightly furrowed her brows, and after a while, a message from the director came in, “Astrid, this

is Todd. After careful consideration, I think this role suits you well. Monday morning at 10, please come

to the company for the costume fitting.”

Chad was typically reliable

She was about to start filming, which meant she couldn’t work at the company anymore, so she needed

to tell Gracle.

“Gracie, I’m about to start filming!” Astrid announced triumphantly.

Gracie replied calmly. “I might not be in the entertainment Industry, but I know the traps. Don’t count

your chickens before they hatch. You might even get replaced after an announcement, or have your

scenes cut after filming!”

“Alright, can’t you have a little faith in me?” Astrid grumbled, getting a little excited, “Gracle, want me to

autograph something for you now? When I get famous, It’ll be worth something.”

Gracie slapped the table, “If you make it big, I’ll be your manager. We’ll split the profits.”

“Deal!” The two girls clinked their glasses and smiled.

An excited Astrid quickly posted a status on WhatsApp. “Audition passed, let’s go.” She had finally

taken the first step, so she was really happy.

As soon as she posted the message, people started liking and commenting. She clicked to see who it

was, and it was Roman.

Thinking of him, Astrid cracked a small smile.

Gracie took a sip of her drink and suddenly remembered something a friend from the police station told

her a few days ago. She patted Astrid’s hand, “Astrid, my friend told me you returned another lost child

to the police station. When will you stop doing this? Remember when you returned that lost girl and the

parents accused you of kidnapping her?”

Astrid’s gaze turned a bit melancholic.

“Astrid, it’s been over three years, you… Gracle couldn’t help but stop there. Three years ago, Astrid’s

child was stolen from the hospital.

At that time, Astrid was on the verge of collapse. Four days after her C–section, she braved the rain to

look for her child, and now she was left with persistent health issues. Ever since then, she had been

extra attentive to lost children.

On the surface, it seemed like she had recovered, but Gracie knew that Astrid hadn’t forgotten her

child.

“Let’s drop it, just eat…” Gracie couldn’t help but said to Astrid in the end, continuously adding meat to

Astrid’s plate, “Cherish these days when you can eat freely. When you officially debut, you’ll need to

control your diet You’ll probably eat salads every day.”
