Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 53

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would totally think the Roman in front of them was an

imposter.

In his study, Elio was absent–mindedly staring at some documents.

He read it for ten minutes without turning a page. The moment his phone buzzed with a new text, he

immediately straightened up and opened the message.

Carson: “Sir, I’ve checked the script. The role your wife plays doesn’t have any intimate scenes.”

Relief washed over Elio as he read the message, he leaned back in his chair and replied, “Get

everything ready for her to join the crew.”

Carson: “Sure thing, sir.”

Instead of going to his own room to sleep, Elio bunked in the guest room next to Roman and Astrid’s.

He went to the bed and lay down, got up again, and left the door of the guest room open. That night,

Astrid slept soundly in Roman’s arms, without any sleepwalking incidents.

Elio waited until late at night, and finally fell asleep when he couldn’t hold on anymore.

The next morning, Astrid got up early, thinking that Elio said today that he would send her to the set,

she had a headache, because if she appeared on the set in Elio’s car worth tens of millions, the entire

set would definitely be making a fuss. After breakfast, Astrid still felt that Elio could not send her there,

so she said, “Mr. Lampard, I think about it again, I can go to the set by myself, and I don’t need to

bother you.” “I’ve got some urgent business to take care of today anyway. I’ll have my assistant drive

you. Don’t worry, his car is ordinary. No one will suspect you’re being taken care of by a rich guy,” Elio

replied. Astrid was taken aback.

How did he know she was refusing his ride because his car was too expensive?

Elio finished his meal, he picked up a napkin wiped his mouth lightly and said softly. “I’ve prepared

everything the crew needs, and you just need to sort out your underwear. Call me if you need anything

and take care.

His tone was steady and comforting, like a husband reminding his wife before she leaves the house.

Wife?

Astrid was startled by her own thought, she immediately stepped back, creating some distance

between her and Elio. As she was about to leave, Elio stepped forward, catching her hand and softly NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

called out, “Astrid.”

She looked up at him, and the tenderness in his eyes surrounded her instantly..

Elio looked at the girl’s face close at hand, and felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of not being

able to see her for a long time. This girl was like a poppy, addicting once you’ve had a taste.

“Sir, it is time to go… I’m sorry!!!” Carson walked in seeing the door open, not expecting to see the two

lost in each other’s gaze.”” He’d ruined the good atmosphere. His boss was definitely going to be mad

at him!

Carson’s sudden intrusion broke the ambiguous atmosphere between Astrid and Elio, making Astrid

feel awkward. She quickly said, “Um, Mr. Lampard, I’m leaving first!” Astrid avoided Elio’s gaze, her

heart starting to race, this feeling made her little uneasy.

Watching the back of Astrid leaving in a hurry, Elio’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of a smile playing on

his lips.

Three hours later, Astrid arrived at the set.

The parking lot was filled with luxury cars, making Carson’s car look a bit shabby.

Seeing Astrid get out of the car, Joana showed a contemptuous expression, “Why is Astrid arriving in

such a broken car? What happened to the rich guy who once supported her? Is she being abandoned

so soon?” Lydia, an actress in the same group as Joana, immediately echoed, “Probably. Haven’t you

seen the news? Astrid is broke now. She was living in a relocation area before, look at her clothes, they

can’t be worth more than two hundred. Maybe her poor lifestyle turned off the rich guy, so he dumped

her.” Joana stared at Astrid’s beautiful face, a cold smile creeping onto her lips.
