Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 32
Astrid found herself drawn to Elio.
Elio was secretly thrilled She was falling for him.
Now, he should seize the moment.
With that in mind, Ello abruptly changed his demeanor, his smile fading. “Ms. Irvine, you should know how I treat women who
land in
Astrid “I know, I know, for the love of Roman, could you cut me some slack just this once? Please don’t do anything!”
Astrid shot Elio a sidelong glance, “It’s not that I’m scared of you. It’s just, we should always leave room for future dealings,
right?”
my bed.”
Ello watched her proud stance, a sparkle in his eyes, “If you want me to do nothing, I can do that, as long as you promise to take
care of Roman when you can. Then I’ll forget what happened tonight.”
That way, he’d have a legitimate reason to see her in the future.
Astrid didn’t realize Ello was setting a trap. The moment she heard it was just about taking care of Roman, she instantly agreed:
“Ok, no problem, I promise. But you can’t back out, deal?”
With that said, Astrid suddenly remembered something, rushed out of the room, and ran back In a few seconds later with her
phone, telling Ello, “Repeat what you just said.”
Elio found her seriousness amusing. He couldn’t help but soften his gaze, repeating: “As long as Astrid’promises to take care of
Roman for the rest of her life, then I will forgive her for breaking into my bed tonight, and won’t pursue any future Instances of her
doing so...”
“Wait.” Astrid felt something was off, “What do you mean you won’t pursue any future Instances of me breaking Into your bed?
There won’t be a next time, absolutely no chance!”
Watching Astrid storm out of the room, Ello suppressed a chuckle. Astrid could be adorably naive sometimes.

As for a next time, it wasn’t up to her.
She was someone he had to have..
Astrid returned to her room cautiously but couldn’t bring herself to sleep.
She was afrald she might end up in Ello’s room again, so she stayed up all night playing games.
The next day, she got up early to go to work, feeling like she was floating due to lack of sleep.
Everyone in the crew was very friendly and didn’t treat her differently because she was new.
When she arrived at the studio, the director of photography was taken aback, “Todd, her presence, her figure, her beauty, we
haven’t seen someone like her in years. I bet once her makeup photos come out, she’ll become an instant trend.”
Upon hearing this, Todd broke into a grin, “I hope you’re right.”
During the shopt, the photographer kept praising Astrid’s beauty, much to the leading lady Joana’s chagrin.
Astrid’s performance was excellent, so the shoot ended quickly.
After signing her contract, she changed into comfortable clothes, ready to head home. But on her way out, she ran Into Fannie, a
woman she despised.
Thinking of the past, Astrid clenched her fists, her body turning cold.
T
Four and a half years ago, she had gotten drunk, but she was still conscious. She only passed out after having a glass of water
at Fannie’s house. When she woke up, she found herself on a hotel bed. Fannie was also taken aback at Astrid’s appearance.
She walked over to Astrid, smiling as she tried to hold her hand, “Astrid, it’s been years, you’ve only grown more beautiful. I
didn’t expect to see you here.”
Astrid stepped back, avoiding Fannie’s hand.
Fannie’s extended hand hung In the alr, and her face flushing with embarrassment, “Astrid, I’ve explained what happened that
night. Why won’t you belleve me? I took you home and Lucinda was supposed to look after you. I was devastated when I heard

what happened.”
“Devastated?” Astrid scoffed, “Don’t give me that ‘sisterly love crap, it makes me sick!”
