Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 255

Seeing Elio, he quickly walked over, showing great respect: “Mr. Lampard, I was just about to go down

and meet you.”

“No worries, let’s get down to business.” Elio nodded at Zack, and they walked into the office.

Every year, the gala was extremely grand, with big names gathered. This year’s line–up was even

stronger than last year’s, as some international big names from overseas were also invited.

Astrid slipped into her performance outfit, and took a seat in the VIP star–watching section to catch the

show.

Dale was worried that she wouldn’t be able to resist picking on Elio if she saw him, so he sat with her NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

the whole time.

At these parties, other than professional singers belting out live, the rest of the performers were fake.

So, whenever these kinds of parties rolled around, the lipsyncers always ended up trending online.

The party lasted for several hours, and her performance slot was still a ways off. Sitting in her chair,

she started to doze off.

“Hey, Astar!” A familiar voice rang out from behind her. Astrid’s eyes popped open to see Teresa’s big

eyes. “Astar, why are you dressed so skimpy? It’s getting chilly outside.”

Teresa, with a concerned look, draped her own jacket over Astrid. “I’m fat, I’m not afraid of cold. Just

take off the jacket before your performance.” “How’ve you been?” Astrid always felt better seeing

Teresa.

“Good, just missing you a lot. But I feel awkward reaching out to you.” Teresa pouted, looking unhappy.

“My manager keeps telling me not to hang around you too much, says netizens might start suspecting

my sexual orientation.”

“Haha…” Astrid couldn’t help but laugh. “Your manager’s concerns aren’t unreasonable, you…”

“Ms. Irvine!” A staff member rushed over. Seeing his expression, Astrid knew something was wrong.

Astrid: “What happened?”

Man: “Sorry, I just checked the props you were going to use, and someone poured sulfuric acid on

them. They’re all corroded!”

“Sulfuric acid?” Teresa was shaking with fear all over. “Who dares to harm Astar? Are they tired of

living?”

“It’s okay.” Astrid comforted Teresa with a pat, then checked the time and the schedule. There were

only two shows before she was on stage.

It’s too late to prepare things again now. The things she needed were all special materials, all custom–

made, and couldn’t be found on short notice.

That show couldn’t have done its best without those props. This was a live broadcast…there must be

no mistakes.

Someone had deliberately ruined her props, just to keep her form performing.

Did they really think she could only perform magic tricks?

Too naive.

“I’ll just switch my act.” Astrid got up and left.

Seeing Astrid’s worried look, a smug smile crept onto Tania’s face.

A stunning performance?

Without your magic tools, I’m really curious to see how you plan to grab everyone’s attention.

Tania was up before Astrid, and although Tania wasn’t a professional singer, she had a good voice,

especially unique, and coupled with the stage effects, she received a round of applause at the end of

her performance.

Lots of people were praising her in the comments section, too.

“I always thought Tania had plastic surgery before, but today’s makeup made me suddenly see her

beauty!”
