Chapter 200
Teresa smiled and said, "No one knows me now; being unknown is the best camouflage!"
"Didn't expect to see you again so soon; I'm so stoked!"
Astrid Irvine brushed her slightly messy hair and chuckled, "Being unknown now doesn't mean it'll last forever; better watch out, or you might get played."
"Got it, let's go in; the party's about to start." Teresa looped her arm through Astrid's, and they walked forward. Before they could find their seats, they spotted a familiar face. Teresa looked at Fannie Santos not far away, "Astrid, why is Fannie always picking on you? Is it because she's Into Mr. Lampard but he's into you?"
"It's not that simple. Here's your seat; sit down; I'll be back." Astrid patted Teresa's head and made her sit down.
Teresa was bummed; she really wanted to sit with Astrid.
The organizers probably wanted to stir things up because Fannie's seat was right next to Astrid's.
There was still some time before the party started, and as soon as she sat down, a reporter came over for an interview.
Fannie was originally expressionless, but when the reporter came over, she immediately put on a smile.
"Ms. Santos, we heard that you're going to be in an international movie; is it true?" Asked the reporter.
Fannie smiled. "Of course it's true."
"Wow, congratulations! The reality TV show you're on, Sister's Life Journey, is also a hit. The next episode's theme is a [Friends visit], have you decided who you're gonna invite?" Fannie paused before leaning towards Astrid, "Of course it's gonna be Astrid."
Astrid, who was playing a game, suddenly felt something leaning towards her. She turned her head and saw Fannie's head on her shoulder!
...
What?
Is she nuts?!
If it weren't for the cameras, Astrid would have shouted, "Don't touch me!"
"Ms. Irvine, we remember in a magic TV show, Ms. Santos invited your apprentice as a secret guest just to surprise you. Now that you're going to be a guest on her show, are you going to surprise her in return?"
Surprise?
More like a scare.
She was just worried about not having a chance to question Fannie about what happened years ago, and now she's willingly offering the opportunity.
Astrid replied. "If I told you the surprise, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore."
"We heard that the show also invited you at first, but your agent declined it. Now that the show's such a hit, do you feel regret?" The reporter asked.
"Not at all; the show is a hit because of Fannie's star power. If I went, who knows how much it would've tanked."
All of Astrid's responses were spot on. The reporter interviewed Fannie for a while and then left.
Fannie didn't expect Astrid to play along, so she turned to her and said, "Astrid, I know my brother told you about what happened. I admit I was wrong and I'm sorry. I wanted that opportunity so badly that I used you."
"Astrid didn't even bother to look up at her.
After a while, Fannie said again, "Seeing your success now, I'm truly happy for you."
