Chapter 202
"Sister's Life Journey" is a live-stream show that spills the beans on the real lives of female celebrities. The cameras run non-stop for 48 hours over the weekend, so what you see is as real as it gets. This was way more thrilling than those pre-recorded shows because unpredictable shenanigans always happened.
Therefore, this show had always been the hot potato among all the variety shows.
On Friday morning, Astrid had just woken up to find Roman Lampard sitting next to her, staring at her with his big eyes.
She yawned, rolled over, and asked, "Roman, why are you staring at me?"
Roman gave a sweet smile, "I want to feast my eyes on your drop-dead gorgeous looks."
"Ha-ha, Roman, you sure know how to sweet-talk." Astrid pulled Roman into her arms, "Come, let's hit the hay for a bit more."
"Sure." Roman snuggled into Astrid's arms, "do you want me to sing you a lullaby?"
"No need." Astrid kissed Roman's forehead, "I have to go to work tomorrow and can't keep you company; you need to go back home with your dad."
"Oh." Roman seemed a bit down, "I will miss your hugs; being with Elio is a total drag."
Astrid nodded in agreement. "True, he's such a wet blanket."
"And he's got a bad temper."
"Right, he's as stubborn as a mule."
"Also..."
As they were having a whale of a time gossiping in bed, the bedroom door was opened.
Astrid and Roman on the bed instantly played possum once they saw Elio at the door.
Elio barely twitched a smile, pretended not to notice, then gently closed the door.
At dinner, Chad texted. "Chief, Fannie contacted the hypnotist, Laws; she might pull a fast one in the live-stream tomorrow."
"I'm already hip to that." Astrid replied.
"Holy cow, you knew, and you're still going?"
"You have no idea how tough I am."

." Chad struggled to find a response.
"Remember to watch the live-stream tomorrow and throw in some comments singing my praises."
"Sure thing, I will root for you."
Astrid's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the message. The show was about to start.
The netizens all thought she and Fannie were buddies, so she had to bring a gift to Fannie's place.
After buying some fruits, Astrid strolled leisurely towards Fannie's place.
She rang the doorbell, and before long, Fannie came to open the door. Fannie immediately gave her a warm hug upon seeing her, "You're here; come on in."
"OMG, Astrid is really here!!!"
"But I saw the news online that they're just friends for show; they don't interact on social media; they're totally fair-weather friends!"
"Gosh, Astrid is so beautiful and all-natural; even the tiny pimple on her face is clear as day!"
"I'm so into you like a mouse loves rice!"
"My god! I can't believe my eyes!"
Astrid walked into the living room with a big smile and saw the man sitting on the sofa.
Fannie hurriedly introduced, "Astrid, this is my family member."
"Hello, I'm Astrid." Astrid chuckled internally. Family? Isn't this the hypnotist?
She and Fannie didn't really have much in common. They couldn't keep the conversation going after they awkwardly chatted for a while.
She excused herself to get some snacks and left the living room.
At this moment, Laws on the sofa changed his position, turning his back to the camera.
These cameramen were long bought off by Fannie, naturally knowing what angle to switch to.
Astrid, feeling bored, suddenly perked up. Is it starting?
She was curious to see what this guy was really capable of.
Astrid was enjoying the watermelon Fannie brought over, looking very comfortable.
A few seconds later, the man took out a chain and swung it in front of Astrid's eyes.
Fannie was in the kitchen, constantly peeking towards the living room. Despite only waiting for a few seconds, Fannie felt like time was dragging. Just then, the chain in Laws' hand clinked and fell to the ground.
