Chapter 250
Lamont felt a bit awkward when he spotted Elio. "Sorry, Mr. Lampard, I heard a loud noise and thought something happened to you, so I unlocked your door. I'll get you a new lock." "Hmm." Elio nodded, expressionless, and walked straight into his room.
Lamont felt a cold breeze blow past him, making him shiver involuntarily. Elio really had a strong aura.
This guy was no pushover.
The next morning, Astrid dropped Roman off at Amanda's. He refused to let her go and clung to her like a little octopus. "Mom, I want to go to work with you I can be your assistant!" Upon hearing this, Gracie's lips twitched. "You're trying to steal my job?"
"Hmph." Roman mumbled unhappily, only letting go after Astrid promised to pick him up as soon as she finished work.
On the road, noticing Astrid continuously yawning, Gracie asked, "Hey, Astrid, did you pull an all-nighter doing something shady?"
"No, someone upstairs was throwing a party. I couldn't get a good night's sleep." Astrid yawned again, then asked, "By the way, do we have a hectic schedule coming up?"
1 checked this morning; it's pretty packed. We have two interviews today." Gracie replied, grinning smugly, "Looks like our Astrid is about to become a big star. Your first show got such rave reviews. By the way I hope you can change your Twitter name. Is the current one suitable for a female star?" Astrid lazily glanced at her. "You don't get it. That's just my style."
"I'm just telling you. If you don't change it to your name, I will." Gracie began to nag, giving Astrid a headache.
Pulling out her phone, Astrid logged into Twitter and changed her name to 'Astrid.'
Astrid frowned unhappily as she looked at her new name. This Twitter name was totally bland.
Gracie asked, "Are you sure you want to meet the director by yourself? Shouldn't we wait for Dale?" Astrid shook her head. "No need; I can handle it."
Gracie was still a little worried, but seeing Astrid's confidence, she didn't say anything more.
When they arrived at the office, the person they were supposed to meet was already waiting..
With half an hour to spare before the scheduled time, Astrid didn't expect the other party to be so early. She walked over smiling, "Hello, sorry for keeping you waiting."
The man was impressed with Astrid's humility. Although Astrid was not a very famous star, she was a well-known figure in the magic circle. "You're not late; I'm early. Let's get started." Astrid smiled, "Sure."
While Astrid and the man were discussing the project in the VIP room, Gracie waited outside. She couldn't help with such matters and was afraid she might say something wrong, so she didn't go in. "Hey, what are you doing here?" A woman's voice startled Gracie.
Turning around, she saw Tania.
Tania was a star at Starlight Entertainment. She and Fannie used to compete for the top spot at Starlight, but now that Fannie had left, Tania was enjoying the spoils.
This was Gracie's second time meeting Tania. They didn't know each other well, so Gracie politely replied, "Oh, the party's director is here to meet Astrid; I'm waiting for her."
"Oh?" Tania lit a cigarette nonchalantly, "These days, even nobodies can attend such parties."
Gracie fell silent.
If it weren't for fear of causing trouble for Astrid, Gracie would've lost her temper.
