Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 251
There’s a designated smoking area in the hallway, but Tania didn’t bother using it; she just smoked next to Gracie. Gracie was
pretty pissed, but she kept her mouth shut.
After a while, Tania turned to Gracie and said, “I heard Astrid’s with Mr. Lampard now; is that true?”
“I have no idea.”
“Figures, how would you know? You call yourself an assistant, but you’re just a gofer,” Tania smirked, “Get me a cup of coffee.”
Gracie glared at her.
But she saw nothing but scorn in Tania’s eyes.
Gracie’s always had a fiery temper, and if Tania hadn’t been so snarky, she wouldn’t have minded fetching her a cup of coffee.
But it was clear this woman looked down on her.
Just then, the door to the meeting room opened, and out came Astrid and Zack, all with smiles.
“Ms. Irvine, I’m really looking forward to your creative performance; it’s going to blow the audience away. I can see myself out; no
need to walk me.” Zack
said.
“Miss, I didn’t expect to see you here; what a pleasant surprise.” Zack’s tone warmed up noticeably when he spotted Tania, “My
new project really needs you as the leading lady; won’t you reconsider?”
Tania smiled, “Zack, it’s an honor to be in your play, but my agent handles all my work. I always follow his advice. Why don’t you
talk to him again? I’d love to work with you.”
“Alright, I’ll talk to him again. I’ll be off now; goodbye.” Zack sensed Tania was blowing him off, so he didn’t push it and left.
Once Zack was gone, Tania smirked, put out her cigarette in the trash can, and walked over to Astrid, “Astrid, I heard you’re set
to take my place in a few years. What do you think?”
Astrid raised an eyebrow and nodded, “They’re right.”

Tania was dumbfounded.
She was taken aback by Astrid’s blunt response and was at a loss for words.
She was, after all, a senior at the company, and Astrid was being incredibly disrespectful!
“We have other things to get to, goodbye.” Astrid said, pulling Gracie along with her.
As they walked away, Gracie started venting, “Astrid, that woman is insufferable! She’s always so condescending, calling me a
gofer, trying to drive at wedge between us!”
“I’m sorry you had to put up with that, Gracie.” Astrid knew Gracie well; she would’ve told Tania off if not for her.
Astrid took out her phone and sent Gracie a big bonus for ‘consolation‘.
“Oh wow, haha! Who knew a little suffering could pay off? Maybe I should get insulted more often.” Gracie joked, “By the way,
how’s it going? Is the performance all set?”
Astrid nodded, “Of course, there’s nothing I can’t do once I set my mind to it.”
“You’re the best, Astrid!” Gracie and Astrid chatted and left.
Tania watched their backs and whispered, “Take my place? In your dreams.”
