Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 327
Seeing Elio rushed towards her, Astrid’s eyes twinkled as she took a step forward, wrapping her arms around Elio’s neck.
She hugged him, she turned around and sat on Elio’s lap, “You can also help me if you want, but I don’t like to be passive, I like
to be active.” Looking at her smiling eyes, Elio chuckled, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, darling”
No sooner had he said that than he lay down on the bed.
Astrid leaned forward slightly, her hair loosely falling down Turning off the bedside lamp, she whispered into his ear, “Close your
eyes.”
Her voice was soft and seductive
Elio gently closed his eyes cooperatively. A faint rustling sound from the bedside drawer made Elio sense something was off.
He opened his eyes, and Astrid had already popped something into his mouth, “Here you go!”
The thing in his mouth melted instantly. Before Elio could react, he had swallowed it, “Astrid, you...”
Before he could finish speaking, Elio’s stomach started hurting.
He immediately realized what he had just swallowed – a laxative!
And it was one made by Astrid herself!
“Hey, Elio, how’s it feel?” Astrid patted Elio’s shoulder, “Enjoy.”
As soon as she finished, Elio had already ran to the bathroom in embarrassment..
After such a trick, Astrid didn’t feel sleepy anymore. She lay on the bed playing on her phone, listening to Elio bustling in the
bathroom, repeatedly shouting, “Élio, close the door gently, you’re gonna break my bathroom door!”
“Elio, you okay in there?”
“Elio, how’s my secret recipe? Feels good, huh?”
Elio was speechless.

Hearing Astrid’s arrogant laughter, Elio was livid.
He wanted to storm into the room and confront her, but as he reached the door, his stomach started hurting again.
The he had to run to the bathroom again!
In the middle of the night, Elio was dehydrated from the runs and fell asleep groggily on the couch.
u’re awake. Here, have some soup.”
The next day he woke up to a delicious smell. Opening his eyes, he saw Astrid holding a bowl of soup, smiling sweetly at him,
“Elio,
io, you’re Recalling what happened last night, Elio was a little afraid of the soup in Astrid’s hand, wondering if she would add
anything to it, “No, I have to get to the office.” He tried to be up from the couch, but was too weak and fell back down.
“Relax, it’s just ordinary soup. No poison. You’ve been running to the bathroom all night, you need to replenish your energy. You
won’t even make it out the door let alone to work,” Astrid said, placing the soup on the table in front of him, “I have to catch a
flight.”
Her phone vibrated a few times. It was Gracie telling her to hurry to the airport.
As she reached the door and opened it, she saw Carson with his hand raised, about to knock;
Carson asked, “Ms. Irvine, is my boss awake? We have a board meeting today, he might be late.”
Astrid responded, “He’s too exhausted to get up, he won’t make it to work today. You can take care of him. I have to leave now.”
