Chapter 178
Things got a little awkward in the car.
Soon afterward, Astrid picked up a familiar floral scent in the air. She turned her head towards Elio in
surprise.
Elio caught her gaze and murmured, “Do you know what it is? Let’s get out and see.”
The car stopped.
Astrid got out of the car. Under the faint moonlight, she saw fields of roses. Several small huts were in
the middle of the flower field, with a few giant windmills nearby.
The whole scene looked like something out of a fairy tale..
Oh my god! Wasn’t this the description she once gave Gracie about her dream home?
Gracie had betrayed her again!!
She walked forward and saw a wooden sign in front of a hut: Astrid’s Home.
“You” She turned around to speak, but Elio had already approached.
He smiled and said, “Let’s have dinner first.”
“Okay.” She followed Elio into the hut, and the housekeepers inside retreated with a smile.
Astrid washed her hands and sat down.
The table dishes weren’t exotic delicacies but all her favorites.
Even the décor and ornaments in the hut were all to her liking,
This guy was thoughtful.
She could feel his sincerity.
Astrid enjoyed this meal a lot.
When Elio dropped her back at the set, it was around eleven in the evening.
When she exited the car, Elio asked, “Astrid, did I score any points with you tonight?
Seeing his earnest expression, Astrid raised an eyebrow, “Today’s dinner was decent, and the hut was
also nice; I’ll give you 10 points for your effort, just barely passing.”
Elio chuckled, “Thank you, I’ll work harder to meet your expectations.”
“Sounds good; good night!” Astrid waved at Elio and quickly entered the hotel.
Looking at her retreating behaivour, Elio’s eyes were filled with warmth.
That night, Astrid had numerous dreams.
And they were all over the place.
She felt like she hadn’t slept well all night.
The next day at noon, she was napping in the makeup room when Gracie rushed in, “Astrid, wake up;
you got a 500k fan bonus on Instagram!”
Astrid opened her eyes in confusion, “What bonus?”
“Your 500k Instagram fan bonus! Are you playing dumb?” Gracie rolled her eyes, “Your fans are really
pitiful. Look at your Instagram; you’ve only posted twice since you’ve opened it; it’s basically forgotten.”
“Can’t you at least post a selfie?”
Astrid’s mouth twitched, “Do I have to…”
“Yes, you do. I’ve already promised your fans that you would post a selfie when you hit 500k. Just sit
there; I’ll take the photo for you!” Gracie said, already pointing the camera at Astrid.
“You are so beautiful, and your photo can be posted directly!” Even while saying this, Gracie started
editing the photo.
Astrid yawned, “You know the password; you post it. I don’t want to think about the caption.”
“Okay, no problem!” Gracie opened Twitter, instinctively checked the trending topics, and then was
stunned into silence.
Because one of the trending topics was: #Elio Lampard, CEO of Morgenster Corporation, confesses to
Astrid# This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Gracie clicked on it, and a video appeared on the screen.
Reporter asked, Mr. Lampard, rumors say that Astrid has been clinging to you recently. Is this true?”
Elio responded coldly, “What? I don’t know.”
Gracie couldn’t help but sigh; the Chief’s demeanor was so different when he was with Astrid!
Reporter asked further, “Paparazzi took photos of you and Astrid having dinner alone. Is she clinging to
you? As we all know, you don’t like to be around women.” After pondering for a few seconds, Elio coldly
said, “I’m a fan of hers. It’s my honor that she agreed to have dinner with me.”
“If someone between us is clinging, it would be me. If clinging could get her to agree to have dinner
with me again, I wouldn’t mind being even more persistent.”
“Oh my gosh!” Gracie squealed, startling Astrid awake.
