Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio) novel Chapter 457

The chilly voice of Elio echoed in her ear. The moment Astrid opened her eyes, she met Elio's smiling gaze. Their distance was so close, his breath lightly brushing her ear, making her feel... somewhat shy. The atmosphere in the car subtly shifted.

After what felt like an eternity, Astrid softly said, "You haven't brushed your teeth yet, stay away from me."

Elio was speechless.

"Alright," he then said.

Feeling rejected, Mr. Lampard straightened up and started the car.

At the office, seeing Astrid's state, Gracie immediately started to tease, "Jeez, Astrid, are you alright? Did you go robbing houses last night?"

"I didn't sleep well," Astrid yawned and collapsed on the couch, lacking any grace.

Gracie said, "But you texted me last night saying you were safe, why didn't you sleep?"

"Is it because Lucas didn't get cured? Or did you have a hot night with Mr. Lampard?"

"Shush," Astrid glared at Gracie, "What's going on in your head? Hot night? Why don't you go have one with my brother?"

"That's different! You and Elio have a kid together, so a hot night for you guys is rekindling, but your brother and I are still in the early stages. We haven't even held hands!"

Astrid was speechless.

"Comment?" Astrid yawned again, "We've said what we had to say during the live stream, there's nothing to comment."

"But you losing a few endorsements because of your baby is quite a pity, especially since two of them were international brands." Gracie pouted, "You should make Elio compensate you."

Astrid said, "I can get the endorsements I want. I don't need his compensation."

"Well, you might not have a say in this." Gracie stared at her phone, then theatrically cleared her throat, "Ahem, breaking news, Morgenster Corporation's CEO Elio, in order to compensate for his beloved Astrid, purchased a billion-dollar property in Crescent Bay, planning to build a water park named 'Beloved Astrid."

"Morgenster Corporation's new project, a high-end dessert chain store, officially opens, named [Beloved Astrid]".
