Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio) novel Chapter 512

[I know what you mean," said one audience. "It's more like... I can't quite put my finger on it!]

[Do you reckon Nathan could be Astrid's brother?]

[Pfft, Nathan with a sister? His profile says he's an only child. Astrid sure knows how to stir the pot. She's calling him 'Bro Nathan' like they're best buds.]

[You got something to say? Have you ever seen how Nathan treats Astrid? Is it our Astrid who's seeking the limelight?]

[I swear some people just can't stand to see Astrid do well. They've got to come with their snide remarks. Our Astrid gets fans because of her talent, not about throwing shade like some folks I know!]

There was tension in some comments.

The debate between Astrid's fans and haters was heating up in the comments. Suddenly, in the middle of the group, Karin stumbled and nearly fell forward.

Naylor, quick as lightning, caught her in the nick of time.

Karin was flushed and wasn't feeling well. "Why didn't you say you were sick?" Naylor scolded.

Biting her lip, Karin murmured, "I didn't want to slow everyone down. Besides, the cold weather makes the fever feel better, you know?"

Watching Karin's frail figure, a wave of sympathy rose among some of the online crowd. [Now that's what I call ladylike. Unlike Astrid, who's practically Superman in disguise, making the men feel emasculated.]

[Karin's so sweet and considerate. A real team player, way better than Joana ever was.]
