Chapter 13
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 13 âNo matter how much I stuff myself, I never gain weight. And I plan on keeping it that way. Astrid said confidently, munching on a generous portion of meat. Her phone buzzed again it was a message from Chad Chad. Chief, the chairman of Tomate Live just gave me a ring Heâs asking if youâre really not renewing the contract and putting your live streaming on hold.â] Astrid. âDidnât I make that clear before?â]
Chad. âYouâre their top gamer You leaving would be a massive blow for them. Itâs no wonder heâs trying to personally persuade you to stay. Heâs upped the signing bonus to ten million dollars.â]
Chad. A ton of streaming platforms have heard about your contract ending and theyâre all eager to sign you. Theyâre offering serious cash.â]
Astrid. Itâs just ten millionâ]
Chad read the message and knew instantly that Astrid wasnât planning on renewing her contract Chief might not have cared about the money, but he sure did!
Astrid didnât show her face while streaming only her hands, and she used a voice changer. No one knew who she really was. Could he Impersonate her?
Before Chad could daydream any further, Astrid messaged him again, [âDonât even think about tarnishing my reputation with your crazy Ideas. I might not be streaming now but I might return in a few years.â] Chad thought to himself, it was just a thought. He wouldnât actually impersonate Chief.
But ten million dollars! Oh, the agony of all that money flying away! It was so painful, Chad could hardly breathe.
Chad Okay, Chief Ill handle everything with them.â]
After sending the message, his heart ached even more.
Meanwhile, Elio was at work and couldnât seem to focus. For some reason, he kept thinking about Astridâs face Just then, his friend Orion messaged him, [âElio, thereâs a singles party tomorrow. Wanna come?â
Elio. [Not interested.â]
Onion, [âCome on, all you do is work. Whatâs the point of earning all that money if you canât relax? Itâs a pool party.â]
Orion, [âIf you donât start socializing with women, youâll die a lonely man.â]
Elio, [âI wonât die lonely. Iâve got a target in mind.â]
The next second, Orion was calling him, but Ello ruthlessly hung up and put his phone aside. The fact that he kept thinking about her could only mean one thing. He had feelings for her. And now that he had feelings, he had to act.
He was a man of action.
Previously, Carson had sent him a file on Astrid, complete with her address and phone number.
Taking out his phone, he opened WhatsApp and Input Astridâs number.
Clicked search.
But it came up blank. Her account wasnât linked to her number.
Looks like heâd have to go see Roman.
Heading downstairs, he found Roman engrossed in a toy.
*Roman, give me your phone, Elio said bluntly.
âNo.â Roman replied without looking up.
Elio, âAre you still in touch with the girl you added as a friend last time?â
âYeah,â Roman nodded, âAre you trying to woo her?â
Woo?
Elio frowned, âNonsense.â
Where did he learn that word?
Just as he was figuring out how to approach Roman, Carson called, âBoss, there was a fire on Rusty Road in the north of the city. Thatâs where Astrid lives!â
Upon hearing this, Elio turned to Roman, âHer place caught fire. Want to go check it out?â
