Chapter 138
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 138 Gracie, sitting in the passenger seat, nervously swallowed and tugged at her hair before gently pulling at Astridâs sleeve. âAstrid, this is...?â
âThis is my brother.â Astrid pulled Gracie in front of her, âBro, this is Gracie, my friend.ââ
Gracie was fixated on Rickon, seemingly captivated by his appearance.
âHello.â Rickon nodded at Astrid, then said quietly, âIâve found a better place for you to stay, your crewâs accommodation is crap and itâs not safe either.â âOkay.â Astrid obediently nodded, âYouâre not leaving again, are you?â
âNo, Iâll stick around for a few days until your opening ceremony is over, then you can come find me.â Rickon said, pulling out a card from his pocket, âThis is for you, let me know if you run out of cash.â
Astrid pushed the card back, âBro, Iâve got money.â
âThis is for you, take it. And spend it fast, or Iâll be pissed.â Rickon said before getting into his car. He started the engine and then asked, âHas anyone been messing with you lately?â
Astrid shook her head, âNo.â
âThatâs good.â Rickon said before stepping on the gas and driving off.
Rickon isnât a big talker, and he has his own way of showing he cares, but he really does love his little sister.
Gracie finally snapped out of her trance, âAstrid, that was your brother? Youâve never mentioned having a brother before, whereâd he come from?â
âYou never asked.â Astrid replied, then said, âWe better get going or weâre gonna be late.â
âHoly smokes, heâs so hot...â Gracie exclaimed, âI shouldâve asked for his contact. Astrid, do you have his number? Give it to me, Iâll make the first move!â
âAlright, alright, Iâll give it to you later, can we head to the opening ceremony now?â Astrid reluctantly agreed before dragging Gracie away.
Meanwhile, at the presidentâs office of the Lampard Group, Elio was working when his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the screen, it was an unknown number.
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
ï¤Chapter 137 He hesitated for a moment before answering, âHello?â
There was a pause on the other end of the line before a manâs voice asked, âAre you Elio?â
Elio: âYes.â
The man: âIâm her brother, I heard youâre pursuing my sister? I disapprove.â
Elio was speechless.
He had met Astridâs twoâbrothers, they knew about his pursuit of Astrid, but they had not explicitly objected.
But this brother, straight up calling to say he disapproves...
Elio: âCan I ask why?â
Rickon: âI just disapprove, no reason needed.â
With that, Rickon hung up.
Elio raised an eyebrow and began digging up information on this brother.
Astridâs father had never publicly disclosed information about his children, so he couldnât find any online. But he was confident he could find something if he looked hard enough.
His fingers rapidly tapped at the keyboard when there was a knock at the door.
Elio: âCome in.â
Carson: âChief, there was a mysterious man at the airport today who picked up Ms. Irvine.â
âA mysterious man?â Elioâs fingers paused, âDid we figure out who it was?â
Carson: âHeâs one of the top ten racing drivers in the world, Rickon.â
