Chapter 15
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 15 Astrid had dolled herself up a bit for an audition that day, but her outfit was nothing inappropriate. She didnât expect these folks to be so prejudiced against her.
Looking at the weirdos around her, Astrid felt disgusted and shouted, âWatch your mouths! So itâs a crime now to look good? If your men are ogling me, thatâs on you, not me!â âHow dare you talk like that! Have you no manners?â The woman who had accused Astrid of being a temptress was fuming and charged at her.
A fireman quickly Intervened, âMaâam, please calm down.â
She shot back, âAre you all so smitten by her beauty that youâre taking her side?!â
The fireman was taken aback by her Irrationality and looked helpless.
When Elio walked into the old neighborhood with Roman in his arms, this was the scene he walked into. A crowd was pointing and gossiping about her, and she stood there all alone.
His stoic eyes darkened slightly, and he turned to Carson, âFind out what happened with the fire and handle it.â
Carson nodded, âSure, bossâ
Roman started to squirm in Elioâs arms. When Elio set him down, he sprinted towards Astrid and clung to her leg.
Astrid, who was fuming, froze when she saw Roman looking up at her with worry in his eyes.
I Tm fine,â she reassured him, her voice soft, âRoman, did you need something?â
Roman nodded and grabbed her hand, pulling her towards Elio. Astrid looked at the man not far off, her eyes darkening slightly. Maybe Elioâs presence was just too overwhelming. Every time she saw him, she felt uneasy But there was no denying, the man was dropâdead gorgeous, with a charisma that could drive any woman crazy.
P Elio saw the young woman walking towards him and opened the car door, âMs. Irvine, get in.â

Roman answered, âHome!â
Elioâs home?
Thatâs not appropriate. I have ID. I can stay at a hotel,â Astrid quickly declined, her whole being resisting the Idea Elio frowned at her rejection, leaned in, and calmly asked, âAre you afraid of me?â
They were too close. Astrid instinctively wanted to back away.
But Elioâs bodyguard was behind her! She had nowhere to go!
Afraid of him? She just wasnât used to being so close with a guy.
But this man held most of the resources in the entertainment Industry, and crossing him wouldnât do her any good.
So, she said, âMr. Lampard, you may have misunderstood me. Itâs not that Iâm afraid of you, itâs just that Iâm not exactly the trustworthy type. Iâm concerned that if I stayed at your place, I might do something that could damage your reputation.â
Having said that, she thought to herself, âNow that was smart! That should do it, right?â
