Chapter 227

Chapter 227 Astrid replied. “I need you guys! You were just gonna vanish if I didn’t send a gift card, huh?” Chad, “I’m gaming, Chief. What’s up?“, Astrid, “I’m in Sunhaven’s central business district. I need all the electronic billboards.”

Hank, “Chief, what are you up to?”

Astrid, “It’s someone’s birthday! I forgot to prepare a gift, so I have to wing it.”

Chad and Hank were speechless.

How could renting all the electronic billboards in the city center be “winging it“?

Do you have any idea how much that’s gonna cost?

There went a ton of cash again.

Most people would have a tough time breathing after seeing that much money go.

Astrid, “The message should read “Happy Birthday, Elio“.”

“You guys have half an hour. No completion, no pay. If you get it done, there’s a bonus.”

Chad replied. “We got it, boss; your wish is our command! We’ll get it done!”

As they approached downtown, Astrid turned her head to look out the window. “Elio, do you want to get off and check out the night view?” Elio had no idea what Astrid was planning, but he was always up for whatever she wanted to do.

Astrid got out of the car with a mask on; the breezy river air was pretty cool.

Across the river, the giant LED screens on the buildings were showing various ads.

The duo walked along the river for a bit, and suddenly all the screens went dark.

A few seconds later, every single screen they could see displayed the message “Happy Birthday, Elio“.

Elio froze. He turned to look at the girl beside him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Passersby were in awe. “Wow, who’s the big spender renting all the billboards to celebrate Mr. Lampard’s birthday?”

“One building’s LED ad costs thousands per second; this is ridiculously extravagant!”

Hearing the praises, Astrid moved closer to Elio and whispered, “Happy Birthday, Elio.”

“Thank you, Astrid.” Elio moved in for a hug, but Astrid sensed his move and stepped back.

“Hey, don’t cross the line, or I’ll punch you!”

“Cross the line?” Elio smirked. “I would never.”

With that, Elio leaned in, quickly pecked Astrid on the lips, and then stood up as if nothing had happened.

Even with the masks on, the touch made Astrid’s heart flutter.

Elio, you cheeky devil!

How dare you sneak a kiss?!

Coming back to her senses, she lifted her foot to kick him.

Seeing this, Elio quickly made a run for it.

They chased each other along the river, running quite a distance.

Elio loved the birthday gift because it showed that she cared for him.

But it also gave him a headache.

Because this birthday celebration method was also in his plans. He originally wanted to do this for Astrid’s birthday. He didn’t expect her to be so bold and rent all the billboards in the city center for half an hour.

What a headache!

But Elio felt a bit better when he thought about the romantic candlelight dinner they would have soon.

They arrived at the restaurant, and just as they stepped in, soft music began playing.

Then Amanda, Matthew, and Roman came out singing “Happy Birthday” and pushing a cake.

Elio really wanted to kick them all out at that moment.

He wanted to have some alone time with Astrid!

It was a romantic candlelight dinner! Why would they come?!

Damn! He really wanted to punch someone!
