Love in the Limelight

Chapter 457

The chilly voice of Eechoed in her ear. The moment Astrid opened her eyes, she met Elio's smiling gaze. Their distance was so

close, his breath lightly brushing her ear, making her feel... somewhat shy. The atmosphere in the car subtly shifted.

After what felt like an eternity, Astrid softly said, "You haven't brushed your teeth yet, stay away from me."

Ewas speechless.

"Alright," he then said.

Feeling rejected, Mr. Lampard straightened up and started the car.

At the office, seeing Astrid's state, Gracie immediately started to tease, "Jeez, Astrid, are you alright? Did you go robbing houses

last night?"

"I didn't sleep well," Astrid yawned and collapsed on the couch, lacking any grace.

Gracie said, "But you textedlast night saying you were safe, why didn't you sleep?"

"Is it because Lucas didn't get cured? Or did you have a hot night with Mr. Lampard?"

"Shush," Astrid glared at Gracie, "What's going on in your head? Hot night? Why don't you go have one with my brother?"

"That's different! You and Ehave a kid together, so a hot night for you guys is rekindling, but your brother and | are still in the

early stages. We haven't even held hands!"

Astrid was speechless.

"Sorry I'm late, Astrid, get up, let's do your makeup!" Selena entered carrying a makeup box, noticing Astrid's pale face she

worriedly commented, "You don't look good, what happened?"

Astrid shook her head and replied, "Nothing."

"Oh, have you seen the news? There was a major car accident near Lake Drive yesterday, the driver burned to ashes when the car

hit the wall!" Selena spoke with increasing enthusiasm, "I heard the driver was drunk, and he almost hit a passing luxury car. But

the surveillance footage is bizarre, just as the SUV was about to hit the luxury car, it swerved and avoided the collision! Netizens

are saying that's not humanly possible!"

Gracie joined the discussion, "I saw that too, honestly, that luxury car's driver isn't human, if it were me, the one turned to ashes

would beand my car."

As the two of them passionately discussed, Astrid remembered how Ewas drifting the car last night.

She had to admit, the guy did have his moments.

Gracie continued, "By the way, Astrid, the news of you and Mr. Lampard having a baby has been trending for a while. Aren't you

two going to comment?"

"Comment?" Astrid yawned again, "We've said what we had to say during the live stream, there's nothing to comment."

"But you losing a few endorsements because of your baby is quite a pity, especially since two of them were international brands."

Gracie pouted, "You should make Ecompensate you."

Astrid said, "I can get the endorsements | want. | don't need his compensation."

"Well, you might not have a say in this." Gracie stared at her phone, then theatrically cleared her throat, "Ahem, breaking news,

Morgenster Corporation's CEO Elio, in order to compensate for his beloved Astrid, purchased a billion-dollar property in Crescent

Bay, planning to build a water park named 'Beloved Astrid."

"Morgenster Corporation's new project, a high-end dessert chain store, officially opens, named [Beloved Astrid]".
