Love in the Limelight

Chapter 349
Joana pondered for a moment, then gathered her courage and dialed Emily’s number again on her phone.
Emily didn’t pick up her calls several times. After a while, Emily called back and Joana hastily answered, “Emily, I need your
help.”
Emily: “Now you are afraid, aren’t you?”
Joana: “I know I messed up.”
Emily: “For starters, you need to apologize on Twitter. I’ll draft a content and send it to you. While your performance was bad,
you at least added something to the show.”
“We signed Maddox for the whole season, Unless you do something totally unacceptable, he won’t replace you on a whim. After
all, variety shows need gossip and attention.”
“But how could you lack even the most basic common sense? Screaming your head off on a snowy mountain, are you out of
your mind or what?” Joana: “...”
Emily gave her a piece of her mind before hanging up. Joana felt a little better.
She opened Twitter and was immediately dumbfounded by the trending hashtags.
#JoanaScreamsOnSnowyMountain#
#Astrid TapesJoana’sMouth#
#AstridAndElio’s SweetMoments#
She always wanted to trend, but she never thought it would be because people were roasting her for being dumb.
There were two other girls her age on the show, they were bound to be compared.
The entire internet was criticizing her, and everyone was singing Astrid’s praises.
Joana was almost in tears, when Emily texted her: “Don’t worry about this season. We will work on improving your performance
gradually. I’ll come up with a strategy for you. Make a stark contrast with your past behavior, and you’ll definitely improve your

image.”
Joana: “Okay.”
After sending the message, Joana let out a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to go to bed, a message from an unknown number popped up: “Hello, Joana, I have a deal I want to talk
to you about..”
Looking at the odd message, Joana furrowed her brows and deleted the text message.
Seconds later, the message came again: “I have some dirt on Astrid that could get her kicked off Adventures in the Abyss. Would
you like to cooperate
with me?”
Astrid could be kicked off the show? Joana was tempted.
She stared at the message for a long time, then typed back: “You need to give me some proof first, so I know you’re not lying.”
A few seconds later, the other party sent a photo.
Seeing the picture, Joana’s hand trembled slightly.
Do it or not.
Standing by the floor–to–ceiling window and looking outside, Joana was hesitant.
On Friday, Astrid got a call from Dale, inviting her to an awards ceremony.
She was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award. Even though it was just a nomination, it was already an affirmation for her,
considering she was just a supporting character in the TV series.
Palmer, on the other hand, was nominated for the Most Popular Male Actor award thanks to his previous blockbuster drama.
Astrid and Palmer didn’t interact much on set, but when she was about to head to J City, Palmer and his assistant unexpectedly
came to her.

They were from the same show, so they could walk the red carpet together.
It wasn’t a big deal, so she agreed.
By the time they arrived in J City, it was already late at night, but there were still many fans waiting for them at the airport.
Astrid soon spotted Elio standing in the crowd wearing a mask.
