Love in the Limelight

“Astrid, Astrid, you’re on!” Gracie gave Astrid a tug, “Everyone’s waiting for you.”
“Got it.” Astrid nodded and went over.
This time, Astrid was performing a magic trick, so it was just a quick walk-on for her.
“Good, keep an eye on the lighting...” the director on the set was constantly commanding through his microphone, everything
was in good order.
Suddenly, a spotlight from above the stage fell!
Gracie immediately rushed towards the stage, but it was too far, she couldn’t make it in time, she could only shout, “Astrid, watch
out, move!”
Astrid noticed the anomaly and quickly dodged to the side.
Meanwhile, the stage light smashed directly onto the spot where she had just been standing, the light was shattered, glass
shards scattered everywhere.
A few staff members were scratched by the shards, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air.
The studio was in chaos!
“Astrid, are you okay?”
“Astrid, Astrid!” Gracie, pale-faced, rushed over to Astrid, only letting out a sigh of relief when she confirmed that Astrid wasn’t
injured.

Astrid grabbed Gracie’s hand, her hand was ice-cold, “Gracie, don’t be scared.”
“Director, what was that about? If it wasn’t for Astrid’s quick reaction and dodging, the consequences would have been
unthinkable!” Gracie usually watches her words and actions, afraid of affecting Astrid’s image.
But she couldn’t hold it back this time.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been hit directly!
The light must have been at least a dozen pounds, something that big falling on your head could be lethal!
The director was also sweating bullets, after all, if something happened to Astrid on his watch, Elio would never let him off the
hook.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Irvine, I’m truly sorry!” His apology seemed rather shallow at this time, but apart from apologizing, he could do
nothing else, “It was an accident, we checked all the props and set design before the rehearsal, someone must have been
slacking off. Ms. Irvine, rest assured, I will find out who it was, I owe you an explanation!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join

Astrid looked at the director who was sweating profusely, and gently curled her lips, “It’s okay, director. I have to go, see you
later.”
The director didn’t expect Astrid to not hold a grudge, so he quickly said, “Okay, see you...”
Just out of the studio, Gracie couldn’t hold it in, “Astrid, someone must be trying to harm you! Why else would the light not fall
during others’ rehearsal, but fall during yours?”

“And it fell exactly where you were standing!”
“Aren’t you afraid of more dangers coming during the actual recording if you don’t find out who it is?”
Astrid glanced at Gracie and said quietly, “Gracie, I understand what you’re saying, and I have no intention of letting that person
off the hook.”
“Then...” Gracie paused for a moment, then leaned in whispering, “The person who dared to hurt you in the TV station must
have a strong background. We’re only two people now, should we go back and get more people before we deal with him?”
“No need.” Astrid extended her finger and lightly touched Gracie’s chin, “I alone am enough to deal with them.”
“Did I scare you just now?”
