Love in the Limelight

Carson said, “If you don’t want these photos to be all over the place in the next second, then stop scheming against Astrid.”
Fannie held the photos in her hand, her body shaking uncontrollably.
She didn’t expect Elio to go this far for Astrid!
What’s so great about Astrid?
Was it just because she’s pretty?
“Thanks to Astrid for drawing the lucky prize for our audience. Now let’s enjoy a performance by Astrid and a mystery guest!”
As the words left the host’s mouth, a slightly chubby figure walked out from behind the curtains.
As he came closer, the audience gasped in surprise, “Oh my God, isn’t that Hanson?”
“No one said Hanson was coming! The show’s team really kept this one under wraps!”
“Good Lord, Hanson is a big name in the talk show world, and he hasn’t been on a show in years. He’s actually teamed up with
Astrid this time!”
“He must have come for the performance because of Elio!”
“This is crazy, what kind of talk show performance can a young girl like Astrid pull off? She’s definitely going to ruin Hanson’s
reputation!”
“Astrid is just trying to attract attention, she won’t be able to do a talk show. Our Hanson must have been tricked by Elio!”

Many audience members were skeptical about the unlikely duo, but Astrid seemed at ease.
She quickly walked over to greet Hanson, then cleared her throat and began, “Thanks for the applause, I’m very excited and
nervous to be on this stage.”
Hanson asked, “You get nervous?”
Astrid replied, “Of course, I’m working with a veteran like you, I’m afraid I might drag you down.”
Hanson said, “At least you’re aware of that.”
The atmosphere lightened a bit after a few words.
Astrid said, “Hi everyone, I’m Astrid, a newbie in the talk show world. I guess this guy next to me doesn’t need an introduction,
right?”
Hanson looked at the audience, “Do you know me?”
Audience shouted, “We do!!!”
Hanson proudly said, “See, that’s popularity.”
Astrid said, “You definitely beat me in terms of popularity, but there’s one thing you can’t beat me at.”
Hanson said, “Hey, you’re pretty confident, what’s that?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books

Astrid said, “Friends!”

Hanson slapped the table, “Who is it?”
“This friend of mine is not just anyone!” As soon as Astrid said this, Fannie stiffened.
She knew Astrid was going to retaliate, but she didn’t expect Astrid to hint at it in a talk show!
Hanson said, “Hey, I’m interested to see who this impressive friend is!”
Astrid raised her eyebrows slightly, “Actually, my success today is all thanks to this friend. The more outrageous things she does,
the more popular I become. At first, I was quite upset, but then I realized that she was sacrificing herself to boost my popularity! I
felt sorry for misunderstanding her. I became more and more popular, and then she disappeared.”
Fannie was instantly shocked.
Hanson said, “Hey, do you have more friends like that? People say I’m not popular anymore, I want to be famous again.”
Astrid said, “Sorry, this friend is very biased towards me. Just like during rehearsal earlier, she gave me a big gift that forced me
to give it my all.”
