Love in the Limelight

“If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t even know I had such nimble moves!”
The audience looked puzzled.
Astrid said, “You guys don’t believe me?”
Audience shouted, “No way!!!”
Hanson shrugged and said, “The public has a keen eye!”
Astrid said, “Well, then I guess I’ll have to prove it!”
As her words fell, footage from the rehearsal appeared on the big screen behind her.
Astrid’s graceful cartwheel right there on the spot took everyone by surprise.
Audience replied, “Oh my god! Was that for the show, or was it an actual accident?”
“Wow, was that cartwheel for real? It looked like she’s got some skill!”
“With everyone backstage looking so panicked, it must be real, right?”
“Was it an accident or was it planned?”
“Did Astrid just turn a real-life event into a stand-up routine? I think she’s talking about Fannie!”
“I think so too. It’s about Fannie.”

“No wonder Fannie looked so upset earlier, she must have known Astrid was coming to reveal the truth.”
“Damn, we should have recorded this, it might get cut from the official broadcast!”
“I got it on tape!”
Fannie was trembling as she watched the big screen, gripping the back of the chair in front of her tightly.
Since Astrid dared to expose this to the public, it meant she had enough evidence to prove herself as the mastermind behind the
scenes!
Quite a few people around her were looking her way.
Fannie hung her head low, wishing she could find a place to hide.
Oh no!
Her chances of turning the situation around were gone.
Astrid glanced at the crowd and said casually, “So, did I lie? Am I not nimble?”
But Hanson said, “We need more evidence to believe you.”
Astrid hadn’t been doing stand-up for long, but she had a good handle on the timing, and she and Hanson were in perfect sync.
It didn’t seem like this was their first time performing together at all.
Even though the video in the middle was quite shocking, the atmosphere in the studio was enlivened again with the interaction
between Astrid and Hanson.

Astrid’s debut stand-up performance was a hit, and her magic show brought the whole evening to a climax.
After the performance, as soon as Astrid returned backstage, Hanson walked over with a smile, “Astrid, are you sure you don’t
want to seriously learn stand-up comedy with me?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books

“Thank you so much for performing with me today. I really love stand-up comedy, but I’m too busy right now. I’ll definitely come to
you when I have time.” Astrid bowed to Hanson with a smile, “I have to go now. Goodbye.”
Before Astrid could leave, Hanson called out to her, “Astrid, take care of yourself.”
“I will, you go get some rest.” Astrid left with a smile and headed straight for the dressing room.
Along the way, many staff asked for autographs and photos, and she obliged each one of them.
Just as she entered the dressing room, she pushed the door open to an unexpected visitor, “Oh, what brings you here?”
Paula said, “Astrid, could you consider our previous relationship and ask the production team to cut out your performance just
now?”
“Hmph.” Astrid scoffed, “What gives you the right to ask me to do that?”
“Fannie indeed did something wrong to you, but she’s already like this. You’re very popular now and she’s hit rock bottom. She’s
already received her punishment. Can’t you just forgive her?”
