Love in the Limelight

Fannie was at home, throwing things around in a fit of rage.
It took her a while to realize that she needed to bail, she couldn’t stay at home!
Although the stage light didn’t hit Astrid, the lighting technician had fessed up in the video that she was the puppet master behind
the scenes. The cops would definitely be coming for her!
She couldn’t get arrested, she had to stick around to see Astrid fail at the victory party tomorrow!
With that, Fannie hurriedly packed all her precious diamonds and a bunch of clothes into her suitcase, then dragged it out of the
house.
She was anxiously waiting for the elevator, but when the doors opened, it was packed with cops!
The video of Fannie getting arrested spread widely on the internet.
People could only shake their heads, last year Fannie was all the rage, this year she shot herself in the foot.
This time, she was really toast.
As for Fannie’s arrest, Astrid wasn’t surprised at all, because it was all part of her plan.
It was late at night, Astrid turned off the lights and went back to her bedroom to sleep.
Just as she closed her eyes, her phone rang. It was Gracie!
Calling at this time, something must’ve happened, right?

Astrid quickly answered the phone, “Gracie, what’s up?”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Astrid, you’ll never guess who I ran into?” There was excitement in Gracie’s voice, “Guess, guess!”
Astrid had a hunch, but to play along with Gracie’s performance, she said, “How could I possibly guess, just tell me!”
Gracie said, “It’s Rickon Brooke! I was gobsmacked! When I saw him walking towards me, I thought he was here to eat, I asked
him if he was meeting someone. Then he said, ‘Yep, you.’ I was floored, if I hadn’t kept my wits about me, I might’ve jumped him
right there!”
Gracie chattered excitedly on the other end of the phone, Astrid couldn’t help but crack a smile.
As for why she guessed it was Rickon.
Because in the afternoon, Jon mentioned in the group chat that Rickon had sneaked into Sunhaven to meet someone
mysterious.
Combining all his previous experiences, Astrid quickly figured it out.
But Rickon did a good job of playing it cool, she didn’t see it coming at all.
Gracie and Rickon make a nice pair.
The next evening, Astrid and Elio went to the victory party.
As soon as Maddox saw them, his eyes lit up, “Astrid, we owe you big time, if it weren’t for your talents showcased on the show,
it wouldn’t have been such a hit!

And Mr. Lampard, we’re really, really grateful, you two are the heroes of our show!”
As soon as the live audience saw Astrid and Elio, they went nuts, [Ahhh! Astar!]

Listening to Maddox, Astrid couldn’t help but laugh, “Mr. Maddox, you’re too kind. The success of the show is due to the hard
work of the staff and all the guests, it’s not just me.”
Elio said, “Astrid is right.”
The chat room erupted.
[Haha, Mr. Lampard is such a yes-man!]
[Feels like Mr. Lampard is about to pop the question!]
[Haha, did you see Astar roll her eyes?]
While netizens were excitedly commenting, a woman in a flamboyant red dress appeared at the victory party.
[Who’s that?]
[OMG, I want to start a fundraiser for her to buy some clothes, half of her boobs are out!]
[I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere.]
[Ah!! I recognize her, it’s Astrid’s sister Lucinda!]
