Astrid wasn’t ticked off at all. Instead, she shrugged and said, “I’m a newbie. Don’t have any signature roles yet. So, it’s totally okay that you don’t recognize me.”

Mandy had thought Astrid would throw a fit. But her chill attitude caught her off guard.

As Selena started to do Astrid’s makeup, Mandy just sat there, not making a move to leave.

After a while, she popped another question. “So, what’s the deal with you and Elio?”

Astrid had anticipated a lot of things, but Mandy mentioning Elio was not one of them.

First, she said she didn’t know her, and now she was asking her about Elio. It was all a bit too much to process.

Astrid glanced at Mandy and nonchalantly said, “He’s trying to ask me out.”

At that response, Mandy’s face dropped. She pulled out a check from her bag and slapped it on the table. “My daughter likes Elio. If you back off, this million-dollar check is yours. Also, I can hook you up with a lead role in a show.”

“For a small actress like you, these resources are a big deal. Plus, dating could screw up your career. I’m just looking out for you.”

“And, you and Elio… you’re not a match.”
