Love in the Limelight

Chapter 19

Roman’s face soured the moment he heard Astrid’s rejection.

Astrid noticed it and immediately tried to cheer him up, ‘Roman, don’t be sad. You can come to see me anytime

Roman seemed a bit happier hearing this He held out his little hand and made a pinky promise with Astrid. Astrid chuckled at Roman’s serlous face and hooked her pinky with his.

Elio didn’t insist on her staying and just asked, “Ms Irvine, it’s a bit hard to get a cab right now. Where are you heading? I can have my driver take you.”

Astrid didn’t hesitate, “I’m going to submit my résignation”

Ello just hummed in response and didn’t say anything more The air was filled with a chilly vibe. Astrid looked at this cold man in front of her and made a face.

Elio didn’t bother with Roman. He just casually made a cup of tea in the yard and dialed Carson’s number, “Carson, give Ms. Irvine a call later in the name of a real estate agent.” Real estate agent?
