Love in the Limelight

Chapter 111

Gracie followed Astrid’s gaze, her eyes widening in surprise before whispering, “Oh wow, what does Director want from you at this hour? He’s not gonna blow his top because we took the day off, right?”

“No worries, go and rest. I’ll chat with Director, Astrid replied, starting to head off.

Upon seeing her return, Todd quickly approached, grinning. “Astrid, finally you’re back. I heard from a friend that you’re a magician. In the drama, your character participates in a talent show, right? So, we could switch it to a magic show instead of a dance performance. It would be more captivating; what do you think?”

Astrid gave Todd a long look. He was quick on his feet. Magic was more attention–grabbing than singing and dancing, and it would make her character more prominent.

“You call the shots, Director Astrid was visibly relieved when she learned it was just this. “However, I might need your help in getting some magic props. I’ll make a list and send it to you later Is that okay?”

“No problem, no problem.” Todd nodded, handing her the revised script, “We’ve changed some lines to go with the new performance. Give it a read tonight.”

“Sure thing “Astrid nodded in agreement.

Todd further explained some arrangements for the next day’s scenes before he left.
