Love in the Limelight

Chapter 169

When Astrid and Clyde reached the TV station, a bunch of fans had already gathered outside.

Astrid’s fan base had grown significantly. She walked over with a smile, shook hands, and exchanged greetings before entering the station.

The staff were waiting at the entrance to greet them. As the two walked over, one of the staff members said cheerfully, “Right this way, please. I’ll show you to the green room where you can get the lay of the land before we do the dress rehearsal.”

“Okay.” Astrid nodded, and Gracie, who was trailing after her, caught sight of a bunch of celebs, including her favorite one.

But to avoid causing any trouble for Astrid, she kept her fangirling in check and acted very appropriately.

“Feel free to call on me if you need anything,” said the staff member before leaving. Astrid and Clyde sat down and remained silent.

After a while, they heard a familiar voice, “What a coincidence. I didn’t think I’d bump into you here.”

“I didn’t expect to run into you either, Ms. Helena.” Astrid looked at Helena, smiling as if all their previous unpleasant encounters had never happened.
