Love in the Limelight

Chapter 285

Gracie: “How could it not be possible? The internet is buzzing that Joana got the lead role, she’s on the brink of stardom!”

Astrid: “Calm down, Gracie. Let’s wait for the official announcement.”

After hanging up the phone, Astrid logged onto Twitter, only to find it flooded with news of Joana landing the leading lady role in Endless Longing.

People were not just singing Joana’s praises, they were also throwing shade at her.

They were comparing the two since they had previously worked together and were now both in the running for the same role.

“Astrid is the better fit, isn’t she? After all, beauty is power.”

“I reckon Joana’s the better bet though, she may not be as striking as Astrid, but she’s got a solid body of work under her belt!” “I can’t wait to see Astrid in period costume!”

After scrolling through a few comments, Astrid got bored and was about to hit the sack when a message popped up on her screen. Dale: “Roberson rang me, you’re confirmed for the lead in Endless Longing. Contract signing at 1 pm, do you need a lift?”

Astrid: “Nah, I can make it on my own.”

Joana was just trying to stir the pot and making a splash. She wlways up to no good.

When Astrid got home, Yates had already left. She set her alarm and retreated back to bed.
