Chapter 199
Things got crazy busy for Astrid right after the holidays.
Today, she had a magazine shoot with Clyde..
Clyde had become a bit scared of her due to some shenanigans on set, always ducking out as soon as a shoot wrapped up and never daring to get too close..
They went their separate ways after the magazine shoot without any interaction.
The TV show Astrid had previously filmed was a low–budget web series with a short post–production period, so it was quickly set for release.
Despite the short production time, her value skyrocketed.
She ran into some old colleagues from the TV show at a certain corporate party. Their attitude towards her had noticeably changed. “Where did you get that gorgeous dress?”
“Long time no see. You’ve become even more beautiful!”
“Wow, how did you manage to lose more weight? Share your secret!”
In the entertainment industry, flattery is always the order of the day. Astrid just smiled and answered everyone’s questions without showing any abnormality.
Joana, all dolled up, got hardly any attention when she arrived.
Everyone was busy chatting with Astrid. Joana was a bit peeved, but she didn’t show it, just stepped up with a smile, “Long time no see. Is Mr. Lampard from Morgenster Corporation chasing you? Any truth in that? Why didn’t he drop you off today?”
Astrid’s eyes darkened slightly. “I have my own car. I don’t need anyone to drive me.”
“Oh, I saw many people online saying you’ve become even better.” Joana said with a smile, “Honestly, I’m quite envious. You’re so beautiful, and with Mr. Lampard, you can get whatever resources you want. How could you not be popular?”
Joana implied that Astrid only had her movie resources because she was with Elio.
Astrid calmly replied, “Only those without talent would think about relying on a man for resources. I don’t need to become better because I’m already awesome.”
Astrid’s confidence had everyone looking at her in a new light.
Feeling a bit awkward, Joana laughed and said, “That’s not entirely true. Relying on men for resources can be quite nice.”
“Oh?” Astrid raised an eyebrow at that, “Joana, with your experience, you must have found a man to rely on, right?”
Joana went pale and started stuttering, “What are you saying? I’m single. I got to where I am today through my own hard work. I got the lead role because of my talent, not by relying on any man! Never!”
Joana was clearly flustered, her face unnaturally pale.
In the entertainment industry, people have sharp eyes. Rumors had been circulating that a rich man had taken care of Joana.
Seeing Joana’s blatant cover–up, it was likely, the rumors were true.
Unable to face the crowd, Joana grabbed her dress and bolted.
“Astar!!!” A familiar voice rang out. Astrid turned around to see Teresa running towards her.
In heels, Teresa was having difficulty running and looked quite clumsy.
Astrid stepped forward and caught her, “Teresa, what are you doing? You’re a public figure. Can’t you mind your image a bit?”
