Chapter 226
Sure, he had some clout, but it wasn’t worth a hill of beans compared to Elio.
He’d heard about Elio’s tricks and now he was kicking himself, “Mr. Elio. Mr. Elio! It’s a misunderstanding! It’s all just a misunderstanding. I was just joking around with Ms. Irvine. I was only joking, I swear. I meant no disrespect!”
At this point, Lambert was groveling at Elio’s feet and was a picture of total humiliation.
Seeing Elio unmoved, Lambert turned to Astrid for support, but she quickly stepped away, “Don’t kneel to me; it makes me sick.”
Elio glanced at the nonchalant Astrid and softly asked, “You alright?”
“Do I look like I’m in trouble? Relax, I’m fine.” Astrid gave Elio a small smile, “By the way, it’s almost time for my ‘show; let’s move to another place to continue my makeup; you can deal with this guy.”
“Sure.” Elio’s gentle tone when speaking to Astrid was so unexpected that it nearly knocked Carla’s socks off.
“Carla, let’s go.” Astrid called out to Carla at the door, and Carla finally snapped back to reality and scurried out with her makeup box.
Elio looked down at Lambert on the floor like he was a bug, “Carson, you know what to do, right?”
Carson nodded, “Chief, don’t worry, I got this.”
Lambert was scared witless, “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I know I was wrong!”
“You shouldn’t be apologizing to me; you should apologize to the girls you’ve hurt.” Elio left him with those words and walked away.
Lambert collapsed in despair.
The variety show recording took several hours, and by the time Astrid was done, the rumor mill was in full swing.
Lambert’s good guy image crumbled overnight, and someone even dug up his affair with Fannie.
In the car, Astrid was reading the news and couldn’t help but sigh, “That’s why you shouldn’t build up a fake image, because when it collapses, you’re
toast.”
“Mm, Elio agreed, then asked, “Why didn’t you scream for help when he entered the dressing room?”
Astrid smiled, “I could handle it myself; there was no need to cry wolf.”
“By the way, why did you come?”
“I…” Elio hesitated, “Today is my birthday; I wanted to have dinner with you after the show.”
Astrid gripped her hands tightly and quickly changed the subject, “How did you know I would agree to have dinner with you?”
“If you didn’t agree, I would announce on Twitter that you talk in your sleep and grind your teeth, and your goddess image would be shattered.”
“You’re shameless.”
“I’m flattered.”
Astrid had no response.
In all the time she had known Elio, aside from a tiny Pikachu, she didn’t recall ever giving him a gift.
Astrid thought for a moment and sent a message to Chad. “Chad, come out, come out, it’s urgent!”
There was no reply.
Astrid sent another message to Hank. “Hank! Come out, come out; it’s urgent!”
Still no reply.
Feeling hopeless, she sent out a gift card in their group chat.
The gift card was quickly snapped up.
Chad replied. “Wow, Chief, are you playing us? Why’d you send out such a low–value gift card?”
