Chapter 270
Astrid was not one of those naive people who were easily bullied. Before stepping into this place, she had already anticipated all possible scenarios. The booze in the bottle should be fine, ‘cause everyone would be pouring from it. So, if there was any foul play, it’d probably be with the glasses.
So, she came prepared.
“Sure, I should be penalized, but your glass is too small,” Astrid stated, astonishingly pulling out a glass wrapped in cling film from her bag, “See, I brought my own glass, if we’re gonna drink, we should do it right.”
Tania was stunned by Astrid’s move.
Who’d have thought someone would bring their own glass to a party!
What’s gotten into Astrid?
Things were escalating beyond her calculations, and Tania suddenly felt a rush of panic.
Her hand clutching the glass was trembling.
Chuckling, Astrid poured herself a full glass of red wine and downed it in one go, “Cheers everyone, I’ll start with three shots!”
Seeing Astrid’s hearty drinking, some of the producers immediately took a liking to her.
She was a breath of fresh air compared to those pretentious, fake actresses who always claimed they didn’t drink.
“Ms. Irvine, you sure can hold your liquor, I enjoy working with people like you,” Roberson grinned at Astrid, his face alight with satisfaction, “I heard from Tania that you’re interested in my period drama?”
“Indeed, I’m quite fond of that show you’re backing, but seeing as I’m just a newbie without any notable works, I had to ask Tania to introduce me,” Astrid spoke with grace and tact, earning her a few more brownie points.
Tania sat there, her smile somewhat strained, “Yes, Roberson, Astrid’s new but she’s got some serious acting chops, it’d be great if you could give her some screen time.”
Tania was starting to lose her cool. Her schemes had fallen through.
Suddenly, Astrid seemed to have taken the reins, making her feel a bit defensive.
“She’s a good actress, I agree. I’ve watched her in that recent hit show. Her role might not be big, but it’s the most talked about online. And her fan base has been growing rapidly since the show aired,” Roberson’s words sent a chill down Tania’s spine.
She never thought someone as important as Roberson would pay such close attention to a newbie like Astrid!
Something felt off.
“Astrid, you know what, the lead female role for my period drama isn’t cast yet. I think you’d be a good fit. Come audition at ten in the morning the day after tomorrow, let me and the directors take another look,” Roberson finished, other directors and producers nodding in agreement.
Astrid gave a small smile, pouring herself another full glass, “Thank you so much, Roberson. I’ll drink to that first, you follow.”
Tania felt cold sweat trickling down her back. In just a few short sentences, Astrid had suddenly become one of the potential leads?
How is this going? Her initial plan was to sabotage Astrid, how did she end up creating a new competitor?
“Tania, this one’s for you. If it wasn’t for your recommendation, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity. I truly appreciate it!” Astrid raised her glass, looking sincerely at Tania, innocence written all over her face.
