Chapter 87
She stood up, looked at Elio, and said softly, “I’m heading out first, Mr. Lampard.”
As Astrid walked towards the door, just as she opened her umbrella, she heard Elio’s voice, “Astrid, hold on; I have something to say.” Astrid stopped and turned to look at him.
Elio, looking into her clear eyes, finally gathered enough courage to speak his mind, “Marry me.”
Marry him?
Astrid’s eyes widened in surprise.
She had not been oblivious to Elio’s feelings towards her.
But he skipped over confessions, dating, and movie watching and jumped straight to proposing?
And he doesn’t even have a proposal ring; is he being too hasty?
“No way.” Astrid shook her head firmly, “I’m not marrying you.”
“Why?”
Astrid raised an eyebrow, “I don’t fancy you. Why would I marry you?”
With that, Astrid gave Elio a disdainful glance, picked up her umbrella, and walked away.
She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Heaven was fair and made Elio a man with perfect looks who didn’t understand romance.
This way of pursuing a girl is simply unacceptable.
Elio turned his head and saw Roman standing there, laughing at him.
Carson was very puzzled, “Chief, why would you propose to her like that? It makes you seem insincere.”
Elio didn’t answer. He just walked over, picked up Roman, and left.
He wasn’t really proposing; he just wanted to test Astrid’s feelings.
Astrid’s mind was hard to understand; she always kept a distance from him. How would he know what she thought if he didn’t try?
From her reaction today, she wasn’t angry about his proposal; the reason for her refusal was not because she had someone else she liked, so he still had a chance.
He had a lifetime to pursue her.
In this life, he won’t marry anyone else except her.
After Astrid finished her makeup and arrived on set, Joana immediately came over to greet her, “Astrid, I’m really sorry; I have to attend a charity event tomorrow, so I’ll be counting on you.”
“It’s fine.” Astrid shook her head gently, then signaled to the director, “Director, I’m ready.”
Seeing Astrid’s attitude, Joana stopped talking.
Joana has a poor memory, often forgetting her lines, and she often breaks character and laughs during filming.
This results in a lot of reshooting.
Originally, they could finish filming around 11 p.m., but they ended up shooting until 3 a.m.
Finally, after the last scene was shot, Joana started to complain, “Oh my God, I’m exhausted; I can barely keep my eyes open.”
“You’re dragging down the entire crew and you have the nerve to complain? If I were you, I’d be too ashamed to show my face! Look at Astrid; you should learn from her; a real actor is all about the performance!” Todd had been displeased with Joana for a while now.
The directors of the shows Joana had filmed in the past were quite lenient towards her, and the demands on her acting skills were not strict.
Her minor fame was mainly due to her excellent agent, who

It
was all because Astrid’s performance was too outstanding, which made her look inadequate.
After Astrid returned to the hotel, she washed up and went to bed.
The next day, she was still asleep when she was awakened by a vigorous knocking on the door.
