Chapter 36

Anyone with half a brain can see that Elio’s got a thing for Astrid. If Fannie pissed him off with her

nonsense, she could be dead meat!

“Sorry, Mr. Lampard, I’m so sorry…” Paula apologized repeatedly, then forcibly dragged Fannie out of

the lounge.

The lounge got quiet, and the atmosphere turned a bit weird.

This was the first time Astrid had seen Elio angry, and it was just as scary as the rumors had made it

out to be.

Elio turned around and saw Astrid staring at him, dumbstruck. He immediately softened his tone,

“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.”

“No, no, I wasn’t scared.” Thinking about Elio’s words to Fannie, Astrid felt a bit uncomfortable. She

pointed at the gift box in front of her, Is this for me?”

Elio nodded and opened the lid of the box, asking softly, “Hmm, do you like it?“:

She looked at the jewelry in the box and gave a small smirk, “Looks nice, but there’s no such thing as a

free lunch, Mr. Lampard. What’s your angle?” “Obviously… I like you,” Elio whispered in Astrid’s ear.

Astrid blushed and pushed him away.

Could this guy be more serious? Did he think she’s one of those naive girls who would fall for sweet

nothings?

How naive.

She gave Elio a look and tossed the gift back into the box, “Mr Lampard, this gift is too expensive. I

can’t accept

Elio: “…”

Elio: “It was Roman who picked it out for you. He even sent you a WhatsApp.”

Upon hearing this, Astrid immediately checked her WhatsApp. Sure enough, there was a voice

message from Roman: Hope you like.

The little guy’s voice was choppy, but Astrid knew he was trying his best to talk.

“So it was Roman’s choice. I knew your taste couldn’t be that good. Since Roman picked it out, I’ll

borrow it for now. I’ll return to you after the press conference.” Astrid picked up the gift and hugged it,

immediately sending Roman a voice message: Thank you, Roman. I love the gift you picked out. Love

you!

“…” Elio felt a bit sour. Did he really have no place in Astrid’s heart? He had to use Roman’s name to

give a gift, how frustrating.

Astrid picked out a decent–looking gift from the pile in the room and was about to change when she

remembered something. She turned around and asked Elio seriously, “Mr Lampard, did you send

someone to follow me? How did you know I needed jewelry?”

Elio: “We’re in sync, I naturally know what you need.”

Astrid laughed coldly, “Man’s mouth is as deceitful as ghost’s!”

The dressing room door closed, and Elio thought back to the way Astrid had rolled her eyes at him,

smiling faintly.

Tina’s observation skills were sharp. Once she sensed something was wrong, she immediately led her

team to withdraw.”

Thank goodness she had turned off the video earlier. If the young masters found out that someone was

interested in Astrid, it could cause a riot!

As she was about to leave, Brandon sent a message: “Send me the address of the press conference.”

Tina was surprised, her hands were shaking as she typed, “Brandon, what are you planning to do?”

Brandon: “Hey, show some love for Astrid, will ya?”
