Chapter 253
Elio stiffened in shock.
There were many celebrities around. When they heard Astrid’s shout, they immediately turned their
heads to see what was going on.
“Who dares call Chief by his name directly?”
“Which female star is trying to get Mr. Lampard’s attention this time?”
“I think it’s Astrid!”
“Really?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
There were many people in the corridor, a mix of stars and staff. Many of them didn’t know who was
shouting for Elio. Only those closest to Astrid saw her.
A few didn’t even recognize her.
Elio heard Astrid’s angry voice and was confused. What had he done wrong this time?
Elio stood obediently and did not move when he saw Astrid storming towards him.
Just as Astrid was about to reach Elio, Dale darted out and pulled her away. “I know Elio made your red
carpet walk a disaster, but if you hit him now in front of all these people, your career is over!”
Astrid, thinking about the embarrassing situation earlier, was so angry that she had a stomachache.
“Dale, did you see how pathetic I was? I just wanted to walk the red carpet properly; look at what that
guy Elio did!”
“Calm down, calm down; your image is the most important. If you hit him now, you’re the one who will
lose. Your performance tonight is very important; it’s a chance for you to show your talent. You can’t let
your anger ruin your future.” Dale said, pulling her away.
Elio waited for a long time, but Astrid didn’t come back. He handed the remote control in his hand to
Carson, who was a little ways away, with a puzzled face. “Carson, what’s with your face?”
“Chief, you didn’t get hit?” Carson asked quietly.
Elio frowned, “Why would I get hit?”
Carson said, “You made Ms. Irvine’s red carpet walk a disaster. Knowing her personality, it’s weird if
she didn’t beat you up.”
“Beat me?” Elio was confused. “I looked it up online; don’t girls like unexpected surprises? Aren’t rose
petals a surprise? Isn’t it romantic?”
Carson was at a loss for words at Elio’s nonchalant attitude.
Though Carson was afraid of getting his salary docked, he still weakly said. “Chief, a shower of petals
is indeed romantic, but you have to use it at the right place. Didn’t you see how the rose petals messed
up Ms. Irvine’s hair, blocked her vision, and even got blown into her mouth? Overall, it was a disastrous
red–carpet scene.”
Rose petals were blown into her mouth?
Oh boy!
No wonder Astrid’s voice was full of anger.
He had used robots and drones to simulate the scene multiple times to ensure everything was perfect.
But he didn’t take the wind into account.
What a mess! He wanted to create a romantic experience, but it looks like he’s losing points now.
“Chief, Zack is looking for you.” Carson’s voice interrupted Elio’s thoughts.
His expression returned to its usual indifference. “I’m busy.”
Carson said, “He said it’s about Ms. Irvine.”
Elio paused, “Take me to him.”
