Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 94

The setup was pretty simple, just a table with scissors on it and the balloon in Astrid’s hand.

Astrid was wearing an off-shoulder dress today; her arms were fully exposed, making her movements

clearly visible.

Everyone was watching her hands intently, then saw her pinching the deflated balloon with two fingers,

and said to the audience, “If you guys don’t believe that this is a normal balloon, you can come up and

check it out.”

“I’ll do it!” A male actor from the front row came up, examined the balloon, and then said,

can confirm this is a regular balloon.”

Astrid nodded, turned to Fannie, who was sitting not far away, and asked with a smile, “Ms. Santos,

would you like to take a look?”

Fannie, clueless about what Astrid was up to, just shook her head, “I trust you.”

Astrid said, “That’s good; I hope you won’t think I’m cheating.” With that, she went back behind the

magic table, picked up the scissors on the table, and started to cut the balloon, quickly puncturing it.

Everyone was puzzled by what she was doing.

Then, Astrid crumpled the broken balloon into a ball, held it in her hand, and slowly walked up to a child

star in the front row, whispering, “Sweetie, if you blow a breath at it, it will turn into a beautiful flower.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Upon hearing that, the little girl obediently blew a breath.

Astrid said, “Wow, look honey, the flower has bloomed.” She then opened her folded hands, and a rose

was in her palm, even with some dew drops on the petals.

Elio’s tightly furrowed brow relaxed at that moment, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

How much talent does this girl have?

The little girl, surprised, took the rose that Astrid handed her and jumped into her mother’s arms with

joy, her sweet laughter echoing.

The audience was stunned, the camera was still focused on Astrid’s hand. They watched the whole

process on the big screen and didn’t see any flaws.

And Astrid was wearing a dress, with nowhere to hide anything. Where did this rose come from? Was it

a real one?

“You’re amazing!”

“I love you!”

“I want to have your babies!” Orion’s loud shout from the audience brought everyone back to reality,

and they started to applaud.

Elio’s face instantly changed when he heard Orion say he wanted to have Astrid’s babies.

“That was amazing; I was sitting right across from her, and I really thought that flower grew out of her

hand.”

“Some magicians are easily exposed up close, but I’ve been watching her and didn’t see anything.”

“I really admire her, really!”

“She could have relied on her looks to succeed, but she chose to rely on her talent!”

“I’m planning a movie about magic; I want to invite her to audition! I have a new candidate for my lead

actress!”

Fannie shook with anger as she listened to people sing her praises.

This was not what she planned; she wanted Astrid to make a fool of herself!

Why did Astrid suddenly perform so well?!

Several directors and producers nearby noticed Astrid; they were all discussing collaborating with her!

Especially that big-budget movie about magic, it was originally hers!!!

Joana once said that Astrid was a good actress; if Astrid went to audition, wouldn’t her role be

replaced???

Thinking about this, Fannie almost fainted.

Astrid returned to the stage and slowly picked up the microphone. “Actually, I owe this performance

opportunity to Miss Fannie. Without Miss Santos’s recommendation, I wouldn’t have had the chance to

showcase my talent in front of you all. Miss Fannie is really a good person…”
