Chapter 270


    Astrid was not one of those naive people who were easily bullied. Before stepping into this ce, 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 y, it’d probably be with the sses.


    So, she came prepared.


    “Sure, I should be penalized, but your ss is too small,” Astrid stated, astonishingly pulling out a ss


    wrapped in cling film from her bag, “See, I brought my own ss, 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 ss to a party!


    What’s gotten into Astrid?


    Things were escting beyond her calctions, and Tania suddenly felt a rush of panic.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Her hand clutching the ss was trembling.


    Chuckling, Astrid poured herself a full ss 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 airpared to those pretentious, fake actresses who always imed 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 ss, “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


    be one of the potential leads?


    How is this going? Her initial n was to sabotage Astrid, how did she end up creating a new


    “Tania, this one’s for you. If it wasn’t for your rmendation, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity. I


    truly appreciate it!” Astrid raised her ss, looking sincerely at Tania, innocence written all over her


    face.
