Chapter 287


    “She’s just trying to ride the hype, anyway we’ve already signed the contract. If anyone’s gonna feel


    awkward, it’s her.” Astrid yawned, just about to take a nap when her phone buzzed.


    Dale sent a message: “I’m at the VIP3 lounge on the 23rd floor of Liberty Technology.”


    Astrid replied: “Ok”


    “Gracie, I’m going to rest for a bit. Wake me up when we get there.” Astrid closed her eyes and drifted


    off to sleep quickly.


    By the time she arrived at Liberty Technology, Director Gaines, the director of Endless Longing, had


    already arrived.


    Both sides were pleased with the negotiation, whether it was about the payment or other contract


    matters.


    The role selection was a collective decision by the director’s group, and amongst all those who


    auditioned, Astrid was undoubtedly the best. After signing the contract, Astrid headed downstairs.,


    In the elevator, Astrid saw Dale constantly fixing herself in the mirror. She joked, “Dale, what are you up


    to? Got a hot date?”


    Dale replied, “No, don’t talk nonsense.” She adjusted her hair and turned to Astrid, “The shooting


    location is up north, it’s bitter cold there. Pack more warm clothes. I won’t be around all the time, don’t

    be stubborn if something happens, got it?”


    Astrid nodded, “Is the male lead decided?”


    “It’s Palmer. He’s a great actor, very honest, and talented.” Mentioning this actor, Dale added, “But his


    fans are crazy fanatical, it’s best if you limit your interaction with him.”


    Astrid nodded, “Got it, I’ll avoid contact as much as possible.”


    “By the way, how’ve things been with Eliotely?” Dale asked Astrid curiously, “Any new


    developments?”


    Astrid nced at Dale, “Are you pulling my leg?”


    Gracie chimed in, “No, I bet he’s Robb’s spy!”


    Dale was speechless for a moment, “Do I look like someone who does everything Robb says?”


    Astrid and Gracie nodded in unison, “Yes, you’re exactly that person!”


    Dale retorted, “Cut the crap!”


    “I’m telling you, Robb does whatever I tell him to. If I tell him to go east, he wouldn’t dare go west. If I


    tell him to sit, he wouldn’t dare stand!”


    “Ding…” The elevator doors opened, and seeing Robb standing there, Dale quickly shut up.


    Robb nced at the people in front of him, “What took you so long?”


    “Uh, couldn’t help it, Gaines likes to drag out negotiations.” Dale adjusted her hair, a bit nervous.


    Hopefully, Robb didn’t hear what she just said.


    After all, the elevator is soundproof.


    “Star, you’re heading north for a shoot?” Robb went over to fix Astrid’s messy hair, then reminded her


    gently, “Take care of yourself, call me if anything happens.”


    “I got it, don’t worry.” Astrid smiled, and Robb handed her a card.


    She was speechless for a moment, and without looking at the card, she pushed it back, “Why are you


    acting like Rickon now? I’m not broke, I have money!”


    “Silly, it’s not a bank card, it’s a VIP card for Exquisite Indulgence. With this card, you can have


    anything you want delivered to the set.” Robb casually put his hand on her shoulder, gave it a soft


    squeeze, then frowned, “See, you’ve lost weight again.”
