Chapter 473


    Astrid nodded, "Yeah, we signed the contract."


    Gracie replied, "Wow, that was fast!"


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    After some thought, Gracie decided not to tell Astrid about Elio''s proposition. After all, she didn''t take


    his money - although she was tempted to.


    Her phone buzzed and she quickly grabbed it. Her mouth dropped open in surprise. "Astrid, it''s Rickon!


    He wants to take me out for dinner!"


    Astrid chuckled at Gracie''s excitement. "Go ahead, Selena can apany me for the afternoon


    briefing. We don''t have much going on anyway."


    "But seriously, what kind of rtionship are you guys in? You hardly ever see each other!"


    Gracie hugged her phone, grinning from ear to ear. "You don''t understand - absence makes the heart


    grow fonder!"


    "I have so many ws. If I''m always around him, he''ll surely get tired of me. So, I decided to keep my


    distance. It''s perfect."


    "Perfect?" Astrid smirked. "Aren''t you nning to marry Rickon someday? Are you going to keep your


    distance then too? You''ll live in separate rooms like roommates?"


    Gracie said, "That... sounds fine to me! We''ll do our marital duties, and then sleep separately. Perfect!"


    Gracie''s twisted logic made Dale choke on his coke.


    Dale looked at Gracie, speechless. "From what I see, you and Rickon are not even in a rtionship. If


    you truly like someone, you''d want to see them often. Yet, you two barely even keep in touch."


    Gracie said, "He''s just really busy."


    Dale continued, "No matter how busy you are, there''s always time to send a message. Never believe a


    guy who says he''s too busy to reply. It only takes a few seconds!"


    Gracie didn’t know what to say


    Seeing Gracie silent, Astrid immediately pped Dale''s arm andforted Gracie. "Don''t listen to


    Dale''s nonsense. You know Rickon, he''s not much of a talker and rarely uses social media. Don''t back


    down now! Rickon has never asked me out for a meal all these years. You know how special that


    makes you, right?"


    Upon hearing it, Gracie instantly brightened up, "Don''t worry, I won''t back down. If he doesn''t ask me


    out, I''ll ask him. I''ll annoy the hell out of him! I have to leave now. I need to get dressed."


    Astrid said, "Take the car. Dale can drop me off."


    Gracie blew them a kiss as she left, "Okay, love you!"


    Dale watched Gracie''s cheerful figure disappear, puzzled. "I really don''t understand the world anymore.


    Even Rickon has a girlfriend now. Do you think Gracie and that introverted Rickon make a good pair?"


    "Why can''t a great guy like Rickon have a girlfriend? If you can find a boyfriend, why can''t Rickon find a


    girlfriend?" Astrid red at Dale, "Stop babbling. Let''s go, we can''t bete for the briefing."


    Dale was silenced by Astrid''s re and obediently went to start the car.


    No sooner had Dale left than she was stopped by someone.


    "Astrid, it really is you!"


    Astrid turned around to see Bernice, chatting andughing with the producer.


    Upon seeing Astrid, Fraser introduced her to Bernice with a smile, "Astrid, although you and Bernice


    had some disagreements previously, it''s really not a big deal. With both of you in our show, it''s bound to


    be a hit."
