Chapter 97
At that moment, Fannie felt a bit dizzy. She turned to look at Astrid, only to feel a sense of fear towards
the sweet-smiling girl in front of her.
“Don’t look at me like that; you’re freaking me out,” Astrid casually raised an eyebrow, “Next time
there’s an opportunity like this, hand it over to me, will ya? I wouldn’t mind you throwing all your
resources my way. Not many folks are willing to sacrifice for others these days.”
With that, Astrid spun around and left, leaving Fannie alone with a view of her retreating back.
Fannie stood there, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
Astrid, humming a tune, returned to her seat. When she sat down, she heard Elio’s icy remark, “Ms.
Irvine, you’re quite something. Even the master magician is smitten with you.”
“Of course,” Astrid lifted her chin in pride, “I have fans worldwide.”
“The whole world?” Elio was skeptical.
He thought Astrid was joking, so he didn’t press the matter. But one thing was clear; he’d probably
have much more competition for her attention after today.
From when Astrid walked on stage to when she returned, many male actors couldn’t take their eyes off
her. If it weren’t for him being there, a lot of them would definitely have tried to get her contact info. He
was glad he came, or who knows what would’ve happened.
Astrid seemed in high spirits, humming a tune under her breath, although he couldn’t determine what it
was.
The charity event was finally coming to a close with donations and group photos. Elio wasn’t a fan of
the latter, so he left early to wait for Astrid in the car.
Compared to the starlets vying for the spotlight, Astrid seemed very laid-back. She stood out no matter
where she was.
As the event wrapped up, she ran into Joana, who greeted her enthusiastically, “Astrid, do you know
Locke?”
“Sort of,” Astrid nodded.
“Could you introduce me to him? I really love his magic shows,” Joana asked, looking a bit nervous.
“Why don’t you go find him yourself? We’re not that close,” Astrid responded with a slight raise of her
brow. She had only seen Locke in photos before; their meeting today was the first.
Joana clearly didn’t believe her. Given how warmly Locke had behaved in front of Astrid, it didn’t seem
like they were strangers at all.
“Joana, what are you doing? There’s an interview over here!” Emily called out, causing Joana to
scamper off.
Before she reached the interview spot, she saw Locke being interviewed. He looked at a man not too
far away, his cheeks slightly flushed.
The reporter asked, “Locke, you and Astrid are both magicians. Did you know each other before?”
Locke nodded, “Yes.”
Reporter asked, “What’s the relationship between you two? Friends or mentor and disciple?”
“Mentor and disciple?” Locke shook his head vehemently, “I’m not worthy!”
“I’m not worthy to be her student!”
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
The renowned magician claimed he wasn’t worthy of being Astrid’s student? Was this a joke… This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Reporter, “You’ve won many international magic awards; what’s your dream for your future career?”
“My dream is to be taught by Ms. Irvine. If that happens, I could die without any regrets!”
