Astrid wasn’t ticked off at all. Instead, she shrugged and said, “I’m a newbie. Don’t have any signature

roles yet. So, it’s totally okay that you don’t recognize me.”

Mandy had thought Astrid would throw a fit. But her chill attitude caught her off guard.

As Selena started to do Astrid’s makeup, Mandy just sat there, not making a move to leave.

After a while, she popped another question. “So, what’s the deal with you and Elio?”

Astrid had anticipated a lot of things, but Mandy mentioning Elio was not one of them.

First, she said she didn’t know her, and now she was asking her about Elio. It was all a bit too much to

process.

Astrid glanced at Mandy and nonchalantly said, “He’s trying to ask me out.”

At that response, Mandy’s face dropped. She pulled out a check from her bag and slapped it on the

table. “My daughter likes Elio. If you back off, this million-dollar check is yours. Also, I can hook you up

with a lead role in a show.”

“For a small actress like you, these resources are a big deal. Plus, dating could screw up your career.

I’m just looking out for you.”

“And, you and Elio… you’re not a match.”

The room fell silent at her words.

Did Mandy just try to use money to control Astrid?

Gracie couldn’t help but retort, “Everyone knows how well Astrid and Elio match. How can you say they

don’t?”

Mandy turned to look at Gracie, “My daughter is the most elegant lady in our circle, pure and worthy of

Elio. Unlike some people…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

Astrid signaled Selena to stop, then slowly turned around. There was no anger on her face, only a

smirk. “A million? Don’t you think that’s a bit low?”

Mandy was speechless.

“Don’t be ungrateful! It could take you years to earn that much as a newbie actress!”

“You need to learn to be content.”

“I…”

Before Mandy could finish her sentence, Astrid pulled out a black card from her bag and placed it on

the table.

And that shut Mandy up.

A black card!!! Astrid actually had a black card!

How’s that even possible?!

Anyone who had a black card wouldn’t even blink at a million.

But how could someone like Astrid have a black card? It must’ve been from Elio!

Just then, an assistant called from outside the door, “Ms. Mandy, it’s time for your rehearsal.” Mandy

As soon as she left, Gracie snatched the black card. “Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen a

mythical black card! Astrid, is this real? It’s not a fake, is it?”

Astrid said, “Of course it’s real.”

Gracie shouted, “Wow, that’s so extravagant!”

“Ms. Irvine, get ready for your rehearsal!” Lola’s voice came from the door. Gracie immediately

responded, “Okay, we’re coming.”

As they left the makeup room and headed towards the studio, they bumped into many celebrities.

Astrid didn’t know many of them, but because of Elio, they all greeted her.

She smiled and responded to each one of them.

Just as they were about to reach the studio, a person with a hat obscuring their face walked past her

and whispered, “Watch your back.”

She immediately turned around, but the person had already quickened their pace and disappeared

around the corner.
