Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 308

“Alright, I’m going back to sleep, good night.” yawned Gracie, looking a bit pooped.

Astrid stretched out lazily, but inside, she was feeling a bit irritable.

All she wanted was to snag the Best Actress award, but it seemed so difficult, Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

It’s like there was always someone getting in her way.

Astrid didn’t know when she had fallen asleep, but when Gracie called to wake her up the next day, she

was sleepy.

But thinking about the loads of scenes she still had to shoot, she dragged herself out of bed.

After a few days of snow, the weather finally cleared up.

The sun wasn’t exactly warm, but it felt good on her skin.

“Astrid, we’ve got a few fight scenes today. To avoid any accidents, please let a stand–in shoot those

scenes for you.” Worried about Astrid, Gaines suggested again that she used a stand–in.

Astrid shook her head, “No need. Just get the fight choreographer to run me through the moves. I

should be fine.”

“Alright, give it a shot. If it doesn’t work, we’ll bring in the stand–in.” He repeatedly reminded her to be

careful, then left.

After a while, the fight choreographer, Fabian, arrived. He looked at Astrid’s thin figure and said with

concern. “Ms. Irvine, are you sure? We’ve got a stand–in. Even the leading man is using a stand–in.

You don’t have to work so hard.”

“No problem. I learned martial arts for a while. So I should be able to get started quickly. Just teach me

the moves. I want to rehearse with my partners beforehand, otherwise, I’m afraid I might hurt them,”

Astrid’s words made Fabian chuckle.

Hurt someone?

He’d be happy if she didn’t get hurt by others.

Fabian said, “There’s a horseback fight scene this afternoon. I still recommend you use a stand–in. It’s

genuinely dangerous.”

“No need, honestly. When I was learning horseback riding at the equestrian club, even the coach said I

had a knack for it. I ride pretty well, Astrid was telling the truth, but Fabian thought she was joking, so

he didn’t take it seriously.

Astrid insisted on doing it by herself, so Fabian began to instruct her.

The other actors watching the hard–working Astrid couldn’t help but laugh. “Is Astrid losing it? Is she

trying to play the committed professional?” The supporting actress, Iris, laughed, “Didn’t you see

Gaines praising her every day? Everyone else is using a stand–in, but she wants to stand out.” “Aikin,

you have a scene with her later. Will you show mercy?”

Aikin smirked, “I won’t.”

Iris laughed, “You’re a famous martial arts star. If you don’t hold back, won’t you hurt her?”

“She’s been told to use a stand–in, but she won’t. If anything happens, she can’t blame anyone else.”

Aikin looked at the hard–working Astrid in the distance, his expression complicated.

At lunch break, Astrid was still practicing her moves.

As soon as Aikin arrived on set, Fabian ran over to him, “Aikin, could you rehearse the fight scene with

Astrid in advance?”

“Fabian, how did you get hurt?” Aikin looked at the bruise on Fabian’s face. He was furious. “Did Astrid

forget her moves and hit you?”

“Not at all. It’s my fault,” Fabian felt a bit embarrassed. He couldn’t admit he’d been defeated by Astrid

during practice.

Fabian patted Aikin’s shoulder, “All in all, you’d better rehearse with her. Otherwise, you might get hurt.”
