Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 506

The new guests hadn't arrived yet, so it was just Astrid and her friends, foraging for wild vegetables and picking berries. Aside from the absence of meat, life was good. During the interview segment, Astrid had barely sat down when Maddox asked, "Astrid, who do you hope will be our new guest?"

Astrid replied nonchalantly, "Anyone's fine by me."

Maddox continued, "I heard you once set up a songwriting session with the famous Johnnie. Planning on releasing a new hit?” Astrid sighed, "I wish. But even a talent like Johnnie is too scared to write for me. Guess I might never get to sing my song."

Maddox was speechless.

Astrid then tossed a question back at him, "You mentioned once that you liked the lead singer of a band, Nathan, right?"

The mention of Nathan instantly perked up Elio as he waited his turn for the interview.

Astrid was taken aback, "So you got Nathan? Isn't he known for avoiding variety shows?"

Maddox grinned, "He claims he's a fan of yours."

Astrid was suspicious and speechless.

She couldn't help but feel that Nathan had an ulterior motive for joining the show.

She hadn't seen him in a while and admittedly missed the guy.

But she figured Nathan probably didn't come to his volition. It was likely that her older brother Robb had sent him as a spy to keep an eye on Elio. Astrid was spot on.

Meanwhile, in the Brooke household, the brothers were gathered for a meeting, with Dale sneakily recording a video from behind the curtains. After all, it wasn't every day that the power players were all in one room.

Jon complained bitterly, "Robb, why did you send Nathan to the show? Am I not famous enough? I'm the 'Prince of eSports' after all!"

Robb shook his head, "You're not cut out for it, too close to Star. She could easily turn you."

"Even though Nathan is close to her too, he has more willpower and won't betray us."

Jon fumed silently.

Brandon interjected, "Elio is getting too bold, kissing Star on live stream. Every time I watch I grind my teeth in anger, wishing I could jump through the screen and give him a piece of my mind!" The conversation was flowing until Robb suddenly turned to Dale, "Idiot, I asked you to look into why the live stream cut out yesterday. Got any leads?"

Dale nodded, "It was Jay's doing, but Elio was prepared. He caught them red-handed, and our guys didn't even have to step in."

"Dale, I think your resolve is weakening. We need to protect Star from Elio. As her agent, you've got a hefty responsibility," Jon said, patting Dale on the shoulder.

Dale quickly hid his phone and assured, "I know. I won't betray her, you can count on that."

He then asked, "Oh, Jon, what about Colton Fortner? I haven't seen you guys together lately."

At the mention of the name, all eyes turned to Jon.

Jon smiled, "He is recovered and doesn't need my protection anymore. Let's focus on Elio, shall we?"

Rickon chimed in, "Jay failed once, he'll try again. To prevent any danger to Star, I've decided to bring in Nash and handle him personally."

Nash, who had been quiet, suddenly unzipped his backpack, revealing its contents, "I'm all set. Just tell me how do you want him gone?"
