Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 93

Chapter 93

With a subtle smile, Astrid strutted her way to the stage.

The moment she stood on the stage, Locke, the magician who had been glued to his phone game, almost dropped his phone in shock.

His stunning assistant, seeing his unusual behavior, asked curiously, "What's up?"

Locke, gazing at the girl on the stage, said blankly, "I've seen her; I can't believe I got to see her in my lifetime!"

"Huh?" the assistant looked puzzled, "Who is she?"

On stage, Noreen handed the microphone to Astrid, "Astrid, what song are you going to sing?"

"I'm not singing; my singing is just awful. If you guys want a show, how about I perform a magic trick?" As soon as Astrid said this, the crowd showed their disdain.

After all, Locke was a master magician. They had already seen professional magic shows and had no interest in Astrid's amateur magic performance!

They thought it was just some simple card tricks.

However, Locke was thrilled. Just seeing her in his lifetime was enough, but if he could work on a magic trick with her, he could brag about it for a year!!

Despite his excitement, Locke remembered his master's advice not to reveal her identity.

Locke, looking at Astrid, who was within arm's reach, rushed towards her, "Ms. Irvine, can be your assistant?"

What's gotten into Locke? He actually wants to be Astrid's assistant?

He looked like a fanboy meeting his idol.

Astrid glanced at him, shaking her head, and said, "Thanks, but I don't need an assistant. I can do it on my own."

Everyone was surprised again.

Astrid actually rejected Locke??

What's going on?

Not only was Locke good at magic, but he was also a looker, so he had many fans.

There were some female celebrities in the crowd who were his fans. They were pissed to see Astrid making him uncomfortable, "This woman really doesn't know how good she has it, actually rejecting Locke!" "She thinks she's all that, just because she's got a pretty face? There are tons of beauties in showbiz!"

"Just looking at her annoys me!"

The atmosphere got a little weird, not because Astrid dissed Locke but because her magic trick was so simple that she didn't need an assistant.

"Ms. Irvine, please, let me stand by your side; let me be closer to you." Locke looked at Astrid with hopeful eyes, he was practically begging her..

At that moment, Astrid suddenly remembered where she had seen this guy before. A photo... She saw him in a group photo from her training.

"Alright, then you can help me prepare some balloon-themed props." Astrid was skilled in a variety of magic tricks, but the balloon-themed ones were the simplest, easy to perform, and always a hit. Since everyone's expectations were not high, any trick she performed would be a pleasant surprise.

When Astrid agreed, Locke was so happy that he did a little twirl on the stage, "Thank you so much; I'll get right on it!"

The audience was surprised by his behavior.

Was he really that happy?

It was just being an assistant, right?

Why the heck did he do a twirl on stage?
