Even though she was playing this game with her family where she wouldn’t use their money, she had This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
enough dough of her own
Plus, she barely knew Elio, no way could she shack up with him
Roman’s face soured the moment he heard Astrid’s rejection.
Astrid noticed it and immediately tried to cheer him up, ‘Roman, don’t be sad. You can come to see me
anytime
Roman seemed a bit happier hearing this He held out his little hand and made a pinky promise with
Astrid. Astrid chuckled at Roman’s serlous face and hooked her pinky with his.
Elio didn’t insist on her staying and just asked, “Ms Irvine, it’s a bit hard to get a cab right now. Where
are you heading? I can have my driver take you.”
Astrid didn’t hesitate, “I’m going to submit my résignation”
Ello just hummed in response and didn’t say anything more The air was filled with a chilly vibe. Astrid
looked at this cold man in front of her and made a face.
Poor Roman, having to deal with this ley face every day.
After dinner, the driver took Astrid away
Roman sat there with a sour face, staring at Elio as if he was asking, why didn’t you make her stay?
Elio didn’t bother with Roman. He just casually made a cup of tea in the yard and dialed Carson’s
number, “Carson, give Ms. Irvine a call later in the name of a real estate agent.” Real estate agent?
Carson, who had been with Elio for many years, Immediately caught his drift! Ello was setting a trap for
Astrid. Carson thought he was a straightforward guy who wouldn’t play games with women. Turned out
he
was wrong
In the car, Astrid downloaded a house renting app and posted a request, “Looking for a flat with two
bedrooms and a living room near the Imperial Tower. The place should be well–lit and preferably fully
furnished for immediate move–in.”
A call came in just a few minutes after she posted the request.
Astrid picked up immediately. “Hello?”
Carson, “Hello, I’m Alan from Signature Homes. Are you looking for a place?”
Astrid, “Yes. What do you have?”
Carson, “Whatever type of property you’re looking for. I’ve got it.”
Astrid couldn’t help but chuckle, “Wow, you’ve got everything? Impressive.”
Carson quickly responded, “Close to subway line, prime locations, spacious, luxury decor, ready for
you to move into! Apartments, villas, duplexes, whatever you need, I have it!”
Carson sounded so earnest that Astrid couldn’t refuse him. She told him her requirements and set a
time to view the property.
After hanging up, Carson immediately bought a property that met Astrid’s requirements and gave Ello
the address.
Oblivious to the fact that she had just escaped one trap only to fall into another, Astrid continued to play
mobile games with glee
As she was engrossed in her game, a message popped up on her screen.
Chad, [‘Astrid, the leader of Country of Erendor wants to see you.”]
Astrid, [“Tell him to wait.“]
Chad, [‘Astrid, do you have enough money? Want me to transfer another 10 million?“]
Chad, [‘Astrid, a lot of companies want to buy your new game.“]”
Chad, [‘Astrid…]
Message after message popped up, Interrupting Astrid’s game. She frowned in annoyance and replied,
“I’m gaming!”
Chad was in the office. He got so scared that he dropped his phone and didn’t dare to send any more
messages. Astrid hated it when people Interrupted her gaming.
After a while, Astrid finished a game round and messaged Chad, [‘Chad, how’s that thing from last time
going? Did you find the person you were looking for?“]
Chad, [‘Sorry Astrid, there’s been an emergency at the company, I’ve been so busy I forgot to look into
that guy…
Astrid, [“Huh… Are you asking for a pay cut?“]
Chad, [‘Alright, alright, Astrid, I’m on it, I’m on it…]
Chad looked at the pile of unprocessed paperwork, scratched his head, and swept it aside to open his
computer. Just as he was about to look into that guy, his phone rang again.
He glanced at the name on the screen. It was the leader of Erendor. He answered with a furrowed
brow, “Hello?!
The leader, “Hello, Chad, could you get Dr. Aster for me? I really need to talk to her about something
urgent.“,
Chad yawned lazily and replied, “She’s been pretty busy lately.”
The leader of Erendor, “What’s she busy with? I only need half a day of her time.’
Chad, “She’s… chasing her dream.”
The leader on the other side of the phone was puzzled, he couldn’t comprehend what kind of dream a
woman like her would be chasing.
Half an hour later, the Lampard family’s car arrived at the company.
Just as Astrid was about to get off, Sandra sent a message, “Astrid, you have nothing now, are you still
going to refuse my offer?”
