Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 485

The casual onlookers, who had been cheerfully watching Astrid set up her tent, suddenly couldn't sit

still any longer.

[Dude, don't freak me out, I'm a scaredy-cat!] one of them wailed.

[Come on, we're all educated folks here, let's keep our cool!]

[Holy smokes, I see it too! Check out the 34-minute mark, there's definitely something there!]

As the chat lit up with these comments, everyone leaned in closer to their screens.

Maddox and his crew, afraid something serious might be going down, quickly switched the camera

angle to take a look.

The woods were dead quiet, save for the soft rustling of leaves in the wind.

Maddox peered into the monitor for a while but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Just as he was about to switch back, he saw something flash across the screen!

The crew stiffened up, "Boss, there's definitely something out there!"

Maddox tried to keep the mood light, "Relax, guys. What century are we in to still believe in ghosts? It's

got to be someone messing with us. Let's go check it out."

The team agreed, "Alright."

The online viewers were shivering in their seats, so Maddox turned on his mic and said, "Don't be

scared, folks. I'm gonna go find this 'ghost' and give it a piece of my mind."

The audience chimed in, [Be careful, Mr. Maddox!]

[Why don't you bring Astrid along? We want to see her kick some ghost butt!]

[Pfft, you think Astrid can do anything?]

[Hey, my Astrid can definitely do anything. Even a ghost would take a detour around her!]

[LOL, please don't put Astrid on such a high pedestal.]

[Blood oath here for Mr. Maddox to bring Astrid!]

[Seconding that blood oath, Mr. Maddox, bring Astrid along!]

The screen was soon flooded with hundreds of these 'blood oaths,' and Maddox felt cornered.

He had no choice but to go fetch Astrid.

When he found her, she was in the middle of dinner. She looked up at Maddox with a smile, "Hey,

Director, have you had dinner yet?"

"Nope." Maddox didn't beat around the bush and laid it out, "We saw something weird on the feed, and

I'm taking a team to check it out. But the audience has created a petition for you to join us and 'rip apart

a ghost with your bare hands.'"

Astrid choked on her laughter, "Director, you believe that stuff too?"

Maddox grinned, "So, want to join us for a ghost hunt?"

"Of course! Let me at it. I'll catch that ghost and grill it for dinner; I've never tasted ghost before."

Parrish burst out laughing, "Astar, you really will eat anything, huh? Wait up, I'm coming too!" He

downed his soup in one gulp, stood up, and grabbed Clyde, "Let's go, we're going to see the world with

the Astar."

Clyde nodded, "Sure."

Naylor and Odell stood up too, and Joana started panicking, "You're all going? And leave me here

alone? What if the ghost comes after me?"

Everyone exchanged glances.

The chat went wild, [I can't take it, I want to throttle Joana!]

[We're here to see Astrid catch and eat a ghost, not listen to her dilly-dally. Where's the sergeant with

my cannon?] This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

[Does she really think there are ghosts?]

Astrid didn't want to waste time with Joana so she simply said, "If you're scared, come with us."

"Okay." Joana was terrified at the thought of ghost hunting, but the idea of being alone was even

worse.

Astrid bent down, rummaged through her bag, armed herself with various tools and what looked like

pepper spray, grabbed a flashlight, and said, "Let's go, Mr. Maddox. Lead the way."
