Chapter 576: DECISION (I)
AFTER morning class ended, Astrid ate lunch as usual at the greenhouse. Kiran was the only one there with him since Snow had a filming schedule today. It was for a youth drama in which Snow managed to successfully get the role of the second male lead through audition.
That drama would probably air next month. Maybe just a week or so after the premier of [Serendipitous Summer]. He was confident that Snow would get a lot of good attention from the movie. After all, he was there and saw the other’s performance during filming.
As long as the youth drama he’s filming now had a good script and cast, then the probability of it having a good reception amongst the public would be high. Assuming that the movie would be a success, then it would definitely be a big boost to Snow’s popularity.
Astrid had really hoped that would be the case. Not just for Snow, but also for him. It’s his first starring movie after all. If it didn’t do well in the box office, producers might think that he’s not bankable enough to be leading a movie.
But honestly, he’s not really that worried about it. He had confidence with Director Hale and the rest of the production crew. He firmly believed that the post-production would only make the movie better.
Actually, there’s only one thing that’s worrying him right now. And no, it’s not whether he could play the role he wanted in the script he read last night. It actually had something to do with the message he received this morning. Just remembering it was already making his head hurt.
[Aster, can I meet you today? Any time is fine. Just… I hope we can meet, just the two of us. Preferably in a more private setting?]
[I didn’t mean anything weird by that. I promise. There’s just something I wanted to talk to you about.]
[You can send me the time and place.]
[Please, I hope you will grant this request.]
[I beg you.]
Those were the messages that Casey had sent him. Astrid hadn’t yet replied to any of them. Reading those messages and thinking of what happened yesterday at the manor, he could only think of one reason the other wanted to meet with him.
That his hunch was right and that the duke really did suspect that he was related to them.
The fact that Casey sent those messages in such a tone meant that it was no longer a suspicion, but more of a fact. Because why else would he be acting like that? Surely it wouldn’t just be because of something related to EMMA. The other could just let someone working for him to deal with things like that.
But no, he sent those cryptic messages instead, sounding very desperate. What else would Astrid think?
It was already noon, and he didn’t really know how to answer the other. Because if he was right and the Grimaldis now knew that he and Reas were related to them, he genuinely didn’t know what to do next.
He could just ignore it and act like he didn’t know anything. But things would end with just that? If he was indeed right and Cassius wanted to meet him because he found out that he was his nephew, then no. It wouldn’t end so easily by pretending to be ignorant. Maybe it would even escalate.
