422 ASH AND LELE'S LITTLE CONVERSATION

ASH gulped after hearing that. He certainly didn't want that. But he also couldn't just tell his friend's brother to call his own brother. What if Reas thought the same as him? It took so long for them to be friends. Knowing that guy, he would definitely throw him out of their dorm room if he suspected that his brother had designs for his brother. 

[Can you at least just tell me why you want Astrid to call you?]

[Don't worry. It's nothing personal. Let's just say that it's for business.]

Business? What kind of business could an army lieutenant want with a newbie actor? Wait- could it be...?

[Is the army releasing a new Mecha model? Do you want to get Astrid as an endorser?]

This guess wasn't totally unfounded. It's not like there wasn't any precedent before. In fact, the current number one on the Star List had endorsed a special Mecha model before.
