“Actually, she’s the most beautiful female e-sports streamer now. At least the ranking list says so,” With a shrug, Nelly responded.
“She’s the most live streamer?! Really? Amber is ten times prettier than her! Whoever made the list must be joking, right?” Alicia nearly snapped.
“If Amber hadn’t refused to let people see what she looks like, she could’ve replaced Pearl. Seriously, if Amber was willing to release her photos, her fan base would be much larger than it is now. And she would receive advertising contracts every day.
“That’s not going to work. Amber won’t do that,” Alicia said, shaking her head.
“Then there’s nothing I can do for you, dear,” Nelly said as she walked out the door.
“Nelly!” Alicia stomped her foot in frustration as she watched Nelly’s figure vanish through the office door. She muttered, “Why do people care so much about other people’s looks nowadays?”
After calming herself down, Alicia walked out of Nelly’s office. As soon as she shut the door and turned around, she saw Tammy, who didn’t seem to be in a bit of a hurry. Anxious, Alicia said to Tammy, “Tammy, for real? The tournament is three months away! Aren’t you nervous about it? Do you have any idea how important it is for you to get advertising deals done?”
Well, actually, I do. But I don’t need advertising deals. After all, I’m rich. Though Tammy wanted to speak her mind out loud, she swallowed her words back when seeing Alicia’s blushed face. And Tammy found it amusing when she realized how anxious Alicia was. “You don’t have to be in such a rush, Alicia. I’m going to take you somewhere right now, and you can help me sign a contract,” she said.
“Really? You?” Alicia asked, frozen.
Tammy immediately put down her video game and said, “Yes. Let’s go.”
“Where are we going?”
“Are you going, or are you not going? Do you really want that contract?”
“All right, let’s go!”
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Carousel Group’s headquarters. Looking at the building in front of them, Alicia asked, “Is this the place you told me about?”
“Yes!” With a smug, Tammy replied.
Alicia took a deep breath to keep herself from passing out. Then she uttered, “Tammy, you can’t just do whatever you want because you’re a famous live streamer. Do you know what kind of place this is?”
“Isn’t this just the Carousel Group?” Tammy asked as she found Alicia’s words hilarious.
“So, you know what kind of place this is! Can we really collaborate with them? Stop daydreaming. Tammy, When you become famous, I’ll try to get you a contract with them,” Alicia said sincerely
Trying hard to hold back her laughter, Tammy almost stammered, “You haven’t even gotten inside the building! What makes you think it won’t work?”
“I don’t need to go in. I just know it won’t work,” Looking at Tammy in disbelief, Alicia nearly rolled her eyes at her.
“What if it will work?”
“Huh? You own this place?” Again, Alicia asked in disbelief.
“Yeah.”
“And you are…” Looking at Tammy’s serious look, Alicia suddenly thought of something. She looked at the Carousel Group’s logo and then at Tammy. “Really? You own this place?!”
Tammy nodded. “Let’s go. It’s freezing outside.”
Then Tammy strolled into the luxurious lobby with Alicia. Alicia was completely frozen, and it took her a long time to follow Tammy.
The receptionist treated Tammy with great respect. She jogged over to them and helped them press the elevator button.
“Is my brother at work today?” Tammy asked the receptionist.
“Yes, he came here early this morning.”
“Great! We’ll just go up on our own. Thanks.”
“Okay.”
Alicia followed Tammy into the elevator, even if she couldn’t believe the fact. And then she followed Tammy, who walked quickly through the corridor and into the president’s office.
“Where’s my brother?” Tammy asked a secretary as soon as she reached the door of the office.
“Miss Wright, hello. Mr. Wright’s still holding a meeting right now. You are welcome to wait here for a moment. I’ll tell him that you’re here.”
“That’s fine. We’ll wait for him here.” Nodding, Tammy answered with a polite smile.
After the secretary left, Alicia pinched her thigh, assuming that she was dreaming.
Seeing that, Tammy asked in surprise, “What are you doing, Alicia?”
Alicia replied, rubbing her thigh, “I wanted to check if I was dreaming. And it turns out that I’m not dreaming. But there must be a problem with my brain.”
Rolling her eyes, Tammy asked, “What are you doing? You have already met my brother, haven’t you?”
“But I had no idea he was the Carousel Group’s president then!”
Curling the corners of her lips upward, Tammy began to eat the cookies. She said, “I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you this. I’m giving you an opportunity to talk to my brother.”
“What should I say to him then?” Alicia asked nervously.
“About advertising contract, of course!”
“Me?” Alicia exclaimed in surprise.
As Tammy and Alicia were talking inside the office, they heard someone walk toward them, saying, “Mr. Wright! Tammy and her friend are waiting for you in your office.”
“OK.” With that, Matthew walked into the office.
The instant she saw Matthew, Tammy raised the cookie in her hand and smiled at him.
“Hello,” Alicia said as she stood up.
Matthew gave her a nod. “Have we met before?”
“You remember her, don’t you? Wow! I thought you wouldn’t remember her!” Tammy made a playful expression.
“You’d remember her too if she hit you with a plunger,” Matthew said. Then he placed a credit card on the table, adding, “I’m sorry, but I have some work to do now. There’s a mall nearby, so you could go there first and hang out. After I finish working, I’ll take you guys out to dinner.”
“We’re not here to have dinner with you. Tell him what we’re here for, Alicia.” Nudging Alicia, Tammy said to her.
“We… Ummm…” Nervous and embarrassed, Alicia stuttered.
“You what?” With a frown, Matthew asked a bit impatiently.
Somehow, Alicia couldn’t help but recall the awkward scene when they first met. And she said, “Nothing! We passed through the building, so we decided to drop by and say hello. That’s all!” She then quickly picked up her bag and continued, “You’re busy, aren’t you? We’ll leave right now.”
