Chapter 18
Lexie saw everything happen, she realized that a lot of the stuff people were saying online was just false.
They were saying that Phoebe was all over Reece and that he couldn’t wait to get away from her. But from what went down just now, it was clear that Phoebe was the one who didn’t want to be with Reece and ended things on her own
If Lexie hadn’t been there. Reece might have had to forcefully stop Phoebe. So basically, what was happening in real life was the opposite of what was being said online
When Phoebe got back to the room, she didn’t bring up Reece at all. Lexie was really curious about it, but she didn’t ask because it was kind of private.
Early the next morning. Phoebe got up and headed to the yard to get some exercise in. When the shooting crew arrived, they caught her wrapping up her routine.
Sebastian, who knew Phoebe from her heroics in saving his wife, greeted her with a smile and asked, “Why didn’t you wait for the live broadcast to start your performance?”
Phoebe showed off some serious martial arts skills, and it was really captivating to watch. The best part was that those in the know could tell it wasn’t just some flashy routine she’d picked up in a few months.
It would definitely attract a lot of viewers if it was shown during the live broadcast.
Phoebe confidently replied, “Gold will always shine.”
It was the second day of the live broadcast, and some people were still not feeling her. Phoebe didn’t feel the need to rush into the limelight. Too much was as bad as too little.
Sebastian was surprised at how calm she was. “You have a really good attitude,” he said. Then, he suggested, “Can we do a live broadcast next time you do this? Maybe even record a video to release beforehand?”
That would help Phoebe leave a good impression on the audience and also hype up the show,
Phoebe was grateful and said, “Okay, thank you, Sebastian.”
The shooting crew overheard their conversation and realized that Phoebe and Sebastian knew each other and that Sebastian was taking good care of her. After that, they started treating Phoebe with more respect.
At that moment, some folks came out and got ready to freshen up. With no phones or other entertainment, they all had to hit the hay early and wake up early. The live broadcast started at 7:30,
Maddox glanced at his three buddies and asked, “Are we grabbing breakfast today?”
Phoebe checked her watch and said, “We’re going to help pick peaches. Let’s see if we can score some breakfast too. We can bring back some food and cook for ourselves later.
They brought back four dishes from Charles‘ place, so they felt awkward asking for more. Maddox and the others agreed, “Sounds good.”
If they woke up super early and skipped breakfast, they were gonna be starving later, and they wouldn’t make it through work without some food. Just as they were about to leave, the other team walked out of the room.
Jamar looked at Maddox and asked, “Are you heading out to find work?” He added, “We asked loads of households yesterday, so it should be easier to find work today.”
This meant they could find work first, after all, Maddox’s team was just starting.
Maddox said proudly, “We’re not looking for work now. We already have a gig lined up and will head there directly,”
Hearing his words, Jamar and the others looked surprised. Jamar asked, “When did you find the job?”
Jamar asked in disbelief, “Wait, you’re telling me you’ve already lined up a week’s worth of work?”
