Dominic froze for a moment, and nodded when he realized Tammy was serious. He said, "Okay, fine."
Tammy handed the driver a bill before asking Dominic, "Can | have your cell phone number?"
"Sure." Dominic dialed his cell phone number into Tammy's phone

After getting back into the cab, Dominic made a phone call. "You'll get your money tomorrow," he said

"You haven't paid me back what you owed me last year," Frowning, Dominic said in dissatisfaction
"|'m so sorry. I've recently been losing money in my racing business."
"Are you sure you will not lose money next year?"
"Yeah! One of our team's competitors has qualified for this race! I'll be rich as soon as he wins first place in this competition."

After returning to her senses, Tammy said, "| heard Dominic isn't going to be in the pro league next year."
"What? Why?"
"He's retiring."
"No way!" Alicia said, pulling out a chair and sitting in it, "He's so young! Why would he want to retire at such a young age?"

Alicia noticed that Tammy was behaving strangely. Surprised, she asked, "Are you worried about him? Tammy, you're not his fan, are you?"
"Do you think that's possible?" Tammy asked, rolling her eyes
"I'm only kidding," Alicia replied. Then she said to herself, / Anow your only idol is Scott, Tammy. And there is no way that you're Dominic's fan!
Well, he has a lot of fans, though
Having collected her thoughts, Alicia sighed and explained, "Forget about it. | should think about what I'm going to say to Nelly about this."

Does anyone have extra advertising contracts right now? Amber has never taken an advertising contract before, and I'm worried for her as her assistant."
"Alicia, | want to help you, too," Nelly sighed, "But you see, the whole industry is in a slump right now, as it is this time of year. Maybe it will be better after next year's tournament."
"But didn't Pearl just see a toothpaste commercial? Her teeth aren't even white!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. The toothpaste companies love Pearl now. She's probably going to be in every toothpaste commercial in the future," Nelly whispered
"What were they thinking? She's just a mediocre live streamer!"
"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
