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

And he smiled as he watched the two girls walk together toward the building. He thought, 7hat's interesting. | must say that knowing you two is much more interesting than signing the contract. I'm looking forward to seeing you again, Amber

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

"Really? Wow! Thanks! | promise I'll pay you back the money with interest by the end of the year."

"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."

Then Dominic calmly looked out the window and said, "I like your optimistic attitude." wee

Later, Tammy and Alicia returned to the office together. And Alicia said

552 | Own This Place to Tammy anxiously, "We really don't have much to lose, do we? Dominic is the most well-known player here! You’re honored to be able to compete with him. Right, Tammy?"

Noticing that Tammy remained silent, Alicia turned around. And then, she saw Tammy daydreaming. Raising one of her brows, Alicia snapped her fingers in front of Tammy's eyes, asking loudly, "What are you doing? You've been preoccupied all day. What's the problem?"

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?"

Instead of answering Alicia's questions, Tammy shook her head. She had no idea what was going on as well

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." Then she was lostin thought, Since losing the last contract, I've been anxious every day. And | begged Nelly of the company's business department for a contract every day after that. Unfortunately, many celebrities in the entertainment industry are scrambling at the time for

5521 Own This Place advertising contracts. As a result, at the end of the year, few companies are willing to sign contracts with eSports players. Gosh... What should | do now? Why hasn't anyone told me before that this job would be so difficult?

wae

Since she arrived at work in the morning, Alicia had been sitting in Nelly's office. And she asked Nelly in a pleading tone, "Can you help me think of another way? 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

5521 Own This Place

"That's not going to work. Amber won't do that," Alicia said, shaking her head

"Then there's nothing | 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, | do. But | 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

552 | Own This Place 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?"

"| don't need to go in. | 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

552 | Own This Place "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, "| wanted to check if | 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 | had no idea he was the Carousel Group's president then!"
