As Alicia got into the car, Jason noticed Nicolas waiting by the gate nearby.

Once the car started moving, Jason turned to Alicia.

He asked, “Did they show up again?”

Alicia replied, “Yep.”

She added, “Mrs. Moore came to me and said she wants me and Nicolas to get engaged at Old Man Hammond’s birthday bash.”

Jason raised an eyebrow. “So this was Nicolas’s idea, huh?”

He figured Nicolas must’ve realized Alicia was serious about moving on, so he was in a rush to lock her down with an engagement.

But once someone was gone, they were gone for good.

Nicolas never knew how to cherish what he had, so losing her was what he deserved.

Alicia replied, “I think so.”

She smirked and added, “But I already turned them down. If they’re so set on a family alliance, they can go talk to Nicole instead.”

Jason couldn’t help but laugh. “That suggestion of yours is just going to make the Moore family even more unwilling to accept Nicole.”

Setting aside the fact that Nicolas and Alicia practically grew up together, Alicia’s the true heiress here.

Just the fact that Alicia owns six percent of Hammond Group-Nicole can’t even come close to that.

By making that suggestion, Alicia was basically letting the Moore family know that Nicole had played a key role in driving a wedge between her and Nicolas.

Alicia leaned back lazily in her seat. “Some things just aren’t hers for the taking, no matter how much she wants them.”

Even if Alicia didn’t want those things herself, she’d make sure Nicole never got her hands on them.

They chatted for a while longer.

Jason said, “You’ve really turned things around on this variety show. No one’s calling you

‘deadweight’ anymore.”

He added, “The next episode airs in a week. Other than that, is there anything else to do?”

“Two other variety shows have sent you invites. Interested?

“Or maybe you’re thinking about getting into acting?”

Alicia replied, “I want to focus on acting. I’m done with variety shows.”

She added, “I’ve always preferred acting over singing or dancing.”

Jason looked surprised. “You actually like acting? Did you take classes for it?”

Knowing Alicia, if she was into something, she’d always make sure to be fully prepared before jumping in.

Alicia nodded. “Besides singing and dancing, I’ve been privately learning acting from two professors at the film academy for the past two years.”

She met one of them when she helped him with a health problem, and he introduced her to the other.

She hadn’t told anyone about it, not even her manager.

Jason said, “Alright, I get it. Let me see what scripts are out there for you.”

“And if nothing good comes up, I’ll just fund a movie for you myself.”

He owned his own investment company, totally separate from Lucent Media.

Alicia turned to him with a playful smile. “Aren’t you worried your investment might bomb?”

Jason just shrugged. “No big deal. I’ve got more money than I know what to do with.

“Besides, I know you’ll do great.”

Then he grinned, “Who knows, maybe you’ll even help me rake in a fortune. I’ve got a flawless record in the investment world, you know”

Alicia rolled her eyes at him. “You’re really making me want to hate the rich, you know. Keep showing off and I’ll join the ‘eat the rich’ club.”

Honestly, this guy was just too good at making money-at this point, cash was probably nothing more than numbers on a screen to him.

Jason chuckled. “If I’m not mistaken, aren’t you pretty loaded yourself?”
