This time, she’d been called out directly, so Felicity had no choice but to force out an answer. “Yes,” she said stiffly.

She turned to Chase and asked, “Is there anything else we need to do?”

She couldn’t take this anymore. She just wanted today’s livestream to be over.

Chase smiled and said, “Today’s crossover livestream event between the two shows is finished. There’s nothing else planned.”

He asked deliberately, “Does Ms. Sterling have something else in mind?”

Today’s show trended multiple times, and views skyrocketed. Felicity definitely deserved some credit for that, even if it wasn’t the kind she wanted.

Felicity forced out a stiff smile. “No, I was just asking”

Chase didn’t push it any further. He said goodbye to the guests and viewers, and then the livestream ended.

The second the cameras cut, Felicity stood up with a cold expression. She didn’t say a word to anyone and left with her assistant.

Everyone else just pretended not to notice.

Alicia and Darren chatted with the trainees for a few minutes, said their goodbyes, and then headed back to the hotel.

Alicia had just reached the studio’s main entrance when Maxwell rushed up to her and asked, “Ally, I did pretty well today, didn’t I?”

He looked like a puppy begging for praise.

The others who’d been heading out suddenly slowed their pace, clearly hoping to catch some drama. They’d also noticed Maxwell had called her “Ally” instead of using her full name, which suggested a certain intimacy between them.

Alicia rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, “Who are you? Do I know you?”

Her expression made it clear she wanted nothing to do with him.

She’d meant it when she said she was cutting ties with them, and this wasn’t some joke.

If she gave him attention now, Nicole would definitely come crying to them later, and they’d feel sorry for her all over again.

Then they’d probably think Alicia had been too showy today, that she’d outshone Nicole and hurt her fragile feelings.

Maxwell hadn’t expected Alicia to treat him this way. He looked genuinely hurt and said, “Why are you being like this?”

Alicia rolled her eyes again and snapped, “If you’re sick, go to a hospital. Now move.” She grabbed Darren’s arm and quickly walked out.

Maxwell’s face darkened with anger.

Nicolas, who’d also been about to approach Alicia, stopped in his tracks.

Back at the hotel, Alicia opened X and scrolled through her feed.

Just as she’d expected, she was trending and had gained a massive wave of new followers. The comments section wasn’t filled with insults anymore either.

She sent Jason a message, and he replied almost instantly, asking if she wanted to have dinner together.

They could eat first and then go back to her room for acupuncture afterward.

Alicia agreed.

She rested in her hotel room until evening, then headed out.

The hotel’s top floor had a restaurant with excellent privacy, so they’d decided to meet there.

The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Nicolas and Maxwell walking out of the opposite elevator with Nicole between them. They came face to face.

Alicia glanced over at Nicole. Just as she’d expected, Nicole’s eyes were bloodshot and puffy. Nicole had clearly been crying her heart out.

‘Same old playbook, Alicia thought. ‘Works every single time, as long as Nicolas and Maxwell keep falling for it.’

All three of them froze when they spotted Alicia.

Nicolas and Maxwell both looked awkward and guilty, their discomfort written all over their faces.

Nicole, on the other hand, felt a surge of satisfaction.

‘I wonder if Alicia will lose it when she sees that Nicolas and Maxwell came here just to keep me company,’ Nicole thought smugly.

She plastered on a bright smile and called out, “Alicia! Are you eating alone? Why don’t you join us?”

Maxwell chimed in, “Yeah, come sit with us. We were actually planning to invite you anyway.”

Nicolas nodded and added, “Yeah, join us.”
