Chapter 552 You Stole Our Contract!
The weather was getting warmer as Christmas approached
After she lost that opportunity, Alicia was worried every day. She did, however, gain some weight from eating delicious food with Tammy every day
“If | fail again this time, you can fire me,” Alicia said to Tammy
Tammy looked at her phone as she followed Alicia to the elevator. She asked, without looking up, “Huh? Why?”
“Because | feel like I’ve ruined your career. Nelly gave us such a great opportunity, but we lost it. It’s such a shame!”
“Why are you so worried? I’m your boss, and I’ve said nothing about it
Nobody is gonna fire you,” With a pout, Tammy replied
know you’re not interested in making money, but…” Alicia had no idea how she should express her thoughts. So she could only keep them to herself, Many people became live streamers to make money. However, as a rich girl, you’re not short on cash and only play e-sports because you enjoy it, Tammy. You don’t want to make money from it but | do! Also, |! want to have my own career
Awhile later, Alicia and Tammy left the elevator together. As soon as they walked to the reception, Alicia put on a polite smile and said to the receptionist, “Hello, I’m Amber’s assistant. We have a meeting with Louise to talk about the keyboard ad.”
Hearing that, the receptionist appeared unsure of what to do. She glanced toward the office and said hesitantly, “Please wait a moment. I’ll call her right now.”

“All right.”
“Hello, Louise. Amber’s here.” The receptionist said after the call was answered. She then sighed and quickly hung up the phone. In an apologetic tone, she said to Tammy and Alicia, “Sorry, ladies. Louise said that she has signed the contract with someone else.”
“What?! When did that happen? Louise texted me last night and asked me to bring Amber here to sign the contract today! What on earth is going on?” Alicia asked, surprised
“| sincerely apologize for it. They had only signed the contract five minutes ago. Our president chose this KOL, who is also an e-sports player
Actually, Louise has no control over the situation.”
Alicia frowned, thinking she couldn’t let this go. “Who is that person? Who could be as attractive and well-known as Amber? She’s in the top ten for that game on the charts!”
“Sorry. Although Amber is stunning, this commercial does not require her to take photographs. The point is that Amber is not as well-known as this player.”
“Who is it then?”
“Dominic. You’ve probably heard of him.”
Hearing that, Alicia was shocked. She had heard of him because he was one of the most well-known e- sports players. Tammy was wearing headphones and playing a game at the time. When she felt Alicia poke her, she removed one of her headsets and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Alicia was about to say something when she noticed a boy leaving the office. It was a young boy dressed in a black trench coat. As he walked, he slowly put on his sunglasses, like a movie star. And he walked past them, ignoring Alicia’s stunned expression
“Is that Dominic?” Alicia asked, turning to face the receptionist Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
551 You Stole Our Contract! “That’s right,” the receptionist said, nodding
Wide-eyed, Alicia, asked, “Really? But | thought he sounded like a tough guy. Why is he so…”
“| have no idea about that. Sorry.” The receptionist chipped in
“Is he the one who stole our contract”
The receptionist replied, “Yes and no. Louise said she was glad you two came here. We will reimburse your travel expenses.”
“Okay,” Nodding, Alicia responded with an awkward smile
Before she could say anything else, Tammy took Alicia’s hand and ran
Then she yelled, “You don’t have to pay me. Bye!”
Tilemail you my credit card number,” Alicia said, waving her hand
“Tammy, please wait for me. Why are you walking so quickly? They’ll cover the cost of our taxi bills.”
“Come on, let me buy you lunch to celebrate,” Tammy said as she put on her headphones
“For what?” Puzzled, Alicia asked
“For the fact that you blew your second chance to sign me a contract.”
“I’m so sorry! You can fire me now, Tammy,” Alicia said
“Nobody is going to fire you!”
They waved at a cab approaching in the distance. However, another person stopped the car before getting to the two of them
Alicia frowned and exclaimed angrily, “Hey! We stopped the car first!” She then yanked on the car door and stopped that person
The man froze, turned around, and removed his headset. He looked at Alicia, puzzled, and asked, “What?”
Alicia froze as soon as she saw the man’s face. “It’s you again?” she

exclaimed. You stole our contract a few minutes ago! Why are you stealing our cab now? she thought
“What’s the matter?” Dominic asked, perplexed
Alicia became even more enraged. She pointed to the cab and said, “We stopped this cab first! Do you have to do this?”
“I’m sorry, | didn’t see you stop the car,” Dominic said as he froze
“What? You want me to provide evidence, don’t you? You just stole our contract, and now you’re stealing our taxi! Did you do it on purpose?”
Alicia shouted
“Your contract? Who are you?” Dominic turned to face Alicia, then to Tammy behind her
“Sorry. My friend is having a bad day today. You can leave now,” Tammy said
Hearing that, Alicia froze and even thought she had heard it wrong. In her mind, Tammy had always been the most indignant one whenever this situation happened. But she was acting strangely today
“Are you all right?” Alicia asked, her gaze fixed on Tammy
“We can take another car,” Tammy said calmly. She then took a step back as if attempting to avoid Dominic
“Wait! It’s rush hour, so it’s hard to get a cab. We can take this car together, if you don’t mind?” Dominic asked
“Do you know where we’re going?” Alicia asked
“No, but I can give you a ride.”
Alicia wanted to say something else, but Tammy was ready to get in the car
“Tammy!” Alicia shouted and thought to herself as she watched
Tammy get into the back seat, What on earth is going on here? Why are you
551 You Stole Our Contract! behaving so strangely today, Tammy?
“We’re going to the Central Avenue,” Tammy said to the driver after entering the cab
Sitting in the passenger seat, Dominic looked at Tammy in the rearview mirror after hearing that. He assumed that Tammy was under the age of 18. At that time, she was dressed in a white down jacket with headphones around her neck. She was staring at her phone and didn’t seem to want to talk to anyone
Then Dominic asked, “What did you mean when you said | stole your contract just now? Were they originally planning to sign with you?”
Alicia gave him a stern look and said, “Didn’t you just notice us? We came here today just to sign that damn contract.”
“Are you Amber?”
Hearing Dominique’s question, Tammy finally stopped staring at her phone and raised her head. Just when she was about to answer the question, Alicia asked warily before her, “Huh? How do you know that?”
“Louise just told me,” Dominic explained
Tammy put her phone down and asked seriously, “Do you know me?”
“I’ve seen your commentary live. | thought you did a good job.”
“Thanks.”
“Of course! No one is better than Amber!” Alicia said
After they arrived at their destination, Alicia asked before leaving the car, “How much is it?”
“I’ll pay for it,” Dominic said without hesitation
Alicia had just been expecting him to say that. “Thank you!” she
