Chapter 154
"I am." replied Anthea.
Dahlia continued, "We're calling to inform you that in two months, RealTimeFlow will be celebrating its third anniversary with a gala event. We would be honored if you could join us."
Lately, Anthea's star had been rising at an astonishing rate. Plus, with a big scandal breaking out, it was clear as day that there's no such thing as bad publicity. The platform wanted to milk this for all it was worth!
On the other hand, they were also trying to figure out if Anthea was the next Snow White of the streaming world.
Anthea wasn't keen on attending such soirees, so she replied with a polite, "Thanks, I'll think about it."
A soft chuckle came from Dahlia before she added, "The electronic invite has been sent to your email. Please check it when you get a chance, and we'd love to see you at the party."
"Sure thing."
On the flip side...
Dahlia had just hung up when Rebecca blurted out, "So, is she coming or what?"
Shaking her head, Dahlia looked at Rebecca's face on the screen and said, "Doesn't look like it. Seems she's too chicken to show up."
Dahlia, the director at RealTimeFlow, also happened to be good friends with Rebecca. When Dahlia was on a business trip in Cloudcrest and got mugged, stabbed by a thug, it was Rebecca who
happened to pass by and call the cops just in time. If it weren't for her, Dahlia might have been a goner. That was the reason why Rebecca managed to sign with RealTimeFlow so easily.
Hearing the news, Rebecca's laugh was a mix of mischief and triumph, "Knew it. She wouldn't dare show up."
She sneered, then quickly switched gears, "Dahlia, I heard Mr. Robinson is coming to the event, right?" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Daniel Robinson was the big boss at RealTimeFlow, and if he was coming, it meant Mr. Christensen would too.
Dahlia nodded, "Yep, it's the third anniversary, so not only the big boss but all the shareholders will be there. We'll be live-streaming it across the platform."
Then Dahlia turned the tables, "How about you, Rebecca? You're gonna grace us with your presence, right? It is your first year with RealTimeFlow, after all."
Rebecca nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I've promised my fans."
"Then you'll definitely be the belle of the ball!" Dahlia exclaimed, well aware that despite the plethora of female streamers on their platform, very few could hold a candle to Rebecca's beauty.
"Dahlia, you love teasing me," Rebecca countered, feigning modesty. "There are plenty more beautiful than me. How could I possibly steal the show?"
But Dahlia was earnest, "I'm not just flattering you, Rebecca. With your looks and your gaming skills, who on our platform could surpass you?"
There was an unmistakable gleam of pride in Rebecca's eyes. Just like a superstar, she was born to outshine everyone else. If not her, then who?
The day Mr. Christensen would fall head over heels for her was inching closer.
"Oh, by the way," Dahlia's eyes twinkled with mischief, "Mr. Robinson is still single, Rebecca. With your stunning looks..." The implication was clear.
Daniel? Rebecca dismissed the thought with an inner scoff. Compared to Mr. Christensen, what was Daniel? At best, a servant!
"Dahlia, you're joking again," Rebecca blushed for effect. "I'm nowhere near Mr. Robinson's league."
Dahlia took it as coyness, "I'm tight with Mr. Robinson. When you come down to Capital City, I'll introduce you two. Even if romance doesn't spark, friendship is always good."
Just as Rebecca was fretting over how to network her way up to Daniel, Dahlia offered to be the bridge. Perfect!
Daniel already had a good impression of her, and now she could use this 'stepping stone' to get closer to Mr. Christensen.
"Alright, I gotta go. See you in two months, in Capital City," Dahlia said, wrapping up the conversation.
RealTimeFlow's headquarters were in Capital City, hence the choice for the venue of the anniversary gala.
Rebecca nodded, "See you in Capital City."
As the video call ended, Rebecca began browsing through a collection of dazzling gowns.
