Chapter 95

When Rebecca got back upstairs, she found Jane waiting for her in the break room.

Jane asked casually, “How’d it go? You good?”

“Yeah, I’m good,” Rebecca replied honestly.

Alexander had been beaten down by Jessica once, and Rebecca had confidence that he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on her.

Jane said, “Stay with me tonight. If anyone tries anything, I’ve got your back.”

Rebecca couldn’t help feeling curious.

Jane asked, “What’s up?”

Rebecca said, “If trouble really comes tonight, it’ll probably be from someone with more power than Alexander. I should take care of it myself.”

Jane raised an eyebrow and asked, “You don’t trust me?”

Rebecca replied, “I trust you. That’s exactly why I think I should deal with it myself.”

Jane was effortlessly cool and always made Rebecca feel at ease. Rebecca believed that no matter who tried to stir up trouble, Jane could sort it out.

But if Jane got involved, those people would start targeting her too—and Rebecca didn’t want to complicate Jane’s world or drag her down into this mess.

Jane said, “Alright then. If anything happens, just come to me.”

Rebecca nodded.

The whole afternoon flew by with Rebecca following the company’s schedule, running through rehearsals for the big event. She, Jane, Ella, and a few others got slotted into a mid–show spot.

Soon, it was six in the evening. The tenth anniversary celebration of PrimePlay Technologies started right on schedule.

The host fired up the crowd, talking passionately about PrimePlay’s rise over the years, before handing the mic to a few of the higher–ups for their speeches.

All the employees were seated neatly in the hotel’s main hall, and Rebecca was right there among them.

Once the speeches were over, the performances began. One by one, people went up as their names were called. When it was almost time for Rebecca and her crew to perform, they slipped backstage to get ready.

Meanwhile, Stanley and Jeffrey were up on the second floor, watching everything as it happened.
