Dominic froze for a moment, and nodded when he realized Tammy was serious. He said, "Okay, fine."

Tammy handed the driver a bill before asking Dominic, "Can | have your cell phone number?"

"Sure." Dominic dialed his cell phone number into Tammy's phone

And he smiled as he watched the two girls walk together toward the building. He thought, 7hat's interesting. | must say that knowing you two is much more interesting than signing the contract. I'm looking forward to seeing you again, Amber

After getting back into the cab, Dominic made a phone call. "You'll get your money tomorrow," he said

"Really? Wow! Thanks! | promise I'll pay you back the money with interest by the end of the year."

"You haven't paid me back what you owed me last year," Frowning, Dominic said in dissatisfaction

"|'m so sorry. I've recently been losing money in my racing business."

"Are you sure you will not lose money next year?"

"Yeah! One of our team's competitors has qualified for this race! I'll be rich as soon as he wins first place in this competition."

Then Dominic calmly looked out the window and said, "I like your optimistic attitude." wee

Later, Tammy and Alicia returned to the office together. And Alicia said

552 | Own This Place to Tammy anxiously, "We really don't have much to lose, do we? Dominic is the most well-known player here! You’re honored to be able to compete with him. Right, Tammy?"

Noticing that Tammy remained silent, Alicia turned around. And then, she saw Tammy daydreaming. Raising one of her brows, Alicia snapped her fingers in front of Tammy's eyes, asking loudly, "What are you doing? You've been preoccupied all day. What's the problem?"

After returning to her senses, Tammy said, "| heard Dominic isn't going to be in the pro league next year."

"What? Why?"

"He's retiring."

"No way!" Alicia said, pulling out a chair and sitting in it, "He's so young! Why would he want to retire at such a young age?"

Instead of answering Alicia's questions, Tammy shook her head. She had no idea what was going on as well

Alicia noticed that Tammy was behaving strangely. Surprised, she asked, "Are you worried about him? Tammy, you're not his fan, are you?"

"Do you think that's possible?" Tammy asked, rolling her eyes

"I'm only kidding," Alicia replied. Then she said to herself, / Anow your only idol is Scott, Tammy. And there is no way that you're Dominic's fan!

Well, he has a lot of fans, though

Having collected her thoughts, Alicia sighed and explained, "Forget about it. | should think about what I'm going to say to Nelly about this." Then she was lostin thought, Since losing the last contract, I've been anxious every day. And | begged Nelly of the company's business department for a contract every day after that. Unfortunately, many celebrities in the entertainment industry are scrambling at the time for

5521 Own This Place advertising contracts. As a result, at the end of the year, few companies are willing to sign contracts with eSports players. Gosh... What should | do now? Why hasn't anyone told me before that this job would be so difficult?

wae

Since she arrived at work in the morning, Alicia had been sitting in Nelly's office. And she asked Nelly in a pleading tone, "Can you help me think of another way? Does anyone have extra advertising contracts right now? Amber has never taken an advertising contract before, and I'm worried for her as her assistant."

"Alicia, | want to help you, too," Nelly sighed, "But you see, the whole industry is in a slump right now, as it is this time of year. Maybe it will be better after next year's tournament."

"But didn't Pearl just see a toothpaste commercial? Her teeth aren't even white!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down. The toothpaste companies love Pearl now. She's probably going to be in every toothpaste commercial in the future," Nelly whispered

"What were they thinking? She's just a mediocre live streamer!"

"Actually, she's the most beautiful female e-sports streamer now. At least the ranking list says so," With a shrug, Nelly responded

"She's the most live streamer?! Really? Amber is ten times prettier than her! Whoever made the list must be joking, right?" Alicia nearly snapped

"If Amber hadn't refused to let people see what she looks like, she could've replaced Pearl. Seriously, if Amber was willing to release her photos, her fan base would be much larger than it is now. And she would receive advertising contracts every day
