Chapter 250
StreamWave was the exclusive platform for live-streaming the competition, so both parties would be collaborating closely. If StreamWave requested a laver from them, the organizers would be obligated to comply.
âRaina already asked. They said thereâs a limit to the total number of participants, and theyâve already arranged the competition schedule. so they canât forcibly stick in an extra person.â Zero let out a long sigh before pushing an extra serving of steak toward Larissa âDo eat more, Larissa! Letâs enjoy the meal and stop thinking about such sad things!â
Larissa spent nearly two hours with Zero, When they emerged from the diner, they were pretty much stuffed.
âHuh? Isnât that Lana? Zero exclaimed as she lugged on Larissaâs down jacketâs sleeve.
Following where her finger was pointing, Larissa saw Lans and a man entering the high-end restaurant across the street. She did not get a good look at the manâs face due to how dark it was, but she was sure that it was not Lucas.
âHmm, that guy next to Lana looks kinda familiar Zero Irowned as she tried to remember. It wasnât until she got into Larissaâs car that she smacked her thigh in triumph and exclaimed, âI remember now!
Thatâs the guy from LuminoLive! He tried to get me to join them last time, but I refused.â
LuminoLive was the only live-streaming platform that could rival StreamWave. The countryâs most popular anchors were predominantly on these two platforms. Seeing someone having a meal with Lana, it was obvious what it meant. However, it remained unclear whether LuminoLive was attempting to poach Lana or il Lana hersell wanted to jump ship.
âHang on
â
FII
Zero suddenly became serious. âIl Lana wants to jump ship then those two anchors under her will definitely follow. theyâre only leaving after the competition then thatâs really f ucking shameless!â She was angrier than before. âNo way! Tve got to tell Raina and get her to tell the higher-ups about this!
â
Larissa stopped her. Itâs fine to tell Raina about this, but donât ask her to find the higher-ups yet. Lana is just having a meal with the guy from Luminal ive. She may not necessarily be jump ng ship. If you report her rashly like this, she may retaliate.â
âThen the competition Zero only cared about the exibition match now.
âWhen is 17 Larissa asked.
âA week before the new year.â
So there was still about a weekâs time left from now, Larissa had a feeling that Lana would not stay for that long in StreamWave, because Kevan would strike at her for yesterdayâs events.
âDonât worry, Youâll be able to participate in the competition.â
Zero just took that as Larissa comforting her, so she forced a smile and said. âThank you.â
Ater Larissa dropped Zero off at her home, it was almost 11 pm when she finally arrived at her own home.
Surprisingly, Kewan was not yet asleep and was sliting in the living room, drinking water and watching boring news on TV.
Larissa had already reported to him beforehand about the supper. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he glanced over and
asked, âDid you eat well?â
âYeah, it was fine. Larissa changed her shoes and went to sit next to him instead of going to her bedroom.
Kevan was a bit surprised. He picked up the remote and turned off the TV.
âDo you need something?â
He could not think of any other reason that would lead her to seek him out.
