Chapter 1378


    Bet gave an awkward grin, keeping his lips sealed.


    Upstairs, Carme was on a call with Finley.


    Finley eximed excitedly, “Carme, you’ve really blown me away. I’m so proud of you!”


    Carme retained herposed smile, “I didn’t lie to you, did I? The show is a total hit!”


    “That’s all credit to you! My dad specially called me over today to praise me for my good judgement.


    The advertising sponsorship for the show has brought in some serious dough for our family, all thanks


    to you!” Finley chuckled softly. “Let’s meet up tonight. I’ve booked a restaurant to celebrate you!” Since

    that day, Carme and Finley had gone out a few times. Although this was the case, she didn’t want to


    give Finley the impression that she was too easygoing, so she said, “My parents have also nned a


    celebration party for me. Let’s reschedule our date.”


    “But I want to see you now. I think about you every night to the point where I can’t sleep,” Finley fluently


    spit out sweet nothings, “Whether I’m sleeping. eating, or in a meeting, I’m always thinking about you.


    There isn’t a moment where you’re not on my mind!”


    Carme was quite taken by Finley’s sweet talk. She lowered her eyes andughed, “Then, let’s make


    it tomorrow.”


    “Alright, as you wish, I’ll endure one more day”


    The two continued to exchange sweet words before ending the call.


    Carme was still in a good mood when her phone rang again, She nced at the screen, and her face


    immediately turned serious.


    The phone kept ringing as though it would only stop if she answered.


    Knowing she couldn’t dodge the bullet, Carme reluctantly picked up the call, “Hello?”


    “Congrats! I saw online that the show you’re a part of is a smashing sess Victor said with a


    chuckle.


    Carme stiffly said, “What do you want? Don’te asking me for money again. I have none to give


    you!”


    “The bar my friends and I opened isn’t making any money. We’ve closed down!” Victor said.


    Carme burst out in anger, “Victor, do the math on how much money you’ve taken from me. All the


    nonsense about your bar going under, you’ve never actually done any business. You gambled away all


    the money!”


    Victor nonchntly said, “Why are you so worked up? You’re on a hot streak right now. This amount of


    money is nothing to you.”


    “Victor, do you really think I’m livingfortably in the Macin family? If I don’t hustle, I’ll be kicked


    out by the Macins in no time!”


    Victor was unperturbed, “Is it really that bad?”


    “Believe it or not, once I get kicked out, I’ll make you take care of me” Carme sneered.


    Victor yed along, “If it reallyes to that, you should n ahead for yourself.”


    “n what?”


    “Can you get me a job at the Macin’spany? I gambled because I was bored. If you help me get


    a job, we can work together to get all of Macin’s money. Are you still afraid of them, then?” Victor


    said slyly.


    Carme was initially reluctant to bring Victor into the Macin family’s sight, but his proposal tempted


    her.


    Victor was right. After all, he was her biological brother. If she had her own influence within the


    Macin family, she wouldn’t have to fight alone.


    Moreover, if she found Victor a job, maybe he could truly turn over a new leaf, stop gambling, and stop


    constantly asking Carme for money.


    Carme’s eyes flickered as she chuckled, “I can arrange a job for you at the Macin’spany, but


    you can’t tell anyone about our rtionship. If you let it slip, we’ll both be in hot water!”


    Victor immediately responded, “I’m not an idiot. I get it. Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble”


    “Then wait for my call!*


    “You have to act quickly, and it would be best if you could arrange a job that makes good money!”


    “I got it!”
