"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 g 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 tform 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 Reba blurted out, "So, is sheing or what?"
Shaking her head, Dahlia looked at Reba''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 Reba. When Dahlia
was on a business trip in Cloudcrest and got mugged, stabbed by a thug, it was Reba 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 Reba managed to sign with RealTimeFlow so easily.
Hearing the news, Reba''sugh 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 ising to the event,
right?"
Daniel Robinson was the big boss at RealTimeFlow, and if he wasing, 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 tform."
Then Dahlia turned the tables, "How about you, Reba? You''re gonna grace us with your
presence, right? It is your first year with RealTimeFlow, after all."
Reba nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I''ve promised my fans."
"Then you''ll definitely be the belle of the ball!" Dahlia eximed, well aware that despite the
plethora of female streamers on their tform, very few could hold a candle to Reba''s beauty.
"Dahlia, you love teasing me," Reba 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 ttering you, Reba. With your looks and your gaming
skills, who on our tform could surpass you?"
There was an unmistakable gleam of pride in Reba''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, Reba. With
your stunning looks..." The implication was clear.
Daniel? Reba dismissed the thought with an inner scoff. Compared to Mr. Christensen, what
was Daniel? At best, a servant!
"Dahlia, you''re joking again," Reba blushed for effect. "I''m nowhere near Mr. Robinson''s league."
Dahlia took it as coyness, "I''m tight with Mr. Robinson. When youe down to Capital City, I''ll
introduce you two. Even if romance doesn''t spark, friendship is always good."
Just as Reba was fretting over how towork 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 g.

Reba nodded, "See you in Capital City."
As the video call ended, Reba began browsing through a collection of dazzling gowns.
