"There's always a bigger fish in the sea, so losing is no big deal," Rebecca continued with a shrug. "Miss Griffin invited me to a rematch tonight. Maybe she'll take the win again."
Daniel just watched Rebecca, his eyes brimming with admiration. She was even kinder than he had imagined. At a time like this, she was still speaking up for someone who had cheated.
A girl with that kind of heart was a rare find these days.
A smug twinkle flashed in Rebecca's eyes. By looking at Daniel, she could tell she had him wrapped around her finger.
It was pity though, because Daniel was no match for Sherman.
A stepping stone could never be more than just that.
Daniel said, "Ms. Morris, you're too modest. Griffin wouldn't dare show her face, let alone challenge you to a match."
The live stream was about to start, and Griffin was still nowhere to be seen. If that wasn't a sign of guilt, what was? All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Maybe she's just been delayed?" Rebecca suggested. "I don't think Miss Griffin is the type to chicken out."
Just then, Dahlia glanced at her watch and said, "Rebecca, let's head over. The red carpet event is about to begin."
Rebecca nodded and said goodbye to Daniel.
There were over three hundred female hosts lining up for the red carpet walk.
As Rebecca arrived, a buzz of conversation erupted around her.
After all, the cheating scandal between her and Griffin had blown up, and Griffin had even issued a statement saying she would attend the event and had challenged Rebecca to a duel.
With the red carpet event about to start, and Griffin still a no-show, she probably didn't dare to come, did she?
Ugly and a cheater, showing up would only bring her shame.
Staying away was the smart move.
The live streaming platform was buzzing with anticipation.
[Has Griffin shown up yet?]
[Can't wait for the drama!]
[I've been watching for ages and haven't seen anyone that looks like Griffin on the scene. Even if she did show up, there’s no way she could hold a candle to Rebecca's pinky finger.]
[Haha, the cheat is too scared to show!]
[Let's pack it up, guys. The cheat won't come, and we won't get our drama.]
And then, the red carpet ceremony officially began.
The emcee stood on stage with a microphone in hand. "First to enter is the charming hostess, who was also a streamer.
RealTimeFlow, keen on stirring things up, had deliberately placed Rebecca and Anthea's names at the very end. After all, the biggest celebrities were always the showstoppers.
Presumably knowing that Anthea would be a no-show, her name was listed last.
"Next up, please welcome our Hostess of the Year, the stunning Miss Becca!"
Rebecca flipped her hair back and gracefully stepped onto the red carpet.
[Wow, Rebecca looks gorgeous!]
[Rebecca outshines them all!]
[Next up is the cheat, right?]
[Relax, she won't come. The cheat is too scared!]
Rebecca reached the stage, signed the advertising wall, posed for photos, then stood waiting for Griffin. After all, they had a duel pending.
Though she was certain the cowardly joker wouldn't dare show up, she had to go through the motions.
"And now, the moment we've all been waiting for. A new star in our platform! Her name is: Griffin YC! Rumor has it she's challenged our very own Becca to a duel, and for this occasion, our network has even set up a chess board for the two hosts. Will we have the honor of witnessing their live duel? And now, please welcome Griffin YC!"
As the emcee finished speaking, the atmosphere around the red carpet became eerily silent.
[Told you, the cheat's too chicken to show up.]
[Some creatures just can't stand the light!]
[Disgusting!]
After a few tense seconds of silence, there was still no movement at the end of the red carpet.
The emcee, microphone in hand, began, "Unfortunately, Griffin YC is absent tonight..."
"I'm so sorry for being late." A soft, clear female voice interrupted the host before he could finish. At her words, everyone turned to look towards the end of the red carpet.
There, striding against the light, was a tall figure approaching.
