Chapter 29
He might even get Starlight Entertainment to make an investment in the show.
Alicia gave him a half–smile. “Do you think it’s better to turn him down or let him join p>
Jason answered, “From a business perspective, it’s definitely better to let him join.

“He’s a top–tier star, and he’s never done a reality show before, so his debut on the show will bring in a ton of views.
“Plus, everyone’s saying you’re just riding on your childhood connection with him. The chemistry between you two on the show is bound to be a huge talking point.
“So, the pros definitely outweigh the cons if he joins.
“But since we’re partners now, I’ll respect whatever you choose. ”
He made it clear that even though having Nicolas on board would bring in a lot of benefits, if Alicia wasn’t comfortable with it, he wouldn’t force her.
Alicia grinned, “You really do make a great partner. Since it’s more good than bad, let him on board.
“Let him stir up some hype and give us something to talk about. Works for me p>
Jason could already tell what her answer would be.
A smile appeared on his handsome face. “I’m really glad to have such a level–headed partner p>
If Alicia were the kind who acted recklessly and just lashed out for revenge, he definitely wouldn’t work with her.
Alicia laughed and said, “Honestly, who would’ve thought we’d ever be sitting here, getting along and trading compliments p>
Jason let out a laugh. “Yeah, never thought this day would come p>
He added, “By the way, if Nicolas joins, there’s a good chance Nicole will jump on board too p>
Alicia nodded in agreement. “She definitely will p>
“She’s been dead set on marrying Nicolas, and being on the show together means she’ll get plenty of on–screen time with him p>
“And of course, she’ll try to put me down while she’s at it. She won’t let a chance like that slip by p>
Alicia knew Nicole better than anyone, but she wasn’t fazed by her at all.
Jason paused, then said, “Since you’re cool with them joining, why not bring in one of your former group members too?
“If Nicolas brings Nicole, then I’ll have the production team invite another LUMIA member p>
Alicia shot him an amused look, raising her brows. “ See, that’s the real capitalist move right there. You’ve totally cracked the viral code p>
When it came to reality shows, there were only two things that could really hook viewers: either everyone was vibing and the comedy was nonstop, or there was tension between the guests, so viewers got to watch the fights break out live on screen.

Chapter 29
The drama between Alicia and the other four girls from LUMIA had been public knowledge for a long time.
If they all ended up on the same show, people would tune in to watch.
Jason smirked, “Thanks for the compliment p>
Time flew by as they chatted.
When the time was up, Alicia took out the needles and asked, “Do you feel anything p>

Jason looked genuinely surprised. “Actually, I do. My legs have been numb for ages, but now that the needles are out, I can actually feel some heat in them p>
He never thought Alicia’s acupuncture would kick in so fast.
After being numb for so long, he suddenly felt that warmth. It actually made him feel a rare spark inside.
For the first time in a long while, Jason actually started to believe that maybe Alicia could really help him walk again.
She was even better at this than he’d ever expected.
Alicia nodded. “That’s exactly what you should be feeling.
“Give it a few more rounds, and you’ll be able to move your toes, maybe even lift your foot a bit p>
Jason’s eyes lit up. “I can’t wait for that day to come. ”
From then on, Alicia came over every day to give Jason his acupuncture treatment.
Two days later, Lucent Media spread the word around the industry that Alicia would be joining the reality show Setting Off with Friends.
As they had expected, Nicolas wasted no time and reached out to the production team himself, saying he wanted to be a regular on the show.
Starlight Entertainment was also willing to throw some money into the project.
The production team had already gotten the hint from Jason’s assistant, so they were totally on board with it all.
They even told Nicolas he could invite a friend to join him on the show. Whether they were in the business or just a regular person, it didn’t matter.
Nicole got the scoop about Nicolas joining the show almost instantly. She was the first to know,
After all, both Nicolas’s agent and his assistant had always been on great terms with her.
