“We can even hire some accounts and paid commenters to hype up your ship with Nicolas.

“Even if you’re not on the same team, he’s always looking out for you and goes out of his way to help you. Honestly, fans will ship you two even harder than if you were just grouped together.
“And with Maxwell also looking out for you, that’s double the attention. Your popularity’s bound to skyrocket p>
He added with a smirk, “Alicia will be stuck watching from the sidelines, totally green with envy. What a perfect contrast p>
Nicole’s face broke into a smile. “You’re right. Not being in the same group isn’t so bad after all p>
Having Maxwell as Nicolas’s pick actually worked out even better for her.
What Nicole really wanted was to show everyone she was way better than Alicia and make Alicia look totally second–rate next to her.
Nicole knew this reality show was going to be live.
With Maxwell and Nicolas on her side, she could totally use them to mess with Alicia and maybe even push Alicia to snap and cause a scene right on live TV.
That would be some real drama worth watching.
She smiled and asked, “Who do you think I should bring along p>
Liam replied, “How about bringing someone from LUMIA? That’ll really make things interesting p>
Nicole’s smile grew even wider. “Alright, I’ll go with your suggestion p>
Honestly, that was exactly what she’d been thinking too.
She also decided not to bring Bianca, even though they were pretty close off–camera.
Instead, she chose Felicity, the one with the boldest personality, who absolutely couldn’t stand Alicia and made sure everyone knew it.
Once Nicolas had locked in his four guest spots, the production team immediately let Jason know.
Jason was thrilled with the result. With this lineup, the show was guaranteed to be packed with drama.
And honestly, having those four join was actually a win for Alicia.
After all, every bit of dirt on her was connected to those four in one way or another.
Most of the celebs in the scene already knew Nicolas and the other three were joining the show.
Even if the show didn’t go viral, everyone was sure it’d be trending and packed with drama. No way it was

With just two spots left, all the other entertainment companies were fighting tooth and nail to snag them.
Meanwhile, Alexandra was in full panic mode lately when she heard Nicole was joining the show.
Not only was she getting sued by Alicia and probably about to get hit with a defamation case, but Starlight Entertainment had already put out word that they were going to blacklist her.
Her company wasn’t exactly a big deal, and they couldn’t afford to mess with Starlight, so the higher–ups basically decided to leave her to fend for herself.
If she managed to pull off a comeback, they wouldn’t drop her just yet.
But if she couldn’t, they’d just pass all her gigs and resources to someone else.
Thus, Alexandra called Nicole herself, desperate to get herself a spot on the show with her.
If Nicole would just take her along and put in a good word with Nicolas, Alexandra might just dodge the
blacklist bullet.
Plus, riding the show’s hype could help her score a comeback and revive her career.
Nicole knew perfectly well that Nicolas was taking out his anger on Alexandra because of Alicia, and had even made it clear he was going to blacklist her.
But she had zero intention of helping Alexandra out.
For one thing, it would totally mess up Nicolas’s impression of her.
And honestly, Alexandra was just a useless sidekick who always screwed things up. She was basically dead weight now.
Thus, Nicole politely brushed Alexandra off, saying it was all up to the company and she could do nothing.
But she wasn’t about to throw Alexandra under the bus. Instead, she promised to say something nice and encouraged her not to give up just yet.
Nicole was always careful not to leave any dirt for others to use against her and never openly offended anyone, even if she was ditching someone she saw as beneath her.
After all, even a cornered dog would bite.
Just as expected, Nicole managed to calm Alexandra down.
Meanwhile, news broke online that Alicia, Darren, Nicolas, and Maxwell were all set to join Setting Off with Friends.
It instantly grabbed the attention of fans and viewers. Everyone knew there was going to be some real drama.
