As she had said, after a few rounds of herbal baths and acupuncture, Jason’s legs not only regained some feeling, but he could even move them a little.
Seeing this, Jason finally saw a glimmer of hope for recovery.
Meanwhile, Alicia had also added Darren on WhatsApp.
They met up for a few meals to get to know each other better, preparing for their upcoming reality show together.
It was as if they were old friends from another life. They hit it off instantly and got along great.
Before long, they became friends who would message each other often and sometimes even play games together.
Time flew by, and soon it was the day of the reality show.
For the first episode, all the guests gathered in Solmare and set off together for the show’s destination.
Jason shared a van with Alicia, escorting her to the set.
In the van, Alicia turned to Jason and said, “Looks like your treatment is moving into phase two now. From now on, you’ll only need acupuncture every three days.
“I’ll be filming the show out of town, so I’ll still need you to come by for my acupuncture p>
Jason replied, “I’ll come with you to the set. We can get the treatments whenever you have time p>
Alicia asked, “Aren’t you going back to the office to handle things? ”
Jason replied, “Nothing urgent right now. I can take care of everything with video calls and remote access p>
Alicia teased, “With such a VIP sponsor hanging around, the production team’s gonna be on edge every day, worried you’ll get picky about something p>
Jason raised his eyebrows. “With your VIP sponsor here, no one would dare cross you p>
Alicia burst out laughing. “Well then, thanks p>
Jason asked, “You sure you don’t want to get yourself an assistant first? ”
When Alicia left Starlight Entertainment, she didn’t take her old assistant along.
Jason had his secretary line up a few options for her, but she said no to all of them.

Alicia replied, “I’ve already invited someone I’ve got my eye on, and she said yes.
“But she’s gotta finish up at her old job first, so she’ll only be able to start next week p>
Her old assistant was actually assigned to her by HR at Starlight Entertainment.
Alicia had always treated her kindly, even lending a hand whenever she needed help.
But at some point, behind Alicia’s back, that assistant got bought off by Haley and Nicole.
She’d secretly leak Alicia’s info to those two. She was just a snake Alicia couldn’t trust.

When Alicia got her second chance, that assistant even sent her that viral post on X on purpose, just to provoke her into stirring up trouble with those people.
When Alicia left Starlight Entertainment, that assistant said she wanted to keep working with her, but Alicia paid her no mind.
This time, the assistant Alicia reached out to was a young woman she’d once supported through college.
She was capable and sincere, someone who truly valued relationships.
But because she was reserved and didn’t try to curry favor or get involved in office drama, her managers at her current company didn’t really appreciate her. So work always felt pretty stifling for her.
In her last life, after Alicia left the group, she ran into this girl just as she was quitting her job out of frustration.
They clicked instantly, and she became Alicia’s assistant.
Alicia loved how efficient she was, and they made a great team together.
And since Alicia knew she’d never get stabbed in the back by her, she was more than happy to wait.
Jason nodded. “Alright p>
When they arrived at the destination, Alicia and Jason walked into the waiting room together.
The director, Marley Duncan, and the rest of the production crew went out of their way to greet Jason, being super polite.
They were pretty courteous to Alicia as well.
Marley turned to Alicia and said, “We’ve set up a waiting room for each group of guests. When the live stream kicks off, each group will enter separately.
“You and Darren will be the last group to show up p>
Given their star power and all the negative buzz lately, Alicia and Darren would normally be the first ones to

hit the stage.

But this time, since they were the most talked–about guests, plus having Jason, their big–shot sponsor, in their corner, the crew decided to have them enter last.
Alicia nodded. “Got it p>
Soon, Darren walked in with his new agent.
When his agent spotted Jason, he froze for a second.
Then he quickly put on a big smile and stepped forward respectfully. “Good to see you, Mr. Farrell p>
Who would’ve thought Mr. Farrell, the man with a million things on his plate, would personally escort Alicia to the show? He really does value her, the agent thought.
Jason gave him a nod.
Darren walked up, said hi to Jason, then stood next to Alicia.
Alicia knew that while Darren was tall and good–looking, he always wore a serious expression, which made him come off as cold and unapproachable.
But in reality, he was just a socially awkward introvert, which was why the supporting actor used to push him around on set.
