“So, the company you're talking about is A&C Entertainment?” Liam's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly.
“Oh, 1 didn’t tell you that, did 1?” Alessia’s reaction was almost nonchalant,
especially compared to Liam's shock.
“Didn’t tell me-are you serious?” Liam stared at her, feeling a sudden tightness in his chest.
“Does it really matter?” Alessia shrugged, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, leaving Liam at a loss
for words.
“It... it doesn’t matter?”
“Let’s do this: | need to go to headquarters next Saturday. Take the next few days to think it over. If you're

An awkward silence settled between the siblings. Almost in unison, they both scratched their noses and looked

“Lessie! Liam?” Zachary’s voice cut through the silence like a lifeline, and both of them gave a quiet sigh of
relief. Sentimentality just wasn’t their thing.
“Hey, Zach,” Alessia called out, while Liam gave a half-hearted wave, slipping back into his usual cool demeanor.
“What are you two doing out here?”
“| figured you'd be hsoon, so | cdown to wait for you,” Zachary said, not mentioning he’d already been
waiting nearly an hour-didn’t want Alessia to feel bad about it. Truth was, Karen and the others had been
