Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

541 Tammy's Double Life

"It's the second one down the road on the right." The receptionist answered

"Thanks."

After she reached the door to the office, Alicia nervously knocked on the door

"Please come in," a girl in the room said

"Hello, is Amber there?" Alicia cautiously pushed the door open

"lam Amber," the girl said as she turned to face Alicia

Alicia was taken aback when she saw the girl. Her eyes were the deep blue of the sea, and her cheeks were the color of ripe raspberries. She was dressed in a dark green jersey, which added charm to her youthful appearance. At that moment, in Alicia's heart, the girl in front of her was as stunning as a movie star

"Are you... you're Amber? You look stunning," Alicia stammered nervously

"Yes, in the flesh! Why are you standing there? Come here!" the girl said in a soft and sweet voice as she extended her hand to Alicia, "You're Alicia, right? Thanks for your compliment, by the way."

Tammy had been an e-sports live streamer for a while, and she had always gone by the name "Amber." Nobody knew her appearance because she never let the camera capture her face. So, she could understand why Alicia was so surprised

"So, are we doing the interview now, Miss Amber? Here's my resume

Please have a look at it," While struggling to catch her breath, Amber

"That won't be necessary. Back when we communicated with each other, I found that you knew how it goes with live streaming very well. So, I believe that you're competent enough for the position. If you're okay with the salary, you're hired," Tammy said, setting her resume aside, "And I'll tell you the specifics later."

"I'm totally okay with the salary. Thank you for hiring me," Alicia said with a nod, smiling happily

"All right, then. Take your time reading the contract. I've already signed it, so you can also sign it if you think it's okay. You can come to work tomorrow." Tammy took two papers from beneath the table and placed them on the desk. She then picked up her book bag from the hangar and placed one foot on the chair to tie her shoelaces

"I still have to get back to school," she explained, "so just take your time reading the contract. Feel free to send me messages anytime if you have any questions about it."

"All right." Nodding, Alicia replied

"By the way, here's the access card," Tammy pulled a card from her bag and handed it to Alicia before leaving, "I'll send you the code to open the door later, and you can input your fingerprints there." "Okay."

After Tammy left the room, Alicia still gripped the access card tightly

She then suddenly realized that Tammy hadn't told her where she was supposed to live. So, she texted Tammy and asked her about it

Before long, Tammy texted her back, saying, "You'll live in the apartment on the top floor of this building. You can just take the elevator there."

Reading the text, Alicia let out a sigh of relief, Is this where I'm going

540 Tammy's Double Life to live for the time being? Anyways, at least I don't need to worry about the commute, She thought ae

The moment she stepped out of the building, Tammy took a taxi to school. To her surprise, her phone kept ringing on the way. And Tammy swallowed hard when she saw the caller ID "Hello? Mom," she said cautiously as she pressed the answer button

"Don't leave after school is over today. I'll pick you up," Anna said softly

"Why?"

"You'll be walking in the show tomorrow, and tonight is the final rehearsal, remember? Your Aunt Emily is coming back, so I'm taking you home for dinner."

"Is Emily back? She hasn't been back in months," Tammy exclaimed

"Yeah, so I'll take you to meet her. And I'm not sure how long she'll be here this time."

"I can take a cab there myself, mom. You really don't have to pick me up yourself."

"I'm getting out of work early today, so I'll just pick you up on the Way." "Oh, fine," Frowning, Tammy said in dissatisfaction

"Wait! Aren't you supposed to be in class right now? Why did you pick up the phone immediately right after I called you? Did you skip class again?" Anna asked suspiciously

"No, I didn't! I was supposed to have a gym class now, but I'm not feeling well. So, I asked for a leave. I'm going to have to hang up now. My teacher is coming. Bye!"

Tammy quickly hung up the phone and exhaled a sigh of relief. She thought to herself, Well, technically, I wasn't lying to mom. Ummm... At least I didn't lie to her about having a gym class today. Anyways, I hope that mom wouldn't find out about it. Otherwise, I will suffer tonight

At her office, Anna felt as if she couldn't breathe because the phone hung up before she could finish her sentence

Sensing that Anna was annoyed, Peace, who was sitting opposite her, asked, "What's the problem? Why are you so serious?"

Enraged, Anna slammed her phone down on the table and grumbled, "I suspect that Tammy skipped class again.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to answer my call!"

"It doesn't matter. Tammy isn't a study material, is she?" As she ate her nachos, Peace said

Rolling her eyes, Anna commented, "So? Of course, I know she hates to study. But what kind of work will she be able to do in the future if she drops out at such a young age?"

"It's fine. You have enough money to support her anyway," Wiping her mouth with the tissue, Peace said calmly

"Are you serious, Peace? Anna asked, grabbing the plate of nachos in front of her. Then she changed the topic, "You're not worried about Beatrice now, are you?"

"Why should be worried?" Peace crossed her legs and said proudly, "Karl is now responsible for taking care of the kids on his own, and he is too busy to deal with Beatrice. He wouldn't have the energy to cheat even if he wanted to. And I fired all of the housemaids. That way, he could experience the "fun" of raising children on his own."

"Good for you!" Anna said and even wanted to give Peace a standing ovation

"That's what has happened to me recently. So, how are things going with you, Anna? You didn't cry when you realized you couldn't sign up for the volunteering project?"

Anna chuckled and said, "I'm not sad at all. I know I have to maintain the balance between my work and family.

There's been a lot going on at home recently, and Matthew got injured. And I want to spend more time with him to let him know that I'm always there for him."

Peace stared at Anna for a long time before saying, "In fact, I've always had a feeling that you'll go to Fleosil for the project sooner or later

My intuition has always been correct, believe me."

Anna shook her head, lowering her head to drink her coffee. She then reminded Matthew to come home for dinner tonight via text message wee

In the late afternoon, a group of people gathered for a meeting at the office of a media company owned by the Carousel Group. Their most recent task was to do publicity for the racing competition

Then one of Matthew's subordinates said to him, "We are participating in the competition to highlight our brand's innovative and performance advantages. And we've put the racers through their paces for the race team. Please take a look at the final list of participants, Mr.Wright."

After looking through the list of people on the slide, Matthew asked, "Kevin was previously banned from racing for three years because he was involved in high-speed racing. Is he now qualified for the competition?"

The person in charge explained, "His three-year ban was lifted earlier

540 Tammy's Double Life than expected. He previously donated half a million dollars to the slums and is now a charity ambassador. After that..."

Matthew sighed and interrupted, "I don't care about that. Just find someone else to replace him. The event is a fantastic opportunity for our brands to showcase their vehicles, and it's especially important for our company. We have just got started in the car industry. So, we can't afford to make even the smallest mistake."

"But, Mr. Wright, Kevin has consistently been ranked in the top three

We can't guarantee that other contestants will finish in the top ten if we replace him."

"Please show me the list."

"Here it is," the assistant said as he handed over the list to Matthew

Matthew looked through the list on the screen. "Put Jayden in his place," he said halfway through

"Jayden?" Everyone started murmuring

"Mr. Wright is a newcomer. He's done well in all of his previous competitions, but he's never competed in anything like this."

"Yeah! Jayden's too young for this."

For a brief moment, Matthew's phone, which was on the table, lit up

Then he saw a text message Anna sent him: "Matthew, Ryan, and Emily are coming back home. Remember to go to the Wright's house tonight for dinner. Love you!"

After reading the text, Matthew laughed. He then raised his head and said to his employees, "That's it. Place Jayden on the field and Kevin on the bench."

Hearing that, the crowd looked at each other in surprise. Matthew
