Right from the start, I always felt out of place among them. Like Darla’s birthday party a few weeks ago.
“Darla, I’ve been seeing your face all over billboards lately. You’re everywhere!” Matthew had teased.
I smiled, feeling awkward. “Thanks.”
Darla flashed a charming yet cynical smile when she asked, "Does Charles' family have a hand in this?"
“Charles’ family doesn’t sponsor Bright Agency, only focus on Les Agency,” Rheymond answered casually.
“Ah, you’re a good friend then, only sponsoring our agency that promotes us. You should ask for a 30-70 split; I’m stressed from all the gaming nights for just a 50-50,” Matthew joked.
Matthew, a renowned gamer, streamed nightly and uploaded content daily. He was one of the top five gaming content creators in the world.
“You should discuss that with your agency, Matt,” Darla replied with a laugh.
Matthew teased, “Said a beauty influencer who got an 80-20 split. You must’ve sweet-talked your boss into it, admit it.”
“It’s all hard work, well, by my brother’s and Rheymond’s help of course,” Darla said, a hint of pride in her voice.
“My brother would never help me, but it’s fine. I’ll just ask my mom,” Matthew quipped, and everyone laughed.
