Chapter 79
Sweet Subterfuge
As the elevator did not stop during the journey, it was fast. It did not even take two minutes to get to Floor 45.
Larissa told Zero that they were going up by themselves, and she was waiting at the elevators on that floor. So, they circled around to meet up with her.
Zero did not know Kevan or Dylan, so when she saw the group, she was a little startled.
She asked Larissa, âI thought you were just bringing two people with you?â
Larissa laughed nervously as she pointed at the two extra people. âThese two are my friends who work at Microworks. We happened to meet downstairs, and they brought us up.â
When he heard her say âfriendsâ. Kevan frowned a little.
âOhh! I see.â Zero did not suspect anything and looked down at her phone before saying in a panic. âItâs past 7 pm. Letâs go to my studio! My stream is going to be late!â
Dylan asked, âMay we join you? Iâve never seen a livestream on set in person!â
He displayed a great deal of interest, so Zero agreed for Larissaâs sake. âOf course!â
Floor 45 of the building belonged to StreamWave Studios, Block A was the office of the internal staff, while Block B had been remodeled to contain several studios. Every studio had been split into an internal and external space. The internal space was the fully equipped live streaming space, while the external space was a mini meeting room, which gave the streamers a place to have meetings with their management tear or take breaks there.
Zero only had one assistant in her studio.
âCome on, come on!â The assistant pushed Zero quickly into the live streaming room, urging her, âYouâre already five minutes late! The fans are losing it!â
Zero turned back to pull on Larissaâs hand. âCome with me. Larissa.â
âHuh?â Larissa was a bit puzzled. âWhy do I need to go in so soon?â
They agreed to do it after Zero had finished her own work.
Zero blinked. âTo accompany me, of course! Youâve finally made it here, so youâre going to cheer me on by my side!â
Zeroâs live streaming room only had a computer table and two chairs. But the table was laden with all sorts of thingsâtwo large monitors, a keyboard, a mouse, figurines, and some snacks.
Redâfaced, Zero tossed the snacks onto the floor. She pushed Larissa down onto the gaming chair she usually sat on, and went live, aiming the camera at Larissa.
âWho is that?â
âDid Bro Zero have a facelift?â
âAre you kidding? Bro Zero clearly went under the knife for a completely new look! Canât you see that itâs a woman?â
âI left the stream and came back, this 15 Bro Zeroâs stream for sure!â
âSoooo, where did Bro Zero go?â
âShow me my Bro Zero!â
âI donât want to see pretty women, only Bro Zero!â
The fansâ comments started rolling in, causing Larissa to want to get up and give Zero her seat back.
But Zero only forced her back down. âSit!â
âWoahhh! Bro Zeroâs masculine power is at MAX yâall!â
âBro Zero, what are you streaming today?â
âThatâs exciting!â
âCanât wait to see what happens next!â
