Lyricist: Her Revenge

Cheesy Bites

The next morning Alice headed to the main branch of the hotel with Amy. Today, she would sign the voiceover contract. As said by Amy, she had already discussed the conditions. So, there wouldn't be any problem with signing the contract.

As soon as they stepped into the lobby, they were greeted by a few pairs of glaring eyes. Alice squinted her eyes with a frown before heading in with Amy. The moment she entered, he turned to ask Amy, "Who were those people?"

"Grace Saffin & her bunch of lackeys", Amy snorted with disdain.

"I see", Alice nodded, "Why were they glaring at me?"

"Is it?" Amy quirked & raised an eyebrow, "After all, you stole her contract right under her nose."

"Huh?" Alice was confused, "How?"

"She has been on the pinnacle of the vice industry", Amy explained, "Being her contract stolen by a newcomer, would naturally make her angry."

"Oh, she must be quite talented, right?"

"Mmm, she knows mimicry."

"Oh, poor me! How can I be here? This will be my first & last time, okay?"

"Silly girl", Amy patted her head, "It's easier than you think."

...

Grace was really furious, "Who the hell is that bitch?"

"She can't even compare to our Goddess", one of her lackeys snorted.

Somewhere nearby, Jenny smiled when she heard their conversation. She felt deeply happy in her heart. But how did she end up here? Oh, well! She's been working here as a waitress for the last month. She quickly approached one of the lackeys & whispered something in her ear. The lackey quirked her eyebrows & relayed everything to Grace. She smirked at Jenny, "Go ahead. You have my back."

...

Alice & Amy came back to the lobby after signing the contract. They were waiting for the driver to pick them up. Just then, a waitress carrying a tray, dashed into Amy, spoiling her dress. The waitress hurriedly apologized, "Sorry for the inconvenience. You may go over the washroom there."

Amy nodded at the waitress & then gestured Alice to wait for her. Alice nodded back. She was standing by herself when a middle-aged waitress came by her, "Miss, you can go stand there at the balcony. The air is fresh."

Alice smiled, "Thank you." She turned around & moved towards the balcony, but stopped in her tracks. She turned back to look at the waitress & narrowed her eyes. But she shook her head & headed to the balcony. As soon as she stepped into the balcony, warm sunrays poured on her face. She shielded her eyes before heading towards the railing. She looked down & saw the expanse of the city in the broad daylight. It sparkled under the sun. She smiled & quickly snapped a picture. After that, she logged into her Instagram account & posted the photo, "Heaven under the Sky!"

Post!

Instantly, the photo gained likes & comments.

"Oh my! Where have you been?"

"It seems like I can see my apartment in it! 😆"

"We found a new photographer!"

"Awesome!"

"Breathtaking!"

"Oh gosh! When did our city become that beautiful?"

Alice smiled as she read the comments. She, then, received a call. She picked it up immediately.

"Nanko, what happened?"

"Sis, police raided the NGO!" the voice was tensed.

"Police?" Alice was alarmed.

"They are saying that our NGO is related to child trafficking", Nanko said.

"Child trafficking?", Alice gasped.

The police raid was a big bomb enough that the words 'child trafficking' exploded in her ears.

"Sis, are you alright?", Nanko grew more tensed.

"Wait for me!", Alice got up, grabbed her bag & headed out. She boarded a lift. The moment she was inside, she quickly typed a message for Amy & pressed send!

You might be wondering where this NGO thing came from? Well...

6 years back, when Alice made her first chartbuster debut with her girl band, she had no one to spend her money on. Her Grandma would never accept her money & her only dear cousin was abroad with his family. That's when the thought of an NGO filed her mind. Within two years, her NGO, Little Hearts, flourished radiantly with the local people's help. She never expected such a day would come when she would be faced with the question of child trafficking.

She soon hailed a taxi headed towards the outskirts of the city.
