Chapter 158:
“Very well,” Millie conceded gracefully, allowing the mysterious topic to drift away naturally.
They engaged in animated conversation for an extended period. Observing Alexia’s endearingly bashful and somewhat clumsy mannerisms, Millie released a profound sigh. After allowing her thoughts to crystallize for several contemplative moments, she ventured, “Would you consider granting me a personal favor?”
Alexia responded immediately with an emphatic nod. “Anything for you.”
“In just a few days, the second live broadcast of Heavenly Melody will command the stage,” Millie explained, her gaze searching Alexia’s face intently. “Would your schedule permit you to attend and witness my performance on stage?” Find the newest release on.net
“Of course! I’ll rearrange my entire schedule to be there!” Alexia declared with immediate conviction. Even if prior commitments had existed, she would have negotiated shift exchanges with colleagues to create the necessary time. She added breathlessly, “I’ve been desperately longing to experience the magic firsthand!”
Alexia then protested with genuine bewilderment. “That hardly qualifies as a favor.”
Millie reached out and gently poked her friend’s cheek with affection. “It absolutely constitutes a meaningful favor,” Millie responded, her smile radiating warmth and sincerity. “Nobody else in that audience knows I’m Millie. You alone hold that secret. It transforms the entire experience into something profoundly meaningful—it simply feels extraordinarily special.”
Millie paused and then continued, her voice taking on a more serious tone. “And there exists one additional request. I desperately need your help to find someone and address the audio and video quality issues that have been plaguing the precious live broadcast.”
Witnessing Alexia’s unbridled eagerness and devotion, Millie recognized that she needed to orchestrate something meaningful to finally ease Alexia’s troubled conscience. She refused to allow her dearest friend to remain trapped in perpetual unease, constantly treading carefully around her as if navigating a minefield. They existed as equals in this friendship. Neither person owed the other any debt of gratitude or obligation.

Therefore, resolving the live show’s technical audio and video challenges would serve as that transformative “something.” Once Alexia successfully conquered that complex problem, perhaps her lingering guilt would finally dissipate, and their cherished relationship could return to the natural harmony they had shared before tragedy struck.
Moreover, Alexia had already secured possession of Tia’s phone. The moment they located a skilled data recovery specialist, every piece of the puzzle would click seamlessly into place.
“Perhaps if you immerse yourself more deeply into this project, that persistent issue will reach its resolution sooner?” Millie suggested, her smile carrying both hope and encouragement.
“You’re absolutely correct!” Alexia responded with a vigorous nod, her expression radiating newfound determination and unwavering resolve. With that reassuring exchange, Millie felt the tight knot of anxiety in her chest begin to loosen considerably.
