Chapter 1048
Vermont was still indulging himself in his dirty thoughts when Felicity suddenly lifted her head. Then, her lips
accidentally brushed against his chin. Both of them were stunned, and the awkwardness followed.
Of course, Felicity was the more embarrassed one, and there did not seem to be any special expression on
Vermont's face.
Felicity cleared her throat, breaking the awkward silence." How do you feel? Is it too tight?"
"It’s fine."
Vermont replied as he secretly observed Felicity’s reaction with an indifferent face.
"Good." Felicity then asked, "Why did Keegan call you just now?"
Vermont's hand trembled, and he almost fell from his seat.
"It’s nothing. We just chatted."
Felicity did not ask any further as she filled his bowl with the dish she made. Then, she sat beside him and asked,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Does your company have a group chat?"
"Yeah. Why?"
Felicity's eyes sparkled. "Can you ask them to boost Stella's viewership, then? Bella's new drama is going to be aired
on
the same day as Stella's. I'm kind of worried about her premiere's viewership."
Vermont chuckled. "There are only about a hundred members in the group chat. I doubt they're going to help
much."
Felicity slumped her shoulders in disappointment as soon as she heard that.
Vermont comforted her after seeing how disheartened she looked. "The shows haven't even aired yet. It might not
turn out as bad as you think it will."
Felicity was not expecting anything. She knew how difficult it was to compete for viewership against a popular
drama like World Peace.
However, she was still going to sit in front of the television and contribute to the viewership of her best friend's
drama on that night.
Felicity had connections, and she could see the live viewership data of various channels in real-time.
She watched the drama while keeping a close eye on the data.
As expected, the first episode of World Peace had a peak rating of more than 4, which was considered excellent.
The first episode of The Palace scored 1.3, which was considered average.
Felicity thought that The Palace had no chance to beat World Peace anymore, but The Palace's viewership began to
spike suddenly when the second episode was aired.
It started from a mere 1.5, and slowly increased to three and even surpassed it.
When she went to check on World Peace's data, she found out that its second episode was not aired on that day.
However, that channel unexpectedly broadcasted an interview with the R&D team of Vinci Rivera.
At the same time, both dramas topped the trending searches on various online platforms. Felicity watched the
hashtag #WholsTheActressPlayingTheEmpresslnThePalace slowly climb up the charts.
Keegan managed to get The Palace a chance to turn the table around after the premiere. The viewership of The
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPalace stayed in the top three for the next few days, and its viewership kept increasing bit by bit.
World Peace's premiere rating had surpassed 4, and it remained at the top. However, its overall viewership rate
was declining. It was only able to keep the netizens talking about it because of its intimate scenes between the male
and female leads.
On the other hand, the topics revolving around The Palace focused more on the plot and acting skills. More and
more people started mentioning Stella's name because a gorgeous yet talented actress like her was extremely
hard to find in the industry.
Felicity had a feeling that The Palace was going to blow up, and Stella would become a superstar. Soon, the era of
capitalistic beauty standards would be reshaped as well.
The competition between the two dramas was very intense. Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the set of Motives of
Murder was very awkward.
The two female leads of both dramas were the female lead and supporting actress of Motives of Murder, so
comparisons between them were inevitable.
Stella did not want to have anything to do with Bella, so she would keep a distance from her as soon as she filmed
her part.
