Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Everyone saw how they whispered to each other like a young couple, and figured that Leia was very special to Xavier. Thus, they fawned over Leia even more.
“Miss Osborne is so cool and fun.”
“What’s more, she looks obedient. Maybe she’ll become popular after this show.”
“If it’s possible, Miss Osborne’s participation in the show will certainly cause ripples. There’ll surely be drama if anything happens between her and Miss White during filming.”
Shirley looked at Xavier and frowned. “Are you going to say yes? You’re the president of Universal Entertainment, but you’re bending over backwards just to please a woman!”
“So what if he’s a president? He’s a human just like everyone else. It’s just a variety show, it’s not like he’s going to suffer,” Leia scoffed. “I recall that your first movie was with Halston, the CEO of Guajardo Enterprise. Mr. Guajardo became an actor just to gain his wife’s heart. Xavier doesn’t feel that he’s wrong to join a variety show either, but you think we’ve wronged him. If you keep this up, people might get the wrong idea and think you’re from a noble background. Why don’t you tell us what kind of background you have?”
“Why, you!” Shirley gnashed her teeth. She wanted to argue but couldn’t say anything. Her background had been a taboo topic for her, and she had worked hard in the entertainment circle for so many years to get rid of the humiliation brought on by her family. However, Leia’s words pulled Shirley back to reality.
When she put it that way, others might feel that Shirley was not a princess but just put on airs as if she was one.
“It’s getting late. Let’s not delay the progress of the crew,” Xavier finally said. “I’m not interested in picking mushrooms but Lei is, so I’ll shoot this show with her for commemorative purposes.”
“Oh, great! I believe that this show will be a wonderful one.” Adam knew that he could not dissuade Xavier, so he agreed to it reluctantly.
Hence, everyone set off for the depths of the mountains.
A videographer followed the group with a camera, recording all of their actions and words.
Adam sat in the studio, watching everything.
At first, he was worried that the episode might be ruined, and even decided to shoot another episode after Xavier and Leia left.
However, both Xavier and Leia were surprisingly interesting, especially Leia.
She was a tough woman with tons of energy, and she looked like Xavier’s significant other given the latter’s arrogant, germophobic, and weak nature.
As an outsider, he began to ship their romance too.
“Yes, get more footage of them! That’s exactly what I want.
I’m sure it’ll be popular when it’s broadcasted.”
Adam held a walkie-talkie and excitedly ordered the frontline filming staff.
He had been a director for many popular variety shows, so he could tell at a glance what kinds of scenes would be liked or disliked.
The first three episodes of Shirley had nothing interesting to show for, so he figured that this season would be ruined.
But now, it seemed like the show would be revived with the addition of Leia and Xavier.
There was a dense fog in the depths of the mountains, which scared the celebrities that were used to luxury and comfort.
They retreated, with nobody willing to lead the group.
“I heard that this mountain is filled with miasma, so the villagers generally go up the mountains to pick mushrooms in the afternoon.
Why don’t we wait for a while?”
Myra Enfield, the newly appointed captain of the female team, suggested carefully, not daring to move forward.
“Yeah, there seem to be all kinds of insects and snakes here too.
Maybe it’s better to wait.”
Shirley swallowed and echoed Myra’s words immediately.
The show was ongoing, so her agent and assistant were back at the camp.
She didn’t want anything to happen that might ruin her public image.
“This is a slow variety show, not a wilderness survival camp.
There isn’t any miasma, insects, or snakes…
What’s more, there might not be anything left if you come in the afternoon! “
Leia scoffed as she picked a Boletus.
Her basket had the most mushrooms, like termite mushrooms, lion’s mane mushrooms, and matsutake.
“I’m leaving, whether or not you come with me.
I’m not afraid of snakes.
If I bump into one, I’ll catch it and roast it for dinner!”
She dusted the dirt off the Boletus and put it in her basket, then set off energetically and left them far behind.
“Where is Leia from? Is she a local villager?”
“No, she’s the youngest and most adored lady of the Osborne family.
Her family is filthy rich.”
“Why can she handle so much though? She’s better than some of us, who came from poor backgrounds.”
The celebrities covered their microphones and gossiped about Leia secretly.
They knew that there was a camera rolling, so they didn’t dare to gossip too much.
Of course, they were talking about Shirley.
She came from a poor background, but she was pretentious and could not take hardships.
Shirley gritted her teeth.
People in the entertainment circle were very shallow.
They fawned over superior people and put inferior people down.
Before this, those people had tried their best to associate with her and please her when she was still supported in the past.
Now, after they’d learned that she would be suspended by Universal Entertainment, they started kicking her when she was down.
Shirley took a deep breath and quickly caught up with Leia and Xavier in front of her, trying to remedy her damaged reputation.
“Wait.
I’ll go up the mountains with you guys.”
