“Mr. Zimmerman, I’ve found a way to make money, and I thought you might want to know about it…” “What? Tell me now, I need that cash!” His voice was filled with urgency.
“Do you know Leia Osborne? I’ll ensure you lead a worry-free life as long as you ruin her reputation.” There was a low chuckle on the other end of the line.
“Sure, I’ll get to it now.
My company is great at ruining reputations and creating social death, so just wait for my good news!” After ending the call, Shirley smiled wickedly.
After Xavier stopped kissing her, Leia immediately backed away from him.
“Xavier, you’re really the most shameless and arrogant person I’ve ever met!” Although Xavier’s perfect face was red from her slaps, he wasn’t embarrassed at all.
In fact, he seemed quite proud of them as he showed them off.
“Being shameless is just a means to get what I want…
which is you.
You should know that I hate beating around the bush.” “Hmph! You claim you’re straightforward, but you never faced your true feelings back then, did you?” Leia recalled their past relationship, remembering the pain she had soldiered through during that time.
She had been infatuated with him and had wanted to give him everything, but now, she had regained her wits and didn’t want to make the same mistakes again.
“Yeah, I didn’t handle it well, and I lost you.
That’s why I know now how important it is to be straightforward,” Xavier said solemnly and took a step towards Leia, his gaze intense.
“Let’s stop fighting, okay? We’ll take this trip as a fresh start, so let’s fix things and spend the rest of our lives together, okay?” However, Leia remained quiet.
Her face was bathed in sunlight, and the breeze toyed with her hair.
Xavier suddenly held his hand out for Leia to shake.
“Hello, Leia Osborne.
I’m Xavier Stuart, and I’m glad to make your acquaintance.” “T…”” Leia stared at his outstretched hand hesitantly.
She would be lying if she said she wasn’t moved by his sincerity, but she didn’t know if they could really start over after everything that had happened.
However, before she could reply, they reached their destination.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Villa Amour! It’s now time to pick a house.
There are six houses with different conditions here, and they’re in separate locations on the island.
You can pick whichever you like, but it’s first come, first served!” Leia’s eyes lit up when she heard that, and she pushed Xavier away as she rushed to get the nicest house.
“Hurry up! I want a house that faces the ocean!” Xavier watched in bewilderment sas Leia zoomed away, and vaguely wondered if picking a house was more important to her than their future together.
Leia ran faster than everyone else, and managed to pick the best house there.
Xavier, on the other hand, was left with the last house because he was slow.
It was a very small cottage without a roof, and his jaw dropped when he saw it.
Being used to a life of luxury, he immediately turned to the crew and protested, “How can I stay here? I want a different house!” “I’m sorry, Mr. Stuart, it’s the rules.
The guests have to compete for the houses, and the person with the most points wins the right to change their house,” Billy explained to Xavier patiently.
Although Xavier was the president of Universal Entertainment, he still had to obey the rules of the show.
If not, the audience would make a fuss.
“I can change my house…” Xavier rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then asked, “How do I get more points?” “It’s very simple— you just need to do more farm work.
We have farmers on the island, so you can earn points by feeding the farm animals, helping them give birth, or even by cleaning up the farm.
Xavier groaned and said miserably, “Are you sure this is a dating show? This sounds more like illegal free labour.” Billy just laughed awkwardly and shifted the blame to Adam.
“You know that Adam is the director of this show, and he’s just finished shooting Happy Days.
He likes the guests to get their hands dirty, especially because he sees more of a reaction that way.” “How do you expect me to look charming while I’m picking up manure and helping a pig have babies? I have to hand it to Mr.
Jiminez, he certainly comes up with the most unique ideas,” Xavier bit out furiously.
“Fine! You want me to earn points, right? All the manure for the next few days is mine! No one can snatch them away from me!” Xavier rolled up his sleeves, then looked around and asked eagerly, “Where are the pigs? I’m going to help with the farrowing, and then I’ll roast the piglets for dinner!” “Umm…
There’s no rush, Mr.
Stuart.
Why don’t you check out your room first—” Xavier interrupted Billy impatiently, “It’s just a cottage; there’s nothing to see.
I’ll find that pig and make it my partner, and then your view count will be over the top, won’t it?” “You…
You don’t have to make such a big sacrifice, Mr.
Stuart.” Frightened, Billy wondered if Xavier had gone crazy.
However, the audience was very excited.
(Oh, my! Xavier wants a pig as his partner.) [He’s really strange.
How could he do this for the view count?) [I want to be that pig!) After calming down, Xavier obediently dragged his luggage to the cottage.
It was very small and only had a bed in it, and it reeked of fish.
Xavier just sighed resignedly and laid on the bed, realizing that the only good thing about the cottage was that its roofless design gave him a beautiful view of the sky.
“Wow, it looks amazing.
I’m sure it’ll be nice to stargaze here at night…
even more so if Lei could be here with me.” Xavier grinned goofily as he fantasized about watching the stars with Leia in the cottage.
Meanwhile, the other guests were jealous of Leia for getting a large house that faced the ocean.
“Lei, this house is my dream house.
How did you know we had to compete for the houses?” Megan asked as she leaned against the balcony railing, her eyes gleaming.
If Megan knew that she had to compete with the others for their houses, she wouldn’t have taken her time speaking to Skylar as they got off the boat earlier.
“It’s what Mr. Jiminez usually does.
I’ve been watching his reality shows, and I know that he loves to torture the guests with these tricks.
