“Haha! Skylar, you’re too much!” Everyone burst out laughing.
Adam could only sigh because this was exactly what he was afraid of.
Only Santiago could compete with a big shot like Xavier, and the other guests would eventually just fade into the background.
Additionally, the show’s direction would have to change according to what Xavier wanted, and Adam had a feeling that he and the crew were in for a tough time.
He would definitely face backlash from netizens if the show changed too much.
Adam’s head began to hurt at the thought of it.
Xavier glanced at the silent Leia and smiled charmingly.
“Can I call dibs on the woman I’m interested in then?” “Wow, it looks like Mr.
Stuart came here to capture his target! I’m looking forward to it!” Megan giggled, trying to get on Xavier’s good side.
She was the most popular female star in the show for a reason, and she sensibly decided to befriend Xavier once she realized he was pursuing someone already.
“I wouldn’t join something I can’t win at.
I’ll definitely get what I want by the end of this show,” Xavier murmured, staring at Leia intently.
Everyone immediately knew then that Xavier’s target was Leia.
“You’ve got great instincts, Mr.
Stuart— Miss Osborne suits you best out of all the female guests here.
Both of your families are a part of the Great Eight of Beach City, plus, you guys are of the same age and have known each other since childhood.
It’s a match made in heaven! The show hasn’t even started, but I’m already invested in you both as a couple,” Hugh, the actuary, said witha smile.
“You can’t say that! The possibilities are endless since it’s a reality dating show.
You might like someone in the beginning, but that might change as you spend time with other people.
Nothing is fixed right now,” Adam said desperately, trying to get the show back on track.
If everyone set their sights on someone from the very start, the show couldn’t progress the way he wanted it to.
“You’re right, Mr.
Jiminez.
And I’m curious too…
Miss Osborne, is there anyone here who’s caught your eye?” Xavier asked Leia with a mischievous smile.
Leia finally looked up at Xavier and said firmly, “Isn’t it obvious? Of course it’s my idol, Mr.
Dalton…
He’ll always be my only choice.
W The conference room immediately became silent, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Xavier and Leia were both very passionate and direct, but unfortunately, they were interested in different people.
Clearly, Leia didn’t return Xavier’s affections, and had no issue with humiliating him because of it.
Everyone looked at him anxiously, expecting him to fly into a rage since he was rumored to have a bad temper.
Usually, nobody would dare to provoke him.
However, Xavier didn’t seem angry at all; on the contrary, he broke into a wide smile.
”What a coincidence…
Ido love a challenge! I’m sure you’ll change your mind once the show is over, Miss Osborne.” “Wow, Mr.
Stuart is getting competitive! The other guests had better think of some strategies, or else they’ll get left behind.” The staff had started taking sides too, hoping to please Xavier.
The highlight of the show had now become Xavier and Leia’s game of cat and mouse, and everyone was certain that the mouse would never be able to outrun the cat.
Xavier’s sudden participation in the show unsettled Leia, and she even felt like withdrawing from the show.
Santiago noticed Leia’s discomfort, and leaned in to whisper in her ear, ”Do you want to leave? I can run away with you if you want to.” “Yes, I do…
but Mr. Jiminez will kill us if we do.
Plus…” Looking up at him, Leia said shyly, ”I don’t want to lose this chance to spend time together with you.” Santiago smiled warmly at her.
“Don’t be afraid then.
He’s just another guest, and we can always ignore him.” “Heh.
I didn’t expect you to be such an easygoing person, Mr. Dalton,” Leia laughed, and she and Santiago continued chatting happily, turning the atmosphere lively again.
Xavier was seated far away from them, but he could see everything that was going on.
His indifferent expression morphed into a cold one, and his eyes narrowed menacingly.
“You guys are already whispering to each other? Aren’t things moving too fast? You’d better save all that for filming and sign the contract first.” Adam had long noticed how close Santiago and Leia were becoming, and wanted to use this show to get them together.
Unfortunately, Xavier had come out of nowhere, and Adam had no idea how things would go now.
At last, both Leia and Santiago signed the contract, and they would start filming for the show three days later.
Before leaving, Leia reluctantly said goodbye to Flossie.
She grabbed Flossie’s hand and said miserably, “I’ll be away for a while, Flossie.
Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back!” “I know you like Santiago and that you’re going to be on a dating show with him.
It’s a great opportunity, isn’t it? You should be happy; there’s no need to cry.
Enjoy it!” Flossie’s injury had almost healed, and she could sit up now.
She gently wiped away Leia’s tears as if she was coaxing her daughter.
Leia whined, “I can’t bear to part with you.
Plus, men aren’t as important as my bestie.
