Soon, her body went limp, and she lost consciousness.
The woman standing in the shadows waited until she was sure that Flossie wasn’t conscious, then turned to the two men nearby and ordered, “Take her away!” Three days later, the crew started shooting The Choice of Love as scheduled on an island a few dozen kilometers away from Beach City.
The show had gotten a lot of funding because of popular guests like Santiago and Megan, and Xavier too as a big shot from the entertainment industry.
The crew had booked a whole villa for the six guests to spend time with each other.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this show is going to be a little different from other shows.
The cameras will start filming as soon as you step onto the island, and the footage will be streamed live worldwide except for when you’re using the washroom or sleeping.
Basically, just keep in mind that you’re being filmed, and please give us your cooperation.” Before they boarded the ship, Billy Hughes, the host of the show, explained the rules of the show again.
“No problem.
I’m not scared because I’m the same in front of the camera and in private,” Megan said enthusiastically.
She was famous for her straightforward character, and coupled with her innocent looks, she had earned the nickname ‘The Candid Megan ‘.
Alot of people enjoyed watching her on TV.
“Ugh, there’s no privacy at all…
it’s inhumane!” Angel muttered crossly.
She had the highest academic qualifications among the female guests, and she was known for her talents and aloofness.
Unlike Megan who fawned over Xavier and Santiago, Angel had yet to expose her preference.
“If you find it unacceptable, you can quit…
Does anyone want to quit?” Billy asked them as he stood at the ship entrance.
Nobody responded, so he grinned and continued, “Well, it seems like nobody’s backing out just yet.
Now, we’ll start the first session of our show called ‘In The Same Boat’.” “In The Same Boat?” Stupefied, everyone wondered what kind of trick the crew was trying to pull here.
Smiling, Billy explained to everyone, ‘Relax— it is what it is.
When we’re on the island, the eight guests will be divided into four teams by drawing lots.
It’s time to see who you’re destined to be with…
People who get balls of the same colour will be on the same team…
That’s what ‘In The Same Boat’ is.” The atmosphere became silent.
After a while, Skylar complained, “That’s so dumb! What if two men or two women get paired up?” Scratching his head, Billy grinned eagerly.
“There’s nothing wrong with that.
After all, our show is called The Choice of Love, so it doesn’t always have to be a same-sex couple.
People could even become great friends here! The possibilities are endless.” “It’s obvious that they’re trying their best to get viewers, but I’m looking forward to it.
We should just try to have a good time while we’re here.” Leia was quite eager.
“Yeah, that’s right! I don’t care who I get paired with, but I’ll surely fall for Miss Osborne if I get a cute partner like her.” Megan was a social person and wanted to get to know Leia better, and both seemed to have a lot to talk about.
“Cute?” Xavier burst into laughter.
“I’m afraid you’ve got her all wrong.” “Isn’t she cute? She’s got soft, chubby cheeks like a baby! Ooh, I just want to kiss those cute cheeks!” Megan giggled and wanted to kiss Leia on the cheek, but Xavier pulled Leia aside quickly.
“Nobody’s allowed to touch her like that,” he growled.
“That’s not your call to make!” Leia snapped and pushed Xavier away.
“As long as I’m comfortable with that person, they can touch me.
Muah!” Just to rub her point in, Leia kissed Megan on the cheek.
Everyone cheered excitedly.
Xavier gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself down because he couldn’t make a scene on live camera.
He had finally found a woman he sincerely loved, and now he had to fight off advances from men and women.
‘Karma really has it out for me,’ he thought miserably.
“Haha! That’s exactly what we want.
I wonder how everyone’s going to react when they’re on the boats…” Adam laughed as he watched the scene from his tent and smacked his thigh joyfully.
At last, it was time for the guests to be divided into their teams.
There were eight balls of four different colors in a paper box, and there was only a fist-sized hole in the box to prevent anyone from cheating.
Hence, it didn’t matter who the person was, they were all subject to fate.
“Okay, let’s see what colour everyone got,” Billy said eagerly.
Everyone revealed the ball in their hands, and the four pairs were Megan and Skylar, Luna and Santiago, Hugh and Angel, and Leia and Xavier.
“Damn, enemies really are destined to meet!” Leia groaned when she realized Xavier and her had both picked red balls.
Just when she wanted to get away from Xavier, destiny decided to mess with her.
If this had been one of his schemes, she would have refused, but it genuinely was a random result.
She would only look pretentious and spoiled if she made a fuss, so she resigned herself to silent fuming.
“Well, fate has spoken! You can’t say no.” Smiling victoriously, Xavier tapped Leia’s ball with his.
“Hello, my boat partner.” “watch it, or I might just kick you off the boat when we’re in the middle of the sea,” Leia growled under her breath.
“It’s okay, I can catch up to you even if you do.
You may not know it but I was once the champion of freestyle swimming,” Xavier boasted, completely unbothered by Leia’s aloofness.
He firmly believed that the law of the jungle was the truth, and would do everything in his power to win.
To him, his love for Leia was more important than his dignity.
As he watched them, Santiago smiled and commented lightly, ” Fate or not, compatibility is what matters most.
