The conference room had been buzzing with cheerful energy just moments before—laughter, chattering voices, and the comfortable air of a crew about to embark on an exciting new project. The reality show lineup had seemed perfect: three dashing men and four lovely women, a formula everyone felt would create chemistry and drama in equal measure.
But then Adam’s expression shifted.
His face, normally calm and authoritative, turned pale and troubled. He began wringing his hands nervously, his eyes darting from corner to corner like a man searching for an escape route that did not exist.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Jiminez?” Leia asked hesitantly, her voice breaking through the cheerful noise.
The room quieted immediately. Every head turned toward Adam, their curiosity sharp and heavy.
Adam placed both palms on the desk and exhaled as if he were about to confess a terrible secret. “There’s going to be a small change to our show. Initially, we only had three men and four women, but… we now have another male guest joining us. That gives us a total of four men and four women.”
“Ah! Well, I think it’s a good thing to have another male guest because now we’ll have exactly four pairs. It’s much more interesting this way!” Megan said eagerly, her voice dripping with artificial sweetness.
“Yeah, she’s right. No one will be left behind, and it won’t be that awkward either,” someone else chimed in, nodding confidently.
The room seemed to relax. A few guests even smiled, imagining new possibilities.
But Adam did not relax. He looked even more strained.
“Yeah… he said that too,” Adam mumbled, then let out a deep, heavy sigh. “But this guest is a bit special. I’m afraid we can’t shoot the show normally if he’s here.”
Silence fell like a curtain.
“Which big shot is it? How popular is he that he can even affect the shooting?” Skylar, always arrogant, raised his chin and scoffed. “I’ve met quite a lot of big shots, but I can’t imagine who this person could be. Who’s this guest joining us? Tell us!”
Leia’s heart tightened as she stared at Adam’s nervous expression. A strange unease crept up her spine like cold fingers. She knew Adam too well. He was not a man who flustered easily. For him to be this shaken, the incoming guest must be someone truly troublesome—and worse perhaps, someone Leia herself knew very well.
“It’s… it’s hard to say.” Adam hesitated, averting his gaze to the floor as if bracing for a battle he could not win. “He’ll be here soon though. You can see for yourself.”
One breath. Two breaths.
Then the door swung open with sudden, theatrical flair.
“Hey, he’s here. Let’s give him a warm welcome!” the head of the PR department of Star Entertainment announced excitedly. Behind him, a group of executives swarmed around the newcomer, practically falling over themselves to open the conference room door and clear a flattering path.
A familiar silhouette stepped inside.
“Hello, ladies and gentlemen,” the man said, his voice carrying that unmistakable air of casual confidence, as if the entire room and every person in it were his stage. “It’s an honor to shoot this show with all of you, and I hope we can learn from each other from now on.”
Leia froze.
Her eyes widened. Her jaw clenched. Her mood soured faster than milk left in the hot sun.
She recognized that arrogant, condescending voice instantly.
Xavier.
Her hand slammed against the table in a silent, furious punch. A curse burned in her throat, swallowed only through sheer willpower. How could he be here? Why was he here? Was this fate mocking her?
“Oh, it’s… Mr. Stuart,” Megan gasped in surprise, her initial shock melting into a calculating smile. Her mind raced. With his identity and rank, Xavier would undoubtedly become the centerpiece of this show. The camera would follow him everywhere. The audience would adore him. If she could link herself to him somehow—anyhow—she would be able to rise high in the entertainment industry. Even a scandal would get everyone talking.
“Mr. Stuart, the cream of the crop! It’s great to have you on board.” Skylar, who had been arrogant just moments earlier, suddenly transformed into a humble, sycophantic admirer. A mischievous grin spread across his face. “Are boy-to-boy relationships allowed in this show? I call dibs on Mr. Stuart if they are.”
Some people laughed. Others clapped politely. But Leia sat frozen in her seat, her heart pounding with frustration and warning.
The nightmare had only just begun.
Xavier’s gaze swept across the room, and when his eyes met Leia’s, there was a knowing glimmer in them, subtle but predatory. This was no coincidence. Leia could feel it in her bones: this man had come for reasons far deeper than a reality show.
And no one in that room—except Leia herself—understood the danger.

Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:
Oh, what a deliciously tense chapter! The way Adam’s fear escalates, the sudden shift in atmosphere, and Leia’s rage at the sight of Xavier—it all makes for a gripping reading experience. I absolutely love how Megan’s opportunistic nature and Skylar’s fake humility highlight the cutthroat entertainment world. Leia’s reaction was raw and powerful, and I could practically feel her fury across the pages. The chapter ends in a suspenseful and uneasy place, leaving readers eager to see what havoc Xavier will unleash next.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
Next Chapter Prediction:
In the upcoming chapter, Xavier will likely try to cozy up to Leia in front of the cameras, forcing her to maintain a professional facade while boiling inside. Megan may also make her move to cling to Xavier for fame, only to realize she is nothing more than a pawn in his unpredictable game. And Adam, meanwhile, might reveal some hidden truth about why Xavier was chosen as a guest—just as Leia decides she will never let her former husband control her fate again. The battle between past and present is about to explode!
