“What’s the rush? There’s nothing urgent we have to do. Isn’t it nice to rx, have some coffee, and


    get to know each other


    better?” Xavier crossed his legs, rested his chin on his hand and watched her, smirkingzily.


    “Don’t you have anything better to do, Xavier?” Leia said through gritted teeth. Her patience was


    running out, and she wasn’t as


    shameless as the mean seated opposite her.


    “Nope, the most important thing for me to do is to be with you,” Xavier said flirtatiously as he sipped his


    coffee.


    “You’re crazy!” Leia pretended to vomit at his cheesy line.


    After a brief silence, Xavier asked casually, “I heard you’re going to join a love reality show that’s


    scripted to have you dating


    Santiago?”


    “It’s a rumor!” Leia dered.


    Xavier’s joysted less than a second as Leia added proudly, “I’m going to date Mr. Dalton; it’s not


    scripted at all!”


    “Leia Osborne!” Xavier called her by her full name for the first time, his tone threatening.


    “What’s the matter, Mr. Stuart?” Leia asked smugly, overjoyed at having pissed him off.


    “Are you trying to make me mad?” Xavier red at her icily. “It’s normal for couples to fight, but if you


    insist on bringing inanother person, the damage will be irreversible.”


    “A couple?” Leia raised her brows in amusement.


    “You and I? Or do you mean Mr. Dalton and I? If it’s the former, I think you’d better go see a


    neurosurgeon about your memory. Didn’t we break up?”


    “Couples only break up if they stop loving each other, but you and I care so much about each other.


    This is just a small argument, we haven’t broken up yet,” Xavier said confidently.

    “Egomaniac!” Angry, Leia got to her feet. “I’m not in love with you anymore. You’re just a disloyal


    scumbag, and I have no respect for you at all. You’d better go back to your beloved Shirley. Bye!” She


    stopped herself from sshing her coffee on him, and stormed out of the cafe.


    But Xavier was right. Leia had gotten pretty close to Santiago, and she happened to be on her way to


    an entertainmentpany


    to sign a contract with Santiago today. As the most lowkey top actor, Santiago never joined variety


    shows, especially if it was a


    show that wasn’t challenging. However, he had epted a love reality show with only one condition:


    that he be Leia’s partner.


    After leaving the cafe, Leia called Santiago. “Hi, Mr. Dalton. Where are you? I’ve just left the hospital.”


    “Turn around, Miss Osborne,” Santiago said gently.


    Leia turned around and saw Santiago wave at her from under the lush shade of a tree. He was wearing


    a mask, but his gaze


    was passionate and gentle. Leia’s heartbeat quickened, and a blush tinted her cheeks.
