Xavier''s sudden participation in the show unsettled Leia, and she even felt like withdrawing from the


    show.


    Santiago noticed Leia''s difort, 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.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    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," Leiaughed, 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


    bing, and wanted to use this show to get them together.


    Unfortunately, Xavier hade out of nowhere, and Adam had no idea how things would go now.


    Atst, 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 Renee.


    She grabbed Renee''s hand and said miserably, "I''ll be away for a while, Ren.


    Take good care of yourself and wait for me toe 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!" Renee''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.


    I might as well breach the contract than be apart from you for a month!" Renee smirked at her dramatic


    friend.


    "Do it then.


    Stay with me every day and don''t spend time with your idol." “Heh...


    I was just joking, Ren! I''ve been waiting for this chance for such a long time, and I''m finally going to


    date Mr. Dalton! He''s been my idol for such a long time, and now..." Leia said dreamily.


    "Okay, that''s enough.


    Hurry up and get going, and stop acting like a lovestruck fool." “what? No, I''m not!" "Yes, you are.


    You''re a fool in love." “Ren, stop teasing me!" The two friends started bickering with each other.


    After Quinton had finished his work, he went to the ward to see Renee right away.


    He entered the ward and frowned at the two women as he approached them.


    "Stop messing around, you childish girls.


    Why are you both acting like kids when you''re almost in your thirties?" Quinton said helplessly as he


    stood between them.


    Instantly, Renee and Leia both scowled at him.


    “How can you say that, Quinton? Don''t you know that age is a very sensitive issue to women?" Renee


    huffed as she put her hands on her waist.
