The next day, Wyneth and Lauren rose and spent the better part of the morning tidying up. It was past 6:00 a.m. and there was no sign of the show's crew coming to knock for filming."Why haven't they come by today? Maybe they've learned their manners after yesterday's fiasco?"Wyneth chuckled at the comment. The showrunners wanted to capture female stars in their natural state for the shock factor. But now, they had Finn. There was no longer anything more sensational than Finn. All in all, other gimmicks paled in comparison to the draw of a top-tier celebrity. Wyneth kept her thoughts to herself, merely saying, "Let's step outside and see.""Okay."Lauren followed her out. Just as they crossed into the courtyard, they spotted a familiar face—Giada. Compared to yesterday, her makeup today was more vibrant, her heels even higher. It was clear that she had put in effort to look her best. They saw her standing there, peering inside with an expression of eager anticipation."Giada?" As
The arrival of Finn had caused the production crew to reshuffle their filming strategy overnight. After all, their plans already included different challenges for every day. Yesterday's events were meant to be solo efforts, but today, they decided to divide the participants into small teams of their own choosing. If anyone was left without a team, the crew would assign them one.As yesterday's team leader, Derek was the first to question, "How many in a team?""Pairs or trios; either works."No sooner had this statement landed, than Finn strolled in, fashionably late. He was clad more casually than the day before; a dark blue shirt paired with black trousers, his glossy forehead concealed beneath a black baseball cap. All that was visible was the stunning beauty of his eyes and the tight press of his lips. As he entered, cameras swiveled his way, not only the lenses but also the eyes of the crew and the other guests. For Finn, who had performed countless concerts, being the center o
If they were to pair up, given the current gender ratio, the most logical combination would be one man and one woman per team. Otherwise, the discrepancy in physical strength might be too glaring. Among the three female guests, Giada had a penchant for pulling rank, and her attitude from yesterday left a sour taste in everyone's mouth—no one wanted her on their team. Lauren, on the other hand, was young and prone to complaints. Not knowing much about each other, most gravitated toward Wyneth, whose calm and poised demeanor marked her as the best choice.When Lauren saw Wyneth pair up with Derek, a wave of panic seized her. Though she had only just met Wyneth, she had found herself leaning on Wyneth's calm demeanor throughout their journey together, feeling a burgeoning sense of reliance. She had initially hoped to pair up with Finn—the dream team being herself, Wyneth, and Finn. But now, with Wyneth and Derek paired up, anxiety got the best of her. "Isn't two people per team a little
'What's with the guilt-ridden feeling?' thought Finn.With the formation of the two teams, they all parted ways, each given their designated tasks.Originally, the plan was for Finn to manage their team, but to everyone's surprise, Finn crossed his arms in a defiant stance, haughtily saying, "I'm not handling this stuff." His sole reason for being on this show and in this team was his sister—Wyneth. He did not want to bother with the rest. Thus, Derek had no choice but to assume the mantle of team leader once more and took the task book.Upon seeing the location, he said, "We have quite a few tasks today. Let's head out." The team promptly moved to follow Derek.After the departure of Derek's team, Harry and his team also received their task book. After some consultation with Henry, Harry took on the role of the leader. "Let's move out," he said as he and Henry made a move. Upon looking back, they noticed Giada was still standing in her place, her eyes fixated on Finn's retreating
The ranch's cart was primarily used for hauling goods, its rear end a typical mess. However, because of Finn's involvement, the staff had thoroughly cleaned the back seat overnight, even laying out a clean, attractive cushion. While Finn looked displeased at the sight of it, the others, especially Lauren, were pleasantly surprised."I thought we'd be riding in some dirty oxcart when they mentioned it, but this is actually pretty clean," Lauren said.Wyneth did not respond. It was evident the show's team had hastily prepared and cleaned this oxcart specifically for Finn. But, clean or not, it was a cargo cart, with no proper seating—only cushions. And one had to hop up to get on it.As team leader, Derek was the first to hop on. Turning back to Wyneth standing before him, he extended a hand. "Come on."Finn's gaze hardened. 'This little punk!' Just as Wyneth was about to reach for Derek's hand, Finn could not stand it any longer. He rushed forward, sweeping Wyneth's hand into his ow
When they arrived at their destination, Lauren was still in a daze. It was Derek who had helped her down from the oxcart. She looked at Wyneth, wanting to approach and chat with her while affectionately looping an arm through hers. 'But... she knows Finn. By the way Finn is treating her, could they possibly be... a couple?' This realization filled Lauren with a wild excitement that quickly transformed into a touch of sorrow. 'If I were to approach Wyneth now, she would surely think I'm just trying to suck up to her, right?' The more she thought about it, the sadder Lauren felt.Lost in her thoughts, she heard Wyneth call out, "Lauren." Looking up, she saw Wyneth not far ahead, gazing back at her. "Are you planning to play the snail back there?" Lauren stared at Wyneth's fair, beautiful cheeks for a moment before abruptly bolting forward as if jolted into action, tightly clinging to Wyneth's arm. "Of course not!""Let's go then.""Alright!"As Lauren followed Wyneth, the cameras shi
As the destination approached, Giada was overcome with an insurmountable feeling of irritation, keen to unleash her fury. But due to Finn's involvement in the show, she felt obliged to suppress her emotions. Instead, she softened her voice, pleading with an air of melancholy, "I'm not blessed with a strong constitution, you know. It's not like I asked for this. Can't you help me out?"Harry was truly vexed. He, too, wished to vent his frustrations, but the ever-present camera crew forced him to swallow his anger. With him being the only young male in the team, he grudgingly circled back to Giada and asked, in a stereotypically blunt male fashion, "What kind of help are you expecting? It's not like I can carry you, right?"The very idea of having him carry her had indeed crossed Giada's mind but seeing Harry's apparent revulsion nipped that thought in the bud. 'Who does he think he is? I'd rather have Finn carry me if it came to that. What's Harry to me anyway?' With a sweet smile, Gi
Like when Wyneth wanted to participate in a variety show, Finn tried to dissuade her but failed.So, Finn stayed with her. The same thing happened when Wyneth asked him to leave but he would not listen either.The stubbornness ran in their blood, and they could never persuade each other to do anything.They were just one of a kind.Before they began, Derek asked, "Finn, do you want to make a bet?"Finn narrowed his eyes cautiously as soon as he heard the word "bet". "What kind of bet?"'Is this guy really into my sister?'I'm going to punch him in the face if he dares to drag Wyneth into this.'Derek smiled faintly as he looked at Finn's hostile gaze."I was just thinking that if I won, can you follow me back on Facebook?"Finn was stunned as he heard that. "What?"'Is that it? That's all he wants?'"Is that all?"'No way. It can't be this simple. I'm sure that this brat is just using me to get closer to Wyneth.'Things would be so much easier for him once he got closer t
