Santiago walked over to Leia and tilted his head, smiling boyishly at her. "Are you Miss Leia Osborne, the young lady Mr. Jiminez finds interesting?" "Ah, yes… That's me!" Leia looked up at him shyly, struck dumb when she met his bright gaze. She sighed dreamily. 'He's so handsome… TV doesn't do him justice! He's so perfect and charming that I can't look away.""I hope we'll work together well." Santiago extended his hand to her, a warm smile on his face.Leia held his hand with trepidation, and felt her heart flutter when her sweaty palm touched his cool skin and slender fingers. She decided not to wash her hand for a week."Yes, I hope so too!" Leia said nervously, then immediately handed the bouquet to him. "These are wildflowers I picked by the road. It's... for you. I hope your future is as free and bountiful as these wildflowers." "Wildflowers?" Santiago took the bouquet from her and sniffed it. He broke into a happy smile, looking charming amidst the beautiful wildflowe
"There's a drain there. Help yourself!" Leia snapped at Xavier grumpily. Xavier's face fell. Even the stray dogs in the village got better treatment than him. Upset. he jumped out of the pickup and followed Leia.They both entered the store, and Leia meticulously picked water for Santiago. "Give me two bottles of pure water. I want the best and most expensive kind."She knew that Santiago needed that much since he watched his diet and drank only plain water from a high-end brand. However, this store had a limited selection, so they only sold ordinary mineral water.Leia became anxious. She took out a ten-dollar bill and urged the cashier, "Help me get some high-end pure water next time you restock. My idol loves to drink that." Xavier leaned against the cabinet and crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow at her mockingly. "It's just water, doesn't it all taste the same?" "You don't know anything!" Leia rolled her eyes at him. "There are different kinds of water. Some are pure lik
There were only two seats at the back and one seat beside Leia on their way back.Leia blushed and said to Santiago, "Mr. Dalton, you can sit with me if you're okay with it. Don't worry, my driving skills are very good. The car won't turn over, I promise."Santiago was amused by Leia. He sipped his water, his perfect facial features even more attractive under the sunlight. He scratched his thick hair and said, "It's fine. I'm not afraid of the car turning over.""How coy!" Xavier brushed past Santiago and took the front seat casually. "He's a star who earns money using his charms, so he can't take such a risk. I'd better sit here. After all, I don't need my face to earn money."His actions and words made everyone feel awkward.Leia clenched her fists angrily and gritted her teeth. "How shameless!"Santiago looked at Leia and Xavier, then raised his brows and smiled. "Mr. Stuart, I'll sit at the back since you like this spot so much.""How sensible of you." Xavier glanced at Sant
"I heard that Santiago is coming. Finally, I can see the mysterious top actor up close!" "Wow, I'm so lucky to be able to film a show with him. I have to perform well...""It's useless even if you perform well. Mr. Dalton is very aloof, so people can't even talk much with him. You'd better not waste your time."While they were talking, they saw Santiago and Adam get out of the pickup."Ah, he's indeed a top actor! He's so handsome even while getting out of a pickup. Why is there such a perfect man?" Myra, the newly promoted star, looked at Santiago dreamily, then enthusiastically went to him. "Mr. Dalton, welcome. You must be tired from your journey. Let me take your luggage for you."She tried to take Santiago's backpack but he frowned and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I don't like strangers touching my things.""Er..." Myra's face turned red in embarrassment. As expected, he was aloof... but not annoying. How flawless!Leia parked the pickup and leaped out of it. When she saw Sant
Leia looked up at Santiago in surprise, wondering how he could see through her. "How did you...""How did I know your thoughts?" Santiago smiled and said, "I'm an actor, and being observant is a skill we need."Leia lowered her head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry. You must think I'm an idiot.""Why would I?" Santiago said gently, "I think there's something very pure in you. It's hard for me to find that in the entertainment circle, so don't doubt yourself. You're much more outstanding than them!"Leia's gloominess instantly disappeared, and she felt happy again. "Mr. Dalton, let me show you around the house..."She behaved like a host and showed him around the house. "This is the kitchen where we cook. This is the cow's shed... Bessie is about to give birth, so the place is a bit stinky at the moment. This is where we have our activities. If you're bored, you can lay in this hammock and read. I love this area the best. Oh... The pond opposite us is nice too. I heard that there are a
Xavier put his hands in his pockets quietly, and watched the happy crowd from afar coldly. Even animals would be frightened by his menacing aura."They look so happy, especially Miss Osborne and Santiago. They get along so well that people may mistake them for a couple. Santiago looks very friendly too and isn't as aloof as they say he is. Miss Osborne is indeed very attractive and charming." Shirley looked at them and smiled, purposely making matters worse."She's indeed very attractive." Xavier finally broke his silence and spoke. He turned to look at Shirley. "If she wasn't, you wouldn't be so concerned about her."Shirley's expression changed, and she said awkwardly, "What... What do you mean?" "Aren't I right? You always talk about how she's a perfect match for others, and you watch her closely. Doesn't that mean that you care about her? Are you attracted to her?""Xavier, are you kidding me? Are you angry because I'm talking about her?" Shirley sneered. "I'm telling the tru
Someone carried Leia out of the pond and into the house. She heard the door creak, and then she was gently lowered down."Eh, Mr. Dalton, where did you take me to? Did you take me to a room? Well, I feel quite shy since we're alone in a room. Haha!" She closed her eyes and stood there obediently. Although she claimed that she was shy, she could not suppress her smile.'Oh, my goodness! This is the idol I've admired for so many years. I'd be more than happy to be in the same room with him even if we do nothing.'But he was indeed aloof. He carried her and said nothing, and she could even feel his cold aura. After a while, she heard footsteps again. He stood before her and used a wet towel to gently wipe her eyes and cheeks, attentive and gentle.Leia blushed and said shyly, "I'm not worthy to have you wipe my face for me like this… If your fans learn about this, they'll beat me up!""Hmph, you seem fine now, but why can't you walk when it comes to him?" A voice said condescendingly
Xavier was used to being a kiss-ass, so he was blind to the fact.Leia walked out of the room. The other celebrities had caught a lot of mudfish and returned to the house already.Santiago was the last to come ashore. When Leia was not around, he kept to himself and spoke to no one. He showed everyone a sullen face and maintained his image as the aloof top actor. "Mr. Dalton, what did you get? Let me help you!" Leia ran to the shore enthusiastically and extended her hand to Santiago.Santiago's gaze softened, and he smiled warmly. "Are your eyes okay?""Well, yeah. I just got a bit of mud in my eyes.""I'm sorry about what happened just now. At first, I wanted to..." He trailed off, feeling defeated. He had wanted to help her wipe her eyes but Xavier beat him to it and carried her off.Xavier had obviously been trying to challenge Santiago, and the other celebrities had watched curiously.He wanted to fight Xavier at that moment, but held himself back after much consideration.
