"Haha! Skylar, you're too much!" Everyone burst out laughing.
Adam could only sigh because this was exactly what he was afraid of. Only Santiago could compete with a big shot like Xavier, and the other guests would eventually just fade into the background. Additionally, the show's direction would have to change according to what Xavier wanted, and Adam had a feeling that he and the crew were in for a tough time. He would definitely face backlash from netizens if the show changed too much.
Adam's head began to hurt at the thought of it.
Xavier glanced at the silent Leia and smiled charmingly. "Can I call dibs on the woman I'm interested in then?"
"Wow, it looks like Mr. Stuart came here to capture his target! I'm looking forward to it!" Megan giggled, trying to get on Xavier's good side. She was the most popular female star in the show for a reason, and she sensibly decided to befriend Xavier once she realized he was pursuing someone already.
"I wouldn't join something I can't win at. I'll definitely get what I want by the end of this show," Xavier murmured, staring at Leia intently.
Everyone immediately knew then that Xavier's target was Leia.
However, Xavier didn't seem angry at all; on the contrary, he broke into a wide smile. "What a coincidence… I do love a challenge! I'm sure you'll change your mind once the show is over, Miss Osborne."
"Wow, Mr. Stuart is getting competitive! The other guests had better think of some strategies, or else they'll get left behind." The staff had started taking sides too, hoping to please Xavier.
The highlight of the show had now become Xavier and Leia's game of cat and mouse, and everyone was certain that the mouse would never be able to outrun the cat.
