"Dream on!" Leia scoffed as she pushed Xavier away, "You're shamelessness is just getting worse! You can't stay in my house, so get out!" She knew how reckless and impulsive Xavier could be, so she wanted to keep her distance from him. If he kissed her again, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
She wasn't going to let him get away with his cunning schemes.
Grinning, Xavier said, "Remember what you said, okay? Don't come crying and begging me later."
The other guests watched Leia and Xavier excitedly and teased them.
"Wow, this is totally a 'dominant president falls in love' romance. Miss Osborne, stop running away and just accept him!"
"I think we should rename our show to something like 'She Can't Escape'..."
"Mr. Stuart, you'd better stay here. After all, you guys are partners, so it doesn't matter where you stay!"
Leia sighed exasperatedly and massaged her aching temples. "Stop encouraging him. This guy is a ticking time bomb, and he just might come after you all too. Anyway, shouldn't you guys be siding with me instead of this creep?"
"Well, it is scary out here!" Smiling, Megan looked at Xavier dreamily. "A perfect guy like Mr. Stuart wouldn't do anything to us, so we've got to cozy up to him, right?"
Angel and Luna nodded vigorously.
"Exactly. Mr. Stuart is our Prince Charming, so it makes perfect sense to choose him." Luna gazed at Xavier fervently.
Adam replied wearily, "Xavier would be after Leia, Leia would be after Santiago, and everyone else would be after Xavier."
Adam's assistant clapped. "It's a perfect loop! How amazing!"
At that moment, Billy's voice echoed throughout the island. "Ladies and gentlemen, there's an issue with villager Jayden Parry's pig. It's time for action!"
Stunned, the guests looked at each in dismay. "What kind of issue?"
However, Xavier's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran towards Jayden's house without saying a word.
