Chapter 19: The Three-Person Showdown

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The three-hour journey quickly passed. When they got off the car, it was as if they were strangers, ignoring each other.

Kimberly heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that she would be able to make friends, but who would have thought that she would be a b*tch? She even wanted to chase after James.

However, when she pushed her suitcase into the resort, she was furious. Who could tell her why Keith was there?!

Why were all of them still there?!

While Kimberly was still in shock and thinking of a solution, Keith, who was dressed in fancy clothes, had already dashed forward and tried to hug her.

“Hiss…” Kimberly thought that she couldn’t dodge it. Just as she was about to use her suitcase to block it, a hand suddenly appeared beside her and pulled her to the side, just in time to dodge it.

“You!” Keith frowned as he looked at the person who suddenly appeared. A man’s intuition told him that the relationship between this person and Kimberly seemed to be extraordinary. “You are…James? Get out of the way, this has nothing to do with you.”

James was unmoved. “I’m sorry, do you two know each other? I just saw a rude person who seemed to be about to offend a weak lady.”

“I don’t know him! I was scared to death.” Kimberly found the right time to clear her name and took the opportunity to step away from the situation. “Thank you, James.”

“Kimberly, how could you…”

“I’m sorry, did I come at a bad time?”

Andrew Lock seemed to have just happened to interrupt Keith. He blinked and looked around the room. “What happened just now? I think I heard an argument.”

Although Keith was very tough in front of James, that was because their statuses were about the same. If they were to compete seriously, Keith might be better. When facing Andrew, who was obviously not of the same social class, he did not dare to be so impudent, he could only put on a fake smile and said, “No, Andrew, we were just greeting each other.”

Jennifer, who was walking at the back, looked at Keith and Kimberly thoughtfully. She was starting to suspect their relationship.

Maybe this could be leaked. Jennifer raised her eyebrows and tapped on the suitcase. She had made a decision in her heart.

“Sorry, Ally can’t come because of work.” The director wiped his sweat and ran over. “Our current plan will probably change to two-person teams and three-person teams. It seems that everyone knows each other? Then I won’t introduce you any further.”

He beckoned for them to enter the interior of the resort, then, he led them into a single villa. “This is where you will be staying for next week. We won’t interfere. Everything will be settled internally by you. Of course, the first thing is to confirm your own rooms.”

“Alright, we have already set up the cameras. We won’t disturb you. You can move around freely or exchange ideas to get to know each other. After all, this is a love variety show.”

The director rubbed his belly and smiled to encourage them. “This is the first episode. I hope you can do your best.”

The villa was divided into four floors. The basement was used as an entertainment area. There were entertainment facilities such as home theater and billiards. The first floor was the living room, bar and other public areas. The living area was from the second floor onwards.

The second floor had a total of three rooms. The third floor had a large master bedroom and a second bedroom.

Kimberly asked in confusion, “Weren’t there six people? What about the other room?”

“Dang, dang, dang.” The director clapped his hands and pointed to the nanny room on the first floor. “Congratulations on finding a blind spot. This was supposed to be a punishment for failing the mission, but we gave up on this activity because Ally was absent.”

“But because of your discovery, you can have the first choice.”The director winked at Kimberly.

“Then… Then I’ll take the master bedroom on the third floor. It looks the most luxurious.” Kimberly did not expect to get the first choice with just one sentence.

“No problem. Now, the only choices left are the second bedroom on the third floor and the second bedroom on the second floor. Next, we will play a small game. The winner will get the right to live on the third floor.”

The director invited them to sit at the bar counter and showed them a small blackboard. “Next is the decryption game.”

Keith looked determined. He gestured to his assistant, who was among the staff, and after getting confirmation from him, he sat down at the bar counter. He sat confidently in front of the bar counter.

Andrew noticed his little tricks, but this time, he was only here to relax and gain some popularity for the new variety show. The only thing that interested him was… he turned his eyes to James, he smiled and winked at him.

But as usual, he was ignored.

“He’s cheating,” Andrew mouthed to James, and then quietly pointed at Keith. He was watching the show like an outsider.

James pointed at his left ear with his index finger, which was their usual gesture–which meant I would win.

Wow, that girl’s background is not simple, that’s interesting. Andrew fiddled with the wine glass in front of him as he made wild guesses about her identity.

Which family was she from? James’s crush? No, that person would never have a crush. More like Keith’s crush, but Keith was not a good person.

How interesting…Kimberly, I will remember you.
