Chapter 12. The ShowAt the same time, the president's special assistant, slaving away at the company office, turned on his boss's stream during a rare moment of break. Seeing a comment calling Arman a "boss with a wonderful and gentle personality," the poor guy nearly burst into tears on the spot. The number of projects rejected by him sitting on my desk already exceeds all the salt I've eaten in my entire life!By the time they finished shopping, a whole hour had passed. For most of that time, Rita had not only been picking out produce, but also patiently teaching Arman the basics of botany. Meanwhile, whenever the girl got too absorbed in choosing and forgot about everything around her, Arman gently held her by the shoulders and pulled her closer to himself so no one would bump into her again.After all that hustle and bustle, Rita felt warm—her little face flushed with a soft pink. Barely coping with the stuffiness, she suddenly noticed a small stall with crushed ice and fruit syr

Chapter 14. The ShowAfter lunch, Nicholas and Lina very conscientiously stayed behind in the kitchen. Neither of them had really participated in preparing breakfast or lunch, so now they were diligently clearing and washing the plates. All four dishes had been cleaned out completely by the participants—a true "Clean Plate Club" initiative! By the end, the diners had even mixed the sauce directly into their rice to the very last drop. Everyone had eaten to such an extent that they seemed to have exceeded their quota for dinner too!Meanwhile, Rita returned to her room and, with a sense of accomplishment, checked off two boxes on her culinary research plan.Stuffed to the brim, Rita decided to go for a short walk to settle her lunch. Looking for something to do, she stepped out onto the balcony out of sheer boredom, looked down, and noticed a fish pond in the courtyard. Right then, the girl remembered that no one had fed the fish yet, it seemed. Inquiring with the production crew about

Chapter 16. The ShowThe smile on Luna's face withered to the naked eye. She glared intently at Rita, trying to discern whether the girl was mocking her on purpose, but couldn't find a single clue—sitting right before her was an entirely pure and innocent child.“Is it just me, or was Luna totally trying to dig a hole for Rita just now? Or am I overthinking this?”“Commentator above, what are you even on about? Luna was just showing care for her colleagues, why are you guys looking for a catch in everything?”“I sinfully thought something actually went down between Rita and Nicholas, but seeing how openly and calmly she talks about it, I get it: they're as pure as a May rose!”“Dying of laughter! Rita is so straightforward and pure-hearted that not a single shadow lands on her. She literally backed Luna into a corner with those fish!”“Hehehe, but did you guys notice something is off with Arman?”“Hahaha, that look doesn't say indifference at all—he's about to go crazy with jealousy!”

Chapter 18. The ShowHer tiny voice sounded fierce, yet it was terrifyingly adorable. At first, Arman didn't even understand what she was planning, but hearing those words, he froze for a fraction of a second, and the next moment, as if no longer able to hold back, he let out a low, velvety laugh. He obediently turned his head away, the corners of his lips remaining curved upward in a smile.Noticing that Arman had looked away, Rita dove back into counting her points, completely missing his stifled chuckles. Only when she finished drawing her cards and leaned back did she finally notice the distinct vibration of his chest. That was when it hit her: he was laughing! And putting two and two together, it wasn't hard to guess that he was laughing precisely at her!Rita felt like smacking him with her fist out of pure annoyance—what was so funny, anyway?! Still, her sudden "tactical maneuver" had failed completely, and feeling deeply exhausted by life, the girl decided to shift her attenti

Chapter 20. The Show“And Arman is such a good guy! The question seemed totally ordinary, but I bet my life he did it completely on purpose!”“+1, tactfully cleared Rita's name in front of the whole country! Girls, take notes on how to defend your exes (doge-emoji)”And just like that, accompanied by jokes and teasing from the viewers, the game gradually drew to a close. Outside the window, night had already fallen, and the guests couldn't help but start thinking about dinner.In the evening, actors Roman and Luna immediately declared that they wouldn't be having dinner: they had eaten way too much during lunch, so the evening meal was canceled for them.The remaining two couples unanimously decided to grab something light. Lina and Nicholas volunteered to showcase their culinary talents and cook their signature dish for everyone—homemade soup!To make the soup look more appetizing, thin slices of marbled beef and diced peeled tomatoes were added to the broth. Once the broth gained a
