Santiago regained his wits and held her hand to come ashore. He had missed her three years ago because of his cowardice.

Three years later, fate had put them back together again, so it had to be written in the stars. He would not let her go again.

"I caught quite a lot today, so I'll fry mudfish for you. What flavor do you like?" Santiago smiled and asked her.

"Eh? Are...Are you going to cook for me?"

Leia thought she heard him wrong. He said he wanted to cook for her instead of everyone else. It meant that the dish was just for her.

"Yeah, I'll cook for you. What flavor do you like?"

Santiago repeated himself. He did not want to beat around the bush now. After all, Xavier was upfront, and if Santiago behaved superficially, she would never have feelings for him after filming ended. She would only see him as her idol.

And that was not the identity he wanted.

"Oh, my! You're so nice to me, I'm flattered! I'm fine with whatever you cook, but if it's okay with you, make it sour and spicy. I like sour and spicy food," Leia said excitedly.

After spending some time with him, they had become close. They were no longer a star and his fan, but good friends. Santiago left to cook, and Xavier stood up.

"Let me get the firewood ready for you." Xavier sneered and drove everyone away before he followed Santiago into the kitchen.

Xavier's fierce demeanor made the enthusiastic onlookers hold their breaths.

"Uhm... Is he going to get the firewood ready? He looks like he's going to set someone on fire instead!�

Leia scowled angrily. "Getting firewood ready? You live like a prince. Do you even know what firewood looks like? You want to help, but you shouldn't waste others� time!�

At first, Leia planned to get the fire ready for Santiago while he prepared the fish, so they could cook together later and deepen their relationship. But before she could say that, Xavier came out of nowhere and ruined all her plans. She could not figure out why he liked to meddle in her affairs.

He had meddled earlier when she wanted to ride in the pickup with Santiago, and did the same when she wanted to catch mudfish and cook with Santiago. He was the big shot of a large entertainment company; did he have nothing better to do?

"It's none of your business. After all, we have a shameless person here with us, don't we?" Xavier put his hands in his pockets and looked at Santiago coldly. It was obvious that he was ridiculing Santiago.

"Why would you say such a thing? You..." Leia was so enraged that Xavier had humiliated her idol again.

He claimed that her idol was pretentious, and now, he was even saying that he was shameless. Of course, she couldn't take that lightly.

"It's fine.� Santiago smiled and stopped Leia. He calmly retorted, "Being shameless is a skill too. Some people want that, but they don't have such a talent.� JrNovels.com
