Karina pulled up to the destination with Jack just as the clock struck two in the afternoon.
Both were starving, but they put their hunger on hold to introduce themselves to the programâs crew first.
The team had a nifty concept: capturing the joys of rural life with a revolving door of guest participants.
Up till now, their guests had been the cream of the crop, A-listers mostly.
But for this episode, they rolled out the welcome mat for Jack, still a rookie in the world of entertainment.
When the invitation landed in Karinaâs lap, she couldnât help but feel like sheâd hit the jackpot.
Curious, she asked Dillon Truman, the big cheese of the production, why Jack was picked for the show.
âJackâs the talk of the town online,â Dillon told her.
âPlus, the audience loves a fresh face, especially a good-looking one, to shake things up.
â
A weight lifted off Karinaâs shoulders.
Jackâs online popularity wasnât just smoke and mirrors; their competitor had stirred the pot enough to get him noticed.
âHi, Dillon.
Weâve arrived,â Karina announced, catching sight of Dillon deep in conversation with a handful of crew members.
âAh, Karina!â Dillon, who was in his early forties, greeted her warmly.
Then he gestured toward a man in his early thirties.
âMeet Donn Boyd from Lewis Group.
Theyâre footing some of the bill for our Little adventure here.

Without missing a beat, Karina extended her hand.
âPleasure to meet you.
â
The main investor showing up on set?
Now that was a curveball.
Was he here to keep an eye on some starlet or something?
Karina didnât give it much thought.
âSo, youâre the famous agent Karina Glyn?â Donn eyed her from head to toe.
âYouâre quite a looker.
What a waste youâre not in front of the camera.
â
He gripped her hand a bit too long, his eyes full of some unspoken intention.
Karina gave him a polite smile and gently but firmly pulled her hand away.
