Chapter 1311
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âYou like Santiago too? Heâs very nice and charming. Whatâs more, heâs professional, humble, and virtuous. In short⦠heâs my idol, the one and only one!â When Leia thought of Santiago, she smiled and thought, âXavier, so what if you have your first love? I have an idol I admire too.â
âMr. Jiminez, do you know Santiago? I heard that heâs pretty aloof and rarely befriends people in the entertainment circle, â Leia asked him curiously. At first, she was not very interested in the shrewd director, but when she heard that he admired Santiago too, she felt as if she had found a kindred spirit.
Her mood improved too, and she was friendly to him now.
âWeâre way more than that-weâre close friends. Iâll let you in on a secret⦠Santi owes me a big favor, so heâll surely come here if I invite him,â Adam raised his head and said proudly. If a person could pacify such a difficult character in the entertainment circle, they were truly capable regardless of how wide their connections were. It was something they could boast about forever.
âHe once was a guest actor in my movie. There was a scene where he needed to dive into the water.
Santi was very professional, and even though others got substitutes to do it for them, he wanted to do it himself. Unfortunately, he nearly drowned, and I jumped into the water to save him. Thatâs why weâre close now.â
âOh, I know that. Is that the rumored drowning accident during the filming of Abyss 2? Mr. Jiminez, youâre so great. You saved his life as well as his many fansâ lives!â Leia still remembered the news.
Some people claimed that it was a rumor while others claimed that it was true. Now that she gained the affirmation from Adam, she admired him and Santiago even more.
âSo, what do you think? Would you be willing to be a fixed guest of this show if I can invite Santi over?â
Adam finally circled back to his main purpose.
âYes, of course. Iâm willing even if I have to pay.â Leia nodded eagerly. âI never dreamed of shooting a show with my idol. Itâll be a lifelong memory even if itâs just an episode or two!â
âIf youâre alright with it, we can sign a contract. After all, Shirley is sick, so you can take her spot,â
Adam offered, wanting Leiaâs confirmation quickly.
His enthusiasm confused Leia. âBut Mr. Jiminez, Iâm not a famous person or star⦠Iâm just an ordinary person. Why do you want me to join this show? Fixed guests have a lot of scenes, so arenât you afraid of me ruining your reputation?â
âThatâs impossible. Iâm still counting on you to help me advance to the next level!â Adam patted her shoulder and said brightly, âIâm good at judging people since Iâve been in this industry for so many years. Youâll become a hot topic and definitely be favored by the audience. Youâre born to be a star.
Youâll definitely shoot to fame after the show is broadcasted!â
âFine, you have my word,â Leia agreed to it directly. She didnât care that much about fame, but since she was running a company now, she should at least take the offer to advance her business. She could build a foundation for her career too, and sheâd have close contact with Santiago. She couldnât think of a single disadvantage!
