The Last Participant Part-2

[After that, the room I move to is.... Lucas's Bedroom...😱]

"Lucas, why are we here....😨"

"It's not like that😅. We're just because it's double-insulated."

[Lucas's face goes to 100% buisness mode]

"First of all, I've a question.Why didn't you tell the truth the moment you got fired?"

"If you had mentioned my name, it would have been easier."

"Because you asked for a favor, to keep it secret that day."

"A favor?"

"I wanted to tell Eiden a million times over, but you made me promise..."

"And I didn't want to say you were crying like a child😅"

"................!😶"

...[His eyes widen with astonishment 😧]...

[It also looks like as if he has a smile on👀]

"That's the reason? Alright, I've one last question."

"What kind of reward do you want from me, Ariel?"

"Reward?" *I solved the misunderstanding, is there a need for compensation🤔?But he's not just any office worker, he's the CEO of a hotel chain.I'm not in a position to worry about him right now!*

"Then I....Want my job back and a promotion,too! I want to work in this hotel again. In higher position!"

" I can for sure give you that, but just be aware....your sex scandal has spread like wildfire.Your reputation has likely been dragged through the mud at this point. Are you sure you can handle the gossip?🤨"

"Umm... That's..."

"Ofcourse, it's not like there's no solution at all."

[Lucas then calls someone(another secretary) through the speakerphone]

"Get a lawyer to my room right now!!I think we'll need to write up a contract."

"Yes, sir."

"Lucas,wait, what do you mean,write up a contract?"

"Ariel, I don't know about you, but this show is very important to me. It's an important promotional tool that will make our hotel famous."

"But at this moment...I can't accept the fact that you, someone who helped me, was unfairly fired."

"Why are you saying this to me?"

[Lucas looks at me with a seductive smile.😏]

"Why don't you join the show?"

"While participating in the show, you can stay in a luxurious suite without worrying about money. Besides that, you'll receive a huge guarantee."

"Go on....."

"I'm going to make a big deal out of this show. To do that, I need a spy to make the show more fun. If you accept, I'll pay you 5,000 dollars per day as a guarantee."

"What do you think?"

[Though I feel somewhat uncomfortable, I'm frankly intrigued by his proposal.]

*5,000 dollars a day....is more than 30,000 after a week! I don't want to be Lucas's spy but...I can't miss this chance!😲*

[I look at Lucas after much thought and answer.]

"Okay, Let's give it a try!"

[Lucas grins widely😁]

"Let's make a fun show together.I can't to see what kind of provocative scenes you'll come up with."

"Wait....those won't be sexual scenes, right?"

"I'm going to date a participant during the show so... It's possible that you and I might get a little touchy-feely."

"But as my spy, you can put a non-intimacy clause in the contract."

[Lucas mentions this and motions that he has a lawyer waiting outside to write up the contract]

"Well, read it carefully and sign it"

*There really is a "non-intimacy" clause.😲*

[I glance at Lucas's chiseled face....And at the broad shoulders every female employee is always talking about.]

*Is that clause really necessary?I mean...an 'unavoidable situation' might come up during the show.I'm not saying this because of how incredible he looks, either...*

"I.... Physical contact is fine with me, I don't care about touching, it's not even that big of a deal."

...[Lucas smiles casually at this]...

"Wouldn't it be unpleasant for you though? We might end up being a little 'touchy'."

[After listening to what he says, I happen to... remember the first time we met, a few days ago.]

*After recalling that day, what I feel inside me is the opposite of unpleasant. I just wanted to help.*

[But I say something else to Lucas.]

"I mean, the show has to do well I'd I want to get paid, right?"

...[Lucas smirks at this and chuckles]...

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're paid"

"I'll remember those words."

[I signed the contract and hand it to him]

[Lucas smooths his hair back with calmer face.]

"This show will only be filmed for a week, but it'll definitely make money."

"I'm going to make that happen."

[He's full of vigor and strong determination. In instant, he resumes his businessman routine. He crosses his arms and addresses me boldly.]

"Lastly, I'd like to ask you the same question as everyone else who is confirmed to be on the show."

"What would you do if you started to fall for me during the show?"

"I'd probably try harder tk make you fall for me."

[I say it to lighten the mood, but Lucas looks at me with a nonchalant face....For a moment I can feel the suppressed desire in his gaze.]

"That would be quite difficult. I'm open for business partners, but I'm not too keen on taking it further."
