Chapter 50
"Did you enjoy it, though?" Zane asked. He glanced at all the production staff, whose eyes were always on them. He scoffed, "I guess not. We’re getting recorded all the time, anyway."
"I’m enjoying it," Madeline said. She leaned on his arm. Her eyes still stared at the hill, counting the monkeys that she saw.
She sat on this spot because, from this angle, none of the cameramen could record her face. She needed to relax a bit after having to play this bitchy character for a while.
"Really?" Zane asked. Her answer surprised him because he thought she would continue to play the character she invented to stay relevant.
But she sounded genuine, and her voice was sweet and soft.
But it was only a split second before she raised her voice again to make herself sound mean: "Yeah, because all of these monkeys look like you. So ugly, ewww."
Zane laughed at her awkward way to turn the tide. She probably had a moment of weakness because she was trying to relax.
"Have you fallen in love with any of them yet?"
"S—Shut up," Madeline said, hitting his chest playfully, which felt like a tickle for Zane.
Madeline was annoyed with this man.
She had been trying her best to act like the worst bitch to go on a date with, but Zane kept on catering to her, making all of her rants into a funny joke; sometimes, he would flirt with her and make her lose focus.
Zane might be a great teammate to win a game, but he was terrible to date, especially when she had a mission.
