Chapter 104 Just a Friend
The result surprised everyone, but Nina and her friends were warned as well. Joan didn’t get to find out why Victor and Damian could stay, and that annoyed her. She guessed that Abigail was involved in this, but she told herself that Alana probably asked a favor from Sean for her assistant’s sake.
The next afternoon, the production team held a picnic in the hotel’s courtyard. The hotel had a big courtyard, and its lush fields cheered the mood of anyone who saw it. Joan learned her lesson and came early to take a spot. Sean, however, didn’t show up that early.
While there weren’t a lot of people around, Nina took a seat beside Joan and whispered, “Say, do
think Victor’s staying because of Quinn?”

Joan was in a bad mood, and hearing that made her frown. “Quinn is just an assistant. Sean doesn’t care about her. She’s not worth his time. Must’ve been Alana who helped them.”
Damian and Victor came. Damian saw Nina and Joan whispering among themselves, and he
nodded at them with a smile. The moment he turned around, however, his face fell.
Kevin talked to him. He said Victor could stay and keep competing for the prize, which was all thanks to Alana’s team. They argued with Sean and almost quit the show for this. He was told to treasure the chance they got. He thought if he worked together with Nina and kicked Alana’s team. out, he would have the biggest chance at victory, but that plan backfired, and he was saved by the most powerful competitor he had in this competition.
Abigail told Luna to go to the courtyard alone. She waited at the doorway for a moment and saw Sean coming out of his room. A team came to film them, and Abigail approached Sean without hesitation. For some reason, Sean’s heart skipped a beat when Abigail approached him. The closer Abigail was to him, the heavier he breathed.
Abigail stood in front of him, looking friendly. “Let’s go, Mr. Graham.”
Sean nodded and took a step ahead. A moment later, he stopped. “How do you feel?”
“Fine,” said Abigail quietly.
The filming team caught their scene quickly enough, and they went after them. Abigail thought Sean would hold back in case Joan saw this, but he seemed to ignore the camera. “How’s your leg? I told someone to get you some meds. Throw out the one Victor bought for you.”
The netizens had arrived. When they heard what Sean said, they got excited.

‘Holy sh*t. I can’t believe what I’m hearing. I am so jelly.’
‘Hah, and they say this ship has sunk. LMFAO, b*tches. Suck my dick! I knew Sean would surprise
me every time.
‘So, the regular girl and bossy rich guy story is real? Fairy tale is real?”
‘You’d believe this obvious scam when a real foreign prince is right here in front of you? Gimme a hundred bucks, and I’ll do a face reveal.
Everyone in the chat was teasing. Abigail was a little dazed. A moment later, she said, “Victor’s meds. are fine. My leg’s all healed. It doesn’t hurt now.”
Sean couldn’t get mad in front of the camera, so he said nothing. Abigail remembered what Kevin told her. She kept convincing herself to cajole Sean, then she said, “I’ll send it to my family.”
“I bought a lot for you. You don’t need his meds,” said Sean.
“Yeah, sure.” Abigail obliged, since she couldn’t fight him. After all, he did deign to get her the meds. They each took a step back.
When Joan saw them onscreen together, her smile froze, but then she kept smiling. “Sean is here.”
The last time Luna was onscreen with her, she didn’t even bother faking friendship. Luna held Kevin. “Tell the production team to have my assistant and Mr. Graham show up on the screen together. The audience loves this.”
Kevin nodded with a smile. He then noticed Joan and the look on her face, and he grinned. “Victor’s nice too, but Mr. Graham likes your assistant.”
Victor was suddenly summoned. He quickly stood up and waved his hands. “Ms. Quinn and I are just friends. I won’t get any ideas about her.”
Nina said sarcastically, “Oh, you bought meds for her and dealt with all her daily hassles. You call that just friends‘?”
