Chapter 64 A Scene Too Dramatic
“Okay,” replied Abigail.
One of the live–stream cameras followed Sean and Abigail as they walked away. After the pair entered the separate guest room, the camera stopped at the door instead of following them inside.
These five minutes were considered private time for the two of them.
Sean closed the door and gently locked it before turning his head to look at Abigail.
Abigail’s cheeks were flushed; thanks to the red wine’s strong aftereffects, she was now heavily drunk. As Sean looked at her, she suddenly stepped forward and tugged at his hand, saying, “How
could you be so cruel?”
Fearing that they might be overheard by those outside the room, Sean dragged her to the couch by
the window in the room and sat her down. “What do you mean by that?” His voice lacked warmth as
always, but it softened a lot without him realizing it.
Emboldened by drink, Abigail stared at the face of the man before her with bright, watery eyes. She
said aggrievedly, “Can’t you tell that I really need your help? I know this is a show, and you’re being
fair, but I really lost the draft because I was startled by Joan’s sudden arrival.” She argued with good
reason, “Had it not been for your connection with her, that kind of thing wouldn’t have happened,
and I wouldn’t have lost the draft. How could I make a mistake if the draft wasn’t lost?”
Sean leaned back on the couch, watching her red lips move as she rattled on and on. Then, his
slowly fell on her clothes. “Did you change your clothes just because I asked you to?”
“That’s because I wanted to please you to make you help me,” replied Abigail, sounding rather
frustrated. “You’re so hard–hearted. It’s like no matter what I do, you’ll never be satisfied, and
won’t be happy. It’s so easy to make you angry.”
Aren’t you the one who is angry… and asking for a divorce? thought Sean inwardly. “Is there anything else you want to say?” he asked.

Abigail complained in a mumble, “Why did you drink from my bottle all of a sudden? Joan is the
person you care about. Don’t you fear that she’ll get jealous and that the netizens will call you a sc*mbag? You never clarified the rumors between you and her… You drank from my bottle regardless of how it might affect me. I’ll certainly get criticized for this.”
Instead of explaining himself, Sean merely listened to her muttering to herself.
Sean had no choice but to give up. He stood up and straightened his clothes, saying to Abigail, “Get up. You’re drunk, so you should go back and rest.” It had previously been agreed that if someone got drunk, they could quit the game early. After all, they were being streamed live. If someone got drunk and threw tantrums or did something outrageous, it might affect the show’s reputation.
Abigail lay down on the couch right away. She felt very sleepy.
“Tsk.” Sean clicked his tongue before grabbing her wrist to pull her up.
Abigail slumped into his arms as though she were boneless. “I’m so sleepy…”
Sean held her firmly, wrapping his arms around her while she was in a drunken state.
He pushed the door open while holding the drunken Abigail, who had passed out and was leaning
on his shoulder.
The crew member backed away with the camera.
Sean said in an impassive voice, “She’s drunk. Get her boss here to take her to rest.”
The crew member following the cameraman rushed to inform Luna of what was happening.
Before Luna hurried over, viewers of the livestream were in an uproar.
A viewer commented, ‘If this isn’t love, then what is?! She’s just an assistant, you know? Look at
Sean’s hand–it’s placed on her waist the whole time to prevent her from falling.’
Another viewer chimed in, ‘Sean is shifting his body weight backward. Obviously, he’s letting her press herself on top of him! Oh, my God! It’s so sweet for her to lean on his shoulder! I’m dying!
Are they really not a couple?!‘
Another viewer commented, ‘Even couples don’t seem this compatible, right? Sean’s expression is obviously much softer than when he went in, and his gaze has been focused on her the whole time. It’s clear that he’s head over heels in love with her! This has to be a dating reality show! Why isn’t it
labeled as such? I want to see them getting all lovey–dovey!‘
When Luna arrived to see Abigail slumped in Sean’s arms, she was utterly shocked. This scene… was
incredibly dramatic in the context of the entire show.
