Chapter 8
Sebastian overheard Jamar and Sienna’s conversation, and surprisingly, he didn’t find them pretentious at all. In fact, he was quite pleased because it could potentially make the show trend right after it started.
Sebastian threw up his hands helplessly and said, “There’s nothing we can do. This is the only way to the village.”
Jamar was clearly unhappy. “Can’t you do something about it? Can the motorcycle get up there?”
Before Sebastian could even say anything. Maddox shot a look at Jamar and Sienna and said, “You knew we were coming to this remote village to film a variety show, but you still dressed like that. Who can you blame?”
He was just wearing casual sneakers. And everyone was dressed for hiking except for Jamar, Sienna, and Erica. It was their choice.
Maddox then added, “You guys weren’t really prepared for this trip, were you? So why the pretense now?” This totally took everyone by surprise, as they didn’t expect him to be so straightforward.
The other guests also thought that the rumors were true- Maddox had quite a sharp tongue.
Even Lexie and James were left speechless by the way these three people were dressed. “Going to participate in a survival variety show dressed like that? They were just asking for it,” they whispered to each other.
Jamar’s expression turned serious when Maddox teased him. “We didn’t expect to be living in the mountains,” Jamar argued. He had seen a similar variety show, and all the villages they had visited were easily accessible by flat roads.
And Leon had been hoping that Sienna’s look would really impress the audience. They didn’t expect the production team to be so harsh.
Maddox raised an eyebrow. “The production team told us we’ll be shooting in the middle of nowhere. Even if you didn’t expect a mountain road, why the normal outfit? Looks like you’re all set for an award show or something.”
That cracked everyone up, and it was kind of fitting, in a twisted way.
Sienna didn’t see that coming. Maddox being rude and sarcastic in public? It stung a bit.
‘He’s clueless about romance, for real, she thought. But the more he acted up,
the more
she wanted to win him over.
She held her ground. “I’m good. I can handle it.”
Jamar looked pretty annoyed, and Sienna was on the verge of tears. In her heart, Phoebe was cheering Maddox on.
Then Reece chimed in, “She probably didn’t expect a mountain road. It’s normal for girls to like skirts and heels, you know. Enough talk for now. Let’s figure out how to help the two ladies walk up without any trouble.”
Phoebe watched as Reece stepped up for Sienna, and she knew he was not just being nice. He was really trying to help Sienna out.
Maddox wasn’t having it. “So, Mr. Hill, our esteemed Oscar winner, what’s the plan now?”
Reece just stayed quiet. He had no idea what to do. But then he looked at Sienna, and when she shot him a grateful look, he turned to Sebastian. “Can you get a few motorcycles to take the ladies up there?”
He made sure to include all the ladies, not just Sienna. He didn’t want her to get special treatment and risk her popularity with the audience.
Sebastian said, “The mountain road is steep. Riding a motorcycle up there won’t be easy. Some locals do it, but we can’t take the risk of something happening. So, no go.”
