After Hayden and others spent more than ten hours on the plane, they finally landed at the airport of the Maldives.
As soon as they got off the plane, they felt the refreshing breeze from the sea. They could almost smell the fishy smell, but it wasn’t unpleasant.
Stella had been attached to Freddie all the way. After getting off the plane, she became tired. On the way to the hotel, she was like a koala -- hanging on Freddie’s neck and dozing off.
After they had arrived at the hotel, Freddie firstly sent Stella to bed in a room on the first floor. Then he carried in the luggage. After walking around, he arranged the rooms.
“Hayden, you can stay upstairs with Stella, as the room upstairs is bigger. I’ll stay downstairs.”
Hayden handed a glass of water to him. “Thank you. Have some water first. I’ll go check upstairs.”
Freddie burst into laughter. “You don’t need to be so nervous. Seeing you so polite, I feel really awkward.”
Hayden looked around helplessly. This room was fully installed with cameras. In the tent at the corner of the living room, there was a cameraman hiding inside, pretending to be an invisible man. How could she not be tense?
“I really can’t do it. I’m afraid I’ll break down in these five days.”
“It’s all right. Relax. They focus mainly on Stella and me. They’ll also cut off most of your scenes during the post-production.”
Hayden hesitated for a moment. Suddenly her eyes lit up.
“How about I let Stella follow you from tomorrow on. As long as you both don’t interact with me, the cameramen wouldn’t chase after me.”
Freddie was speechless.
Hayden quickly said, “All right. Please take care of Stella these few days.” Then she went upstairs.
It was already dusk. The night breeze blew in.
Pushing open the glass door of the balcony on the second floor, Hayden could see the orange sea reflecting the setting sun in distance, sparkling under the sunlight. On the beach, there were coconut trees and the shadows of them. A few couples were having a walk along the seashore.
Hayden supported on the balcony and inhaled deeply, feeling refreshed.
She hadn’t been so relaxed for a long time.
Although it was an accident to shoot this traveling program with Freddie, she was still quite grateful for this opportunity a lot. After all, it was a rare opportunity to travel on the business fare.
Suddenly, she heard a ding -- the message tone on her cell phone. She pulled it out from her pocket and looked down, and from the corner of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure downstairs.
Instantly, her heart skipped a bit. She raised her head and looked over at the gate of the cafe next to the swimming pool, only to find a man in a beige casual shirt sitting with his back to her. This man looked like him.
Hayden was shocked by this sudden thought appearing in her mind.
‘Are you crazy? How could you mistake it was him?’ she thought to herself.
While she was wandering, there was another message coming in. She came back to her senses and looked down to read the message from Freddie.
“Stella is still sleeping. I’m going downstairs to grab something for dinner. You can come down to stay with her.”
Hayden replied: “OK.”
As she sent the message, she turned around and went downstairs. While she was turning around, she just missed that in the cafe downstairs, a little boy was climbing onto the chair with his all fours opposite to the man.
He wrote a line on the small drawing board.
“Why don’t we go to them directly?”
The man unhurried took a sip of the tea. “No hurry. There are cameras around them. It’s inconvenient.”
The little boy was a little unhappy. Pouting his lips, he looked upset. Then there were a few more lines appearing on the drawing board.
“Anyway, if I can’t meet them, I won’t go home. You can’t go home either.”
