The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“You like Santiago too? He’s very nice and charming. What’s more, he’s professional, humble, and virtuous. In short... he’s my
idol, the one and only one!” When Leia thought of Santiago, she smiled and thought, ‘Xavier, so what if you have your first love? I
have an idol I admire too.’
“Mr. Jiminez, do you know Santiago? I heard that he’s pretty aloof and rarely befriends people in the entertainment circle, ” Leia
asked him curiously. At first, she was not very interested in the shrewd director, but when she heard that he admired Santiago
too, she felt as if she had found a kindred spirit. Her mood improved too, and she was friendly to him now.
“We’re way more than that-we’re close friends. I’ll let you in on a secret... Santi owes me a big favor, so he’ll surely come here if
I invite him,” Adam raised his head and said proudly. If a person could pacify such a difficult character in the entertainment circle,
they were truly capable regardless of how wide their connections were. It was something they could boast about forever.
“He once was a guest actor in my movie. There was a scene where he needed to dive into the water. Santi was very
professional, and even though others got substitutes to do it for them, he wanted to do it himself. Unfortunately, he nearly
drowned, and I jumped into the water to save him. That’s why we’re close now.”
“Oh, I know that. Is that the rumored drowning accident during the filming of Abyss 2? Mr. Jiminez, you’re so great. You saved his
life as well as his many fans’ lives!” Leia still remembered the news. Some people claimed that it was a rumor while others
claimed that it was true. Now that she gained the affirmation from Adam, she admired him and Santiago even more.
“So, what do you think? Would you be willing to be a fixed guest of this show if I can invite Santi over?” Adam finally circled back
to his main purpose.
“Yes, of course. I’m willing even if I have to pay.” Leia nodded eagerly. “I never dreamed of shooting a show with my idol. It’ll be a
lifelong memory even if it’s just an episode or two!”
“If you’re alright with it, we can sign a contract. After all, Shirley is sick, so you can take her spot,” Adam offered, wanting Leia’s
confirmation quickly.
His enthusiasm confused Leia. “But Mr. Jiminez, I’m not a famous person or star... I’m just an ordinary person. Why do you want
me to join this show? Fixed guests have a lot of scenes, so aren’t you afraid of me ruining your reputation?”
“That’s impossible. I’m still counting on you to help me advance to the next level!” Adam patted her shoulder and said brightly,
“I’m good at judging people since I’ve been in this industry for so many years. You’ll become a hot topic and definitely be favored
by the audience. You’re born to be a star. You’ll definitely shoot to fame after the show is broadcasted!”

“Fine, you have my word,” Leia agreed to it directly. She didn’t care that much about fame, but since she was running a company
now, she should at least take the offer to advance her business. She could build a foundation for her career too, and she’d have
close contact with Santiago. She couldn’t think of a single disadvantage!
“But...”
