Chapter 11
Chapter 11 Killjoy Aaron felt upset witnessing Simone’s attack on Jodie. He believed she was
intentionally causing trouble. Just as he was about to speak up, Simone averted her gaze, appearing
disinterested in their argument. Aaron swallowed his words, but he couldn’t help feeling annoyed. He
never realized his sister could be so bothersome. Simone turned to the director and questioned, “Did
you forget to provide the bed accessories? Even if we try to find some or exchange with the villagers,
it’s too late. And it’s not like the villagers have what we need. We require a significant amount of
supplies.” This village was remote and underdeveloped.
They would be fortunate to have enough provisions for themselves, let alone any surplus. The other
guests, aside from Aaron and Jodie, agreed with Simone. Bartering was impossible, so they had to
request supplies from the production team. Leon spoke up, “She’s speaking on behalf of all of us.” He
wanted to be friendly towards Simone, but she didn’t even acknowledge him, much to his
disappointment. Zac chimed in, “We aren’t asking for much. Just one set of accessories for each of us.”
Then, remembering something, he added, “Oh wait, Jodie and Aaron won’t need them, so we only
need six sets.” Aaron didn’t expect Zac to continue pestering them. What an irritating man. He sneered.
“Why aren’t you giving us any?” Zac raised an eyebrow. “You said you could handle things. You
claimed you would do as the director instructed. I thought you were going to get through this without
the supplies, so why the sudden change in attitude? I can’t believe you would change your tune so
quickly.” Clearly, he was insinuating that Jodie and Aaron had no integrity. Jodie and Aaron had no
response to that. Aaron had said he could manage, and Jodie had said she could endure. Since Aaron
couldn’t win an argument against Zac, he turned to the director.
“See what you guys can do.” He would protest if they didn’t provide any supplies for him and Jodie. He
couldn’t endure the hardship, let alone Jodie. The director had a few thoughts running through his
mind. It’s a good thing I agreed to have these two as guests. It’s creating dramatic tension on the first
day of shooting. The premiere is going to generate a lot of buzz. He wasn’t planning on leaving the
guests without any bedding supplies. If any of them were to fall ill, they would be in trouble. This was
just a small challenge they had set up for the guests. Once the guests realized this, they would
exchange their own supplies or work for them. However, the director didn’t anticipate the fight between
Simone and Jodic. He smiled. “Of course we can provide them for you.” He then added, “But not for
free. You have to earn them.
If we give everything away for free, it would deviate from the theme of the show.” The guests fell silent.
This guy is up to something. Leon asked, “So what’s the condition?” The production team is being
honest… If they hadn’t done this, Simone and Jodie wouldn’t have started fighting. The director smiled.
“It’s simple. Prepare one dish for us during dinner. Each of you should make one dish. It’s for the
production team. Then we’ll give you a set of supplies.” Leon pondered the terms for a moment.
“Should the dish be raw or cooked?” “Cooked, of course,” answered the director. Zac was left
speechless. I’m a terrible cook. How am I supposed to do this? “Do I have to cook it myself, or can
someone else do it for me?” He added, “I just don’t want you guys to get food poisoning from my
cooking.” Amused, the director said, “I understand. Just provide one cooked dish.” In other words, they
didn’t have to cook anything themselves. “We have pots, pans, and seasonings in the kitchen, but we
don’t have any other ingredients.” The director checked the time. “It’s around two o’clock now. We
should have enough time to buy the ingredients.” At that moment, the guests realized that the shortage
of bedding supplies was a setup by the production team. “Sure. We’ll do our best.” Since it was part of
the show, no one objected. The director then mentioned, “We only have four rooms here, so you’ll have
to share a room with another guest. Do you want to form your own teams, or should we draw lots?” Zac
quickly responded, “We’ll form our own teams. I don’t want to share a room with any troublemakers.”
He glanced in Aaron’s direction. Aaron sneered. “The pot calling the kettle black. I don’t want to stay
with you either.” “That’s great,” said Zac. The director was more than surprised. The show had just
begun, and the top two guests were already feuding with each other. This is going to make for a
successful show. None of the other top celebrities in the industry would do this. Only them. Everyone
else would just keep quiet no matter how annoyed they were. I’m glad I pulled some strings and got
Zac on the show. He’s the real deal, and he has a sharp tongue. It’s worth the favor. We’re going to
trend today, baby. Zac looked at Eric. “Want to be roommates?” He chose Eric because he didn’t like
Leon. Eric wouldn’t refuse, and he smiled. “Sure.” Aaron knew Leon, and he preferred to be roommates
with him. “So, we’ll share a room, Leon?” Leon nodded. “Sure.” On the ladies’ side, Leyla asked Jodie,
“So we’ll be roommates, Jo?” Jodie knew Leyla had her sights set on Aaron, and it displeased her.
She held nothing but disdain for this woman. Aaron would never fall for someone like her, and Jodie
wouldn’t allow it. Still, compared to 2/3 the annoying Simone and the complete stranger Keira, she
would rather stay with Leyla. At least Leyla was her follower, and Jodie could easily control her. Jodie
nodded, smiling sweetly. “Sure.” Keira breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t want to share a room with
either of those two. One was a gold digger, while the other was a fake and malicious person. Both of
them were difficult to handle. Simone was better. She smiled at Simone. “That means it’s just the two of
us. Want to share a room?” Simone nodded.
“Sure.” And then it was time to choose their rooms. Keira and Simone didn’t mind which room they
stayed in, so they let everyone else pick. Aaron suggested that Jodie and Leyla should have the first
choice. The ladies feigned reluctance, but when Leon instructed them to make a selection, they opted
for the one adjacent to the living quarters. The men graciously offered Keira and Simone the other
room, which was in close proximity to the living room. Keira and Simone accepted without hesitation.
Zac swiftly claimed the room near the courtyard’s entrance, leaving the one beside the kitchen for
Aaron and Leon. Aaron felt frustrated that he had been a step too slow.
