From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter 23

The second episode of Sweet Love ended on a high note.

Backstage, Oscar couldn't stop grinning as he checked the viewer ratings that had skyrocketed past the first episode's numbers. But he knew he had to address Keaton's irritating behavior. He turned to Bobby and said, "Give Keaton a warning! I'm heading to the live studio to brief the contestants about moving into the Sweet Love apartment." This week was set to be packed with intense training sessions, where the contestants would have to live and eat together. They'd be streaming live from morning to night.

Over sixty gorgeous women were in front of the camera, and viewers could watch their daily lives. They might even catch them without makeup and get to know their true personalities. The idea alone was enough to get people pumped.

Plus, Oscar had secured a bunch of brand deals, which meant cash. The prospect of the potential earnings spurred him to hurry along.

When he walked into the live studio, he saw the contestants huddled together. Vivian was explaining how they would transition into the Sweet Love apartment. "You can plan your move for tomorrow or the day after. Pack your bags and get ready to settle in. If there are no other questions, let's all take a couple of days to unwind and meet up again next Monday" After Vivian wrapped up, she turned and spotted Oscar.

Oscar's smile widened, and he joked, "Vivian, you'd better hurry: Mr. Luther is waiting for you downstairs, and he's getting

restless.

"Mr. Luther really dotes on you; he can't bear to be apart even for a minute."

Vivian shyly tucked a strand of hair behind her car. "Yeah, we're inseparable. I can't escape him, and he can't escape me."

Alright, enough chitchat. You really need to get moving, or I might just get too sweet from all this," Oscar replied with a smirk.

Vivian laughed and nodded a few times before quickly walking over to Darren. The two linked arms and strolled out of the live studio together.
