Chapter 82 I Wish That I Could Take Care Of You

After a ten-hour flight, their flight arrived at the Velana International Airport in the Maldives.

As soon as they alighted from the plane, they were greeted by a refreshing sea breeze that seemed to contain the salty scent of the ocean, but it was not unpleasant.

Tina, who had been gluing herself to Shay throughout the flight, was exhausted when she exited the plane. She wrapped her arms around Shay’s neck like a koala bear and dozed off when they were on their way to the hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Shay first made arrangements for Tina to sleep in a room on the ground floor before moving his luggage into the suite. He then took a look around the place and arranged everyone else’s accommodation. “Courtney, you and Tina should take the first-floor room since it is larger. I will take the room downstairs.”

Courtney handed him a glass of water. “You must be tired now. Drink some water, and I will go and take a look upstairs.”

 

He burst into a guffaw. “You don’t have to be so nervous. I’m not used to you acting so courteous around me.”

She helplessly looked around the house, which was filled with cameras, and sitting in a tent placed in the corner of the living room was a cameraman, who was pretending to be invisible—it would be difficult for her not to be nervous in such a place.

 

“I don’t think I can do this. I have a feeling that the upcoming five days will make me break down.”

“Don’t worry and just relax. They will focus on shooting Tina and me, and they will cut out most of the scenes if you are caught on the camera.”

She hesitated for a moment before her eyes suddenly lit up. “What if I have Tina to follow you most of the time starting tomorrow? If the two of you have less interactions with me, I guess that I won’t be caught on camera.”

Her words rendered him speechless.

“Tina will be in your care for the following two days, then.” After saying that, she went directly upstairs.
