She Becomes A Hot Sensation After A Scandalous Affair
Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 78

Madeline and Zane left for their second date today. He wore a beach shirt and short pants, while Madeline wore a summer hat and a flower-pink summer dress.

They looked good together, but Madeline was still the source of attention in the resort because she looked charming wearing the flower dress.

"You look good today," Zane complimented as he helped Madeline get into the car by holding her hand.

"You look handsome too, but I’m sure you’ve heard that many times before," Madeline chuckled.

"Yeah, I heard that many times. But it feels different when you’re the one saying it," Zane said before he kissed her hand.

Madeline blushed. She had to admit that Zane was very skilled at flirting. She didn’t like flirting, but Zane made it so natural that she couldn’t do anything but accept it.

’If only Lance was as flirty as him...’ Madeline thought. But it only took a split second before she realized what she had said just now and quickly pulled her hand away. "Stop it, you flirt."

Zane only laughed, and he entered the car with Madeline.

"So, where are we going today?" Zane asked the staff as they drove out of the resort.

"You are going to the Lempuyang Temple, which is very popular in Bali, and take a photo in the Gate of Heaven," the staff said, mentioning that famous spot for Instagram pictures. "After that, you two will have dinner and go to watch the traditional Kecak Fire Dance in Uluwatu Temple, and then we will return to the resort."

"Return to the resort?" Zane frowned."What about our honeymoon bungalow?"

"It got washed by the tide yesterday, so no more honeymoon bungalows," the staff parroted what the Producer, Miss Valerie, told her to say.

"Got washed by the tide?" Madeline questioned. "But this is not the high tide season yet. The bungalow can’t get swept away."

"T—That’s what they told me. So, anyway, let’s just go on with this, okay?" The staff said nervously, afraid Madeline would keep inquiring about the honeymoon bungalow.

Madeline went quiet after that, but she realized that Zane was getting annoyed by the sudden change.

’I guess I should be grateful for this change. I don’t know if I can keep rejecting Zane’s advance,’ Madeline thought. ’That damn Lancelot Grant should’ve rewarded me with something for being so chaste and loyal to him, even after he betrayed me.’

Madeline and Zane walked side by side, holding hands tightly while pacing through Lempuyang Temple. They were given a personal photographer so they could take pictures at every spot they wanted.

This date felt more like a photoshoot with the number of photos they took. But at least they finally stood in the middle of the famous’ Gate of Heaven.’

They were wearing white and blue Bali sarongs.

Madeline and Zane faced each other, staring at their lovers’ eyes while the camera took continuous pictures of them. Zane was the first to break and smile while staring at his woman.

"You’re so beautiful, Madeline," he said. "If only I could make you mine, I’d be the happiest man on earth."

"You don’t need me to be happy," Madeline chuckled. "I’m sure you will have plenty of happy memories in twenty-three years."

"I do," Zane said while caressing Madeline’s cheek. "Most of them are about you."

"You’re so good at flirting, I’m about to faint here," Madeline half-joked because she was actually feeling the heat, whether it was because of the sun or his words. She didn’t know.

"Then faint, because I will catch you," Zane said before he leaned and kissed her lips.

Madeline was caught off guard, but quickly adapted and draped her hands on his shoulder, letting the cameras take pictures of them from every angle.

Zane’s kiss was soft. He was gentle and caring, as if he was catering to Madeline’s needs.

Madeline should be happy with him. After all, Zane was every woman’s dream man.

But even when they were kissing in such a romantic place, she could only think of that bastard, Lancelot Grant.

Zane was an amazing kisser, and she was more than satisfied, but something felt... empty.

Because deep down, when she closed her eyes, all Madeline could think of was her first kiss with Lance.

It was quick, but it set off thousands of fireworks in Madeline’s mind and freed hundreds of butterflies in her belly.

’Something about him makes me feel things,’ Madeline thought. ’But am I allowed to have that feeling?’

As Madeline was enjoying her kiss with Zane, little did she know everything had been live-streamed by the staff to their investor, making the said investor seethe in jealousy.

After they were done with their ’lovers’ picture, Madeline was given a chance for a solo picture in the Gate of Heaven.

She decided not to wear the sarong. She was wearing her pink summer dress and a summer hat.

She did a simple standing-up pose. But as she was ready for the shoot, a gust blew her hat away, freeing her beautiful blonde hair, which was caressed by the wind, and so did her summer dress.

Snap!

The Director and the Photographer saw the picture that Madeline just took, and they both clicked their tongues in awe.

She was absolutely ethereal, like a flower blooming on top of a mountain. Her doe eyes symbolize innocence, but her heart-shaped lips symbolize seduction. She was the perfect mix of a lady who could make every man fall into a frenzy.

Yet everyone hated her because of her personality.

The Photographer and Director decided to keep this picture as promotional event material because she looked gorgeous and it would invite people to stream the reality show.

The sun had already set the moment they wrapped up their date in Lempuyang Temple. They had dinner and went to see the Kecak Fire Dance as a replacement for their honeymoon bungalow.

Zane had a sour face the entire trip, knowing he couldn’t spend the night with Madeline, which was his only motivation to continue with the competition.
