Honey, He Asked Me to be His Substitute Chapter 1
After being forced to participate in a live reality show, the host demanded that I choose between Joshua Sassoon, my financial backer, and Zachary Leonard, the special guest and a renowned actor.
The winner would get to share an intimate moment with me.
The loser would face the punishment of getting drenched with water.
Joshua narrowed his eyes, signaling for me to pick him.
Yet, in the first round of the game, he had unhesitatingly chosen his beloved Verna Rhys over me.
I was left soaked and awkward while Verna gently leaned into his arms, coquettishly seeking his comfort.
Under the camera, she pretended to graciously hold my hand. "Lillian, I'm sorry that you got wet."
But in my ear, she whispered triumphantly, "Poor you. A stand-in is just a stand-in, something that is not presentable."
My hair hung wet and limp around my face, and I clenched my fists.
Joshua chuckled lightly, pushing his tongue against his cheek in annoyance. "What's with that expression? Verna's not like you. She's more venerable than you. It's just a bit of water.
"You wouldn't get sick even when you were standing in the rain before. Why? Are you so fragile now?"
Well, Joshua, now it was my turn.
Over a hundred thousand viewers were watching the livestream.
The atmosphere on set grew tense.
Under the scrutinizing gaze of the audience, I walked towards Joshua.
I saw the corners of his lips curl up slightly.
Meanwhile, Zachary Leonard, tall and well-defined, with cool and composed features, stood calmly. He had a red mole under the corner of his eye, which made him even sexier.
The live chat exploded with comments!
[Oh my gosh, Lillian, open your eyes and see how amazing our Zachary is!]
[Pick Zachary! We can't bear to see him get drenched!]
[Is there even a comparison? Joshua can't compete with Zachary!]
[Go, Zachary, win her over!]
I stopped in front of Joshua.
He pushed his tongue against his cheek again, his expression one of confident anticipation, throwing a challenging glance at Zachary.
The camera zoomed in for a close-up.
Even the fans couldn't take it anymore.
[What the hell! What's that look from Joshua?]
[I can't stand it. I need a break. Someone gets rid of Joshua!]
I smiled slightly and, just as I was about to turn towards Zachary, Joshua was stunned.
He reached out to grab me but only managed to catch the hem of my dress.
"Lillian!"
He called my name in disbelief.
I glanced at him coldly and continued walking towards Zachary.
Joshua gritted his teeth, his voice shaking with anger. "You wouldn't dare!"
Oh, but I would.
Without hesitation, I chose Zachary. "I'd like to share an intimate moment with Mr. Leonard, please."
The set became silent, and for three seconds, I could hear Zachary's breath.
His deep eyes were unreadable, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "It would be my pleasure."
Joshua's face turned ashen.
Because it was live, Joshua had no choice but to accept his punishment.
The balloon above him burst, drenching him completely
He glared at me and Zachary, his eyes burning holes into my back.
But I had no time to pay him any mind.
The show was bold, and the task card drawn was a 30-second kiss.
