With some people leaving, Zenobia's entourage has shrunk by more than half in no time.
Zenobia was eyeing Jaime intently. Jaime was busy directing people to move supplies and find a spot to pitch tents.
He turned and saw Zenobia staring at him.
Jaime was taken aback. Then he suddenly clutched his chest in front of everyone and looked at Zenobia warily, "What are you looking at me like that for? I gotta tell you, I'm an old-school, moral kind of guy. I gotta stay pure for my future wife! Don't get any funny ideas!"
Zenobia was taken aback.
Jaime went on, "My parents always told me to stay loyal and faithful. You're already engaged, even if your guy isn't as handsome, rich or smart as me, you can't have any ideas on me!"
Zenobia was lost for words at Jaime's provocation. She looked around in panic, but everyone avoided her gaze, and some even tried to hold back their laughter.
"You're talking nonsense! My fiancé is the most handsome man in the world. You can't even hold a candle to him, not even his toe!!"
"Well, good!" Jaime was still clutching his chest, looking very alert.
At this point, a polite-looking girl in the crowd, seeing that they were about to pitch tents, kindly suggested, "If you're volunteers, the indigenous people on the island will provide you with accommodation for free. You don't need to camp outside."
On hearing this, Zenobia promptly stuck up her chin, indicating a refusal to welcome Jaime and his crew.
Even if there was enough accommodation, she was not willing to welcome these annoying people, and she was not as naive as these volunteers.
She didn't believe this man was really a volunteer here to protect the corals.
They were the henchmen of that CEO's wife!
