Loving A STRANGER Chapter 170
Advertisement
Before Kylie's group reached the edge of the property that surrounded the tower, Khloe rushed over to Kylie and snatched the clue from her hand and turned to read the answer to the clue. Kylie tried to snatch it back, but Khloe took a step back and shoved it under her shirt and up into her brassiere. She knew that her step-sister would do this kind of dirty trick; in fact, it was not new to her. Khloe does several cunning acts just to get what she wants.
Pissed off, Kylie yelled, "Give us that back," her voice was full of anger. "You are not playing fair. What will the audience think about you when they see this? What do you think the director will do when he finds out? Are you sure that you want to do this? Don't you care about your reputation and career?" She mocked her.
"I am sure," Khloe said, "but I am also curious about how you got here so fast… It is so strange that you act so fast," She looked at Kylie in disdain.
"We rented a three-person bicycle," Kylie replied calmly.
Khloe shook her head and walked back in the direction of her group.
Scowling, Cindy demanded to know why Kylie had allowed Khloe to steal their clue.
"What choice did I have," Kylie explained. "Should I have physically assaulted her? I would be curious to know what you would do in my place, not that it even matters. This clue proved false, so we didn't need it anyway, so let's just keep going. We were able to get ahead of Khloe and her team right from the start. If we are quick about it, there is no reason that we can't get ahead again. Did you understand what I mean?"

She patted Cindy's shoulder and walked away. She doesn't want to waste time arguing over a nonsense matter. It is not her attitude too. She always makes sure to play fair and wise.

When Khloe's team arrived at their next destination, Khloe happened to catch her reflection in a window, and she was appalled. As her make-up melted, her face looked less and less like her own and more and more like something out of a horror movie. She wanted to blame someone, but she knew that it was nobody's fault but her own. She should have listened to her make-up artist. She felt annoyed with the situation.
Khloe turned to the cameraman and said, "Cut me out of these scenes where my make-up is a mess. I don't want people who will watch this reality show could see my face wearing a faded make-up,"
"I don't think that I can do it," the cameraman replied. "There would be too big of a gap in the film. Since your team is working closely with you, I would have to cut them out as well. Half our footage would be in the garbage. Then, when you suddenly appeared in the next scene, the audience wouldn't know what was going on, and our ratings would go down. I trust that you can understand what I am saying is I've explained things to you…" He said out of respect but silently felt annoyed how Khloe demanded him.
"There is a washroom over there," the cameraman's assistant said as he pointed to a nearby public building. "Why don't you go wash your face? We still have enough time to wait for you here."
"Fine," Khloe replied, "I'll go clean up while you run to the mall to purchase some make-up. I need new make-up. I can't face the camera again without having it,"

"Your idea is impossible," the assistant replied. "For one thing, I have no idea what kind of make-up I am going to pick up for you. Second of all, executing your idea would take too much time. Just standing here, you are wasting time that could be better used by looking for the next clue!"
"The clues are important," Khloe replied, "but it is imperative that I look good while we search for them. If you don't know how to shop for make-up, then we will go together. Regardless of what anyone says, I will not continue with the show until I look good again."
Khloe turned to her teammates and said, "Carry on without me. Keep your phones on. When I return, I will call you and see where you're at so that I can meet up with you guys."
Kem Smith nodded that he understood, and he led their teammate away. As they walked away, Khloe could hear Kem muttering under her breath: "That fucking cunt… She is so vain… and she thinks the world revolves around her, to the extent that she would jeopardize our chance of winning to appease her god damned vanity…Khloe had heard worse, and she let his words go in one ear, and she passed them straight out the other.. Once her team was out of sight, she turned to the cameraman's assistant and said, "Let's go. Time and tide wait for no man."
***
The first thing Khloe did when they got to the mall was washing her face in a washroom sink. She had originally intended to buy a whole new set of make-up. On the way through, she realized that that was a dumb idea. She already had all the make-up she needed at home, and there was no need to purchase duplicates of everything she already had. Instead, she decided to go to the Mac store and have them do her make-up for her, for free.
As she sat in the chair, she said to the cameraman's assistant, "Watch what she does. Someday, I might call upon you to do my make-up." The assistant nodded as he looked towards the camera crew that had followed them. "Khloe," he wondered, "Aren't you the tad bit worried about what the television audience will think of you when they see you abandoning your team to feed your vanity?"
Kylie laughed and said, "Don't worry about it. I am above reprisal."
