Chapter 5: In an Office Building

“So how did it go down there? Did they agree to marry each other?” The worried executive asked his director over the phone.

“Oh yes they did. And it was one hell of a wedding.” The young producer said over the phone.

“How so.”

The young producer paused for a moment, then after taking a deep breath, began. “They know each other.”

“What?” the Exec said slowly.

“Craig and Sandra grew up together until her father moved the family to South Korea for the past 15 some years. They both filled out the same application and the experts put them together. It is a total work of fate if you ask me.”

The exec rubbed his chin thinking about the implications of this revelation. “Ok. How are they together? Are they cute?”

“Oh very much so. They are adorable and he is one hell of a hunk. You’ve seen the pictures, he’s a monster with those chiseled features of a greek god and a body to match. She’s gorgeous, built like a brick shit house. At the wedding, they couldn’t take their hands off each other and if the rumors are true, she wasn’t wearing any panties for most of the day. Though we have no solid information about it.”

“Ok this is good. Hang on a second.” The exec put the call on hold and called for his secretary. She ran in with notepad in hand. “Janey, call legal to have them look for rules about collusion or what happens if the couple knows each other. Also, I want a full background check of these two. Who they are, who their parents are, where they live everything. There is more here I’m sure of it and I want the rest of the story about these two.”

Janey left, he picked up his phone again. “Thank you for the report. Keep with them, since they were childhood friends, this could turn out to be the most exciting couple we have ever done.”

“Ok, will do.”

They hung up the phone and went back to work. The exec turned to the board of couples that the experts put together. There was a personality sheet next to each couple and for Craig and Sandy they had a sheet of possible conflict points. She worldly from a military family, he hardworking with possible neglectful father. They could be explosive and deep down he hoped that this couple would give a good show for the series.
