Back then, the production crew decided that Madeline was a good fit, so they invited her to become the first guest of the show. It was unknown whether Madeline had her own worries regarding the show or simply felt that she was too good for the show, for she rejected the invitation immediately.
Why would she choose to become the replacement guest in the second episode? This was mostly thanks to the first episode's tremendous popularity.
The production crew had sent a few old candidates the invitations again, thinking that it wouldn't hurt them to give it a try. This time, Madeline chose to accept the invitation.
There were conditions that came with her acceptance as the replacement guest. She didn't want the production crew to make any plot arrangements that could put her reputation as the lucky charm at risk. In fact, they were to help solidify her lucky persona before the cameras during critical junctures.
No matter how popular Madeline's persona was on the Internet, everyone in the entertainment industry knew very well that it was most definitely a sham.
When Madeline named this condition, the production crew knew right away that she wouldn't be able to maintain her lucky charm persona for long in the show.
But as the director, Carlos couldn't turn Madeline down at all. Her lucky charm persona fit the show's theme in every way. If the production crew could play their cards right, they'd be able to collaborate with Madeline properly, which would result in both her and the show's popularity skyrocketing even more.
After a quick meeting, Fred and Carlos decided to make Madeline the replacement guest.
While the guests chatted with Percy, Madeline finally arrived at the filming location.
Madeline's appearance was different from Olivia's. Olivia was cute and petite, whereas Madeline had the potential to be both cute and cool. Her height almost hit five feet and seven inches, making her a literal model.
The moment she got out of the car, she attracted everyone's attention instantly. The cameras happened to perfectly capture her flawless smile.
The livestream room instantly erupted, just like how the fans had reacted when Vincent made his appearance in the first episode. Everyone's fans began spamming the comment section giddily.
Madeline knew that she'd be in front of the cameras right after getting out of the car, so she was quick to wave at the cameras. Then, she jogged all the way to the guests.
She maintained a humble attitude. The first thing she did was apologize for being late.
"I'm so, so sorry for being late. Something came up when I was on the way here."
She explained, "While making my way here, I was resting at a pit stop when I found this lucky satchel. It even contains a gold bracelet. I wanted to wait around the area to see if the owner would look for it, but I was also worried that the production crew might be waiting for me, so I could only bring it over."
Everyone turned to look at the red lucky satchel. It was the typical satchel that the elderly people used to contain gold accessories. The satchel itself was woven from silk. There was a beautiful pattern embroidered on the surface. It was also pretty thick.
The moment Madeline showed the gold bracelet, the viewers were astonished, to say the least.
"As expected of the lucky charm! To think that she'd be able to stumble across gold when she's traveling! She really is the luckiest person ever!"
"That's an actual gold bracelet! Oh my god! I'm super jealous right now!"
"You can always have faith in Madeline's luck."
"I've never stumbled across gold bracelets whenever I go out. I guess I'm just not lucky enough."
