Only then did Jayson recall the events that had transpired.
His brows knitted in a frown as he turned to the staffer, his words snapping out, âWhat on earth is going on?â
The man shrunk his neck Like a quail, avoiding their gaze and remaining mute.
Never had he considered that this unassuming woman would recognize Jayson, who held a repertoire of significant awards in the movie industry.
Jayson, the programâs overseer and his boss, held far more importance than the company representative he had regarded with respect earlier.
At this moment, the staffer felt regretful, at a loss for words.
As he remained silent, Ariana continued, âAllow me to explain.
He contended that my invitation didnât come through in a respectable manner, despite my patient wait in line to submit the paperwork.
Not only that, he also attended to those who arrived after me.
Unfortunately, I cannot spare time to stand in line again today, given my rush.
â
Jayson harbored a deep-seated aversion to conceited individuals.
As expected, his temper flared, and he addressed the employee directly, âYou may proceed to collect your salary.
Your return is not necessary.
â
Following that, Jayson arranged for another person to take over his responsibilities and complete the registration for Ariana.
The staff memberâs heart sank as desperation to salvage his job mounted.
Jaysonâs resolute refusal Left him scurrying back to the supervisor he had been buttering up moments ago.
With a forced chuckle, he implored, âSir, I was just trying to expedite things for you.
Could you say a word in my favor?â
To his astonishment, the supervisor brushed off his entreaties entirely.
Having ascended the ranks from a small firm himself, the supervisor regarded the staff memberâs pitiable display with disdain.
Treating him as though he were repulsive, the supervisor delivered a lesson in utter disrespect.
Shamed and defeated, the staff member shot a venomous glare at Ariana before slinking away.
In his place, a new staff member arrived and adeptly tackled Arianaâs paperwork without any fuss.
Jayson then extended an invitation for them to catch up, prompting Ariana to message Sonia about picking up Melon later.
Soniaâs swift reply read, âSure thing.

The two then located a café to reminisce over cups of coffee.
Seated across from each other in the snug café, Jayson beamed warmly and remarked, âYou look nearly the same as you did five years ago.
Howâs life been treating you all this time?â
âNot too shabby,â Ariana reciprocated with a smile.
âEven though Iâve been residing in Melcorn, Iâve managed to stay in the Loop about developments back home.
Your films have achieved notable success in recent years â congratulations.
â
Jayson offered a modest laugh, shaking his head.
âJust a few minor victories.
Now youâre pulling my Leg.
â
âOn another note, I shouldâve expected youâd be here today,â Ariana mused.
âIt seems youâre always entangled with BRD.
