Chapter 894

Sam had booked a private room, but he had to pass through Arielle’s table to get to it.

Jason managed to spot Arielle, who was barbequing right away.

One would be easily captivated by her sweet smile and outstanding demeanor.

Jason let out a chuckle upon spotting her.

Hah, she had rejected me so many times. Yet, she still asked around for my schedule and came all the way here just so she could pretend to bump into me by chance. I knew that she was playing hard-to-

get.

At the same time, Gracie, who was standing behind Jason, spotted Arielle as well.

Excited, the woman patted Jason’s shoulder and said, “Hey, it’s Arielle!”

Jason merely nodded his head calmly. “Yes, I’m not blind.”

Gracie had gotten used to Jason’s sarcastic manner and nudged him. “Don’t you have your sights set on asking her to become the female lead for ‘Monsters in Jadeborough’? This is a good chance to pitch your idea. I heard that Mr. Sleight still hasn’t found an actress suited for the role from the audition today. You might as well take the chance to ask her right now.”

“That won’t be necessary. She will accept the role,”

Jason said adamantly.

Her hard-to-get game will come to an end.

An epiphany hit Jason right then.

The more initiative I take, the more Arielle will pretend to ignore me. However, if I ignore her, she will understand that her little trick isn’t working. She will then start to show interest in me and even approach me then.

Jason even thought that Arielle showing up at the BBQ restaurant was a validation of his assumption.

Hence, he decided to change his tactic and not approach her first.

He deliberately took off his sunglasses and walked right past Arielle.

Gracie was stumped by his actions. Isn’t he the one who’s ogling at Arielle’s photos and videos every day?

However, owing to the large number of crew members present, the manager bit his tongue.

At the common area, Arielle was so focused on enjoying her barbecue that she did not notice the people passing by at all.

In fact, it was Trisha who noticed that Jason had passed by. Her eyes widened at the sight of him. She lowered her voice and asked Arielle, “Hey, isn’t that Jason Sleight?”

“Jason Sleight?” Arielle spaced out for a moment and only registered his name after a moment.

She furrowed her brows and said, “You’d better hurry up and finish your food then. Let’s get out of here as soon as possible.”

Arielle did not wish to bump right into the weirdo.

Trisha was befuddled by Arielle’s reaction.

Only Arielle would try to get away from Jason Sleight.

Soon, night fell.

When Arielle and Trisha headed out of the barbecue restaurant, an MPV stopped right at the restaurant’s entrance.

The next moment, a tall and handsome man got off the car.

It was Vinson.

Trisha avoided the man like she had seen a ghost. She hurriedly halted a taxi and jumped right into the first taxi that stopped after bidding goodbye to Arielle.

Arielle sent her off helplessly before she approached Vinson.

“Are you done with work?” she asked. However, Vinson merely nodded and said nothing else before getting into the backseat.

Stumped, Arielle followed right behind him and into the car.

Rayson sensed that something was not quite right and raised the partition of the car right away to give Vinson and Arielle some privacy.

“What’s the matter with you?” Arielle asked Vinson right away after getting into the car. “Are you in a bad mood? Did something happen to the company?”

Still, Vinson kept quiet. He looked out the window blankly and said nothing.

Arielle was at a loss. She breathed in deeply and gave Vinson a kiss.

Vinson’s impassive face finally eased a little.

He realized that he was powerless against Arielle.

Arielle did not have any skills to show for and merely pecked on Vinson’s lips.

His veins popped slightly at her amateur kiss, and he turned around to press her down on the backseat.
