Chapter 1204

Chapter 1204 Clearing The Air Arielle’s reaction was entirely not what he had expected.

He thought she would be outraged and anxious. In fact, she might even grab Gracie and demand to know what happened. Much to his surprise, she barely said a word before closing the door.

What’s going on? Can it be that this is a misunderstanding on my part? Maybe Arielle was never interested in me?

“No! That’s just not possible!”

Jason ruled the idea out.

If she doesn’t have feelings for me, why did she accept the female lead’s role after I started to ignore her? As the CEO of Sann Group, there’s no need for her to work as an actress. The work here is a lot tougher and pays miserably compares to what she makes. As a result, she must be doing this because of me! Also, she must be pretending not to care due to the embarrassment she feels over what happened. That has to be the reason why she’s behaving this way.

When Gracie saw his volatile expression, she couldn’t resist asking, “Jason, what’s wrong? What is it that’s impossible?”

“Nothing!” Jason changed the topic with an indifferent expression. “Where are the makeup artists? Why are they late?”

“They should be arriving any moment now.”

Just as she spoke, the doorbell rang. It was the makeup artists from the film crew.

Since the promotional shoot for the movie was shot individually, there was no need for Arielle and Jason to cross paths.

Once the shooting was over. Jason couldn’t help but run toward where Arielle was and stood in front of her car.

Given that her car had just started to move, the driver had to jam the brakes at the very last minute.

Caught by surprise, Arielle slammed her head into the back of the driver’s seat due to the inertia.

“Ouch!” she gasped in pain before noticing that Sasha, who was driving, was shaken just as badly.

Sasha turned around and explained apologetically, “Ms. Moore, I’m sorry, but someone ran in front of the car all of a sudden. Therefore, I was forced to slam on the brakes.”

If she hadn’t reacted in time, she would have run over the person who blocked their way.

Knitting her brows, Arielle looked ahead and saw Jason coming over to knock on her window.

So, it’s Jason.

With a sullen expression, Arielle wound down the window and asked coldly, “What do you want?”

Jason’s eyes met Arielle’s icy gaze the moment he looked up.

Compared to their last meeting, Arielle seemed even more hostile to him. In fact, she was emanating an inexplicably domineering aura that sent a chill down his spine.

Nevertheless, Jason quickly regained his composure, for he was in no mood to continue playing games with her.

Since both of them had feelings for each other, he figured it was time to clear the air.

Holding that thought, Jason clarified at once, “What happened with the cherries was a misunderstanding.”

“What kind of misunderstanding?” Arielle’s eyes flashed with annoyance, as she had no idea what he was up to.

Jason cleared his throat and added, “I didn’t ask my manager to send the cherries back. She had misunderstood my instructions. Instead, I told her to get you a gift in return.”

Arielle nodded. “I understand. There’s no need to get me anything in return. Considering that we’re colleagues, sending you some fruits is no big deal.”

“Colleagues?” Jason was stunned. Gritting his teeth, he snapped, “Arielle, you can drop the act. Why would colleagues give each other such expensive imported fruits? Just tell me the truth!”

Arielle was totally confused. “What truth?”

Just when Jason was about to make his intentions clear, Sam walked over and remarked with a smile, “Ms. Moore, thank you for the cherries. They were very sweet, and everyone loved them.”
