Chapter 1203

Cold Shoulder

Meanwhile, Arielle was waiting for the makeup artist. The moment she heard the doorbell, she rushed
to the door assuming it was either the makeup artist or Sasha.

However, the moment she opened it, she was greeted by an unfamiliar face.

Backing off subconsciously, she asked, “Who are you?”

After being astounded by Arielle’s beauty, Gracie couldn’t resist but say, “I have heard so much about
how beautiful you are on the internet. My, my… I find that you’re even more beautiful in person than in
your photos!”

Following up on her compliment, Gracie quickly introduced herself upon seeing Arielle’s wary
expression, “I’m Jason’s manager.”

It was only after Arielle realized who Gracie was that she noticed the box of cherries in her hands.

Trailing Arielle’s gaze toward the cherries, Gracie scratched her head awkwardly. “I’m sorry, Ms. Moore.
Jason asked me to return these to you.”

“Is there anything wrong with them?”

The moment Arielle asked the question, she realized it was a redundant one, for the cherries were
individually packed in an exquisite manner. There was no way they would be returned on the account
of their quality.

Thus, she was the only reason.



Before Gracie could reply, Arielle took the cherries back and remarked with a smile, “All right then.
Thanks for taking the trouble to return them.”

“Sure, sure.” Just when Gracie wanted to explain on Jason’s behalf, Arielle had closed the door in her
face.

To Arielle, Jason was just a colleague of hers. Hence, she would just accept that he had declined her
gift. There was no reason for her to try too hard to please him.

Since Jason doesn’t even like the things I give him, he probably resents me now. As long as he doesn’t
get in my way, I guess I’ll just stay away from him other than during filming.



Given that she had signed a contract for two months, Sam would prioritize filming her parts. Therefore,
all she needed to do was endure working with Jason for that particular duration.

Luckily, most of the scenes were shot with green screens and the plot involved many other characters.
Hence, she rarely had to film alone with Jason due to the lack of romantic scenes.

In short, two months would fly by in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Arielle unwrapped the cherries and washed some for herself. She would then read her
script while feeding on them, putting the matter with Jason at the back of her mind.

As for Gracie, she was stunned at how quickly Arielle shut the door on her.

Usually, other actresses would try and find out as much information as they could about Jason from
her. Thus, Arielle’s reaction was the opposite of what she expected.



Nonetheless, after giving the matter more thought, Gracie felt that Jason wasn’t worthy enough for
someone like Arielle to ingratiate herself to.

After all, Arielle was the boss of Sann Group and a graduate of Maxwell University.

Regardless of how one looked at it, Jason couldn’t outshine her in any way.

With that, Gracie scratched her head before leaving empty-handed.

Back in his room, Jason was waiting anxiously for Gracie’s return.

When she finally got back, Jason asked her at once, “What did she say?”

Stunned, Gracie replied, “Ms. Moore didn’t say anything.”

Jason’s expression turned grim.

“How can she not say a word after I returned her cherries? Tell me word for word what her response
was.

Oblivious to what Jason was up to, Gracie related the exchange exactly as it unfolded.

“Ms. Moore asked me whether there was something wrong with the cherries. Before I could reply, she
thanked me for the trouble and closed the door in my face.”

Jason fell into deep thought upon hearing those words.
