Unexpected Turn Of Events
Jason’s tone started out fine but subconsciously developed a hint of arrogance toward the end. He made
it sound as though he was doing her a favor.
“I don’t need it.” Arielle rejected him without a second thought. “I’m happy with the customer traffic I have
now and don’t need you to promote it for me. Nonetheless, I appreciate the offer. Bye!”
Before Jason could reply, she ended the call at once.
“Let me do it.” Upon returning to her station, she scooped out the cooked ravioli.
Once the last bowls were served, she went into the restaurant to help the wait staff, not bothering to take
a break.
In the alley, Jason scowled as he watched Arielle return to the restaurant after ending their call.
“Da*n!”
Just as he cursed, the cameraman ran toward him excitedly while waving the empty bowl in his hand.
“Mr. Sleight, the ravioli was truly amazing. In fact, I felt like tearing up after eating them!”
Jason raised his brows. “Can you stop rubbing it in?”
Considering how long the line was and what the female fan said earlier, he obviously knew that the food
was good.
Having been snarled at for no reason, the cameraman asked curiously, “Mr. Sleight, what happened?”
“Nothing! Let’s go!” After putting his mask back on, Jason stormed back to where they came from.
Puzzled, the cameraman inquired, “Don’t you want to film this restaurant anymore?”
Jason snapped, “No, I don’t!”
Tch! There’s no way I’m going to do it after how she treated me.
Soon, both of them returned to the crew.
The director immediately approached and asked, “How was it? Did you manage to find a suitable
restaurant for filming?”
“No!” Jason’s expression could not be more sullen.
Baffled, the director pulled the cameraman aside and asked, “What happened? Who got on Jason’s
nerves?”
The cameraman was young and did not know the relationship history between Jason and Arielle, so he
shook his head to express his ignorance. “I don’t know either… Everything started out fine, then he got
upset.”
Glancing at Jason, who had gone to rest in his MPV, the director felt even more curious.
“Give me the camera.”
The cameraman brought out the video camera from his bag and handed it over.
A few minutes later, Gracie brought them a message.
“Mr. Graham, Jason says that he’s not feeling well, so he’s not going to film the show today.”
The director, James Graham, widened in eyes in shock. “What? He’s not filming today? But this show will
be broadcasted every week. Furthermore, Jason needs to attend an award ceremony over the next few
days. If he doesn’t film it today, when will he have time to do it?”
Gracie suggested helplessly, “Perhaps, we can film it three days later and get the post-production team
to work overtime?”
James’ expression grew solemn. “Three days later? We need one day to film and another day to edit.
Even if the post-production team work round the clock, they still won’t make it in time.”
Gracie naturally knew that, but she was also aware of how stubborn Jason could be.
At that moment, James suddenly thought about the recording he had just watched.
His eyes lit up when an idea occurred to him.
“I understand.” Nodding at Gracie, he added, “In that case, we’ll skip filming for this week’s episode, as I
already have the content.”
Gracie asked inquisitively, “I thought we hadn’t filmed it yet? Where did you get the content?”
James did not intend to explain. Hence, he merely answered, “You’ll find out soon enough.”
Even though Gracie had her suspicions, she did not question him further because Jason was already
calling for her. Hence, she turned around and got on the MPV.
James’ face broke into a wide grin as he held the video camera.
Perhaps, this unexpected turn of events might boost our ratings even further.
