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, Oracle, 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'sphotos 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?”
