Playing Hard To Get
Just as expected, no one can resist my charm. Previously, I visited Jadeborough University just to get
Arielle to act as the female lead. However, she rejected me many times back then. Now that I’ve
stopped trying to persuade her, she ended up being desperate for the role. Isn’t she just playing hard to
get? Hmph!
If it was anyone else, he would have reacted to them as objects of scorn.
But since it was Arielle, he saw what happened as part of the romantic games they were playing
between them.
As a result, he decided to forgive her.
Before filming started, everyone was required to check into the hotel and prepare for the movie’s
promotional photoshoot.
Cognizant that Vinson was unlikely to return within two days, Arielle too checked in the hotel
accordingly.
She was someone who would give her best once she set her mind on something. Therefore, she knew
how important it was to build a good working relationship with the film crew.
Holding that thought, she gave Sasha, who had tagged along with her, some instructions. “Since
cherries are in season now, buy a couple of boxes and give one out to every single room.”
“Right away,” Sasha acknowledged before buying a whole bunch of cherries and distributing them to
the entire film crew in the hotel.
Very quickly, a box of cherries arrived at Jason’s room.
Knock! Knock!
Sasha knocked on his door, which was opened by Gracie.
After receiving a big box of cherries, Gracie ran into the suite in delight and called Jason out, “Jason,
look, cherries! They’re your favorite!”
Raising his brows, Jason responded with an indifferent expression, as if this was a normal occurrence.
Pursing his lip, he retorted, “What do you mean my favorite? When someone gave me cherries the last
time, weren’t you the one who finished everything? When the person who sent it saw the empty box,
they assumed I loved it, hence the unfounded rumor.”
Given that the latest trending topic on Jason was the fact that he loved cherries, many fans who
greeted him at the airport would come bearing them as gifts.
Scratching her head awkwardly, Gracie walked up to Jason with the box of cherries in her hand. She
asked, “Since you’re not eating, can I have it all?”
“Go ahead.” Jerry waved his hand and casually asked, “Who sent them? The producer?”
“No, it’s Ms. Moore.”
“What?” Widening his eyes in shock, Jason sprang up from the couch and ordered, “Put those cherries
down at once!”
Taken aback, Gracie asked, “Wh-What’s wrong?”
Jason took a deep breath before he finally suppressed the smile that was cracking on his face.
“Nothing… ahem!” He cleared his throat and added, “Send the cherries back to Arielle.”
Given how she had played hard to get with me for so long, it’s time I give her the cold shoulder so that
she doesn’t think that she has me eating out of her hands.
Gracie felt reluctant to do so. “Send them back? Wouldn’t it be rude?”
“Just do it!” Jason barked with a grim expression. “If you don’t send them back, I’ll send you back to the
company instead.”
Having heard Jason’s threats, Gracie had no choice but to take the cherries back out.
Just when she was about to reach the door, Jason cried out, “Wait!”
“Is there anything else?”
Lifting his brow, Jason answered, “Remember, don’t give a reason when you return the cherries. Just
say that I don’t want them. Whatever she says in response, relate it to me verbatim.”
Gracie was confused by what Jason’s intention was. Nevertheless, since he had always been of two
minds, she didn’t care to enquire any further. With that, she left the suite with the cherries in her hands.
