Chapter 1212 I Am Married
He had planned to use the group dinner to confess his feelings to Arielle. Unfortunately, she had outright declined to join them.
Who does she think she is?
Just when Arielle bid everyone goodbye, Jason stepped forward to confront her and demanded, “Arielle, what’s the meaning of this?”
Bewildered, she asked, “What are you talking about?”
Arielle’s innocent expression caused Jason’s temper to flare up.
Having suffered the humiliation earlier and the misunderstanding from the day before, Jason’s emotions took over his head. He scoffed, “Why are you the only one who can’t join us for dinner? Even the most famous stars would show Mr. Sleight some respect. As a newcomer, why don’t you show everyone some courtesy by joining us?”
“I just—”
“I know,” Jason interrupted her. “You feel superior just because you’re the boss of Sann Group. Therefore, you’re not bothered to dine with people like us. Isn’t that the case?”
Arielle gaze darkened at once.
“I’ve never looked down upon anyone before,” she countered in an icy tone.
Even though Jason felt an inexplicable chill down his spine, he wasn’t going to show any fear in a stare-down with a woman.
Gritting his teeth, he maintained a strong front and asked, “In that case, why can’t you join us for dinner?”
“Because there’s something I need to attend to.”
Meanwhile, Sam quickly came forward to defuse the situation.
“That’s enough, Jason. Arielle has a very busy schedule. In fact, she has done me a huge favor just by accepting the role. Anyway, we shouldn’t impose on her personal time.”
“That’s right,” Jason sneered. “It’s a waste of time for a big shot like you to join us for a meal. Go ahead with whatever you’re busy with.”
