A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 812
“Of course, I‘m not!” blurted Arielle. “I‘ve never idolized anyone.”
“Then why does he insist that you are?”
“Beats me,” she replied, looking quite perplexed. “I don‘t even know him.”
Sasha hooked her arm around Blake‘s. “All right. Crisis averted. Time for us to disappear.”
“Yeah, okay,” said Blake as
he waved toward Arielle. “Boss said that we are to stay close for your protection, but also to stay out of sight. So, on that note, we shall make ourselves scarce.”
With that, he and Sasha bolted off.
Arielle was rendered speechless while she watched the duo disappear from view. She did not even have time to say anything else.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThose two had a lot in common with the strange man who preceded them—
popping out of nowhere before vanishing. She had been quite baffled by the entire encounter, to say the least.
Arielle shook her head and paid no more heed to them.
She casually tossed the name card that Jason gave her into the bin before striding toward the library ahead where the archive was.
On the other side, Jason made a mad dash and dove
inside the MPV parked in front of the gates to Jadeborough University.
The removal of his mask caused Gracie to exclaim aloud, “Your face!”
“Don‘t worry about it. It‘s just a scratch.” Jason waved her off nonchalantly.
Seeing Arielle in broad daylight that day left him even more astonished than he was previously as she possessed a bare face that was unparalleled across the entire
entertainment industry.
Even though Jason did not mind the ding to his appearance, Gracie next to him was practically going bonkers.
“Who‘s the one who did this to you? You’ve still got another interview to do tomorrow! This won’t do. I‘m going to have to get the police right away!”
“No. Don‘t!” said Jason as he snatched the phone from his manager‘s hand. “No one hit me. I fell, that‘s all.”
“Is that right?” Gracie‘s eyes narrowed in skepticism as the wound did not look self–inflicted to her, and definitely not from a fall.
“Well, yeah! I did it to myself. Why would I want to lie about something like that?”
There was no way he would confess to getting trounced by two lasses and a kid.
Gracie was only half-convinced, but the Jason she knew was not the sort to suffer humiliation quietly. If Jason really got beaten up, she
was sure that he would have gone to the police himself way before she did.
That seemed to have settled things for her. “Didn‘t you say that you‘ve gone to look for the female lead? Have you found her?”
“I did.”
The manager‘s eyes lit up. “So, what did Ms. Moore
say?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJason leaned back into the seat. “She said that she’ll get back to me in three days. But knowing that she‘s a fan of mine coupled with the fact that I’ll be starring in this
film, I’m sure she’ll be totally up for it.”
That made Gracie raise an eyebrow. “If that‘s the case, why didn‘t she just agree to it there and then?”
“That‘s because…” Jason leaned forward with a lifted chin. “She‘s playing hard to get.”
He would never believe that a girl of Arielle‘s age did not know of a popular idol like him.
He reckoned that feigning ignorance and getting violent must be all part of a stunt to leave a lasting impression on him.
Beside him, Gracie regarded Jason quizzically. She had a gut feeling that the truth may be further from what
Jason described.
“If that‘s really the case…” Gracie went on to remind him grimly, “Being just an idol and not yet a recognized thespian right now, you‘re still very much dependent on your fan b
“Got it.” Jason waved her off. “Let‘s get a move on. I‘ve got to ice my face and then study the script.”
Seeing how diligent Jason was, which a rare sight in itself, Gracie probed no further and instructed the chauffeur to drive.
As this was happening, Wendy and Aaron‘s tour had brought them to the school‘s library.
