Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 185

Jason Morton came in at the same time.

He was probably here to look for Celine. Therefore, when he saw Nell sitting alone in the dressing room, he was caught off guard.

He was aware of Nell’s part in the show, but he never expected to meet her here.

The makeup artist did not know of Nell’s previous relationship with Jason, but she knew that Young Master Morton was Celine’s fiance. It had been quite some time since filming began, but it was the first time he paid this film set a visit.

She smiled at him and asked, “Are you here for Celine, Young Master Morton? She’ll most likely be here soon. Why don’t you wait here for a while?”

Jason wanted to decline, but when he saw Nell, he agreed to it.

The makeup artist told her assistant to get a cup of water for Jason. The assistant eyed him secretly and realized he looked more handsome in person than in photos.

With such good looks, he would surely be popular if he became an actor!

Unfortunately, he was not interested in becoming one. After all, he came from a refined family, excelled academically, and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Why should a wealthy man like him suffer in show business?

The women thought the same thing and envied Celine Jennings’ good fortune. She managed to find a handsome, rich, and good man for herself.

Jason was completely unaware of their thoughts. Ever since he came in, he fixed his gaze on Nell, who was having her makeup done by the artist.

He was caught in a flurry of emotions.

Back then, when they were together, he also harbored the idea of getting Nell into showbiz.

However, he only asked her once. When she rejected his idea, he never brought it up again.

Now, she entered this circle proactively.

Did she not once say that she found showbiz to be a pain?

She even said that she did not like the spotlight and preferred to work behind the scenes.

When he reminisced about the past, he let out a quiet sigh of relief.

It was also a good idea for her to work behind the scenes. At least, she would not have stolen the limelight from Celine.

He was aware of how capable she was and knew her beauty hidden behind her ordinary front. If she wanted to, she would definitely be more successful than Celine.

His past self refused to see that happen.

Today, when he saw her again, that sort of feeling no longer existed.

The dressing room was quiet and the ambiance was dull.

After some time, Jason could not stop himself from calling, “Nelly, long time no see. How have you been?”

The makeup artist raised her eyebrows curiously.

Apparently, these two knew each other!

Then, she recalled Nell and Celine’s relationship and it dawned on her.

No wonder, they were relatives. He was her younger sister’s boyfriend, so it was natural that Nell knew him.

It was all because of the lack of interaction between Nell and Celine on set. They were biological sisters, yet they acted like strangers towards each other. As a result, the people around them often forgot about their actual relationship.

Nell closed her eyes to let the makeup artist line her eyes. She ignored him.

Jason felt somewhat embarrassed.

Apart from embarrassment, he also felt a sense of displeasure.

The docile, subservient woman he knew was no longer around.

In her place were coldness, indifference and rejection.

Particularly, the fleeting expression of annoyance displayed by her earlier was like a sharp needle that pricked his heart.

Jason was about to say something else when Celine came in.

Nell took a sip of the watermelon juice and replied slowly, “No matter what others say, it’s true that they have a good relationship now. It’s good enough for Celine.”

Nancy was taken aback.

She looked at Nell nervously and asked with care, “Aren’t… Aren’t you uncomfortable?”

“Huh?”

Nell lifted her head and noticed the awkwardness in Nancy’s gaze. She then reacted and laughed. “Why think about such things? I’m no longer interested in him.”

Nancy heaved a sigh of relief.

“Well, you have your husband, who’s the best man in the world. Men like Jason Morton are nothing compared to your husband and aren’t worthy of you.”

Nell could not stop herself from chuckling, but when Nancy mentioned Gideon, she remembered that she had been busy filming for the past two days and had not given her husband a call.

Before the film’s production, Gideon would call her almost every night and they would talk for hours.

Two days ago, she stayed up late to film some scenes and did not answer his call. Later, it was already the wee hours of the morning. Gideon probably did not want to disrupt her sleep, so he said a few words hurriedly and hung up.

Until today, he did not phone her.

Nell told herself that if filming wrapped early tonight, she had to give him a call.

As she contemplated, gasps and exclamations could be heard in the dressing room.

“Wow! It’s so pretty!”

“You’re so fortunate, Celine!”

“A huge diamond ring like that must be expensive! My god, my heart!”

She turned around and saw Celine standing at the entrance to the dressing room. The latter held a large bouquet of roses while Jason knelt on one knee in front of her with a diamond ring in his hand. He was sliding the ring onto Celine’s finger.
