Most importantly, Jason was the young master of the Mortons and currently held the position of President.
The Mortons were not tycoons like the Leiths, but in Jincheng, at least, they were one of the major corporations here.
Undoubtedly, as the President, Jason Morton was an extremely busy man.
Yet, he was willing to take a break from his work to personally bring some soup for Celine. What kind of magical boyfriend was he?
The group of actors was touched by this sight and envied her.
Of course, Celine felt great about it. She held the vacuum flask in her hands and was beaming with joy.
She even shared some of her soup with a few actresses on set, which resulted in an uproar.
Nell observed this scene and twitched her lips.
Suddenly, she recalled what Jason said to her last night.
She wondered how Celine would react when she knew about that.
As she thought of this, a wicked idea formed in her mind and her lips curled into a mischievous smile.
“Nancy, Celine likes Jason very much. Assuming they broke up one day, would she immediately go mad?”
Nancy was stunned, then she pouted in disdain.
“One is sleazy while the other is slutty. That trash couple had better not break up, lest they mess up other people’s lives. It’s a good thing that they’re together.”
Nell nodded. “You’ve got a point.”
After a while, her eyes narrowed and she smiled.
“But sometimes, there needs to be a few stumbling blocks in the road of romance, don’t you think?”
Nancy hardly understood what she meant, but since Nell did not explain it further, she refused to ask.
Some time passed and the crowd began to break up. Celine hooked an arm around Jason’s and walked towards the dressing room.
Nell saw them and told Nancy, “It’s almost time. We’d better get ready too.”
Nancy nodded.
When they entered the dressing room, they heard Celine talking to Jason in a coquettish manner, “Brother Jay, your soup was really good. Won’t you bring some again for me tomorrow?”
Jason held her hand and caressed her head lovingly. “Sure.”
“Brother Jay, you treat me so well.”
“It’s because you’re worth treating well, Celine.”
The two women who had just approached the entrance overheard that remark and shuddered.
Eh…
Those were some cringy and fake-*ss words. Did Jason really say that to Celine, and not to the people around him to show off?
Nell took a deep breath, suppressed her triggered urge to barf and strode inside.
“Sis, you’re here too!”
Celine saw her and greeted her cheerily.
Nell did not regard her with a sour face. On the contrary, she nodded in return with a smile and said to the makeup artist, “Time for my makeup.”
She was close to the makeup artist. Earlier, the artist felt awkward after Celine and Jason kept showing off their love for each other. When Nell entered the room, the makeup artist felt relieved and said, “You’re finally here.”
Nell gave her a knowing grin and sat down on the chair.
At least, the sisters pretended to be cool with each other. Else, no one knew how they were supposed to interact with each other when they were in the same dressing room.
The people around them felt really awkward. All of a sudden, Nell asked, “Right, have you found your missing assistant?”
When she mentioned this, Celine was a bit annoyed.
However, she must not show her temper in front of Nell.
Thus, she gritted her teeth and forced out a chuckle, “Not yet! But I don’t think it’s a huge issue. I’ve sent someone to look for her, so don’t worry, Sis.”
Nell nodded. “Good. She’s your assistant after all and accompanies you all the time. It’s all fine if she’s ok, but if something happens to her, you’ll be responsible as well, won’t you?”
Celine tightened her fists in anger but did not say a word.
Oddly enough, ever since that night Kylie went missing, she had sent someone to look for her everywhere, including the hospital.
Still, Kylie was nowhere to be found, it was as if she had vanished without a trace.
Earlier, she assumed that Kylie had been caught red-handed and withheld by Nell when she ordered her to steal something.
However, when the news spread like wildfire on the internet, Nell remained silent. If she had indeed captured Kylie, she would have gotten the truth out of her and addressed the public to clear her own name.
On the contrary, she did not do so, which meant that Kylie was not with Nell.
This inference gave Celine some relief.
Then again, Kylie’s disappearance still troubled her.
Where the hell did that idiot go?! Once she had found her, she would have to punish her severely!
As she pondered this, a vicious gleam flashed across Celine’s eyes.
Jason sensed the tense vibe between the sisters, but he could not say anything.
