Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 262

”I’m sorry, where’s the restroom?”

Nell was astonished.

That voice sounded familiar.

She turned her head to look at that man, who lifted his head at the same time as well. Both of them froze.

“Jason?”

“Nelly?”

“Why are you here?”

“Why are you here?”

The same question popped out of their mouths simultaneously.

After that, they regarded each other sullenly.

Nell was frustrated.

Now she knew why there was a saying that enemies often crossed paths!

Since the day she drew a line with him on the island, she assumed that she would never see him again. Unfortunately, she did not expect that she would be unlucky enough to bump into him here. Moreover, his private room was just next to hers.

There was a slight shift in Jason’s expression, but he soon regained his composure.

He scanned Nell from head to toe.

No doubt, Nell was getting more and more beautiful each day.

The nude-color dress that she wore accentuated her curves and slender figure. She wore a pair of beige-color sandals as well. Her raven black hair hung loosely at the back of her head, giving her a fresh and exquisite look.

Back then, he knew that she was attractive, but she lacked the sense of femininity which he so adored, thus he was not really interested in her at that time.

Now, however, she could be as charming as Celine if she was willing to doll herself up.

In fact, she would surpass Celine in terms of beauty.

Jason’s gaze darkened. He suppressed his drunkenness, straightened his back and smiled. “I’m here to meet some friends. It’s a coincidence to bump into you here.”

Nell did not return a smile.

“I’m not interested in what you are doing here. If there’s nothing else, please move aside. I want to go back to my room.”

Jason raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the private room next door.

“Are you beside us?”

Nell rolled her eyes.

She thought, ‘I must have seven years of bad luck to have you as my next-door neighbor.’

“Looks like they are all showbiz folks. Just now, I saw a few famous directors… Oh, I forgot, you’re now considered a famous actress too.”

These two days, ‘Cannon Fodder Guide' had been streaming on the internet. Although it was a low-budget web-series, it was very well-received when it first aired online and it got a high number of views.

He continued smiling, although there was a certain melancholy hidden behind his smile. “Nelly, I saw your performance in that series. It was really engaging and I like it a lot.”

Nell gave him a cold grin. “What does my performance have to do with you? Not like I care anyway. Your wife is still sitting in jail, and look at you, having the mood to drink and party. Why? Is Young Master Morton about to get a new girlfriend? This ‘true love’ is nothing but plastic!”

Jason’s expression froze.

After the trouble with Celine, he paid her a visit once. Last time, he found Celine to be graceful and refined. However, today, she behaved like a madwoman. There was nothing else she talked about apart from forcing him to find a way to get her out. It irritated him.

He started to feel regret.

This feeling was evident when he witnessed Nell’s performance in the show. Her charisma and skills were as good as Celine’s. If she was not gifted, she could not have presented herself in such a manner.

A woman like Nell was fit for Jason.

As for Celine…

She changed half a year ago and was no longer the Celine he knew previously.

Then, she pushed the door open.

Jason’s expression began to soften and his lips curled into a smile. He followed her inside.

Meanwhile, Simon observed this incident from afar. He frowned and a pensive look appeared on his face.

…

The private room was big and crowded.

Xianshui Pavilion’s private rooms were as big as a regular three-bedroom residence. They were equipped with KTVs and rooms for chess and card games. Some of the private rooms of a higher range had little backyards and there was also a swimming pool in the summer. It was an entertaining place to be.

When she entered the private room, she saw Old Madam Jones and Thomas Morton sitting on the sofa. A middle-aged man in a tuxedo was seated opposite them.

The middle-aged man was in his forties but looked young. His hair was combed backward neatly and the tuxedo he wore had been tailor-made. She was unsure who he was, but judging from the vibe he gave off, he was not an ordinary man.

‘The Jones family and the Morton family are meeting this person at this place. Who is he?’

Nell had her suspicions, but she did not give them too much thought.

She approached them and called, “Old Madam Jones.”

Old Madam Jones had noticed her. She was a bit surprised but still smiled and nodded.

“Nelly, you’re here as well? Are you meeting your friends?”

Nell nodded. “Mm, with some showbiz friends.”

“Oh, I see. You’ve entered showbiz and become an actress. You must be careful, this circle is complicated. However, as your god-grandmother, I know that you’re a good child and I believe you’ll stick to your own principles.”

Nell was touched by her caring words.

No matter what happened before and all the misunderstandings that they had been through, Old Madam Jones was the only person who cared for her after her mother’s death.

Grandpa and Old Madam Jones were inseparable since their youth. When Grandpa was still alive, he and Old Madam Jones were like siblings and wished that their descendants would share a close relationship with each other too. That was why Grandpa made Nell’s mother a goddaughter of Old Madam Jones and Nell her god-granddaughter.
