Chapter 35
Finally, the interpreter arrived. It was a young girl.
Jasper shoved Ariana aside and shouted at the interpreter, “Don’t just stand there! Come and translate for me!”
Before the interpreter could get down to work, the two Italians said a few words, packed up their things, and left.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“What... What just happened?” Jasper directed that question to the interpreter.
The interpreter faltered, “Ermm... Ivan said that the shoot is canceled, and that he would pick another model for the commercial.”
“What?” Brielle flipped out. She looked at Ariana angrily. “This is all your fault! You must have said something to ruin my chance. Out with it!”
Ariana scoffed. “Are you really going to put the blame on me? Just so you know, those two understand English very well. They heard all you said about the jewelry. You should be thankful that they didn’t make a scene since you wasted their precious time!”
“Bah! You are one big liar! My guts tell me that you said something to them. You bitch!” Brielle went feral. She gave Ariana a hard shove.
Ariana raised her hand to fight back, but Jasper stopped her. He looked into her eyes and warned, “Don’t even dare. This is the workplace. Don’t make a scene here.”
“Mr. Anderson, you have forgotten your identity, haven’t you?” Ariana sneered. She leaned over and whispered to him, “Even though we are both colleagues in public, I’m still your elder brother’s wife. What right do you have to speak to me in that manner?”
“You!” Jasper wanted to give her a piece of his mind, but he couldn’t find the right words to say. His eyes turned red as he glared at her.
Just as they were in a stalemate, Donna rushed into the studio and wagged her index finger at Ariana.
“Hey, newbie! Have you gone nuts? Is this the station 1 assigned you to? What the hell are you doing here? You even ruined our model's work. If you love yourself, you would quit instead of causing so much trouble here!”
Ariana explained with a grievance, “It’s not what you think, Donna. | just—*
“Hey, hey! Not another word!” Donna cut her off. She then turned to Jasper and bowed to him. “I’m sorry, sir. She’s a dumbo. Although | assigned the task of cleaning up the warehouse to her, | don’t know why she wandered until she got here.”
Arealization struck Ariana when she saw Donna being so respectful to Jasper. It appeared that she was Jasper’s stooge. No wonder she had been acting up since!
“This troublemaker fucked things up today. She must be punished. We play by the book here, don’t we? Jasper uttered casually with his hands in his pockets. Taking the hint, Donna turned around to look at Ariana and said arrogantly, “You are guilty of negligence of duty, interference in
others’ work, and causing the company to lose a fortune. All of these are frowned upon at SJ Entertainment. You are fired!”
This statement dazed Ariana for several seconds. Soon, she recovered from the shock. “Why would you fire me? | did nothing wrong. You have no right to fire me.”
“Shut up!” Donna shouted angrily. “You were only employed here a few days ago, but you have caused such a big loss. Who knows how much more the company would lose if you continue to work here? You are lucky that we aren't asking you to pay for damages. Get out of here right now!”
Everyone in the studio gathered to watch the scene at this time.
Ariana had no one on her side now. She stood there with her fists clenched. No one would believe her even if she tried to explain.
