Chapter: 1180
Ariana's reply was concise.

“Certain children might be more reticent and struggle to articulate their wishes, but kids are not difficult to decipher. Observe where their focus lies, and that should serve as your compass."

Following a prolonged exchange, both participants resumed their separate routines.

Soon, a message arrived from Ariana’s assistant, announcing the completion of all the paperwork for the new company.

Organizing the documents, Ariana retrieved the invitation letter presented by Sonia, a token to partake in a talent show hosted by the BRD Group.

Arriving on set, Ariana handed the invitation letter and the company's business license to a young male staff member.

His gaze swept over her, and upon noticing her newly established company, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. He carelessly placed her documents at the bottom of the pile, commenting, "You must have spent quite a bit on that invitation letter. Most participants in this program are from well-established agencies. Your participation seems like just filling up the numbers and wasting an invitation letter.”

His tone dripped with contempt and mockery. Ariana frowned, but her patience held as she waited for him to complete the procedure.

To her surprise, the staff member allowed the person behind her to proceed with registration, completely ignoring her.

He treated the next person with enthusiasm, displaying an entirely different attitude, even laughing with delight.

This infuriated Ariana. She had to pick up Melon from Sonia's place later and couldn't afford to waste time here.

"What's the meaning of this? Don't we follow the principle of ‘first come, first served'?" she asked the staff member with a cold edge to her voice.

Rolling his eyes, he retorted, "What's your hurry? Don't waste the big company's time, for they have a lot on their plate. You, with your newly established company, probably don't have much business. Wait your turn, what's the big deal?"

“What do you mean by ‘wait your turn'? I was here before him!" Ariana's annoyance was palpable as she stood her ground, refusing to yield her position.

Seeing her steadfastness, the staff member stood up, growing more aggressive.

"Are you trying to cause trouble? If you can't wait, you can get out! There are plenty of people who want to take your spot."

He was on the verge of calling security to remove Ariana.

Just then, a man appeared, his voice stern as he inquired, “What's going on? What's happening here?"

Ariana turned towards the voice, a hint of familiarity tickling her senses. After a moment of recognition, it dawned on her — it was Jayson!

Jayson's appearance seemed to exude a vibrant energy, a stark contrast to the image Ariana had held of him five years ago. His once-short hair, now even shorter, was the only familiar trait that gave her any inkling of recognition.
