“I'm really sorry about last time. I spoke without thinking. Don't take it to heart, please," Jacob said sheepishly.

“It's nothing. I understand your choice," Ariana replied perfunctorily.

After a short pause, Jacob continued, “You know Mr. Cugat rarely visits Eleymond. He's a veteran legend in the industry. The show's production team should really offer him some hospitality to make his stay here more enjoyable."

It was obvious from Jacob's words that he wanted to see Julio.

Ariana didn't want to be in conflict with the production team, so she agreed to talk to Julio and saw Jacob off.
