Chapter 724 - Seventy Hundred And Twenty-four: Forgot Her Date With Theodore (1/2)

The third point of view:

By the time they arrived, the team was still setting up their equipment, hence it gave Ailee enough time to get updated with the costume department while Neon socialized with his fellow models. The photoshoot location is an open landscape, a wide and long field expressing nature.

And it was while Ailee was speaking to the designer when out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Mackenzie make her way over to Neon and her face distorted at once.

”Hey Jade, can you hear me?” The woman had to wave her hand in front of her.

”Yes,” Ailee answered as soon as she got herself, ”And we're done, right?”

”Yes, we are but -” the woman didn't get to finish the rest of her words because Ailee had already walked out.

”Hi,”

A voice said behind Neon and he turned around to discover it was someone he didn't know aka a stranger.

”Hi, miss....?”

”Miss Mackenzie,” She was quick to introduce herself by thrusting out her hand for a handshake.

”I'm Neon,” He took her hand in a handshake.

”Actually, I introduced myself to you last week at the company but you must have been occupied,” Mackenzie said with an awkward smile.

”Oh, I must have been,” Neon said, smiling nervously. How does he deal with this kind of situation?

”Umm,” Mackenzie cleared her throat, ”Actually, I wanted -”

”Neon,” Ailee interrupted Mackenzie, causing the both of them to turn.

Ailee was almost out of breath as if she had been running but she didn't show it and looked relaxed.

”Ai-Jade,” Neon used her fake identity at the last minute and that made Ailee glare at him in a warning. It

At the same time, Mackenzie noticed their coordinated secret exchange and it made her feel like an outsider - like she was interfering with something she wasn't part of. That made her jealous and her fists clenched by her side.

”Oh, Jade,” Mackenzie said with a big fake smile, ”Nice to meet you again,”

Nice to meet you, my butt, Ailee retorted in her mind. However, she still answered politely, ”Nice to meet you too, Jade,”

Ailee then turned to Neon, hoping to untangle him from this witch when she spoke again, ”It seems you have something to say to Neon because the both of us are kind of in an important conversation,” She was smug.

But to Mackenzie's shock, Neon threw her under the bus, ”Of course not, we don't have any important conversation going on,”

Her jaw dropped to the ground, how could he do that to her all just to please his assistant? Mackenzie was so pissed that smoke was literally oozing out of her ears.
