Chapter 1154 Getting Ravioli With Fame
Out of curiosity, Jason steeled himself to ask a shameless question. “May I try one from your bowl?”
The girl glared at him in return.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I spent half an hour jostling in the crowd to get this bowl. Why should I give you one piece?”
Evidently, she was not willing to share.
Left without a choice, he took out some bills. “Can I buy one piece of ravioli from you for two hundred?”
Two hundred was an exorbitant price to pay just for a piece of ravioli. In his opinion, it was the greatest deal in the world.
To his surprise, the girl rejected him outright.
“No! Two hundred for my ravioli? Stop daydreaming!”
Furrowing his brows, Jason assumed that the girl was seizing the opportunity to extort money from him.
In the interest of time, he took out all the cash he had in his wallet.
“Here’s a thousand. That’s all I have.”
“No! I won’t sell it even for a thousand!” the girl snapped as she attempted to leave with her bowl.
At that moment, he realized that the girl was genuinely reluctant to part with the ravioli and was not trying to pull a fast one on him.
Is it really that good?
The curiosity he felt toward the ravioli deepened.
Since money could not get the job done, he had no choice but to use his final tactic.
Jason clenched his teeth and went after the girl.
When the girl noticed that someone was following her, she turned around nervously. Realizing it was the man who offered to buy her ravioli, she snarled, “Why are you tailing me? Are you planning to snatch them in broad daylight?”
Despite having been rebuffed, Jason was determined to get his hands on the ravioli no matter what.
“That’s not it. The truth is,” he explained while taking off his mask, “I’m Jason Sleight.”
The girl could not believe her eyes.
“A-Are you really him?” she blurted out in shock.
Nodding, Jason quickly shushed her. “We’re filming Amazing Tastes right now. The cameraman is just behind me.”
The girl craned her neck and looked at the man carrying a bag behind Jason. She could spot a hole in the bag and barely recognized the camera lens beyond it.
Coincidentally, she was a fan of Jason’s. Blushing with embarrassment, she replied, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were Jason. I assumed you were trying to steal my ravioli.”
Jason’s lips twitched, and he explained, “I’m looking for a suitable restaurant to film my show. My interest was piqued when I saw the long line here. As I was worried that the restaurant wouldn’t live up to the hype, I decided to get a piece of ravioli from you to try.”
“I see!” The girl nodded before offering Jason the bowl reluctantly. “In that case, you can have this. I’ll go line up for another one.”
She did not mind lining up again since she got to interact with a celebrity.
“Thank you very much.” Jason flashed her a grateful smile, causing her to blush even harder.
“Don’t mention it. If I had known you were filming a show, I would have given it to you right away.”
After thanking her again, he put his mask back on. “We’re filming this in secret, so we’re trying not to attract attention. Could I trouble you to keep my appearance a secret?”
“Of course! No problem!” The girl responded with an “OK” sign and added, “Make sure you do a good job showcasing them, as this restaurant is run by my goddess. If you could help promote her business, I would’ve done my part to help her.”
