Never Late, Never Away

Chapter 3160

"I understand"

With a nod, Megan turned to leave.

Just as Jonas was about to enter his green room, he halted in his tracks and stared at Megan's retreating figure.He uttered, "Go home earlier.If you stick around, Jacinta's going to be mad at you again."

Hearing him, Megan turned around, but he was already gone.

After returning to the filming site, Megan realized that as Jacinta was in a foul mood, the latter had requested to end the afternoon shooting earlier.

When they were on the way back, Megan and Donna sat in the backseat of the van.

They could sense the tension in the air, and Megan knew it was a sign of an incoming storm.

"Megan Rockford.Come here!"

Eventually, I'll have to face the music.

Megan found it a little suffocating to be in the cramped space, but she soon got used to it.

When she raised her head to look at Jacinta's scrunched-up face, it felt as if she was looking at a tsunami rushing toward her.

"Megan, what is your relationship with Jonas?"

Her voice was like a banshee, and it made the hairs on Megan's arms rise along with the goosebumps.

Staring at her, Megan mocked, "What kind of relationship could we have? I told you we don't know each other.I only used him to make myself more popular."

"He doesn't know you?"

Jacinta sneered before screaming, "If he doesn't know you, why would he stand up for you? You liar! You b*tch!"

Jacinta's curses were piercing to her ears, and Megan felt the urge to record all her words to show her fans what Jacinta was truly like.

Unable to stand Jacinta's hysterical screeches, she forced herself to focus elsewhere.

Right then, she thought about her failed plan from earlier.

If Megan was to have a falling out with Jacinta, the most that would happen to her would be her departure from Starling Media.

At the start, she was worried that leaving the company would be an obstacle to the progression of her career, as Transcendent had yet to air.

However, it seemed like she would be nothing but Jacinta's personal punching bag if she continued to stay in Starling Media.

After all, no matter whether it was her past life or her current one, Luna had never thought of her as someone important.

"Maybe Jonas couldn't stand looking at your arrogant demeanor, and that's why he stood up for me."

There was a moment of silence after Megan's words as both Donna and Jacinta froze.

Jacinta even widened her eyes, unable to process what Megan had said for a moment.She was one of the most popular celebrities, and everyone always treated her with respect.

Yet, a countryside bumpkin had just said that she was arrogant.

"Y-You—"

Jacinta stabbed a finger in Megan's direction, but she could not form a full sentence.

After taking in multiple deep breaths, then she finally snapped, "How dare you say that I'm arrogant? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to get Jonas to putting good word for you?"

By then, Jacinta's hair and makeup were in a mess, revealing the aging lines on her face.

Looking at her, Megan laughed before mocking, "Maybe it's because...I'm young."

"Ah!"

All of a sudden, Jacinta maniacally pulled Megan's hair.

The mascara on her face was streaking down her cheeks, and at that moment, she looked like a demon straight from hell.

"Let go of me!"

Megan did not think the words would agitate her that much. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Her scalp was aching from Jacinta's pull, but she could not struggle much in a narrow space.

"Megan, do you want a horrible life in Starling Media? If you dont beg me for forgiveness, I'm never going to let you off!"

The way Jacinta said it was as though Megan would definitely do as she said.

Jacinta's really overestimating Starling Media's worth to her.

"Dream on!"

"You—"

The tension between them was growing stronger and stronger with every passing second, and Donna was fretting at the side.

In her panic, she uttered, "Jacinta, Luna's still waiting for you."

It was an effective move.

Upon hearing the mention of Luna's name, Jacinta calmed down visibly.

However, her face was still scrunched up as she dragged Megan out of the car and into the building.

Megan struggled the entire time, but even until they reached Luna's office, she still could not break free from Jacinta's grip.
