Never Late, Never Away

Chapter 3167

Donna's tone was sterner than usual, but Megan squeezed her hand in return and lowered her gaze. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

When the latter met Donna's gaze again, she was grim with determination.

"Donna, times are changing" she declared.

"Back then, artists were disciplined, but that might not be the case in the future.Besides, I'm not even a celebrity now.I think Rocky and I will get what we both want."

Initially, Megan wasn't about to reveal too much, but seeing how worried Donna was, she immediately comforted the latter.She appreciated how thoughtful Donna was.

"I can somehow understand what you mean"

Donna sighed and nodded.

"Alright, I'll support your decision.Remember what I said at the entrance of Starling Media? I have faith that you'll become popular."

Donna's lips curved up in a relaxed smile.

Previously, she thought of Megan as a smart and strong-willed young girl, but now she could see how unscrupulous Megan could be.It was quite common for someone in showbiz to act this way, but Donna was still worried.

For once a certain limit was reached, a drastic change which brought along negative consequences would be inevitable.

Donna contacted Rocky from Hot Gossip and they agreed to meet up at a restaurant.

"Hello, Mr.Quick;"

Megan greeted him politely before taking the seat across from him.

The man was so ordinary-looking that he could blend into the crowd easily.He was wearing a simple shirt, and there was a camera on the table.He shot a wary glance in Megan's direction, but there was also a hint of anticipation in his gaze.

Clearly, he thought she was here to give him some scandalous information.

"What information do you have?" Megan was taken aback by how straightforward he was.

She swiftly regained her composure and flashed a smile.

As she stroked her long hair, she shook her head.

"I'm not here for that.I have a deal to discuss with you"

Rocky was puzzled at her request.

He arched his brow and responded, "If that's the case, we don't have to waste each other's time."

He stood up icily and took his camera, about to take his leave.

Instead of stopping him, Megan raised her voice.

"I heard that Hot Gossip's sales are going down the drain.You should be worried about losing your job, right?"

Her words seemed to have hit a nerve in Rocky, as he stopped in his tracks and turned at his shoulder to give her an icy glare.

"Did you come to dig on me? Why? Are you venting your frustrations as your sister, Mia Rockford, is popular and Starling Media has forsaken you?"

Looks like Rocky knows my situation well.

"I'm not as bad-tempered as her.I have a deal for you," came Megan's calm reply.

She remained unfazed even after hearing Rocky's sarcastic comments.

Her steadiness was entirely unlike a girl of her age.

Suddenly, Rocky grew curious as to what she wanted to do.He pulled the chair out and returned to his seat.

Sipping on his tea, he kept his gaze fixated on her.

"Alright, get to the point.Don't beat around the bush."

As he had put down his guard, Megan smirked and nodded firmly.

She lowered her gaze and asked, "Since your company isn't doing well, have you ever thought of becoming an independent paparazzo?"

Rocky nearly spat out the tea in his mouth.

His expression contorted as he retorted in a low voice, "Do you think I have the money to set up my company? If I do, I wouldn't be here right now!"

Clearly, Rocky found Megan's suggestion ridiculous.He cast her a contemptuous look as rage bubbled in him.

Although Rocky had reacted furiously, Megan turned a blind eye to his reaction and gestured for Donna to give him an envelope.

"I'll be your sponsor.This isn’t much, of course."

Upon seeing the check she offered, Rocky's mind went blank.He thought she was merely fooling him, but she was actually being sincere.
