Never Late, Never Away

Chapter 3188

Mr.Hayes has always hated unnecessary hype, so why would he insist on having me there? Megan could only think of one possibility—Jake had something to do with it.

After all, Sky Entertainment was the main investor of Transcendent.

Hence, giving a newcomer the chance to attend its launch event was but a walk in the park for Jake.

The next day, Megan and Donna were the first to arrive at the launch event.

The event this time was grander than the last one.

Security was much tighter as well, which was obviously to prevent another horrible incident like before.

"Wow, there are already so many people outside." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Megan pulled open the curtain for a peek.

Placing one hand on her chest, she feigned nervousness.

Donna giggled beside her and teased, "I doubt you'd be afraid even when the curtains were fully drawn, but you can keep pretending if it makes you happy."

She was not wrong to say that.

Right then, the only thing Megan feared was Jake sending her to Alendor.

"Megan?"

The two of them were happily chatting away when a familiar male voice came from behind.

Looking over her shoulder, Megan realized that Jonas was standing just inches away from her.She blinked several times, clearly surprised to see him.

"What are you doing here?"

Jonas smiled upon seeing the disbelief look sprawled on her face.

"Don't tell me you didn't know that I sang the theme song for this film? The boss asked me to come and show some support."

Show support, huh? Megan eyed Jonas suspiciously and was transiently lost for words.

I never knew that a film directed by Mr.Hayes needed support from a young idol.

"Hey, what's with that look?"

Jonas's expression changed subtly upon detecting the doubt in her gaze.

He couldn't help but chide, "I'm not the kind of person who'd lie to someone who was dumb enough to fall victim to Jacinta's ploy."

At the mention of Jacinta, white-hot rage swelled in Megan.

She had yet to get over that incident, but here he was, rubbing salt into the wound.

"Are you here to flaunt your low EQ in front of me?"

With anger coursing through her veins, Megan had no intention to be civil with Jonas.She shot him a dirty look and skirted around him to sit on a stool by the side.

Since his debut, Jonas had only been adored by girls.

This was the first time a woman dared to give him an attitude.

Hence, he was found it vexing and amusing at the same time.

However, Megan was usually an even-tempered person.

It seems like I have really said something wrong and pissed her off.

Jonas sighed in resignation.

Noticing Megan's flushed cheeks whilst lost in thought, he was surprised to see how cute she looked now.

He walked forward and lightly nudged her shoe with his own.

Lowering his ego a little, he muttered, "Don't be mad.I'll make it up to you with a meal after the launch event."

"No, thank you.Please stay away from me."

Megan lifted her gaze to glance fleetingly at Jonas’ innocent expression.

Suddenly, all of the frustration brought about by Jacinta and the internet trolls rushed to the forefront of her mind, making her all the more repulsed by the sight of the man before her.

Obviously, she forgot that she had herself to blame for being close to him.

Minutes passed, but the two of them remained in a deadlock.

Standing awkwardly by the side, Donna couldn't find an opening to intervene.

Seeing as Megan didn't budge even after he coaxed her, Jonas simply ignored her, lest she became smug.

After what felt like an eternity, Jonas abruptly left the break room backstage.

Donna gently nudged Megan and used her chin to point in the direction Jonas had left.

"Let's go"

Megan craned her neck to look in that direction and finally heaved a sigh.

Truth be told, her anger had subsided a long time ago and she was merely pretending later on.

After all, she didn't want to get too close to Jonas.

One Jacinta had given her enough trouble to last her a lifetime.

"He's gone.Good.The launch event is probably starting soon.Let's escape right after it's over’ Megan stood up and whispered nervously to Donna, as though she was about to commit a terrible crime later.

Donna nodded profusely and responded with a serious expression.

"Okay.We'll make a mad dash for the exit together!"

More people poured into the break room.By the time the last person arrived, it was also almost time for the launch event to begin.
