Mia had not expected to have handed the long-awaited opportunity to destroy the person she had hated with such ease.
Megan straightened up after squatting down for a long time. As she stretched her waist and mopped her brow with the back of her hand, she heard the click of a camera shutter.
"Oh my, this young lady..."
Megan's nose twitched at the sound of that remark.
In her previous life, this exact remark by Felix the director had led to the events of Megan leaving the village the first time. She did not expect it to be verbatim this time.
Felix caught sight of her doing laundry by the
river in an instant.
Megan had a low ponytail, out of which strands of hair dangled messily all over the side of her face. Her dark complexion was characteristic of a toiling villager from the mountains. She had pretty features, but the darkness of her skin prevented them from truly shining.
Felix gazed at Megan with a satisfied smile. She is exactly what I'm looking for to be the female lead of this commercial!
The village chief had noticed Felix's gaze, and he hurriedly blocked Megan from view. "Mr. Woods, that girl won't do. Why don't you take a look at my..."
Before he could finish his sentence, however, Felix had already walked up to Megan. "Young lady, what is your name?"
Megan had long seen his question coming. "Megan Rockford," she answered plainly.
"That's a lovely name. Young lady, I'm shooting a short commercial. Would you be interested in staying to watch?"
"Shooting a commercial? What's that? Can I join?" Megan giggled shyly and faked a look of confusion, with Mia's jacket still clutched in her hands.
