In her moment of frustration, Megan met Herman. Throughout her tough situations, he had stuck by her side and comforted her endlessly. At first, she had thought that he was the man of her dreams. Yet, he turned out to be the monster that dragged her to the depths of hell.
For Herman's sake, she'd went out of her way to drink alcohol and sleep with him. Despite her best efforts, Megan lost Herman's affection and was left with a feeling of disgust towards herself. Furthermore, Mia and Herman had even seized the opportunity to inflict greater harm on her.
Now that she had a second chance, she wouldn't allow them to trample all over her. I certainly won't let them do as they please too!
“Megan, what happened to you?"
When Megan snapped out of her daze, she noticed that everyone in the car was staring at her.
Although Mia's excitement made people restless, the stark contrast of Mia's bright behavior highlighted Megan's gloomy attitude. An ominous presence hung over Megan. Her mature presence did not seem like one of a seventeen year-old.
“Megan, don't you think that this place is beautiful?” Mia asked with a genuine smile. In this foreign place, Megan was the only person she was remotely familiar with. As a result, she treated Megan with more affection.
Megan merely smiled in response as she glanced out of the window to observed the scenery.
Finally, the car came to a halt. After exiting the car, Taylor led Megan and Mia to the rental
home. Mia couldn't help but feel displeased when she stepped into the house. All the famous stars whom I've seen on television live in huge and luxurious villas. Why am I staying in a measly rental home?
Megan swept a gaze around the house. There were two rooms completed with a living room. Additionally, the space was clean and well-equipped with all the necessary household appliances; it was a far cry from their shabby home back in the village. Besides, they were not famous stars yet. A house of this size was much more than she'd expected.
Taylor helped the two of them to unload their luggage and was about to leave. Before he left, he informed them of their schedule for the next day. “There will be someone to pick the two of you tomorrow. Goodbye.”
“Alright, thank you so much.” Whilst Mia continued to grumble about the house, Megan did not forget to extend her gratitude to Taylor. Her humble actions warmed his heart.
