When Megan went to check the computer, she realized she had a stiff look the entire time. In fact, the stiffness was as if she had been in a failed plastic surgery. The director, Adam Kennedy, truly had been patient with her.
When Megan saw Herman discussing the script with the other staff members, rage spiked in her. At the same time, curiosity seeped into her mind.
In her past life, she had not been in Transcendent, and she had met Herman before joining the crew. In her current life, she had changed her fate, and she thought that meant she would not meet Herman again. Yet, she did. Fate is playing a joke on me.
However, Herman had not thought that he had been the cause of what happened during the afternoon. When he saw Megan turning to leave, he cried out, seemingly unsatisfied. “Megan, wait. Is there some kind of misunderstanding between us?”
Instead of replying to him, Megan continued walking forward. Yet, it seemed like Herman was adamant about confronting Megan. He hurried forward, seemingly uninterested in giving up until his goal was achieved.
“Wait, Megan. Do you treat others like this too?” Herman wondered. Until then, Megan had been scowling at him.
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Megan uttered, still staring at him with a dark look.
“Well, not really,” Herman shyly said. Then, he continued, “Do... you know how has your sister been? I sent her—”
“I don't.” His words had felt as if he had dunked her in icy cold water, and for a moment, she found it hard to breathe.
She had not expected Herman to come asking her about Mia. Yet, when she thought about it, she realized they had no common topics to chat about anyway.
It was something she should have known since her past life. Megan laughed at herself inwardly for having assumed that things would be different.
