Hearing Donna's compliments, Megan touched her nose embarrassedly. Apart from Felix's affirmation, never in my life have I been praised by others.
She swore to herself that she would do her best.
People who had looked down on her and hurt her before would all be crushed like a bug.
“Haha. Well, I sure hope so,” Megan replied half-jokingly and glanced away, hiding the emotion in her eyes.
The next morning, Donna rushed to the company to resign with Jacinta. When she met Megan, she did not hold back in her description of Jacinta's livid expression, and they had a good laugh about it.
After all, after enduring her irritating behavior for such a long time, Donna finally could defy her and made her feel humiliated.
It was almost noontime by the time Donna came out from Starling Media. Both of them were hungry, so they headed to a restaurant nearby to have their lunch.
Rolling the pasta on her fork, Donna pondered for a long while before voicing out the question in her mind, “So, what's your plan then?”
Megan knew that Donna did not mean to urge her. She took a sip of the iced water and smiled faintly. “Right now, the most important thing that I need to do is to move to a new place. Luckily, I don't have many things with me, so the only thing I need now is a place to stay.”
“You can just live at my place.” Donna chuckled lightly. Suddenly, she remembered something and turned slightly embarrassed. “But the building is a bit old. You can stay with me if you don't mind.”
Donna's offer comes just in time. Why would I mind if the place is good or not? Megan waved her hand and snapped her fingers gleefully. “No, I don't mind. Donna, you're my lucky star and my life savior!”
Hearing her reply, Donna tucked her hair behind her ear shyly. Then, she put down her fork, wiped the grease staining her lips, and shook her head, smiling. “Don't say that. It's nothing. After we finish our food, let's move your things to my place right away.”
