A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3190

At that moment, Megan finally understood what Steven meant when he said someone would take care of it. He was, in fact, referring to Jake. She didn't know how to react to this revelation. He's the only person who could've gotten Steven to call me.ls he treating me so well because of the stories I made up?

“Hey, focus.” Kelly gently nudged Megan when she noticed the latter spacing out. When Megan lifted her head again, she realized that Jake was no longer there.

Ignoring the reporters below, she whispered to Kelly, “He's gone?”

“He left right after he finished speaking. Big bosses like him must really be busy. It's not that surprising that he couldn't stay too long.” Kelly shrugged, then jerked her chin at the reporters below the stage and advised, “Don't overthink it. There are still a lot of reporters down there. Let's get over with this first.”

Upon hearing that he had left, Megan instantly relaxed. She nodded and exhaled a long breath, finally able to focus on the launch event where no one dared to ask sensitive questions anymore.

Half an hour later, the launch event finally came to an end. Megan trudged backstage, physically and mentally tired. After exchanging a few words with Kelly, Donna came over to drag her away.

Due to what happened on stage just now, Megan was still a little bit dazed. It wasn't only until Donna interrupted that she remembered about her plan to slip away right after getting off stage.

“Okay, okay. We can stop now.” Megan slumped in relief upon arriving at the hotel's back door. If she were to be captured by those unscrupulous paparazzi, her name would be plastered all over the headlines again.

After running for quite some time, the two of them stopped to take a break, panting breathlessly. They were just about to hail a taxi on the main road when someone called out in a loud voice, “Oh my God, Megan Rockford! I have finally found you!”

Megan looked over her shoulder in bewilderment and was confused to see a little girl with a curtain of long hair running toward her. Although reluctant, she still responded out of courtesy, “You are?”

The little girl was visibly disappointed. She wanted to pass the gift in her hand to Megan, but the latter wasn't a kind or naive person. Hence, she merely stared at what looked very much like a lunchbox with no intention to accept it.
