It didn't matter. Transcendent was going to air soon, and it would most definitely be her big break.
“Good,” Donna sighed heavily as if a burden had been taken off her shoulders. “We can't rock the boat over an issue as small as this.”
“I know.”
After that, the two of them conversed about what had happened at the hospital until it was eventually time to go to bed. Drained of all energy, Megan took a simple shower before collapsing onto her bed and falling asleep instantly.
The next morning, she was awoken by the sound of her alarm.
She groaned at the thought of having to play second-fiddle to Mia later today. Not even the lingering memories of the pleasant dream she had from last night could cheer her up.
After a quick washing up and changing into a simple outfit, Megan and Donna left the apartment together.
Megan was surprised when they reached the filming set for the commercial; she hadn't expected the crew to actually film on a university campus. It seemed like this project was highly important to the production crew.
“Oh! There's my beloved sister!”
Mia skipped her way over to Megan as soon as she spotted her, ready to make her day a living hell. Fortunately, Megan had the forethought to walk in the opposite direction and completely avoid her as she made her way to the dressing
room.
But Mia was like a parasite, popping up wherever Megan would go every single time without fail.
“Hey, Megan! I took a peek at your script and learned that you're playing the ugly girl who has a crush on the hottest guy in school! Although, I wouldn't really consider this 'acting' for you, because that's what you are in real life, no?”
Mia stood behind Megan as the latter got her makeup done in the dressing room. Their two completely different faces created a stark contrast against each other in the reflection.
The make-up artist's jaw dropped when she heard that, unable to stop herself from asking out of curiosity. “Are you two really sisters?”
Megan was still quite unknown in the entertainment industry, while Mia had built up a considerable following because of Luna's constant promotional work. The treatment they received was as different as the sky and the sea and didn't seem to be related to each other at all.
