Megan, although still perplexed, could tell that Jonas didn't want to elaborate any further on the subject.
So, she chose not to push it. Now that she was coming off of the adrenaline, the guilt was starting to creep up on her upon realizing that her words may have sounded much crueler than intended.
Keeping their worries and burdens to themselves, they both returned to the set. The make-up artist helped touch up Megan's makeup and effectively make her look much uglier than she actually was.
“Wow. You look hideous.”
Mia seemed to have completely forgotten about the incident at the dressing room, staying a
good distance away from Megan as she hurled insults at her.
Megan, once again, ignored her. After all, she'd only gotten mad at the dressing room because Mia had made the first move and laid her filthy hands on her.
Furthermore, she knew that Mia was just being petty and jealous because Mia had spotted her and Jonas walking back to the set together.
“Watch your mouth, Mia,” Osmond quietly reminded her, unknowingly incurring Mia's dissatisfaction.
She'd initially been over the moon thinking that Megan would be sad because she was leaving Starling Media, and had come up with the brilliant idea to humiliate Megan by casting her as “the ugly girl” while she played the gorgeous female lead.
But what pissed Mia off was that Jake and Jonas were treating Megan much better than they were treating her!
I'm the one who deserves everything good in the world! Some plain-looking b*tch has no right to snatch away everything that belongs to me!
“I don't care!”
Mia glared venomously at Megan, who seemed to be secretly enjoying herself, before stomping off towards the film set.
No one took notice of a black Mercedes-Benz parked nearby, its passenger silently watching everything from afar.
“We're starting soon! Everyone take your places!”
