A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3203

“That...” Stephen snuck a wary glance at Osmond. “Mia is signed under Starling Media, while the commercial was commissioned by one of your subsidiaries, Mr. Wilson. I think you should have the last say on this issue.”

It was a smart way of not pushing the blame onto either side. Stephen, with the gut feeling that a storm was coming his way, wanted nothing more than to be a passerby rather than in the eye of the storm.

Jake had expected that the director would say as such. He lifted his head to fix his piercing stare on Osmond, seeing right through his mask.

This was the kind of fear that power and money brought about.

“Then, I'll do as Mr. Floyd said and be the last word on this. I want Megan and Mia to switch their roles and resume filming.”

He briefly glanced in Megan's direction and met her astonished stare.

At that very moment, Megan felt her heart skip a beat. She frantically tore away from his gaze, hiding her face from him as she took deep breaths to calm her overheating body down.

Megan was starting to grow scared. She'd only provoked the man because of what had happened in her past life and because she merely didn't want to let Mia do as she pleased. But right now, her feelings for him seemed to be developing in a completely different direction than she'd prepared for.

She'd underestimated Jake's charm.

Mia's face fell. She was about to open her mouth to complain when Osmond immediately pushed her to stand behind him. “Yes, sir. We'll do as you wish.”

His answer was very brief and without an ounce of apprehension, causing everyone else to start whispering excitedly to one another. The distant yet insistent voices irritated Mia greatly and made her feel as if bugs were crawling all over her skin. She felt the bitter taste of bile in the back of her mouth but found that she couldn't even lift a single finger, let alone run away.

“Good. Get prepared and resume filming.” Jake waved them all off, scanning his surroundings as he tried to seek Megan out.

“Mr. Wilson.”
