“It's not like I have control over things like emotions,” Jonas replied with a bitter laugh. He then paused and asked again, “Since you are rejecting me, I hope that you will reject everyone else on that day. Can I be your first choice then?”
There was a probing tone in Jonas's question and Megan did not know why he was so persistent about dancing with her. She thought for a while and finally nodded.
After all, she definitely had to reject this dance.
“Sure. I don't know what you are trying to do, but let's just make this a token of our friendship.”
When he heard that, he finally smiled and the gloom on his face finally dissipated.
In a few days, the celebratory party of Transcendent was about to begin. In the last few days, Megan had been so busy with stage performances and choosing the roles in some movies. She had no time to herself at all.
On the day of the party, Megan had just completed an interview recording and was about to head straight to the party when her phone rang.
Before she could even sneak a glance at the screen, she picked up and asked hurriedly, “Hello, what's up?”
“I'm waiting for you downstairs.”
That simple little sentence made her freeze on the spot. That familiar voice clearly belonged to Jake.
How did he come here?
“I'm rushing to the celebratory party and I've no time to fool around with you here.”
Megan was really anxious now as she was just half an hour away from the appointment. She sounded so agitated, clearly forgetting that Jake was not someone to be reckoned with.
“When have I ever allowed you to speak to me like that?” Jake's disapproving voice boomed through the phone. She was stunned for a while before she realized that she could not afford to offend him.
Sighing, she looked at the elevator and walked to the lobby. “What's going on, my dear boss?”
Since she could not look down on him, she could only praise him.
