Jake tilted his head slightly and suspiciously. He suddenly understood what Megan thought.
He raised his brows and put on a mysterious expression. His gaze was strange when he pointed out, “I didn't even mention this matter, but you still spoke about it. Are you feeling guilty?”
Jake's question was obviously a test, and Megan would have none of it. She held her head up high and glared at him in distaste before dissing, “You know what? Just forget all about me if you don't believe that I am Megan. There's no point in testing me again and again. It's not like it's a fun game or anything.”
He raised his brows upon being retaliated like that. His expression remained unreadable as he looked into her eyes and saw the stubbornness
in them.
I guess it's still too early to determine if Megan is lying to me.
Jake ignored his suspicion and checked his watch. That was when he realized that it was late. He frowned unhappily after seeing the disheveled state of Megan's dress.
“Your dress is in a terrible state. Let's use the back door. I'll take you home.”
Megan suddenly felt angry when she saw how the man looked at her dress. It's all your fault that my beautiful dress is destroyed!
The two of them exited the hotel together. Jake took his coat off and draped it over Megan so that she could shield herself. He was also quick at getting her in the car.
Things had changed. She was much more famous than she used to be, so it would be troublesome if the paparazzi snapped a photo of her.
“Should I take you to your rented place directly?” asked Jake as he got into the driver's seat and started the engine. His tone revealed that he looked down on that place a little.
Megan turned to him. She covered her shoulders up using his coat before replying, “Yes, please take me to the rented apartment made for poor saps like me. You can drop me off at the ground floor, Mr. President.”
Jake chuckled when he heard the underlying anger in her voice. He drove out of the parking lot while asking, “Sounds like you're not too happy about that place. Why don't you move out? I'll help you find a place.”
