Seven years ago, besides a few renowned variety shows that were more popular with teenagers, older audiences were absolutely unfamiliar with the concept of variety shows.
Over the years, however, as the influence of international media slowly trickled in, local television channels exploded with a wave of variety shows. Among these, Let's Run had emerged as the undisputed crowd favorite.
Most importantly, Let's Run extended beyond its initial season, and was the ideal platform for any actress to cultivate a loyal following. Having considered this, Megan knew that that starring in this show was an opportunity she could not miss.
Megan, however, saw no need to delve into details with Donna.
Instead, Megan answered breezily, “Each has its own benefits, I suppose. Since I'd already acted in a television series before, I thought I would try my hand at something different.”
Seeing that Megan had already made up her mind, Donna said resignedly, “I'll arrange for an audition then. It'll only be in a month or so, though, so you're booked for other commercial advertisements and brand endorsements in the meantime.”
“Thank you, Donna,” Megan said simply, her eyes shining with gratitude. Even though Megan was Donna's first client, Donna's professionalism and dedication had far exceeded Megan's expectations. Donna must have had undergone great trials to secure so many opportunities for Megan.
I can't let Donna down! I have to work hard, Megan swore to herself.
Noon arrived in the blink of an eye, and Donna and Megan had prepared a simple fare.
Just as they were sitting down to lunch, however, the doorbell rang abruptly. Both Donna and Megan jumped a little before exchanging nervous glances. Megan then stood up and strode over to the door.
“Who's there?” she called.
“I'm here to deliver some items from Mr. Wilson.” A clear voice rang out from behind the door.
Megan's apprehension gave way to stupefaction. She froze for a moment, then peered through the peephole. A deliveryman was indeed standing before the door laden with parcels of various sizes.
Megan quickly opened the door, only to be greeted by the look of fatigue on the deliveryman's face as he staggered forward, laden with the weight of his goods.
Flabbergasted, Megan asked, “Are all of these from Jake?”
