With a smile, Jake returned his focus back on his screen. “It seems like you're confident. Although you were the one to approach me at the start, you never asked for my help. Perhaps that's why I trust you.”
Whenever she thought about that period of her life, Megan still felt anxious. However, she knew that time had passed. Shaking her head, she flashed him a helpless smile.
“There's no use in relying on someone else. If I can't get others to recognize my talent in this industry, I'll have nothing once my sponsor is gone.
Jake nodded in agreement. It seemed like his woman was much more independent than most other women in the industry.
“Mr. Wilson, we've arrived,” the driver informed.
When Megan looked out of the window, she realized they were outside her house. After bidding him goodbye, she was about to leave the car when Jake suddenly stopped her. When she turned to look at him, she saw indecipherable emotions churning in his eyes.
“Megan, stay away from Jonas.”
His words stunned her. As her heart sank, she frowned.
“I can't promise you that yet. I don't want to lie to you.
Almost immediately, a displeased look emerged on Jake's face. His grip on Megan's arm tightened as he voiced, “Are you still trying to stay in contact with him? Are you trying to two-time?”
Two-time?
Megan tensed up. The next emotion she felt was anger. It rose quickly in her chest as she thought, So I'm that kind of person to him?
Clicking her tongue, she then snapped, “No. Jonas has saved me before, and I will not be an ungrateful person. Moreover, he never said he loved me.”
“Do you really think he meant that?” Jake scoffed. The look in his eyes was turning gloomier with every ticking second, and it was as if he did not plan to let Megan off until he got an answer he wanted.
