“What does that have to do with you? Why are you asking a girl a question like that? That isn't very gentlemanly of you.”
Megan did not want to answer his questions, and that was why her response was to question him instead. It seemed like Osmond had found his answer from Megan's momentary hesitation, so he did not insist on an answer.
He put one of his hands into his pocket and chuckled. “Is that so? I'm sorry, then. I'll be taking my leave to take a look at Mia now.”
Then, the sounds of his leather shoes hitting the marble floor echoed in the hallway as he walked away. Once he was gone, Megan turned tense. It seems like he's found out something.But how? I never mentioned a single word about Jake. Can Osmond really deduce our relationship just by a

With that hastily said, Megan darted out of the stadium.

beeping noise frustrated her.
“Hello? What's wrong?”
Jake was sitting in the office on the highest floor of Sky Entertainment when her call came. He was surprised that Megan was calling so soon, as they just had a fight a while ago; he was sure that Megan would not call him until he called her.
Megan went straight to the point. “I have a question for you about the clothes you gifted me. There aren't any of your personal preferences embedded in those clothes, right?
