She did not have any concrete evidence to prove that Mia was the mastermind manipulating everything. Moreover, there was nothing much she could say after Osmond spoke up for Mia on the spot at that time.
Hence, she could only endure silently as there was nothing she could do at the moment.
She only had herself to blame for underestimating Mia's insidiousness in playing mind games.
Other than being arrogant, Mia was apparently not her usual self anymore. As Mia's manager, Osmond must have indirectly trained her into a scheming and insidious person.
Megan was upset about losing the golden opportunity of joining Let's Run due to her sudden injury. She could only try her luck to be shortlisted as the special guest for the second season.
Nevertheless, things did not turn out as expected by her.
To her surprise, she received a call from the director of Let's Run the day after she was discharged. The latter offered her the chance to be the last special guest shortlisted for the filming of the reality show.
The moment she received the invitation from the director, she felt a rush of complex emotions. She knew almost at once who was the mighty person enabling the twist to the current situation.
After hanging up the phone, Megan was lost in her own thoughts.
Whenever a man fell head over heels for a woman, it was just natural for him to think of giving her a hand and fulfilling her dreams by all means. Nevertheless, Megan disliked it when others stepped in all of a sudden to meddle with her things. In other words, she preferred to find her own way to sort things out.
What she had gone through in the previous life had taught her into having a different perspective for everything in this life. She realized the importance of having her feet on the ground, instead of having unrealistic dreams. Furthermore, she tended to mind others' perceptions of her and yearned to live a simple life for the rest of “this” life without being influenced by anyone.
“Megan, what's the matter with you? Are you daydreaming? If |'m not mistaken, the director mentioned that you have to fly to Lostaria for the filming of the show, right?” Donna patted
Megan's shoulder when she saw her staring off into the space.
Megan came to her herself and glanced at Donna. She let out a deep sigh when she recalled how she had caused Donna a lot of inconveniences while she was hospitalized for the past few days.
“I'm not going. If I'm not wrong, Jake was the one who pulled strings for me this round. If not, it's impossible that I'll be given the opportunity to join the reality show at the last minute.”
