In truth, the moment Megan saw Mia outside the makeup room, she instantly knew that Mia was the special guest. But since it was only for one episode, Megan wasn't too worried about it.
“Alright. We're about to begin filming!”
Upon Jerry's instruction, everyone in the studio took their positions. When the camera started rolling, Mia came in with another four celebrities after being introduced by the host.
For this episode, the theme was a horroradventure mission. Despite the studio being equipped with some special items, most of the episodes would be filmed inside the secret chamber behind them.
“Alright everyone, remember to focus. All of you have gone through the script but you don't have to be act rigidly. Remember to improvise!” the director reminded everyone.
Furrowing his eyebrows, he hoped that the program could be completed without a hitch. However, when his gaze fell upon Mia, he noticed that she was filing her nails and not paying attention.
In the face of her lackadaisical attitude, the director's expression visibly changed. However, he didn't reprimand her for it as they were in a hurry to start filming.
A few minutes later, when everything was in place, the filming of the second episode of Let's Run began.
By drawing lots, the celebrities were separated into their respective groups. This time, Megan was unlucky enough to be placed together with Silas.
There was nothing wrong with him. She was just used to being placed with Tod every time. Tod was someone handsome and athletic. Every time he ran, he would exhibit an exceptional level of performance.
Am I going to lose to Mia this time?
Gritting her teeth, Megan reminded herself not to jump the gun and feel pessimistic before the mission even started.
After the team allocation was completed, all the participants took their places from different starting points. This time, their objective was to solve the riddle in the maze by following the clues.
Naturally, they would be “hunted” by men and “ghosts”. Hence, they needed to maintain their calm throughout the filming.
“Come. Don't worry. I'll protect you,” Silas reassured her. When he saw that Megan didn't move at all, he assumed that she was afraid. Hence, he instructed her to follow his lead.
After regaining her senses, Megan quickly caught up with him and smiled. “I was just thinking about something.”
When both of them entered the secret chamber, the dark and damp environment caused Megan's hair to stand on end.
