Since they were going to part ways after they disembark anyway, there was no probable way he would be able to place her under any sort of surveillance.
The director's explanation made everything crystal clear, and contrarily, left Megan's heart all topsy-turvy inside. She played with her fingernails and bit her lip. Jake's true sentiments were increasingly unfathomable to her.
“Hey, look up, Megan. Go on and interact with Jonas.”
Martin hand-held the camera and hovered it in front of them. Megan lifted her gaze and eked out a smile. When she turned to Jonas, she found that his level of enthusiasm was, likewise, lukewarm at best.
Megan was not optimistic about the prospects of the upcoming filming. With the two of them being in the mental state that they were in, she feared that things would only get worse.
“Don't be so cold, Jonas. Try to smile a little, at least.”
The man behind the camera was a little unnerved. The few minutes of footage he had so far produced not even a single moment of tenderness. That was a serious cause for concern.
“A little help here, Jonas.”
Megan was mildly irked and somewhat flustered as this should not be her job. The way things went sideways made her a little mad.
Jonas looked askance at Megan. His calm eyes glistened as he silently tilted his head and
fobbed her off with a patronizing nod.
Wow, Jonas. That was one heck of an awkward smile.” Martin was quite flabbergasted at the sight of the two stiffs in his viewfinder. He decided that he had enough and put away his camera, keeping his fingers crossed for some usable footage by the end of this ordeal.
It was nighttime in Horington by the time they got off the plane. The production crew went around to shooting the couple at dinner.
To foster the mood, the production crew had rented a villa ahead of time for them to use. Once they arrived, Megan was requested to prepare a meal on her own.
“I have to make dinner for Jonas?” Megan's eyes widened as she spoke.
It was a tough task for her be it in the past or present, she could not cook to save her life.
