A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3324

Megan and Donna were flummoxed by some of the feedback posted. It was quite unforeseen that her performance turned out so poorly in spite of the scripting.

Donna could not help but exhale. “It really backfired on you this time, Megan.”

Never mind reestablishing Jonas, she nearly got herself in an absolute stinker. One consolation though, was that the production crew came through and managed to craft a few touching scenes for the two of them.

“Oh, it can't be helped. Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. It was fortunate that Jonas managed to get back on track though.” Megan leaned back into the couch and smiled casually, taking it all in her stride.

Donna closed the laptop and looked weakly at Megan, bamboozled by the latter's inexplicable optimism.

“Alright, enough from you. It's getting late. Aren't you going back to Jake's?”

That riposte led Megan's slumped body to stiffen up on the couch. She smiled broadly and exhibited no inclination to get herself up. “He's away for work and won't be back today. Take me in, Donna.”

Megan's pitiful expression left Donna with no cause for refusal, or should it be said that she had never intended to turn her away.

After all, they had always lived together.

She regarded Megan smilingly. “Alright, fine. But I've to start cooking, so I would appreciate it if you could go out and help get me some salt.”

Megan immediately jumped up from the couch, rescinded her earlier flippancy, and pulled a straight face in its place. She then did a curtsy and replied in an even voice, “Yes, Ms. Donna. I'm on it!”

Her impromptu showmanship drew a laugh from Donna who then patted her on the back and shooed her out of the door. “That's enough. Get going."

Megan got herself in check. After she took some money with her, she dashed out of the door with the intention of swiftly swiping up a packet of salt from the convenience store downstairs.

A few minutes later, Megan was almost there. But before she could make her way in, a shadowy figure shot out and pulled her into a side alley.

“Megan!”
