Megan stared at their intimate gesture inside the mirror, and instantly her face blushed with shyness.
“Um...it's nothing...”
She choked on her words while her hand paused from brushing her teeth. She abruptly rinsed her mouth and purposely reached for the towel to free herself from Jake's hug.
Jake was not at all offended by her evasive behavior. On the contrary, he displayed a genuine smile as he had never felt this satisfied for years.
Leaning against the door, he asked gently, “Do you want me to accompany you there?”
Megan was stunned momentarily and then shook her head. “It's fine. It's a diner with the sponsor of Let's Run, so all the production crew will be attending. I'm afraid it would be awkward if you tag along.”
Jake could not seem to comprehend what she meant. But the moment he lifted his head, he spotted the unyielding rejection in her eyes.
He nearly forgot that Megan really hated it when anyone interfered with her career.
Thus, Jake did not further insist on his offer. Even though he was slightly displeased, he chose to respect her decision.
It was almost noon when Jake sent Megan to the hotel's lobby; then, he headed back to the company.
Gazing at the disappearing black Mercedes-
Benz, Megan heaved a gasp as the reality at the moment seemed like a fantasy to her.
Whod have thought that one day I would be so close with Jake? Is this a dream?
Her lips curled into a smile as she stepped joyously into the elevator.
The weather had begun to turn warm; hence, most of those who attended the lunch were dressed in flimsy spring wear. With that, Megan was wearing a floral suspender skirt with a tiny jacket, which made her look like a teenager from afar.
Before long, Megan reached the front of the private room mentioned by Donna. As she pushed the door open slowly, she was slightest startled by the big crowd in the room. Most of the crews were already there.
