The simple headline was clear and understandable but did not catch Megan's interest, for she had never been interested in social news.
However, just as she was about to close the tab, she realized that the picture attached was one of Anderson.
She widened her eyes in disbelief and rubbed them again, unable to believe that the same person who had kneeled in humiliation just the day before had been arrested the very next day.
After she calmed down, she pondered for a while about it. This can't be a coincidence. Jake must have done something yesterday. Otherwise, Mr. Whittemore wouldn't have been arrested for such a crime.
That thought brought a chill down her spine. Mr. Whittemore got such an outcome just for offending Jake. If he finds out that I cheated his feelings, wouldn't it be worse for me?
Suddenly, she felt that being sold off to Alendor was a good way to deal with the situation. At least then, she would still be alive.
After a restless morning, she planned to go out to buy something when she received a call from Donna, who said that season two of Love In Progress was about to start filming.
Since she had only managed to rest for a day before she had to start work again, Megan was resistant to the news. After all, the issue with Jonas had already almost ended. As such, if they continue filming, both of them were going to be completely exposed.
However, even if she did not want to go, she still had to. Since it was written in her contract, she had to adhere to the agreement.
Perhaps it was because the previous season's ratings were too low that the production team had cut down on their activity expenses. This time, each person only had three thousand. Thus, they picked a day where plane ticket prices were lower and headed off to the filming site.
There was an inexplicable air of awkwardness between Megan and Jonas when they met again. They did not speak to each other, and it was as if there was a thick wall separating them into two different worlds.
“The weather's not bad today.”
After sleeping on the plane all the way, the pair finally landed in H City, and the first sentence shared between them was a very plain comment.
