Megan bit the bullet and continued with the shooting. Throughout the process, she couldn't help glancing at Jake. To her surprise, although he looked displeased, he didn't voice his objection nor stop the recording.
“Alright. Let's take a break. Megan, you need to immerse yourself fully in your character.”
Sitting behind the monitor, the producer could sense Megan's nervousness. Although the latter had acted out the shyness of a girl when she first met her crush, her acting lacked the feeling of affection.
“Okay. I'll try.”
Megan accepted the producer's criticism with appreciation. She closed her eyes and let out a deep breath. Just then, she saw Jake beckoning
her over.
She hesitated to go over, unwilling to be so close to Jake in front of other people. Eventually, she walked toward him and sat some distance away from him.
Back in the yard earlier, they were intimate, hugging together when no one was around. Yet, she was now treating him as if he was a stranger.
Unhappy with her different attitudes, he asked in a cold voice, “Why are you sitting so far away?”
Instead of answering him, Megan cast her eyes over at the crew members focusing on their meals. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she excused herself to the washroom.
Jake had no idea what she was up to. His face darkened as the door of the private room closed shut. He then cast his eyes at Jonas. His face grew grim upon noticing that the latter was looking in the direction where Megan left.
Has something happened between them that I don't know?
Suspicion was gnawing at Jake. Right then, his phone rang. It was a message from Megan: Let's meet outside. There are too many people in there.
His heart was overwhelmed with frustration after reading the message. Megan made him feel as if he was an embarrassment to her.
