“That man is indeed devious!” Donna commented without reserve.
Megan turned around and covered her mouth to stifle her chuckles. She didn't respond and simply held Donna's hand to go home.
Before arriving at the stairs, they saw a man and a woman tugging at each other, probably arguing about something.
As Megan didn't want to be a busybody, she merely glanced at them for a second before leaving. After all, it was none of her business.
Coincidentally, she happened to gaze at the woman's face the moment she wanted to walk past them. She instantly recognized the woman as Melissa.
What are they doing here?
Megan was bewildered. She quickly grabbed Donna's arm and hid somewhere to eavesdrop on their conversation.
“Why did you lie to me? You promised that you'll get me a role in The Royal Wife after I sleep with you for one night!”
Melissa grabbed the man's arms tightly and cried her eyes out. As the stairway was dimly lit, the light reflected on her pale face made her look like a ghost.
Although the man tried hard to break free from her, she apparently didn't wish to let go. Instead, she grabbed his arms tighter while her face distorted in agony.
“Why don't you read the bad reviews about yourself? Besides, I'm not the director, do you really think I can get you the role?” There were already some scratches on the man's arms as Melissa tightened her grip. Megan watched on as the pair continued to argue going upstairs.
Just when Megan wanted to drag Donna to follow the pair, the man suddenly struggled frantically to break free from Melissa's grip.
Melissa, being already weak from weeping and tugging at him for quite some time, did not expect his sudden movement. The next moment, she was pushed down the stairs.
Megan nearly jumped out of her skin. After all, she never wished for Melissa to die no matter how much she hated the latter. Besides, the grudge that she held against Melissa was different than that of Mia.
