Donna covered her face and chuckled. She had to agree that the sweetness displayed by Megan and Jonas in those lovey-dovey scenes got her senses to overload when she watched the show while Megan was asleep yesterday.
“You haven't watched your own variety show, have you? The editor is awesome! He made you into a princess, while Jonas is your perfect prince. It was a sweetness overload!”
Judging by Donna's exaggerated expression, Megan was now even more afraid to watch it, for fear that she would get disgusted by herself.
“That's enough. You're thinking too much into it. We're only pretending to be in love, yet you act like I'm about to get married.”
Megan waved her hands helplessly, feeling awkward. Since many people said that she and Jonas looked like the perfect match, she was worried that Jake would watch it too and lose his temper.
Thinking about Jake got her to recall how the director had said that someone recommended her back in the audition room. Although she guessed that it was Jake, she couldn't have peace of mind without having a confirmed answer.
As such, she decided to meet Jake and ask him directly.
“Donna, can you go upstairs first and lend me your car? I want to go see Jake.”
“Oh?” Donna blinked her eyes, confusion evident on her face. “Why do you want to see him all of a sudden?”
Megan fell silent for a while before she responded, “It's not a big deal. I just feel a little uneasy whenever I recall what Mr. Hughes said. Even though the judges approved of my acting skills and Mr. Hughes gave me a chance, the one who recommended me was the one who helped get me the opportunity in the first place.”
“So, you're going to thank him?” Donna asked, smiling. However, she suddenly recalled the lovey-dovey scenes Megan had with Jonas and felt worried about the possible impacts on Megan's relationship with Jake.
“Apart from thanking him, I guess I'll only feel relieved once I've clarified that it was indeed him who recommended me.” Megan blinked at Donna, her lips curled into a smile.
