Megan nodded, excitement gleaming in her gaze. She declared smugly, “If I get selected, it will be my first female lead role. But there are still other skillful actresses out there. At least I have a huge chance of landing the role.”
She knew her place, for the actress chosen for the lead role in The Royal Wife in her past life was professional and exceptional.
Jake noticed her pensive look and tapped his fingers against the couch in an awkward manner.
She won't let me help her. If she's like the others who pester me to achieve success, she would've received plenty of jobs now.Never mind. I should stop thinking about that. Otherwise, my illness will return.
Jake changed the subject abruptly. “Even if you didn't come today, I'd go to you soon.”
Megan froze and blurted out, “Why would you come to me?”
Jake's gaze darkened as his voice grew solemn. “You mentioned Herman Clear previously. I remember he was just an unpopular celebrity. Recently, when I went to meet up with a friend for work, I found out he's working for my friend.”
“What?”
Megan's expression stiffened as though she had no idea what he was talking about.
Did Herman go to Jake's friend after his fallout with Mia?l don't think Herman's working for his friend. He's spouting nonsense.
Megan's expression grew solemn as uneasiness crept up her heart. Jake was her enemy in her past life, so he could send her to hell any minute. Her tingling instincts told her danger was coming.
Turning over, she knitted her brows and asked, “Did you guys talk a lot?”
Jake took in Megan's somber expression. He pondered for a while before nodding. “Yes. At least I remember him now.”
Megan shuddered involuntarily with an explosion of goosebumps all over her body. She might be the only one who knew how terrifying Jake's words were.
