“Mr. Hughes, do pay me some attention.”
Megan finished off her meal by gulping down a mouthful of soup as Jacinta stopped in front of their table. She wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue, feeling content.
Pierce didn't plan on paying Jacinta any attention as he turned to look at Megan, then at his own bowl of beef noodles. He couldn't help but laugh. “Looks like I'm getting old. I would have been able to eat as fast as you if I was your age.
“Of course, you must have been very energetic during your younger days.”
Megan smiled and echoed his sentiment, totally ignoring Jacinta.
Jacinta widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard Megan's voice. She had never taken her eyes off of Pierce the moment she stepped foot into the restaurant. Hence, she didn't realize her rival was sitting right in front of Pierce.
“Megan, w-why are you here?” Jacinta wanted to curse but stopped herself when she realize most of her acquaintances were also in the restaurant.
Megan and Pierce gave her a look of disgust upon hearing her words. The atmosphere between them grew tense.
Megan knew they were going to have a fight the moment Jacinta stepped foot into the restaurant. Sure enough, Jacinta was already picking on her after a brief exchange.
Anyways, Megan had prepared herself for this.
She glared at Jacinta, lifted her chin and stood up, exuding a dogged air of confidence even though she was slightly shorter than Jacinta.
“Why? Do you want to sit here? You can have my place if you want.”
Pierce watched on in silence as tension in the air grew thick. He would have left under normal circumstances, but stayed to watch since it was Megan.
He had nothing better to do than talk crap to photos anyways.
