Chapter 3318 Sour Faces

The alarms inside Martins head went into overdrive when it dawned upon him what a dreadfulmistake it was for him to sign on this contract.

Megan picked up on that and smirked. She then glared at Jake. “So what? It's not like you careabout it. First, you tested me, and now you put me under supervision? Why do you insist that theremust be something going on between me and Jonas?”

Her aggressive words stabbed at Jake's heart like a knife.

He was perplexed as to why he felt so terrible. What he had taken for granted as an expression ofanger before now seemed more like a feeling of care. What he felt was a sense of emptiness andself-pity after being wantonly crushed.

Jake pursed his lips. This was neither the time nor place where he wanted to discuss these things. Heaverted her gaze and relinquished his grip on her.

“There's nothing to explain. To think you're this upset even though we're just traveling together forwork spoke to how much you must have hated me.”

Jake's cold gaze swept over Megan before he brushed past her shoulder. Then, he made a beelinefor the door and slammed it on the way out.

The entire lounge abruptly fell into silence. Martin could only look haplessly to the silent Jonas andthe sullen Megan.

This is really a disaster!

A proper dating show now reduced to a contest of sour faces!

“Yeah... you should talk for a while. I'll come back in when it's time to board.”

Martin did not know how to go about counseling them. The heaviness that hung in the air insidethe lounge ultimately proved too suffocating for his liking, so he got Donna to walk out alongsidehim, emptying the room for the two who remained.

Megan was restless amidst the stagnated atmosphere. She twice glanced over at Jonas in thedistance whose eyes were veiled beneath the shadow of his loose fringes.

“Is there anything you would like to ask me?”

Jonas turned sharply to regard Megan. His eyes were quietly wistful, but vacuous otherwise.

“It isn't important. Let's just prepare ourselves for the filming.”

Megan had neither the vitriol she showed Jake nor the consolation she provided from before. Onlya stark staidness was reserved for him.

The more she behaved this way, the more it revealed how much this bothered her.

"Alright. Il do that.”

Since she had no desire to talk, there was no reason for him to persist further. Regardless ofwhether she was angry or sad, he could never affect her emotional state, to begin with.

Megan lowered her gaze as she listened. Another glance at him left her in a disarray inside, so shesimply went for the door and made her way out.

Time whittled away and ten minutes had elapsed. It was finally time to embark, so Megan rejoinedthe main group which soon began boarding.

Megan and Jonas would have chosen to sit apart if not for the director's insistence. He firmlystressed to them that Jake would be taking a different flight and would not be a distraction duringtheir filming.

Megan might have felt better off had Martin not mentioned this. The fact that he did only made herfeel worse.

Regardless, her frustration seemed to have settled down well before she absentmindedly relocatedherself next to Jonas.

Shortly after Jake's exit, Megan went to look up the director because she did not understand whathe meant by just traveling together for work.

She fell silent after hearing his reply.

It would seem that Jake had gotten in contact with the production crew immediately upon hisreturn from J Nation, hoping to be able to catch the same flight out to Horington with them. He wasgenuinely transiting there for a business meeting, and not to supervise her.

Martin made it clear that Jake was extremely down when the latter informed him that he wasplanning to take a different flight, and guessed that all Jake might have wanted was to seize theopportunity to see her.
