Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 3114

Chapter 3174

She isn't even fit to be the female lead, and now she's demanding body doubles? The resentment Felix had been suppressing all day exploded at that instant.

"Then why did you apply such a thick layer? Don't you know that the theme of this commercial is about the simplicity of village life? Remove it immediately!" Mia's eyes welled with tears upon being spoken to in this manner. She spun around and glared fiercely at Megan, who feigned a confused expression. The make-up artist chuckled.

Mia had been adamant about wanting to apply eyeliner and blush, even going as far as to ask for lipstick. She had the bossiness of movie stars with none of their fame.

The make-up artist had let Mia get her way, and sure enough, the woman was reprimanded for it immediately.

The shooting of the commercial was delayed for Mia to remove her make-up.

Felix personally came up to the riverbank to deliver instructions.

"When the two of you are splashing," he said.

"Just splash around each other. You don't want to catch a cold and delay the shooting process even further"

The girls nodded, and the shooting finally commenced.

"Action!"

Immediately, Mia splashed so hard that Megan's face was soaked.

It was a good thing that her make-up was light; the water did nothing to alter her look.

Mia laughed in delight as she kept throwing handful after handful of water onto Megan. She wanted nothing more than for Megan to fall sick.

Or even better still, to fall down the river and be swept away.

Mia was convinced that Megan had pulled some invisible strings on the body double incident to get Felix to humiliate her in front of everybody.

In retaliation, Mia leaped at the chance of getting Megan sick.

The crew, who were on set, were able to see through Mia's intentions.

They were all in showbusiness, after all.

Any fondness they had of Mia's appearance disappeared completely.

The shooting schedule had to be delayed to the second day due to the delays Mia had caused.

Megan was soaked by the time the scene was shot.

She felt chilled to the bone as she stood on the riverbank, but she still patiently smiled and said goodbye to the crew members.

As the shoot wrapped up for the day, Felix kept Megan for a brief chat on behalf of the investor.

He informed her that the investor had agreed to sign them both.

Megan knew she had succeeded.

"Me and Mia both?" she asked.

In her previous life, Starling Media had only signed Mia.

Megan was only able to leave the village as Mia's assistant.

Alas, Megan's efforts were not wasted.

Due to Mia's own antics, things began to look different from her previous life.

"What? She's going to sign a contract too?" Mia exclaimed angrily.

Mia had held a grudge against her sister for as long as she could remember.

Because Megan did better in school than Mia, Mia made an effort to suppress her at every turn but was still unsatisfied until she had brought total misery onto Megan.

Mia was deeply uncomfortable by the fact that she was still unable to free herself from her sister's shadow right when she was about to head into the big city.

"Mr.Woods, how could she sign a contract? Look at her!" No one answered her.

Mia's true colors were on full display to everyone that day.

After a brief pause, the investor left under the pretense of having matters to attend to on the following day.

Before he did, he summoned Mia over to have a private little chat with him.

Megan had arrived back at home when she suddenly recalled Felix's words to her before she departed earlier. "Megan, show business is not as glamorous as you think. It wouldn't be such a bad thing if you didn't get in." Megan shook her head stubbornly.

In her previous life, she had suffered indignity in the hands of Mia and still did not have a happy ending.

This time around, to carry out the vengeance she needed, getting into show business was the only way. "Mr.Woods, I would like to see the outside world" said Megan with a determined glint in her eyes.

Beneath the determination and innocence of a village girl was a bloodlust for revenge.

Felix had sighed and said, "So long as you don't lose yourself. Remember, show business is not a good path to take," he reminded her once more.

His advice, though well-intentioned, only served to further strengthen Megan's resolve.

"Mr.Woods, I'll be there tomorrow."

Garret was already waiting at the door.

With her daughter still yet to return, she pulled Megan by the arm, which the woman had anticipated.

"The investor said Mia has potential and would like to discuss the signing of her contract with her, which would take a little longer."
