Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 3117

Chapter 3117

With that cunningly phrased exclamation, Mia had turned the situation around to make it seem like it was Megan's fault.

Megan, on the other hand, did not expect Mia to return, much less have Garret free her.

Garret opened the door most reluctantly, and Megan caught sight of Taylor standing behind Mia.She understood the situation at a glance.

Felix must have sensed that Megan was in trouble, and had dispatched Taylor to investigate the matter.

"Megan, if you didn't want to be a part of the commercial, you could have mentioned it! You kept the whole crew waiting, not to mention delaying the whole schedule."

Mia's speech gave the impression that she was thoughtful and kind, and at the same time, she was painting a picture of incompetence to depict Megan.

Garret chuckled to herself.

It's a good thing that my daughter is a sharp one, or I would have to endure the gossip on the street! Beads of sweat started to form on Megan's brow, but there were more pressing matters at hand. She rejected Taylor's coat when he handed it to her.

"Thank you, but I don't need it. Let's head over to the shoot. Mr. Woods must be waiting anxiously."

She led the way out of the door and went to the location of the shoot with Taylor.

Mia was outraged. She had hated her sister since the day they met.

Megan was supposed to be subservient to Mia, who had never considered her a threat.

With this surprising turn of events, Megan suddenly became Mia's competitor for the role of her dreams.

At the thought of members of the crew favoring Megan over herself, Mia wanted nothing more than to knock her sister's brains out.

"Young lady, are you sure you can do this?" Felix asked with concern when he caught sight of Megan's pale face when they arrived on set.

"Yes, I can.I would like to express my deepest apologies to everyone for being late today;' Megan said guiltily as she glanced at the crew, who were most sympathetic.

"Alright then.Let's not waste any more time.Go get your make-up done"

Felix clapped Megan on the shoulder to her gratitude.

In both her previous and present lives, the man had always been courteous and kind with her.

In her previous life, it pained Megan greatly to have heard that he had plagiarized the works of other directors.

As a result, he had been treated as an outcast within the industry.

Half a month later, Felix had committed suicide by overdosing on prescription drugs.

The situation all looked and smelled fishy, but Megan could not quite put her finger on it.

Megan had her make-up done with great haste.

The make-up artist had a very good impression of her as she was polite and soft-spoken from the day before.

She had even given Megan some of her own medicine to combat her fever.

"It's done. Have a look" the make-up artist said after a couple of minutes.

"Thank you for the trouble."

Her skills were superb.

Megan did not even look like she had a raging fever.

Mia was prepared to joke about how Megan's deathly pale face would never make it on camera as the latter got ready.

Her jealous rage was something to behold when Megan emerged looking pretty and rosy-cheeked enough to disguise her illness.

"I want my make-up done like that"

Mia pointed a quivering finger at Megan and demanded.

However, the make-up artist pretended not to hear her.

To avoid a repeat of the incident from the day before, Felix gave strict orders before the shooting commenced.

"Due to the constraints of time, everything must be filmed today.If we fail to meet the deadline, this commercial will be a flop."

Mia did not dare carry out the schemes she had planned to sabotage Megan.

Instead, she was accommodating and played her part well for fear of jeopardizing her own career.

The beauty of the scene and the general enthusiasm motivated everybody to perform at their best.

To meet the demands of the investor, Felix devoted plenty of screen time to Mia.

After half a day of intense shooting, all the details were finally worked out.

"Okay, that's a wrap!"

Felix announced, causing the crew to heave a sigh of relief.

"Two of you will be coming with me to the city tonight," Felix said, addressing the girls.

"We have an hour to go.Go home and pack your belongings."

He had Taylor follow them back and help them with their luggage.

Megan gazed at Felix with gratitude.

She knew the man was subtly protecting her from whatever horrors Garret and Mia had planned for her.

Though she did not have the means of repaying him at the moment, Megan kept his kindness to heart and vowed to repay him in the future.

Garret had already packed Mia's things for her when the party arrived home. She had two large sackfuls along with three smaller bags.

"You don't have to bring your bedding," Taylor said as he peered into one of the bags.

He was not in the mood for hauling all of Mia's bags all night long.
