Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 3153

Chapter 3153

It'll be just like her stealing Herman from me in my past life! But.....

Mia's looks are already mesmerizing, so how could I possibly make Jake fall in love with me when I'm not even half as beautiful as she is? After all, he ruthlessly rejected her despite her outstanding beauty! Despite telling herself time and again that it was impossible, the thought of stealing Jake away stuck in Megan's mind like a burr in tweed.

She simply couldn't shake it off, her mind fixating on it to the point that she couldn't sleep even when the hour grew late.

After mocking herself countless times, she finally managed to dislodge the absurd thought and drifted off.

Alas, God seemed to mess with her again the next day by giving her a ray of hope.

When she was done filming her scene, she sat down on a bench to rest.

Just mere moments after she had done so, a low and alluring voice drifted into her ears.

"You did very well earlier."

She turned in the direction of the voice, only to see that it was Jake! Oddly enough, his gaze was pinned on Kelly, who was filming her scene, despite complimenting her. This had Megan feeling rather uncertain as to who exactly he was praising.

"Uh... Who are you referring to, Mr.Wilson?"

"You."

Only then did Jake turn to look at Megan.

All at once, surprise flooded her. It was threaded with mild anxiety and unease, but she merged all the various emotions into indifference.

"Well, thank you."

She was thrilled at that very moment, but still, she kept telling herself that it might just be an off-hand remark from him.

Well...

No matter what, just strike up a conversation! At the very least, you'll leave an impression on him! she reckoned.

Feeling as though her head was stuffed full of cotton, Megan then commented, "Do you like watching actors and actresses act despite being such a busy man, Mr.Wilson?"

"Yeah."

Unexpectedly, Jake promptly answered her, but his reply thwarted any further response from her since there was nothing to be said to that.

A brief moment later, he abruptly got to his feet.

Adam noticed it, but he merely hollered to Jake since the scene had just begun.

"You're leaving, Mr.Wilson?"

"Yeah."

By then, Megan had realized that Jake was truly a taciturn person.

"Well, it's about time, I guess. Um...Megan, please see Mr.Wilson off on my behalf"

Adam then ordered Megan.

Jake subsequently threw another glance at the cast who were filming before he strode away.

Only then did Megan snap back to her senses and hurriedly rush after him.

While she was supposedly seeing him off, she kept a bit of distance between them, not daring to invite embarrassment once more.

Nonetheless, Megan's hopes were in vain, for Mia still caught sight of her behind him at a single glance when they walked past the set where she was shooting an advertisement.

Her eyes that were initially brimming with adulation toward Jake instantly blazed with murder, and she looked as though she wanted to charge over to strangle her right away.

At that very moment, Megan felt intense hatred overwhelming her.

Hah! This is nothing! What I saw in my previous life was far worse than this! No, I've got to give her a taste of the torment I experienced in my past life! As that thought came to her, her body simply reacted without any conscious thought.

She hadn't had the time to change her shoes, so she suddenly tripped when her sky-high heels snagged on a rock.

Jake didn't seem to have expected that, but he still swiftly extended a hand and steadied her.

From Mia's angle, it appeared as though Megan was nestled in his arms.

Sure enough, Megan glimpsed Mia shooting to her feet at once out of the corner of her eye, her face a mask of fury.

At that sight, gratification imbued Megan, and she felt even happier than if she had hit the jackpot.

"Are you okay?"

Her stumble was real, but she remained in Jake's arms.

Only when he spoke did she snap back to reality.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you, Mr.Wilson."

She hastily extricated herself from his embrace, only to unexpectedly glimpse a hint of a blush staining his face. Nevertheless, it faded quickly, and his expression reverted to its usual indifference.

"I'll take it from here"
