Chapter 3212 I Am Here To Pick You Up

"It's not like I have control over things like emotions," Jonas replied with a bitter laugh. He then paused and asked again, "Since you are rejecting me, I hope that you will reject everyone else on that day. Can I be your first choice then?"

There was a probing tone in Jonas's question and Megan did not know why he was so persistent about dancing with her. She thought for a while and finally nodded.

After all, she definitely had to reject this dance.

"Sure. I don't know what you are trying to do, but let's just make this a token of our friendship."

When he heard that, he finally smiled and the gloom on his face finally dissipated.

In a few days, the celebratory party of Transcendent was about to begin. In the last few days, Megan had been so busy with stage performances and choosing the roles in some movies. She had no time to herself at all.

On the day of the party, Megan had just completed an interview recording and was about to head straight to the party when her phone rang.

Before she could even sneak a glance at the screen, she picked up and asked hurriedly, "Hello, what's up?"

"I'm waiting for you downstairs."

That simple little sentence made her freeze on the spot. That familiar voice clearly belonged to Jake.

How did he come here?

"I'm rushing to the celebratory party and I've no time to fool around with you here."

Megan was really anxious now as she was just half an hour away from the appointment. She sounded so agitated, clearly forgetting that Jake was not someone to be reckoned with.

"When have I ever allowed you to speak to me like that?" Jake's disapproving voice boomed through the phone. She was stunned for a while before she realized that she could not afford to offend him. Sighing, she looked at the elevator and walked to the lobby. "What's going on, my dear boss?"

Since she could not look down on him, she could only praise him.

"I'm in a good mood so I'm here to pick you up."

The submissiveness in Megan's voice made his anger disappear.

He lowered the car window and his gaze zeroed into the building entrance as he watched Megan.

When he saw the long-haired woman in a coat walk out of the door, he immediately indicated for his driver to stop the car in front of her.

"Why are you still standing there?"

They had not hung up yet. When Megan saw the luxury car that had appeared out of nowhere while she heard Jake through the phone, she instantly understood that this was his car. Through the car window, Megan could not make out the person inside at all. She was hesitating whether to get into the car or to hail a cab.

The party was about to begin, but the more time she spent with Jake, the more uncomfortable she would become.

"Do I have to open the door for you?" A low voice came from inside the car.

Megan shuddered at the chilly tone and decided not to go anywhere.

"I wouldn't dare to trouble you." Megan hung up and faked a laugh.

With mixed feelings, she opened the door. Instantly, the warm air in the car enveloped her.

"Pfft, it's just too cold outside." Megan closed the door and leaned against the side of the car. She did not dare to cast another look at Jake.

She wasn't afraid of him but she was just strangely anxious in his presence. In order to hide her awkwardness, she pretended to get rid of the cold by blowing hot air into her hands.

"Is that so?" Jake casually glanced at Megan and saw that she was not dressed in a particularly thick coat. Hence, he removed his gloves and tossed them to her casually. "Here. Put them on."

The sight of the black gloves that were tossed to her stunned her slightly. She pursed her lips as if to suppress the surmounting feelings in her mind.

"I don't want them." Megan turned around to return the gloves to Jake, only to be greeted by a blurry figure concocted by the marrying of the night darkness and the cacophony of lights outside the window.
