Chapter 3231 Scripts

Megan bit her lip, resisting the compulsion to ask Jake what exactly he wanted to know about her. Lowering her eyes, Megan wondered to herself what Jake was planning to do next.

There's no point in knowing anyway! Megan thought to herself wryly. She had already laid her cards out on the table. It was up to Jake to make the next move.

Megan got out of Jake's Mercedes-Benz and walked slowly back to the house with a distraught look on her face. In her hands, she tightly clutched the plane tickets that Jake had given to her.

The moment Megan pushed open the door, Donna bolted over and clung onto Megan tightly.

Almost suffocated by the urgency with which Donna hung onto her, Megan breathlessly struggled for air.

"Donna! Are you determined to strangle me to death?" Megan gasped, panting.

Upon hearing Megan's pleas for help, Donna immediately let go of Megan. However, she proceeded to pummel Megan's shoulders, wailing hysterically, "I will! You didn't return any of my calls all night and I couldn't replace you anywhere! Do you know how worried I was?"

Megan froze. Recalling the previous night's events, a look of perturbation appeared on Megan's face. However, Megan wiped it off almost as quickly as it had appeared.

"Don't cry. Aren't I doing just fine now? I didn't return your calls because my phone battery depleted. We went barhopping last night and got a little tipsy with excitement," Megan soothed, dabbing at the tears rolling down Donna's cheeks. Gazing into Donna's eyes that were swollen with crying, Megan felt rather moved.

At least Megan knew that there was someone who truly cared for her. Her rather icy heart softened somewhat at that moment.

Resolutely, Megan vowed to herself that she would succeed not just for herself but for the sake of her fans and those who still loved and cared for her.

"OK, Megan... just let me know earlier in the future," Donna said helplessly as Megan pulled her over to the sofa to take a seat.

As Megan continued muttering words of reassurance to Donna, her eyes swept over the room. Megan's gaze landed on a stack of scripts littered over the table.

Recognition dawned upon Megan. Donna hadn't joined her last night because she'd been discussing upcoming scripts with producers and directors.

Even though Megan had been propelled to fame by her role in Transcendent, the popularity would diminish as the series ended. Megan would have to continually seek out roles to stay relevant and upgrade her acting skills.

"Are these scripts the ones that you've approved of?" Megan inquired eagerly of Donna.

Megan picked up the scripts and flipped through them. None of the names looked familiar to her, and Megan privately doubted the potential of these scripts to achieve wide acclaim.

"I haven't approved of them, exactly. I merely went to gather your options so you could decide if you wanted to feature in either high-profile or budget films," Donna explained.

Megan looked at Donna bemusedly, raising her eyebrows. Having honestly apprised her own skills and popularity, Megan didn't foresee herself ascending to any tremendous celebrity status. Both investors and directors alike had a keen nose for star appeal and would likely have already deduced that Megan's fame was not of the enduring sort.

Megan, however, did not want to dampen Donna's spirits. Curiously, she asked, "I'm interested. What's the highest sum per episode that you've been quoted?"

Seeing Megan's interest, Donna, too, flipped through her notebook passionately and showed Megan her negotiations. "Take a look. The highest offer comes from a variety show called Let's Run! They've taken a great interest in you and are proposing to pay you two hundred thousand per episode."

Two hundred thousand would have sounded luxurious in most other occupations, but it constituted a measly offer for an actress.

Fortunately, Megan did not belong to any agency and was free to accept any jobs she pleased.

Agreeably, Megan replied, "OK, let's do it then."

Donna hesitated. She nudged another script forward, then said uncertainly, "Why not do the television series? Audiences aren't that interested in variety shows nowadays."
