Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 3259

Chapter 3259 A Promise

Megan slowly rose to her feet with a hand supporting her sore back. The first things she saw were the messy clothes on the ground.

A blush crept onto her face before she paled. Upon realizing she had relented in the morning, awkwardness surged into her chest. Yet, she knew how tough it was for her to escape Jake's charm. Picking up the clothes from the ground, Megan patted her face, trying to calm herself. However, the embarrassment still flooded whenever she thought about having to see Jake later. Knock, knock.

Just as Megan was lost in her thoughts, someone knocked on the room's door. Coming back to her senses, she quickly opened it.

"You're awake?"

It was none other than the person Megan did not want to see-Jake.

For a moment, she stood transfixed. Once she recollected herself, she promptly tried to shut the door.

However, Jake was swifter than she was. He stopped the door and squeezed through the gap into the room.

"The car is just downstairs. Don't mess around anymore. It's time to leave." Jake then held Megan's hand, not a trace of embarrassment to be found on his face. It was as though nothing had happened in the morning.

However, that was something Megan could not do.

She tried to retract her hand from his as a blush crawled onto her face again. Fortunately, the weather was cold, and it quickly cooled down her face that was burning up. "Are you that stubborn about this?"

When Jake skidded to a stop, Megan nearly crashed onto his back.

For a moment, she only blinked at him. Then, she hid her face in her scarf.

"I'm not used to it."

Her stiff but upset tone made Jake lift a brow. That day, she had been wild, and she did not even look embarrassed the morning after. It's tough to figure women out.

He sighed, a look of amused exasperation in his eyes.

After shaking his head, he then placed Megan's hand into his pocket before slowing down to walk beside her.

As his hand held onto hers, a gentle look crept onto his face.

"It's okay. You'll get used to it soon."

Those words sounded like he was teasing her; yet, it sounded like he was giving her a promise. They made Megan freeze in her tracks. As she turned to look at him, warmth seeped into her heart.

A while later, the two bid farewell to the director and Abigail. After that, they entered the car parked at the entrance, about to head to the airport.

As the day before had been hectic, Jake had to take the bus to her village. The entire time, he kept complaining about the ride. Thus, he had called his secretary to send him to the airport.

After dozens of hours of flying, Megan finally returned to the city of her dreams. The moment her foot stepped onto the land, she thought of Mia and Herman. Those thoughts crashed toward her like waves in a storm, trying to drown her in them.

On the other hand, the things that happened at Queenston Village felt like a dream. It had been surreal.

"What's the matter? You seem preoccupied."

Upon entering the car, Jake began dealing with the documents and work he had neglected for the past few days. When he glanced at Megan, he realized she was staring out of the window in a daze. "Nothing much. I'm just thinking about my upcoming work," came Megan's half-hearted reply.

Then, she concealed the anxious expression she had and plastered a smile on.

Jake, who had been looking at the screen, did not realize the changes in her expression. When he heard her mention her work, his typing motions halted, and he lifted his head to look at her. "What jobs will you be taking next? If you're not doing any programs, you're always welcomed at Sky Entertainment."

It was not the first time he had invited Megan. However, she did not wish to go there. Having lived a life before, she knew that her life would not be terrible even without joining a talent agency. "If I need it in the future, I'll come and see you. Now that I've been in Transcendent, I've gained a little popularity."
