Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 3264

Chapter 3264 Warning

Exasperated, Megan crouched down and sighed. However, when she lowered her head, she spotted an unknown letter embroidered in red on her chest.

She froze. Immediately, she thought, This must be Jake's label.

A chill ran down her spine, and she wailed, "Oh my god, why did you gift your tailor-made clothes to someone else?"

It seemed like Jake still did not know what was going on. He was confused as to why Megan was saying that. In fact, he thought she was expressing her dismay over his gifts. Hence, he snapped, "Are you telling me you don't like your gift?"

Megan sighed again before rising to her feet. "It's not that I don't like it, but that Osmond recognized your tracksuit. I'm in an audition right now. If he can recognize it, don't you think the directors would recognize it too?"

Jake was a business owner who seemed more like a celebrity than his employees, so it was normal for others in the industry to put him on a pedestal. Their attention on him was to the point they would even know which brand of toilet paper he used, not to mention the clothes he had.

"Is there anything bad about that?" Jake could not comprehend why Megan was frustrated as he thought that was nothing unusual.

What's wrong with my woman wearing my tailor-made clothes?

Megan groaned upon hearing his reply. Then, she gritted out, "I don't want others to think that I pulled strings to get to where I am. I don't want to rely on anyone."

After hearing her response, Jake fell silent for a moment. There's nothing wrong with her answer, but why am I so annoyed by it?

Right then, he realized why. In a glacial voice, he questioned, "You don't want anyone to replace out about us?"

"Yes."

Megan's reply had come instantaneously. Jake's grip on his phone tightened, and he threw the pen he had been fidgeting with on the table.

His voice was filled with frustration and dissatisfaction when he said, "So that's what you think. I never wanted to hide you from the public, but you want to hide me from others."

From the very start, the two had unequal status and fame. Technically, Jake should be the one who would be embarrassed to have an ordinary woman by his side.

However, Megan felt that her efforts would go to waste if others were to assume that she was successful only because of her connections instead of her talents.

In her new life, she did not want to become a caretaker for someone else, and neither did she want to be so miserably in love. She hated herself for how she had to rely on Herman to give her hope for her future.

If she had done her best and found out about Herman's true color, things would not have turned out the way they had.

"Yes. I don't want anyone to know about our relationship. I don't want them to focus on you instead of me when I'm trying my best."

It was not that Jake could not understand what she was telling him. However, he could not help but think, Is something as abstract as that more important than our relationship?

He never went through what Megan had to. The differences in their life experience only made the gap widen between the two.

"If that's what you insist on that thought, then I have no words for you. I'm already displaying immense tolerance for your actions, and I hope you won't test my patience anymore."

It was an emotionless warning from Jake. When he said those words, the feelings of frustration filled him to the brim.

To him, Megan was spoiled. She thought too highly of herself, while she had underestimated the others.

In the entertainment industry, no one could survive without someone else's help. Even if Megan were to see the top of the pyramid, she would never reach it if she were to walk the path alone.
