Chapter 3357 Falling Asleep

Jake's mind was too befuddled for him to ponder about the meaning behind her words. After stating his request, he clutched Megan's hands tightly before closing his eyes and fell into a deep slumber.

A still squatting Megan grimaced when she saw how easily he fell asleep. There was a hint of exasperation in her face that was contorted in anger.

By now, she had realized how willful and whiny Jake was when he was ill. Alas, she was a sucker for that. Seeing how weak he was, she couldn't bring herself to yell at him even though it was unbearable. As she couldn't leave, she sat down calmly and started scrolling on her phone by his side.

After some time, the sky gradually turned dark outside. Occasional footsteps sounded outside the office, so Megan glanced at her watch and realized it was time for the employees at Sky Entertainment to get off work.

She pocketed her phone. Her hand that was gripped by Jake was numb by now. Megan glanced at the sleeping man, who looked like an innocent angel, his long lashes casting a shadow underneath his eyes. Looks like he won't wake up for now. Megan pouted unhappily and began poking his cheek, bored out of her mind. She scanned his sculpted features and mused silently, He's perfect. God must've favored him a lot to allow him to be born in this world.

Unlike me, who was abandoned by God in my past life.

Megan was lost in her thoughts and didn't even realize the man had already woken up.

"What are you thinking about?"

Jake seemed a little worn out, but he was faring much better now.

When he opened his eyes to see Megan staring at him, her thoughts obviously somewhere else, he reached out to pinch her fluffy cheek.

"Mm?" Megan blinked and snapped out of her reverie. Oh? He's awake?

She heaved a sigh of relief, for she could finally free herself from his grasp. Feeling the numbness in her arm, she let out a wail. "Ah, you're finally awake. People are getting off work. If you wake up any later, I would've missed dinner."

Jake glanced out the window and sat up as he massaged his temples. He still felt a little drowsy, but he was already feeling much better.

Megan was massaging her shoulder, so Jake took her arm and kneaded her shoulders slowly. Exhaustion shone in his gaze as he said, "Let's have dinner together. By the way, why did you come to my company today? You were usually afraid of others mistaking our relationship."

Megan flashed an embarrassed smile as she studied his expression.

After a brief hesitation, she revealed her reason for coming here. "I'm here to ask about the casting for The Royal Wife. During the audition, the director said my resume was handed to him at the very last minute. I was thinking it was you who did that."

Jake glanced at her and pursed his lips before answering, "Yep, that was me. I only recommended your name so you'd get to attend the audition, but it's up to you whether you get picked or not. Why? Are you here to blame me?"

Megan listened to his explanation patiently and shook her head. She wasn't thinking of blaming him.

Pouting, she replied, "Why would I blame you? I should thank you instead. Without your recommendation, I wouldn't even get to attend the audition. Besides, the director promised to pick me if he can't replace a more suitable candidate."

Jake raised his brow upon hearing her answer. With a light chuckle, he said, "You're such an unpredictable person. Does that mean you have a fifty percent chance of being selected as the female lead? Should I congratulate you in advance?"
