Chapter 3327 White Lie
At that moment, he was trying hard to trace down his memory. However, the only time he could recall
was when Sky Entertainment was discussing a deal with Mia; he discovered Herman standing outside
for the entire time.
Why would Megan be curious about this kind of C-list celebrity?
“I’ve heard of him, and I know he’s some C-list celebrity. Honestly, I’m not interested in someone at the
bottom of the industry.”
There was no emotion on Jake’s face. As Megan observed his composed eyes closely, her clenched
fist began to loosen.
For that instant, his answer acted like a stimulant for her, as all of her worries instantly faded away.
Even though it was too soon to assume what would happen in the future, but at present, that was all
she needed to know.
All of the changes in her emotion were caught by Jake in one glance.
“Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden?”
Jake was obviously not the type that kept his doubts in mind. As he spotted Megan seemed to have
something weighing over her mind, he could not hold back his curiosity.
Clearly, Megan had expected to be questioned, as her expression seemed extremely calm. She did not
rush to answer, as she took a plate and walked over to get some food for both of them.
Under the silent atmosphere, Megan’s back figure seemed extraordinarily fragile. Jake could not take
his eyes off her while patiently anticipating her response.
“You wouldn’t believe this, but Herman came to find me and wanted to borrow some money from me. I
wasn’t sure what happened to him, but he was wearing some tattered old clothes.”
Megan returned to the table with a plate full of food, while her eyes seemed utterly troubled as she was
pondering what to say next.
“Initially, I didn’t want to lend him the money, but he said that he was close with you and Mia. I failed to
recognize his true motive at the moment, so I ended up giving him one thousand and sent him for Mia.”
While she was exaggerating her encounter with Herman, there was not a single trace of nervousness
on her face.
Jake furrowed his brows as he sensed something was amiss; yet, he failed to detect why.
He started eating while trying to clear his thoughts. “Is it? Just ignore them the next time you come
across someone like this. Remember that I don’t befriend beggars. As for Mia, since when do you treat
her as your own sister? If not, then there would no need to for you care for her friends, would there?”
Jake had read through the relationship between Megan and Mia perfectly. Their conflicts went all the
way back. Thus, it was hardly possible for them to call a truce overnight.
Megan was impressed by Herman’s judgment as she let out a smile. “You’ve read me like an open
book, but don’t worry. I don’t think Herman would ever come to find me again. I have sent him over to
Mia, so there will no longer be any reason for him to approach me.”
Under the dim light, Jake thought he caught a flash of cold expression in her eyes. But just when he
narrowed his eyes to observe her, her eyes turned calm and joyous once again.
Is she telling the truth? Even though Jake could not think of any apparent reason, he had a feeling that
Megan was hiding a huge secret. As he continued to eat from his plate, his mind was at a loss.
After a short while, both of them finished their dinner without much conservation. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
They chatted a little more on the couch before exhaustion and jetlag caught on Jake. After that, he
went into the washroom for a quick shower before heading to bed.
Megan was initially reluctant to sleep with him as the night was still early, but she eventually failed to
escape his domineering tactics.
The next morning, Megan woke up with a sore all over her body. When she was freshening up, a call
came in from Donna. She responded curtly and hung up the phone.
“Why’re you in such a hurry?”
Without Megan noticing, Jake appeared from behind and naturally wrapped his arms around her waist.
