Chapter 3328 Lunch With The Sponsor

Megan stared at their intimate gesture inside the mirror, and instantly her face blushed with shyness.

“Um…it’s nothing…”

She choked on her words while her hand paused from brushing her teeth. She abruptly rinsed her mouth and purposely reached for the towel to free herself from Jake’s hug.

Jake was not at all offended by her evasive behavior. On the contrary, he displayed a genuine smile as he had never felt this satisfied for years.

Leaning against the door, he asked gently, “Do you want me to accompany you there?”

Megan was stunned momentarily and then shook her head. “It’s fine. It’s a diner with the sponsor of Let’s Run, so all the production crew will be attending. I’m afraid it would be awkward if you tag along.”

Jake could not seem to comprehend what she meant. But the moment he lifted his head, he spotted the unyielding rejection in her eyes.

He nearly forgot that Megan really hated it when anyone interfered with her career.

Thus, Jake did not further insist on his offer. Even though he was slightly displeased, he chose to respect her decision.

It was almost noon when Jake sent Megan to the hotel’s lobby; then, he headed back to the company.

Gazing at the disappearing black Mercedes-Benz, Megan heaved a gasp as the reality at the moment seemed like a fantasy to her. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Who’d have thought that one day I would be so close with Jake? Is this a dream?

Her lips curled into a smile as she stepped joyously into the elevator.

The weather had begun to turn warm; hence, most of those who attended the lunch were dressed in flimsy spring wear. With that, Megan was wearing a floral suspender skirt with a tiny jacket, which made her look like a teenager from afar.

Before long, Megan reached the front of the private room mentioned by Donna. As she pushed the door open slowly, she was slightest startled by the big crowd in the room. Most of the crews were already there.

Silas was engaged in some conversation, but the second he noticed Megan stepping into the room, he quickly stood up and called her.

“Megan, over here! There’s a seat here!”

Silas’ loud voice overcame all the chatting noises in the room and reached Megan. Megan traced the origin of that voice and spotted Silas at the other end of the room.

“You look excited. Could it be that the sponsor has agreed to offer a good price?”

Megan’s adorable smile left Silas stunned momentarily.

He immediately collected himself and said, “I’m not sure about that, hence I won’t make any assumption yet. But I called you over to thank you on behalf of Jonas. That was a great help.”

Megan’s face stiffened the second she heard Jonas’ name. She swiftly disguised her uneasiness with a professional smile. “There’s no need to thank me. Speaking of which, has he found the next agency?”

Her question caught Silas off guard as he sat back against his chair with arms around his chest. “About this… I don’t think so. He did mention that Sky Entertainment approached him, but he rejected them.”

Both of them knew exactly the reason he rejected them. Megan let out a silent sigh as she had no more interest to stick her nose into this kind of matter.

Just when she wanted to speak, she noticed the entrance door opened once again. By that time, everyone’s attention had shifted towards the entrance.

“Hello, everyone. I’m not late, am I?”

A dark expression loomed over Megan’s face the second she spotted Anderson at the entrance. If I knew he’d be here, I would definitely bring Jake along.

Nevertheless, there was no way she could have possibly predicted this, as Anderson did not release this information to anyone. No one knew he was actually the sponsor behind this.

“You’re not late at all, Mr. Whittemore. Come, have a seat please.”

In no time, Jerry, the director of Let’s Run, approached to welcome Anderson with warmth while the entire crew was also smiling along courteously.
