Chapter 3335 Inexplicable Awkwardness

The simple headline was clear and understandable but did not catch Megan’s interest, for she had never been interested in social news.

However, just as she was about to close the tab, she realized that the picture attached was one of Anderson.

She widened her eyes in disbelief and rubbed them again, unable to believe that the same person who had kneeled in humiliation just the day before had been arrested the very next day.

After she calmed down, she pondered for a while about it. This can’t be a coincidence. Jake must have done something yesterday. Otherwise, Mr. Whittemore wouldn’t have been arrested for such a crime.

That thought brought a chill down her spine. Mr. Whittemore got such an outcome just for offending Jake. If he finds out that I cheated his feelings, wouldn’t it be worse for me?

Suddenly, she felt that being sold off to Alendor was a good way to deal with the situation. At least then, she would still be alive.

After a restless morning, she planned to go out to buy something when she received a call from Donna, who said that season two of Love In Progress was about to start filming.

Since she had only managed to rest for a day before she had to start work again, Megan was resistant to the news. After all, the issue with Jonas had already almost ended. As such, if they continue filming, both of them were going to be completely exposed.

However, even if she did not want to go, she still had to. Since it was written in her contract, she had to adhere to the agreement.

Perhaps it was because the previous season’s ratings were too low that the production team had cut down on their activity expenses. This time, each person only had three thousand. Thus, they picked a day where plane ticket prices were lower and headed off to the filming site.

There was an inexplicable air of awkwardness between Megan and Jonas when they met again. They did not speak to each other, and it was as if there was a thick wall separating them into two different worlds.

“The weather’s not bad today.”

After sleeping on the plane all the way, the pair finally landed in H City, and the first sentence shared between them was a very plain comment. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The crew looked at the pair standing far away from each other and shook their heads. Megan and Jonas did not look remotely in love. Instead, they seemed like an old couple sitting by the roadside, basking in the sun as they said boring things to each other.

Because the director no longer held any expectations for them, he only sent around two cameras over to film them and did not even turn up in person.

Awkwardly, Megan and Jonas sat in silence in the backseat of the car. They were headed for the house that the production crew had already prepared.

As there were cuts in their funding this time, the place was not as luxurious as the one they had in Horington.

Not long later, the car turned into a small alley and stopped at the door of a small yard. Everyone got off and put the equipment down inside, then began to prepare for the show.

Megan had wanted to carry her own suitcase up the high doorstep at the gates. However, her bags were too heavy, and she did not have enough strength.

“Here, let me do it,” said Jonas. He had seen her struggle and walked forward a few steps, reaching out for her bags.

Noticing his actions, she subconsciously leaned over to the side. It was only after a while did she realize that his arm had stopped mid-air, and he had a wry smile on his face.

She blinked, seemingly realizing something before she quickly pushed the suitcase over to him and smiled awkwardly. “Sure. I’ll leave it to you then. Guys are stronger, after all.”

Although she tried her best to feign nonchalance, her estranged actions undoubtedly hurt him.

She bit her lip as she gazed into his dark eyes hidden by his fringe. She could not help but step forward and explain herself, “I’m sorry, I just subconsciously…”

“It’s fine,” Jonas interrupted, calmly looking her in the eye as he suppressed his emotions. Megan’s delicate, radiant face was reflected in his eyes.
