The Mastermind Behind The Scenes
Jonas’ car eventually arrived at Megan’s address. Due to multiple reasons, he wasn’t able to send her
to her door, watching her walk up the stairs and driving off as soon as he’d made sure that she was
inside.
Megan was reaching out to turn the knob on her apartment door when Donna suddenly opened it up
from the inside, startling her.
She just took a look at Donna’s expression to figure out that something must have happened.
She changed into a pair of house slippers and pulled Donna to sit on the couch. Her friend’s
anxiousness and fidgety mood were starting to affect her as well. “Why do you look so grim?”
“Luna called,” Donna gulped. Her usual bubbly, cheerfulness was nowhere to be found.
Megan frowned at the mere mention of Luna. “What did she say?”
Donna opened and closed her mouth several times, seemingly racking her brain for the right words to
construct her sentence before mumbling out, “She said that your contract with Starling Media hasn’t
ended yet, so you’re technically still working under them, even if you’ve already decided not to renew
your contract. She wants to schedule a job for you.”
“A job?” Megan’s eyes widened for a brief second before she let out a harsh scoff. “There’s no way
she’d be so kind. Go on. I want to know what tricks she has up her sleeve.”
Her tone was so icily cold that Donna wondered if the temperature in the room had dropped several
degrees.
Luna hadn’t stopped Megan when she first left Starling Media, but now she was trying to force her to go
back by holding her contract over her head!
Donna sounded apprehensive as she went on to say, “You’re going to be filming a commercial. Mia is
the main character, while you got the supporting role.”
That pissed Megan off. She immediately jumped up from her seat, rage flaring up as she exclaimed, “Is
it the kind of supporting role that gets to kill off the main character? Because if it isn’t, then I’m not
doing it!”
Donna had expected this.
It was a shame. This would have been a good opportunity for Megan if it weren’t for the ongoing feud
between her and her co-star.
“Of course, there isn’t. It’s a commercial for a milk brand, and they’ve scripted up some pure, ‘first love’
story that takes place in a high school. You know, the kind of story that Mia is best suited for…”
Donna stood up and tried to rub Megan’s back comfortingly in an attempt to get her to calm down.
Luna was clearly just treating her like a toy; picking her up when she was in the mood to entertain her,
and throwing her away when she felt like it.
Megan’s jaw clenched tightly. With the knowledge that she had to go to the filming, she forced herself
to take a few deep breaths and reorganize her thoughts. Her mind now clear, she suddenly realized
something.
This decision couldn’t have solely been Luna’s idea. Mia had to be the puppeteer behind this whole
mess!
“Did Luna tell you who the male lead is?” Megan plopped back down onto the sofa, schooling her
expression into a mask of calm and serenity.
“It’s Jonas,” Donna sighed. “Arguably the most maddening thing about the script is that your character
was described as ‘the ugly girl’…”
Wow, “the ugly girl”.
Megan now had absolutely no doubt that this was all Mia’s doing.
Mia was trying to use Megan’s supposed “ugliness” to complement her own “beauty”.
“I gotta give Mia props for the creative idea,” Megan laughed out loud. “Even if she wants to see me
look bad on purpose, I won’t give her that chance.”
“Does that mean you won’t go?” Donna’s mouth fell open, all the color draining from her face as she
clutched onto Megan’s sleeve. “The contract states clearly that you have to attend all work events that Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Starling Media tells you to, or else you’ll be breaching the terms of the contract! We can’t afford to pay
the compensation for breaching the contract!”
“Relax, I’m going,” Megan forced a smile. Deep within her heart, her hatred for Mia worsened even
further.
