Never Late, Never Away

Chapter 3175 

She remembered that the director of this commercial was notorious for his bad temper.

"I'm just trying to make a living.Surely that's not a problem to you, right?"

All eyes were on the two as they faced off.

Gossip abounded, though no one stepped forward to defuse the tension. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Some of the staff wanted to seek out the director, who was unfortunately indisposed at the washroom at that very moment.

"This is my commercial! Get out of my sight!"

Mia's head was in a mess since the news about her having a meal with Jake had been reported by the tabloids.

Osmond had already refused to assign any work to her for the next month as a punishment.

She was, however, more worried that Jake would stay away from her as a result.

Jake was supposed to be on-site, supervising her very first shoot after she signed an exclusive contract with Sky Entertainment.

His absence only served to fuel Mia's anxiousness.

Instead, Megan had shown up at such a crucial moment.

"I thought this was a commercial under the Wilson Group"

Megan commented as she surveyed her surroundings.She did not meet Mia's gaze.Her intention was to provoke Mia.

No matter what happens, this stupid woman is the one who has to bear the consequences.

In the middle of their stand-off, Mia's gaze suddenly drifted past Megan's shoulder, landing on a figure behind her.

With that, Megan turned around and her chest felt heavy at the sight of Jake.

Jake had not noticed their stand-off as he entered the filming set.

When the staff turned to look at Jake, Megan suddenly fell to the floor, knocking over a chair beside her.

The noise surprised the staff, who had all been busy greeting their boss.

Instantly, all eyes turned to Megan.

"I don't want to leave! Mia, why must you force me like this? Will you only be happy when I'm married off to some stranger in Queenston Village?"

Megan's shrill screams caused goosebumps to break out over everyone's skin.

They then turned to stare suspiciously at Mia.

The commotion caught Jake's attention.He looked at Mia in displeasure from across the filming set, striding steadily toward her.

"Mia, what are you doing?"

Frowning slightly, Jake awaited an explanation from a pale-faced Mia.Mia shuddered in the face of Jake's hostile demeanor.

Feeling helpless, she lowered her head and said timidly, "I-l, I didn't do anything."

The crowd broke out into hushed whispers at her words of defense.

Jake took in everything that they said.

Crossing his arms, he recalled the scandal that had been reported in the tabloids earlier.

Disgust rose within him as he appraised the woman before him.

"You should be saying that to your manager"

Others know better than me about how to strike Mia's weak point.He had no interest in getting involved in such matters.He was more interested in the woman who lay sprawled on the ground, who had uttered the name of a place he had almost forgotten.

"You know about Queenston Village?" Jake questioned Megan calmly.

His calm response had not escaped Megan's notice.

Lowering her head, she tried to calm her pounding heartbeat.

She forced herself to remember the lines she had prepared.

"Yes, I do.I used to live in its neighboring village.I passed by Queenston Village all the time."

Mia noticed Jake's interest in the village as well.

In an attempt to gain his favor, she piqued up, "I know about it too.It's a neighboring village near my hometown"

"Shut it"

Jake did not want to listen to Mia's voice.He glared at her for a moment before returning his attention to Megan.

"Since you know about Queenston Village, are you aware of any special buildings in that area?"
