Never Late, Never Away

Chapter 3189

Megan recalled Steven's promise, stating that there wouldn't be any more odd incidents.

Although she still felt uneasy, she had let her guard down significantly.

At five o'clock in the evening, the launch event for Transcendent finally commenced.

After Megan and the other lead actors greeted the media, the sound of the camera shutters clicking assaulted her ears.

Jonas and Megan were the two most photographed celebrities out of the bunch.

After all, they were both involved in a scandal.

After the launch event started, everyone present was led through the program by the host.

Half an hour later, it was finally time for the Q&A session.

Truth be told, Megan was not willing to reveal too much in front of these people, but the usual practice of every press conference would not change merely because of her mood.

"Okay.The one in the yellow shirt on the third row.You may ask a question."

The host randomly picked a reporter, who upon standing up, stared straight at Megan.

It was apparent that his question would be directed at her.

"Ms.Rockford, I'd like to ask you a question.How does it feel to work with Mr.Wulff for the first time?"

Megan stiffened slightly upon being asked this question.

There were so many people on stage, but he just had to shine the spotlight onto the one who was a singer.

"I'm really sorry, but Mr.Wulff and I have different professions, so we can't be considered to have worked together"

Megan brushed off the question with a few simple words and discreetly rolled her eyes.

Too many bad things had happened recently and her patience was really running out.

Instantly sensing the tension, the host raised his gaze just in time to glimpse the irritated look on Megan's face.

Then, he wisely told the reporter to sit back down before swiftly picking another reporter to ask the next question.

However, the next reporter who was chosen wasn't any better than the last.His question wasn't directed at Megan, but at Jonas instead.

"Mr.Wulff, the lyrics of this song seem to resonate with the villain princess in the film.May I ask if you'd seek Ms.Rockford's guidance when you sing this song?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this cleverly constructed question.

The reporter seemed to be asking about the film but was in fact digging for information.

However, this kind of behavior was very likely to get him blacklisted forever.

Meaning to say, he would probably never be invited to conduct interviews on any of the shows invested by this company.

The reporter who was chosen did not seem to realize this.

Upon seeing that Jonas had no intention to answer, he wanted to repeat his question.

However, the curtains behind the row of actors were abruptly pulled open.

The next second, a deep and cold voice reverberated through the entire venue like a bolt of lightning, shocking everyone present.

"If you really want to know, you might as well ask me directly."

Jake stood tall and imposing on the stage, inevitably drawing everyone's attention to him.

In an instant, the temperature at the venue seemed to plummet.

The reporter who asked that question blanched in horror, clearly recognizing Jake as he stammered, "Mr.Wilson..."

However, he couldn't seem to construct a proper sentence.

Jake's eyes darkened and he glanced toward Megan with an unreadable expression.

Even though Megan had her back to him, she could feel the weight of his gaze, and it sent a tingling sensation through her entire body.

Seemingly pleased by Megan's nervous reaction, Jake stuffed one hand into his trouser pocket and pressed his lips together before silently walking to the spot behind her.

Then, he placed a broad palm on her shoulder like it was the most natural thing to do.

This gesture coupled with Jake's expressionless face looked very much like a warning to her in the audience's eyes.

However, Megan felt differently.

Instead of feeling afraid, the warmth from his palm caused goosebumps all over her body, and her heart started beating wildly in her chest.

Since when are Jake and I that close? She was still wary of him.

Thus, his overly warm gesture was bound to arouse further suspicion.

"Both Megan Rockford and Jonas Wulff are actors sponsored by us.

I believe all of you are professional reporters, so act the part and don't ask unnecessary questions."

Through the thin fabric, Jake could feel Megan's tense body.

The inexplicable displeasure which had slithered into his heart earlier finally dissipated slightly. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

He withdrew his hand and scanned the room of reporters with an impassive expression, issuing the final warning.
