Never Late, Never Away

Chapter 3201

Take Your Positions

Megan, although still perplexed, could tell that Jonas didn’t want to elaborate any further on the subject.

So, she chose not to push it. Now that she was coming off of the adrenaline, the guilt was starting to creep up on her upon realizing that her words may have sounded much crueler than intended.

Keeping their worries and burdens to themselves, they both returned to the set. The make-up artist helped touch up Megan’s makeup and effectively make her look much uglier than she actually was.

“Wow. You look hideous.”

Mia seemed to have completely forgotten about the incident at the dressing room, staying a good distance away from Megan as she hurled insults at her.

Megan, once again, ignored her. After all, she’d only gotten mad at the dressing room because Mia had made the first move and laid her filthy hands on her.

Furthermore, she knew that Mia was just being petty and jealous because Mia had spotted her and Jonas walking back to the set together.

“Watch your mouth, Mia,” Osmond quietly reminded her, unknowingly incurring Mia’s dissatisfaction.

She’d initially been over the moon thinking that Megan would be sad because she was leaving Starling Media, and had come up with the brilliant idea to humiliate Megan by casting her as “the ugly girl” while she played the gorgeous female lead.

But what pissed Mia off was that Jake and Jonas were treating Megan much better than they were treating her!

I’m the one who deserves everything good in the world! Some plain-looking b*tch has no right to snatch away everything that belongs to me!

“I don’t care!”

Mia glared venomously at Megan, who seemed to be secretly enjoying herself, before stomping off towards the film set.

No one took notice of a black Mercedes-Benz parked nearby, its passenger silently watching everything from afar.

“We’re starting soon! Everyone take your places!” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

The cast and crew all swiftly got into their positions. Jonas and Mia were both holding a glass of milk each as they stared deeply into each other’s eyes, while Megan was stationed in the background as she spied on them from afar.

Megan had briefly skimmed through the script before arriving on set. To put it simply, she was playing the role of an unattractive girl who had a crush on the most handsome guy in school. After drinking the same brand of milk as him, she unexpectedly struck up a conversation with him.

From the perspective of the “Megan” from seven years in the future, she couldn’t believe that an advertisement with a plotline this bad would have gotten the green light.

“Mia, you’re leaning in too close to Jonas! Remember, you’re playing a shy high-schooler with some dignity and self-respect!”

The director finally lost his patience after having to watch take after take of Mia acting needy and clingy through the camera lens. The filming session had already been interrupted several times before this due to Mia’s having all kinds of problems.

Mia, the spoilt brat that she was, had already been in a sour mood that worsened even further when the director scolded her in front of so many people, and in such a humiliating way too.

Seeing red, she got up and walked right over, shoving his film camera and sending it crashing to the ground.

“Don’t think that you have the power to order me around just because you’re the director!”

Everyone’s jaw dropped. Megan’s eyes widened; she hadn’t expected Mia to be so spoilt by Starling Media that she would dare to pull something like this.

“What the hell are you doing, Mia?”

Osmond and the director shouted simultaneously. Their combined volume startled Mia, and she held her hands up to cover her open mouth as if only now realizing what she had just done.

Unfortunately for her, the film camera was already shattered into pieces all over the floor. There was no taking back what she’d done.

“You’re mighty proud for a lowly actress who has only filmed a few commercials in her entire career! I’m going to tell all of my fellow directors to never hire you ever again!” The director roared, pointing his finger right in Mia’s pale face. Osmond looked like he was about to be sick.

Megan was nearly giddy from sheer glee. She needed to thank Jonas for letting her witness this mess; Mia would have never gotten distracted like that if it weren’t for him.

Mia’s mind had to have been occupied by fears of Megan herself stealing Jonas away, just like how Megan was afraid that Mia would steal Jake away.
