Never Late, Never Away

Chapter 3217 Watch What You Say

Seems like Anderson was so rich she would do anything to get close to him.

“Give it to Megan.” Instead of accepting Melissa’s glass, he pointed at Megan expressionlessly with the clear intention to teach her a lesson.

Megan was not afraid. In her past life, she could hold her drinks very well, but she did not have a high tolerance right now.

“Mr. Whittemore, Megan is still young. Let’s not have her drink such strong spirits. She can just have some juice.” Steven saw everything and tried to help her out. Megan was his potential breakout star after all.

However, there was no changing of Anderson’s mind. Without any hesitation, he shook his hand while his eyes hinted at an impending storm.

“She gained popularity because of my drama series, and she can’t even have a drink with me? How dare she disrespect me like that?”

With that, everyone’s faces turned pale. Anderson’s words had distinctly insulted the entire entertainment industry. Involuntarily, they glanced at Megan who looked like she was unmoved.

Why is she so unaffected?

Jonas looked at Megan. Even though she was being questioned and judged, she still sat there quietly and remained calm.

Just like the way she was towards him, there was no way of telling how she felt at all.

If he could control his own emotions, he really did not want to pay her any attention at all.

“If you insist, Mr. Whittemore, I’ll drink on her behalf.”

Jonas recollected his thoughts, adjusted his suit, and stood up from his seat. The lights fell on his clean and handsome face while his muscular figure was particularly eye-catching. Everyone’s eyes fell on him instantly.

Megan could not help but look at him as well. Apart from shock, she felt rather conflicted.

She had already worked so hard to maintain a distance between them, and all she wanted was to be friends with him. However, Jonas kept shielding her without any reservation.

This made her feel that perhaps he wanted to be more than friends.

“It’s alright, I’ll do it myself.”

Megan was already used to handling this kind of situation in her previous life—those old men would try to get her drunk in order to touch her.

Now that these scenes were replaying before her, she could feel the disgust rising within her but she did not want to owe Jonas a favor either.

“Fantastic. I like straightforward people like you, Megan.”

Anderson found the little interaction between them interesting. Hence, he put on a fake smile.

Every single person in the room knew what was in his mind, but since even Steven could not stop him, no one would be able to do so.

However, they could not understand why Megan wanted to stop Jonas from helping her.

“Megan, this is a drink with high alcohol content. You will pass out from a sip, let alone a glass!” Jonas did not want to see Megan fall into the trap so he reminded her with a low voice. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, this merely brought about Anderson’s warning. “Jonas, watch what you say. Unless you think that your career path has been too long.” Anderson glared at him with daggers in his eyes.

Every single word was a warning to him to stop talking.

Jonas could not completely ignore him as he was a shareholder at Sky Entertainment. He frowned and clenched his fists with an angry yet helpless face. All he could do was to thump the table.

Megan saw everything. She looked down and thought about all that Jonas had done for her and felt guiltier than ever.

If she had not provoked him in the first place, this innocent and wonderful person would not have come to mankind.

He should be an angel in heaven.

Her mind was in a mess but there was still a tense situation before her. She put her thoughts away and sniggered at Anderson, “Mr. Whittemore, let’s not make things difficult for the top male artist of your company, shall we? I am sure you and Mr. Wilson will want him to print more money for you, so I’ll just finish this glass.”
