Never Late, Never Away

Chapter 3113

That was why Megan worked so hard to take advantage of this opportunity.

After the threat to Megan, Garret shot her a fierce glare and turned away.

The fan-favorite Mia glared at her sister when Felix took her side in telling Garret off.

Her stare seemed to say "If you're going to fight with me over this, I'm going to give you hell for it."

Indeed, Mia was capable of such an act.

Was it not due to her contribution that had resulted in Megan's death in her previous life? Garret was not going to condone something that made Megan happy.

Her grip on the woman grew tighter; she meant to drag Megan home when nobody was watching.

"Mom, you're hurting me."

Megan waited until the director called for silence to cry out.

At once, every head turned to look at them.

Garret, however, was still determined.

"My apologies for this silly girl bothering you," she said with a warning glare at Megan.

Felix suddenly remembered Megan being a fine first choice.

"Young lady" he called.

"Why don't you join us as well?" Mia was angry, while Megan felt suddenly in control of the whole situation.

"Sir, are you referring to me?" she asked Felix innocently.

The crowd, who still bore some residual fear, slowly dispersed.

Megan walked toward them with Mia's soaked jacket in her hand, but it was soon snatched away by Garret.

"Yes, you! Young lady, your role in this commercial would be to splash water onto your sister. It's not difficult"

"Yes, yes. I can do that"

Mia's face turned an ugly shade of green at Megan's involvement in the commercial. She did not expect her final opportunity for stardom to be robbed from her just like that.

However, Mia couldn't help but notice Megan not appearing happy at being selected as one would expect.

Rather, she looked as if she was waiting for something.

In Megan's previous life, she had indeed been chosen by Felix.

However, she did not make it into the final cut.

Felix dismissed the other girls.

At that moment, a man clad in a smart suit emerged from the crew.

"Mr.Woods, we prefer this other girl."

He pointed at Mia.

"Mr.Woods, I can do better than my sister" she said in her coyest voice, a tactic which had never failed her.

The man in the suit, an investor, fixed his greedy eyes onto Mia's body.He gulped at the sight of Mia's beautiful face.

The other members of the crew felt differently about Mia, especially Felix.

To them, Megan's maturity was much preferable and pleasant than Mia's beauty.

When they were having their make-up done, Mia kept ordering the make-up artist to do things her way, without a trace of the humility a village girl ought to have.

On the other hand, Megan closed her eyes and surrendered herself to the make-up artist's judgment.

The entire process went smooth and swift for Megan.

Felix glanced at Mia bossing the make-up artist around and shook his head.

The star of the commercial he had in mind was Megan, but the investor had chosen Mia against his wishes.

Rather than let a talent like Megan go to waste, he had opted to cast them both.

In that way, he managed to appease the investor, and at the same time, achieve his artistic ideal.

The crew began setting up in accordance with Felix's instructions.

"Come! The two of you, stand in the water. I want you to splash water onto each other!"

The crew quickly led Megan and Mia to the riverbank.

Megan dived right in, while the latter hesitated. She glared fiercely at Megan; she was worried that Megan would ruin her freshly done make-up.

Whatever it was, Mia was here to be in the commercial.

If she didn't follow orders, she wouldn't be in the shoot at all.

Megan could tell exactly what Mia was thinking.

In a fit of inspiration, Megan called out, "Mia, if you're afraid of getting dirty, you could ask for a body double," she said with a playful laugh.

"I've heard that movie stars often had body doubles!"

At that suggestion, Mia's eyes lit up.

Of course I would use a body double. I'm the female lead, after ail! She spun around.

"Mr.Woods" she called out loudly.

"If I'm going to be splashing around in the water, I'm afraid my make- up will be ruined. Let my body double do it!"
