A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 3268

Chapter 3268 No Courage To Find Out

“Oh, Mia. Stop it with your act. You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

Hearing that, some of their jaws dropped. Why would Mia do such a thing? One was a rising star while the other was a hot topic these days. Furthermore, they were step-siblings with the same dad. Despite looking very different, they were still family. To most of the people there, Mia’s attack motive was almost non existential.

That was, everyone except the director and Osmond.

In reality, this audition was just for show. Right from the start, Osmond and the director were already in cahoots to choose Mia. Everything was going as planned until Osmond chanced upon Megan in the corridor, wearing Jake’s tailor-made tracksuit. He questioned the director but the latter denied having any contact with Jake.

Jake’s passiveness towards Megan’s career confused Osmond. Meanwhile, the director was conflicted between choosing Megan or Mia. After a long discussion, they agreed to stick with the original plan. For the most part, they were worried Mia might resort to extreme methods if she lost her role to Megan. That was the nature of their strained relationship.

Besides, Jake did not say anything. They were guessing either Megan was not serious about this program, or he did not love her enough. In this ambiguous situation, Mia was the more favorable option. That was also the reason why she wore her heels boldly. She simply could not be bothered to go along with this audition.

Osmond instructed, “Since you created this mess, clean it up yourself. Until then, no more acting.” He studied her reaction, but her obsidian eyes remained unfathomable.

The silver lining was, Mia had gotten better at cleaning her mess. She was no longer easy prey for Megan.
