Chapter 3238 Confrontation
Megan’s emotions were all over the place as she opened the door. Her feelings for Jonas were somewhat complicated; she found herself even more befuddled after last night’s events.
“Why are you looking for me?” Megan lowered her gaze. Strands of hair had escaped from under the black cap she was still wearing.
Jonas took in her slightly messy appearance as he sat on a nearby sofa.
He lightly massaged his forehead as he asked rhetorically, “Why do you think I’m here?”
Megan refused to reply to his question. Both of them seemed reluctant to open the can of worms that defined their complicated relationship.
“If there’s nothing important, you can leave. I need to look through some scripts today.”
One night had caused enough damage to her relationship with Jonas. She was not in the mood to face the guilt in her heart nor express gratitude toward him.
Relationships are complicated.
Megan thought the best course of action would be to ignore it.
“Looks like you’re much calmer about last night’s events than I am.” Jonas’ gaze darkened.
Megan began fiddling with her phone on the coffee table, assuming a calm demeanor while she ignored his barb.
Jonas could not hold back his anger at her apparent indifference. He reached out and grabbed Megan’s wrist in an instant.
“Are you avoiding me?” His features were taut with tension as he scrutinized Megan’s expression. She looked at him in shock.
“You weren’t drunk at all, were you? Did you run to Jake’s room when I went upstairs to get my keys? Seems like you were well-prepared last night.”
Jonas wore a mocking expression on his face. Megan could not help but clench her fists in discomfort.
She glanced at Jonas and pursed her lips. She did not know whether to lie or tell him the truth.
“I’ll give you two scenarios. You can decide which one to believe.”
She sighed wearily as she organized her thoughts. No matter how long I try to avoid this, it’ll come back to bite me in the back. My relationship with Jake is already complicated.
“The first scenario is that my phone was stolen and then accidentally left behind in front of Jake’s bedroom door. The second is that I was drugged, and Jake saved me at the last second.”
