Chapter 3298 I Do Mind
“Stop. Are you done?”
When Jerry saw both of them finally falling silent, he swept his gaze around and stood up holding the script.
However, no one responded as they were all rendered speechless by what had just occurred. Not minding the silence at all, Jerry rambled on, “Just now, Mr. Swanson and I had a discussion. Mia’s screen time will be increased while Megan will be “caught” halfway and be eliminated.”
Just a few words alone was enough to dictate how the script and focus of the filming in the show would change.
It was now obvious that the director had decided to cast Megan in a supporting role for this episode.
Under such circumstances, there was no point in protesting further. Osmond had either offered some attractive terms or threatened him to do it.
Hence, Megan replied at once. “Alright, I accept it.”
Given how Megan agreed without any hesitation, Jerry stared at her in surprise and frowned.
Raising his eyebrows, the sad look in his eyes penetrated Megan’s heart. “I didn’t expect you to readily agree as I assumed that you would mind.”
Obviously, no one would believe it if she said she didn’t care. However, Megan was someone rational and knew that even if she minded, there was no way for her to turn the situation around.
Instead of embarrassing herself by protesting angrily, she figured she might as well have some fun and pretended not to care. That way, she would get on Mia’s nerves instead.
Raising her eyebrow, Megan collected her thoughts. Pretending to nod in acknowledgment, she replied calmly, “I do mind but I don’t want to delay work any further.”
When everyone heard Megan’s question, their expressions drastically changed. All of them glared at Mia with their hearts filled with animosity.
Just when she thought she had the upper hand over Megan, Mia didn’t expect to be suddenly stabbed in the back. With a darkened expression, she stood up awkwardly and scowled at Megan instead.
“Alright, that’s enough.”
When Jerry realized that they were going to start quarreling again, he quickly stood helplessly between them to calm things down. It was just as Megan had said, he too didn’t want work to be delayed any further.
“As long as she keeps her mouth shut, I won’t say a word.” Megan ignored Mia while standing aside without much care. Even her tone sounded aloof.
When she saw Megan’s condescending response, Mia was outraged. However, Osmond glared angrily at her, forcing her to keep a lid on her emotions. After all, he no longer wanted to hear another word from her.
