Chapter 3354 Is Megan Someone Important

Seeing how stumped they were, Megan shrugged in resignation. She had no intention to put them in a tight spot. It was just a harmless joke. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Handing the notepads to one of the girls, she shook her head and chuckled lightly. “It’s alright. I was just joking around. Looks like I’ll need to give your boss a call.” She sighed and added, “I thought I could head up after getting to know where his office is.”

Megan had no choice but to pull her phone out. She was about to call Jake when his secretary appeared.

The secretary was clearly stunned to see her. He scurried over to Megan and stopped upon seeing the three receptionists surrounding Megan. “Why didn’t you call? Are you chatting with the receptionists?” he questioned.

Megan pursed her lips awkwardly, at a loss for words.

“Err, it’s nothing. Let’s go.”

It was too long an explanation, so she hurriedly urged the secretary to lead her out of the lobby.

The receptionists watched in surprise as Jake’s secretary led Megan toward the elevator. Normally, the secretary would only head down to welcome VIPs.

Is Megan someone important, too?

Megan followed Jake’s secretary to his office, which was empty. There were rows of files lined up against both walls in the office.

“Please wait here. Mr. Wilson is still in a meeting. It might take…”

The secretary was explaining things to Megan when the door opened, cutting her explanation short. It was Jake, clad in a striped suit.

As he strode in, the secretary went over and greeted him politely. “Mr. Wilson.” He also took the stuff in his arms from him.

Megan stood up to welcome him. She noticed how pale his face was and frowned thoughtfully.

“What’s wrong? You don’t look well.” Megan stepped forward in concern. Seeing how pasty his expression was, she bit back her words and studied him carefully. Is he sick?

“I’m fine.” Jake shook his head and gestured for his secretary to leave. He pulled himself together before turning to meet Megan’s gaze.

“Stop acting tough. This isn’t your usual self,” said Megan with her brows knitted together. She stood on her tiptoes and touched his forehead. To her surprise, his skin was burning.

She immediately brought Jake to the couch grimly. There was no time to yell at him, so she poured a glass of warm water for him hastily.

“Don’t you know you’re running a fever?”

Megan helped Jake up so he could lean on her shoulder. She brought the glass to his lips as her heart clenched anxiously.

“Of course I know I have a fever.”

Jake took a few sips of the water and lay down in her lap. He might be ill, but the annoying side in him still remained.

Megan rolled her eyes in exasperation. She parted her lips to reprimand him, but the sight of the cold sweat on his forehead stopped her. His gaze also seemed gloomy.

At once, her heart jumped to her throat as she scrunched up her brows.

Taking pills won’t work. He needs to take a shot at the hospital.

“You’re terribly ill. Let’s go to the hospital.”

Jake was obviously distraught, so Megan couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

She made up her mind and struggled to help Jake up. However, he was too heavy and flopped back on her lap.

Disturbed by her actions, Jake frowned in displeasure and forced himself to open his eyes. He then flung an arm around her neck and brought her nearer to him.

Megan lurched forward due to the sudden force as her eyes parted in shock. They locked gazes, seemingly about to kiss any minute.
