Chapter 3209 True Colors

Luna pulled several gift boxes out of a huge paper bag, handing them to Donna before sitting down next to Megan. “It's nearing the end of the year, and it's hard to get anyone to sign an exclusive contract with us. But I've purposefully reserved several events and movie roles for you, so—"

"Wait, stop,” Megan cut her off, holding a hand up in the air as she furrowed her eyebrows together. “I've said before that I won't be renewing my contract with Starling Media, and you didn’t stop me back then. Why are you bringing this up again now?”

Luna did a double-take before a lightbulb seemed to go off in her head. Snapping her fingers, she chuckled as she got up and retrieved a document from her desk, giving it to Megan. “Now that you're here, I thought that you might as well sign the renewal contract. You can take a look at the terms and conditions listed inside. I guarantee you that only top talents in our company are deserving of these conditions.”

Skimming through the contents of the document, the hints of a smirk played on Megan's lips. It was true that it was a much better contract when compared to her previous one, but she now had experience from her past life. She wasn't going to settle for mediocrity.

So, she pushed the contract back in Luna's direction, giving her a polite smile. “Thank you for the offer, but I don’t think I'm interested.”

“You... Did you read through the terms properly?” Luna was clearly offended, quickly taking a deep breath and suppressing her arising anger.

Megan internally scoffed at the sight.

Does Luna think that Starling Media was her only option?

"Of course I did. I also know that this contract is equivalent to what Mia was offered. But I would like to reiterate that I'm not signing with Starling Media; I detest this place and this company.”

Upon hearing that, the smile and warmth instantly vanished from Luna's face.

Pretending to organize her files, she slammed the document back onto the coffee table. “Don’t think that just because you starred in a television drama that you're now some hotshot. I'm only here to discuss the contract with you now because I've started thinking highly of you.”

So she was finally showing her true colors.

“Is that so?" Megan shrugged, looking Luna up and down in interest. “So you see me in a different light now that I've gained some recognition. Of course, that wasn't your fault. Your fault, however, is not having the foresight that I have the potential to become famous. And now you've realized all too late that if you fail to make me stay, I'll eventually surpass you.”

"You!"

Luna was momentarily lost for words. She’d never seen Megan act this way before. She was sat on the sofa as she stared up at her through lazy, hooded eyelids.

All she could do to vent her anger was to press hard on her pen.

It took a while before Luna finally regained her composure. Placing her pen back down, she fixed Megan with a calm stare. “I think you have no intention to retire from showbiz. And you're still young, so you have no idea how important having a manager and a company to back you up will be. I don't want you to regret your decision, and I don’t want to witness the downfall of one of tomorrow's greatest celebrities.”

Luna had always been good at flowery sweet-talk. If this had been Megan's first try at life, she might have even felt a little moved.

“Is that so? But the role that I'm most well-known for was not even earned from the company.”

The blunt truth pierced easily through Luna's veil of lies. Megan smiled sarcastically, watching in anticipation to see how she would react.

Still, Luna was a veteran in the entertainment industry. A small trip-up like this wasn't enough to faze her.

“It's true that we didn't give you that role. However, how would you have gotten in without the support of Starling Media as your platform?” Luna raised an eyebrow.

Megan nearly barked out loud with laughter. She and Donna exchanged an amused look before turning to look back at Luna.

“Starling Media would be nothing without loyal lapdogs like you. Now that you mention it, I feel kinda bad; I mean, I've been with this company for so long, but I've never gifted you guys anything. You know what? You can take back these year-end gifts and think of them as my present to you.”
