Chapter 3359 Stay Away From Him
Right now, Megan felt like she was treading on a field of daggers, at risk of losing her life anytime.
Seeing that she wasn’t going to reveal anything, Jake couldn’t stop the discomfort from spreading
across his heart. “Alright, I get what you mean. I thought you were keeping something from me, so I
was reconsidering the business deal. Looks like I read too much into it.”
Megan bit her lip and fell silent. After a brief silence, she looked up. “If possible, stay away from him. I
can’t tell you the reason now.”
Jake frowned and stared at the woman in front of him. She was gazing at him pleadingly, the conflict in
her gaze evident. Her eyes were gloomy like pearls with a thin layer of dust over them.
Something tugged at his heartstrings when he realized Megan’s secret was worse than he thought.
She’s just a woman from the countryside. So why did it seem like she’s shrouded in mysteries?
Jake couldn’t figure that out, but he knew she wouldn’t say anything. He gave up on trying to force an
answer out of her and fell silent.
After a long time, Jake finally broke the silence.
“Never mind about that. Here, this is for you. I thought of going to your house so I can give this to you,
but you showed up at my office.”
Megan stared at the box in Jake’s hands doubtfully, for she had no idea what was inside.
“What’s inside?”
“You’ll know when you open it.”
Jake stuffed the box into Megan’s arms. After blinking in confusion, Megan lifted the cover carefully.
There were a few thick SAT textbooks laying inside. Megan did a double-take at the sight of them.
“Huh?”
Seeing her puzzled expression, Jake finally felt better. He arched his brow and explained, “You said
you want to go to college, right? I’ve registered your name at Boxford College. All that’s left to do is for
you to study hard. Whether you pass the test or not is up to you.”
There was a tinge of anticipation in his provoking tone. Megan gripped the box, feeling touched beyond
words.
People rarely cared about this dream of hers. Just like the netizens, they couldn’t understand why.
Some would even ridicule her for the fact that she didn’t even get to graduate from high school.
Megan had always dreamed of entering a proper college to improve herself. That was the only way for
her to fulfill her dream.
Jake was the first person who gifted the textbooks to her. He was also the first person who took her
dream seriously.
“I… Thank you.”
The tears threatened to spill out of Megan’s eyes. She held back her emotions and mumbled a curt Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
thank you.
She was clearly overwhelmed by his gift, so Jake wrapped an arm around her shoulder to comfort her.
It isn’t easy for her to leave her village and work hard to achieve what she has today.
Her intelligence and strong will were the qualities that he deeply admired. Yet, he didn’t expect she
would be moved to tears when he gifted her a few books.
While comforting the woman in his arms, Jake let out a sigh. Perhaps her insistence on getting what
she wants is why her heart wavered.
“Don’t be sad. You should study diligently and pass the entrance exams. Let bygones be bygones.”
Megan hugged the books tightly and nodded profusely. Jake had given her a chance, and there was no
way she would let it go to waste.
Shortly after, they got ready to leave the office to go to dinner. Suddenly, Jake’s phone rang. Megan
overheard bits of his conversation aside.
