Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 131 Megan Loses It

Matthew’s expression practically screamed, “I must know!” And it left Erin speechless. Of course, she

couldn’t tell him that it was Chandler.

“You don’t know him,” she answered curtly and turned to leave.

With one of his long legs, Matthew blocked her path and continued to ask, “Tell me who it is!”

Erin grew impatient at his persistence. “Does it really matter who it is? Stop asking-*

Suddenly, Matthew laughed out loud. “You can’t tell me who it is because there is no such person!

You’re just making up another excuse to reject me, aren’t you?”

Shrugging nonchalantly, Erin gave up communicating with him. “Think whatever you want. Please

move aside, Roman is still waiting for me to bring back his lamb skewers.”

Seeing a hint of suppressed disgust in her expression, Matthew did his best to hold back his anger and

finally moved aside. Erin didn’t spare a glance at him and walked forward, taking big steps.

She’d walked a considerable distance before Matthew suddenly shouted loudly from where he stood. “I

won’t give up, Erin!”

Erin didn’t turn back. She silently thought that it was beyond her control as to whether he persisted or

gave up. Thinking about these unwanted admirers and pursuers, Erin felt annoyed.

Fifty minutes later, Erin returned to the set, holding an iced orange juice and some lamb skewers that

were still warm as she entered Roman’s dressing room. Roman was still filming his night scenes and

hadn’t returned yet. Erin decided to sit on the sofa and study the role of the fourth female lead in detail.

After less than five minutes, someone pushed open the dressing room door forcefully. The door banged

against the wall, making a loud sound, and bounced back from the force.

Standing at the door, Megan glared at Erin with a furious expression. She pressed a hand against the

door frame and looked at Erin

unblinkingly.

“Liliana, you stand here and guard the door!” Megan barked an order at Liliana, who was standing

outside the door.

Then, she strutted into the dressing room and kicked the door close forcefully with her foot.

Seeing how furious Megan was, Erin’s intuition told her that Megan was here to look for trouble, and it

probably had something to do with Simon. As such, Erin didn’t speak. She waited for Megan to speak

first. At that instance, Megan’s expression was sinister and terrifying. With a head full of gorgeous pearl

hairpins and dressed in a red silk gown, she was as bright and beautiful as a poppy. In addition, the

fiery

red fox tail mark on her forehead seemed to emit a demonic aura.

Megan questioned shrewdly. “What the hell did you say to Simon? You’d better be honest with me!”

Erin’s heart skipped a beat. In response, she calmly asked, “I have no idea what you mean, Ms.

Zeigler.”

“Ha! Go on! Keep up that act! So, you have the guts to tell on me but don’t dare to own up to it. Didn’t

you say you were sleeping in the west wing? Percival and I were almost fooled by you! Hand over the

recording you made without our permission!” There was deep resentment and anger in Megan’s eyes

as she said that.

Upon hearing what Megan said, Erin fell deep into thought. It seemed that Simon had confronted

Megan, and he must have mentioned the recording. Erin cursed wordlessly that she’d brought trouble

upon herself by medding in other people’s affairs.

However, she had no intention of admitting to it just like that. Calmly, she said, “Ms. Zeigler, I really

don’t know what you’re talking about. and I don’t have what you’re talking about either.”

Faced with Erin’s adamant denial, Megan was so mad that she was about to go crazy. “Erin, you damn

trash! You slut! Tell me! Did you show the recording to Simon? Don’t you dare deny it now! If it weren’t

because of showing him that, why would he suddenly break up with me? He was even about to

propose to me-”

As Megan’s emotions were about to spiral out of control, a warning bell sounded in Erin’s mind. She

gave Megan an ultimatum. “Your private matters with your boyfriend have nothing to do with me! If you

keep insulting me like this, I’ll have security escort you out!”

Her unapologetic attitude and threat caused Megan to snap. She charged forward; her composure and

status as a leading actress were completely overshadowed by her extreme anger. She bellowed

threateningly. “You bitch! I’m going to rip you and your dishonest mouth to

pieces!”

Erin was prepared for this. Before Megan could reach her, she instantly grabbed a lowel from the sola

and threw it at her lace. As Megan struggled to pull the towel off her, she helplessly watched as Erin

took refuge in the changing room. She then heard the door being locked from the inside with a click.

Megan, who had lost her sanity, forcefully removed her boots and began to pound away at the door

frantically. She was screeching all the while as she did that. “Erin, you coward! Come out here! You

shameless bitch! You’re nothing but a despicable whore-”

Her curses gradually become more and more vulgar. Erin marveled at Megan’s ability to spew

prolanities consecutively. Megan really went all out and insulted her in any degrading way possible.

She then went on to insult Erin’s lamily. Erin was incensed and wanted to give her a light slap. No one

would be able to forgive and forget after being cursed at so vehemently.

Erin’s only remaining trace of sanity prevented her from opening the door. There was a madwoman

right outside the door. If Erin rushed. out and got beaten up, then she deserved it. Moreover, deep

down, Erin felt guilty. She’d indeed informed Simon about Megan’s affair, and

it caused them to break up. 1

Caught in a rock and a hard place. Erin regretted poking her nose into someone else’s business when

she was powerless to handle the consequences that came with it. She’d only wanted to prevent Simon

from being deceived, but she didn’t foresee something like this

would happen.

Megan forcefully banged on the door with her boots. If Erin went out, she would definitely be bashed on

the head!

Right then, a cold and chilling male voice sounded outside the dressing room door.

Megan’s persistent banging and yelling were so loud that even the staff passing by outside could hear

her clearly. Someone quickly hurried to inform Roman. He immediately stopped filming and rushed

over. Even the director came along.

Liliana, who had been guarding the door, retreated to one side upon being intimidated by a fierce glare

from Roman. When Roman and the director entered the dressing room, Megan stopped pounding on

the door.

Erin, still hiding in the changing room, didn’t dare open the door. She held her breath and listened to

the commotion outside. After a while, she heard that the director left the dressing room with Megan.

Soon, Roman came to the changing room door and said, “Erin, you can come out now. Megan is

gone.”

Only then did Erin open the door. After she came out, Roman closed and locked the door to his

dressing room immediately.

He walked toward the sofa with a serious expression and asked. “What exactly happened? Don’t hide

anything from me. This matter won’t end so easily. Megan lost her sanity and disregarded her image

completely, for crying out loud! She must have been infuriated to the extreme.”

Feeling somewhat guilty, Erin glanced at him and stood in place with her head bowed, looking like a

child who had done something wrong. Seeing that her face was somewhat pale, Roman realized that

she must have been frightened earlier. His heart ached, and even his stern tone softened a lot. “Come,

sit next to me and tell me all about it.”

Erin looked up at him and timidly walked over. Once she sat down and organized her thoughts, she

began telling him everything and how it came to the situation earlier. Of course, she didn’t mention the

incident where Simon lost control and kissed her or the fact that he entrusted her with the ring.

Ten minutes later, one could see from Roman’s expression that he was displeased. In his opinion, Erin

had bitten off more than she could chew by meddling with other people’s affairs. What was more, it

involved the privacy of a fellow cast member!

But the damage had already been done. So, the next course of action was to think of a way to resolve

it.

“Do you still have Simon’s personal phone?” Roman asked.

Erin nodded. “I called him, and he said he had something to do in Seaside City and temporarily couldn’t

come to Fleuverton.”

“Give me the phone. I’ll call him now.”

Erin immediately reached out to open the envelope package on the sofa. From there, she took out

Simon’s black phone. Upon receiving it

from her, Roman activated the phone screen. Although the battery was running low. It was enough to

make one call.

He stood up with the phone in his hand, waiting for Simon to answer.

Not long after, Simon’s voice came through. “What is il, Erin? Do you need something?”

“Roman speaking here. And I do need something from you. Simon, you’re a lawyer, but your ability to

handle your affairs is highly questionable! I don’t care what method you used to break up with Megan,

but keep watch over your damn woman! Megan nearly harmed Erin just now! If you don’t handle this

matter properly, we will report it to the police! I won’t be able to put a lid on it if your private matters with

Megan end up in the newspapers!”

After berating Simon mercilessly, Roman hung up right away. He handed the phone back to Erin and

instructed, “If he calls, don’t answer!”

Erin looked at him with admiration and gratitude. The look in her eyes made Roman’s heart beat faster.

He frowned and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Gratefully, Erin gushed. “You were so domineering just now! You made me feel like I was protected. I’m

so lucky to be your assistant!”

Even though she caused so much trouble, Roman stood up for her with just one phone call.

Roman sighed helplessly and glared at her. He reminded me. “Until this matter is completely resolved,

you cannot go anywhere alone. Whether it’s going to the filming set or returning to the hotel, you have

to be with me. Do you understand?”
