Unable to restrain herself, Megan roared with fury, “Do you really think I’m harassing you on purpose? I’ve only met you that one time at the audition! If I wanted to take advantage of you, why would I have waited until everything was over to make a fuss? Mr. Wilson, you think too highly of yourself! I don’t want to see you ever again!”

Megan paused. Even after that speech, Megan felt that she had only managed to partially vent out the resentment she had accumulated. There was nonetheless still a significant amount of rage brewing within her.

Megan, however, knew that she had to tread carefully. Every word she uttered was part of a gamble.
