Chapter 299 - To Know Her Place

"Yeah, but it doesn't guarantee anything. Anyway, after Kate's wedding, I'll audition more vigorously than before" Jim declared with a smile.

"Oh right, mom sent me a message to book tickets for us, you and me need to attend all five days of the wedding event, while mom and dad will only appear on the wedding day" Daniel updated him of his parents' decision.

"I am even surprised they are ready to spare even a day" Jim joked and added, "Mom and dad are not leaving uncle Will's side at all. Poor uncle Will, his privacy is being killed" 

Daniel too laughed at his statement.

After having a good breakfast, Jim left for the rehearsals.

When he reached the auditorium, he saw Megan seriously reading the script. 

Jim couldn't help but recollect the events of last night and he suddenly felt awkward and his heart started racing faster.

'Come on Jim, you can't be like this, you need to talk to her about last night' Jim motivated himself and just as he was about to approach her, Zoey stopped him.

"You bastard, how dare you do this to me?" Zoey started beating him up.

Jimmy was confused as he had no idea, what he did to deserve this beating.

"What did I do?" Jim looked confused.

This small chaos caught Megan's attention too and when she realized Jim is here, her heart started beating faster, as she had no idea how will she face him.

Last night, she provoked him and they ended up making out, although for a short time, but it was still a bit awkward now that they have to face each other.

Megan was nervous to meet him but she had to face it, they need to continue working together on this play and now they also have to rehearse those kissing scenes.

'Why the hell did I kiss him on the stage, yesterday. I just dug a big hole for myself' Megan kept scolding herself as this regret was killing her.

"You lied that you are a small businessman, but last night after seeing your parents, I realized you are Jim Morris. I was too drunk at the party to confront you but now my mind is clear." Zoey informed Jim, why she is pissed with him.

When Jim met his co-stars the first time, he lied to Zoey that he does not belong to Morris', as in the past he had experienced girls approaching him to take advantage of his family and he can never tolerate that, so he avoided girls who were interested in the Morris family and not him.

"I was just being modest, I wanted you all to treat me equally, that's it" Jim made up an excuse.

Zoey continued glaring at him, "Today, lunch is on you" She declared before walking away to continue her rehearsals with Leo.

Jimmy laughed at her weird antics and looked at Megan, who immediately turned her head away when Jim caught her looking at him.

Jim smiled seeing her cute antics.

"I saw you looking at me, no use of moving your gaze away" Jim joked joining Megan.

"Amanda, gave this new script and asked us to…" Megan ignored his statement and handed him the script, which has been modified.

Jim took the script from her but he kept it aside and seriously looked at Megan.

"Meg, we can't pretend like nothing happened, can we please talk about last night?" Jim was way too straightforward, making Megan more nervous than she already was.

Jim was rarely serious, but whenever he was, he looked very intimidating.

"I am sorry for last night" Megan apologized to him as she was not sure what else to say.

"Meg, don't apologize. I think we were way too drunk, and therefore…" Jim said.

"Hmm, you are right. Last night was very overwhelming with so many celebrities approaching me and I was not in the right state of mind. It didn't mean anything." Megan blamed the circumstances as she felt embarrassed and low to confess that she likes him.

She noticed that although Jim is down-to-earth and mingles with everyone easily, he has some rich-boy, royal habits. 

The way he has been brought up and his rich lifestyle is reflected in his actions, which keeps reminding her that he is not just a struggling actor like them but he is the heir of Morris Industries. 

Megan noticed his family, who are definitely at some another level.

Even the woman Jim's elder brother is dating is someone of their status. Rachel is a famous CEO in London.

Jimmy's best friend, who he considers as a sister is another famous business personality.

He is surrounded by all, famous and rich people.

Megan could clearly feel the difference in classes between her and Jim, which was a clear implication for her that she should not eat more than what she can chew and that she should stay in her limits.

When she noticed how Jim intentionally lied to Zoey about his true identity, it was clear he won't encourage a common girl to approach him and is conscious of what kind of woman he is involved with.

All of this was enough for Megan to know her place in his life.

So, Megan blamed the party and drinks for her behaviour instead of confessing her feelings. Also, it would be too weird if she confesses her attraction so suddenly.

Jim nodded his head, in understanding.

"You are right, the same was the case with me. It was all a bit too much, and I crossed the line, I am really sorry" Jim too shared what he went through and somewhere he was glad, Megan was chill about it and didn't bother herself that much.

"Are we fine now?" Megan worriedly asked him.

Jim laughed but he assured her, "We are absolutely fine. Thanks for being so cool about it, Megan"

Megan just smiled at him.

"So, we are still good friends, right?" Jim asked for confirmation.
