Chapter 1340

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s focus on work. I believe you’ll handle everything well, won’t you?” Aurora coaxed gently, her eyes brimming with warmth as she spoke to Megan.

Megan nodded seriously. “I know! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely handle it. I won’t let the people around me down.”

Seeing Megan regain her spirit, Aurora felt a rush of relief and happiness. “Let’s go then. Time to meet the production team.”

“I didn’t expect you to get on a show so soon. I think I’m even more nervous than you,” Megan chuckled awkwardly, her expression a little stiff.

“What are you nervous for? I’m not even nervous.” As Aurora drove, she glanced at Megan in the passenger seat.

Megan bit into her bread, arms folded behind her head as she leaned back. “I don’t even know why I’m nervous. Maybe because it’s the first time I’ve been around a crew.”

“There’ll be more in the future.” Aurora thought for a moment. “If the response to this show is good, we’ll probably get plenty more invitations for similar ones. So, my little assistant, you’d better get used to it.”

“Got it!” Megan silently made up her mind–she had to catch up with Aurora’s pace. If Aurora kept moving forward and she stayed in place, what would happen then?

She didn’t want to be apart from Aurora. She was happiest when she was with her. From childhood, they had always been together.

Even though Aurora had always been smarter, always quicker to pick things up, Megan felt nothing but pride.

When she was with other kids, she could brag without hesitation. “See? This is my best friend, my closest friend. She’s just that amazing.” Megan had repeated that line countless times growing up. And every time she did, the other kids looked at her with envy.

Every day on the way to and from school, kids would gather around Megan, chattering about Aurora. Because of that, Megan always felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

As time went on, everyone came to know that Aurora always had Megan by her side. Megan became almost like Aurora’s mark of authenticity. Wherever Megan showed up, Aurora would definitely be there too, so people often turned to Megan when they needed something from Aurora.

Megan grew used to it, trailing behind Aurora, watching her back as she took step after step forward.

Only now did Megan feel a sudden blur of uncertainty. If she didn’t keep pace with Aurora, would she eventually be left behind? Would Aurora still want her then?

Even though Aurora’s earlier words had moved her deeply, Megan still felt a hint of unreality. After all, even Aurora’s own mother could grow estranged from her in the end. And she herself didn’t even share any blood ties with Aurora.

It was only now that Megan realized just how lazy she had been before. Only people walking in sync could stay together without drifting apart. If she didn’t start putting in the effort, one day she really would be left behind.
