Kiss me tender

Chapter 42 (Part One)

After hesitating for a while, Melissa said, "Okay." Then she didn't know what to say. She just didn't understand why Eric came to her. Actually, she was not very familiar with him. Although she had filmed a role with him before, their status had been very different before. Although she was the heroine of the movie, she was sensible enough not to fawn on him as a big star. Then after shooting the ancient costume play The Empress Woman, she barely contacted others and was banned. Later, she had nothing to do with Eric.

Five years later, he became a brilliant actor emperor, but she was reduced to a situation worse than that of a new comer, with such a huge difference in status. She met him at the award ceremony last time and she met him on the street with him again. But they were not familiar with each other, so why did he come to her? He even gave her such a good opportunity to shoot for a commercial. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"Oh what? Where are you now? Are you going back to the company or not?" Noticing that she didn't say a word, Zack was angry. It was a good chance for her and she was still hesitating. She didn't know that the celebrities under his charge were all begging him to change this chance. They also asked him to change Melissa's chance for them, especially Anna, who was very desirable. She pleaded him to change job for her. But he didn't take any action and called her first, but she was still hesitated. She didn't want to piss him off?

After a long time, her mind was still in a mess. What's more, she was forced by Zack to do so. At last, Melissa had to agree, "I'm…… Go back to the company. Zack, you don't have to pick me up. "But now I'm in the suburb. It may take two hours for me to get back to the company by bus."

"You don't need to take a bus anymore. You're short of money, are you? "Take a taxi and I'll reimburse you for the fare!" Shouted Zack.

"No, it's not..." Melissa explained with shaking her hands, "There's no taxi here, so I can only take a bus."

"What kind of place are you? Are you in some barren wasteland now?" "Why don't you can take a cab?"

Looking around at the luxurious and beautiful scenery, Melissa thought he was right and sighed with saying, "Shit! I'm in that place and I can't have a taxi. Just wait!"

"Tell me where you are now. I will drive to pick you up!"

At the same time, Melissa waved her hand in a hurry. She didn't care whether Zack saw her or not. She quickly refused, "No need for that. I'll take the bus as soon as possible. The bus is here now. I have to go now!" Then she hung up the phone. She didn't want Zack to know where she was. The people in the city knew that this place was a rich area and only the top people in the city could buy an apartment here. If Zack knew that, he would be very confused and wondered why she would come here.

At that moment, a bus arrived. Then, Melissa got in it. But after she got in the car, she regretted. She was forced to get in the car by Zack and hadn't promised whether she would cooperate with Eric or not. Last time when Eric took her to the hotel, she heard the sarcastic words his agent had said to her. She felt ashamed of herself. She wanted to live a dignified life, but did she have to just take advantage of Eric' fame? Then she would be despised by Eric's agent in the future. But if any outsider saw her relying on Eric to get promoted, they would probably look down on her. Even if she became famous in the future, she would also be criticized by others' gossip.

"It's bad……" Melissa confused. There was a trace of sadness in her tone. She couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, she didn't understand why Eric had come to her and why he would help her!

So Melissa went back to the company with hesitation. It had been a long time since she came back last time. She even felt strange when she saw the company she had been familiar with. When she entered the company, she was even stopped by the security guards. The security guards were probably new here, so they had never seen her before. They thought she was an outsider.

Fortunately, Zack was waiting at the gate. When he saw she was stopped, he hurried over and scolded the security guard, "Why are you stopping her? You're so blind. She's a famous star. Got it?" You should keep your eyes open from now on and nobody can stop her! "She is superstar Melissa"

The security guard had no choice but to apologize again and again.

But what Zack said made Melissa uncomfortable. Did the superstar was she? Did Zack is taunting her? She had no high social status in the company and she was even inferior to a newcomer. But at the same time, Zack wanted to scold her for her fault. Was it because he still hated her for not being able to entertain directors and magnates in the past? Or was he blaming her for being late today, for keeping him waiting for two and a half hours?

Feeling uncomfortable, Melissa didn't say anything and followed him into the company with her head down. Zack turned around and smiled at her. He kept showing his concern to her, so Melissa responded indifferently and didn't argue with him at all.

After entering the company, she and Zack went to a small meeting room. There were only she and Zack. Zack took out a pile of documents and gave them to her. He said, "This is the cooperation rules sent by Eric's agent. Please take a careful look at it. I have checked it and found it was no problem. Although you have only a vase supporting role in the advertisement and only two or three scenes have access to your face, there is such good effect. Compared with the supporting roles you played in the TV series of ten movies, the photos are much more convincing."
