Kiss me tender novel Chapter 75

Melissa turned to look at him in confusion. After a long pause, she asked, "Eric, why did you help me?"

Her question also startled Eric. He looked at her in a daze and didn't know how to answer it.

Melissa continued to say, "I don't know why you treat me so well. Since I met you at the award evening, you would always appear at the first time when I was in trouble." It seems that you have always been helping me, but I don't understand why you have been so good to me that I don't know how to accept it. You know, it's very complicated. Sometimes…… "I can't believe that I will receive such inexplicable kindness." Melissa chose to speak out her confusion and her doubts, hoping to make it clear to Eric, otherwise she would not know how to face him in the future.

But Eric just laughed and grabbed her hand again. "Don't overthink it. I just think you have potential. I don't want the entertainment circle to lose your talent, so I want to help you." "Don't forget the original intention of us filming is the same. We came here for art. Although it is inevitable to be commercial over these years, our original intention has not changed."

Melissa lowered her eyelids with saying, "I can see that you pursue art. So when you were young, you gave up the aura of an idol star and went to work in some war movies or literature movies to ruin your image. You should watch the script and the director instead of the revenues." "But Eric, I'm not who I used to be. I'm not the same person as you were. I'm not who Melissa was. You've seen how much I've changed in the past few years. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed if you spend too much time on me!" If Eric helped her in order to pursue art, Melissa would be ashamed and wouldn't accept his kindness. After all, over these years, she had already given up the dream of pursuing art. She just wanted to be famous and trod down those who bullied her!

With a smile, Eric said, "It doesn't matter. I can get your dream back. Besides, I can see that you are not able to be completely transformed like those female stars outside. Trust me, I will restore your dream!"

Hearing this, Melissa was moved. To be honest, if someone helped you when you were in trouble and was willing to help you realize your dream, wouldn't you dare to take actions? And Eric was that kind of person. The way he treated her made her doubt if he would be her angel. He would always appear in her worst time and drag her out of the swamp.

However, she could not accept his kindness, could she? She really couldn't accept it! So Melissa shook her head and said softly, "Eric, I know you're nice to me, but I really won't rely on you to get the position this time." My parents are very disappointed with me this time. They think our Shen family, especially girls, can't live on men. They must have their own ability, or they are shameless! "I don't want to let them down again!"

Eric frowned and said, "Your parents are so strict with you. As a girl, why are you so stubborn?"

Melissa retorted, "This is not about being forced, but about dignity. I have to do it. My father is in poor health and I don't want to stimulate him again."

"Then..." Eric hesitated. "You really don't want me to help you?"

Melissa smiled with saying, "You have helped me a lot. I can't be more grateful. So you don't have to help me anymore."

Looking at her, Eric hesitated and was about to say something, but his assistant knocked at the door. Eric looked back and said to Melissa, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll go out and see what's going on."

Melissa nodded and he then left the room. Eric asked, "What's the matter?"

The assistant who had just graduated from college and looked very childish pointed at the phone in hand and said in a panic, "Woody called to ask you about where you are and I almost couldn't hold it. Eric, please give him a response. Otherwise, I suspect that Woody is going to call the police!"

Last night, when Eric came out to pick up Melissa, he went out in secret and only asked his assistant to accompany him. He knew that Woody hated Melissa very much and always regarded her as his disaster, so he disliked it when he kept in touch with Melissa. In order to get rid of her, Eric had to come out quietly and turned off his phone. He also forbade the assistant to tell him where he was.

However, Woody was known to be a genius in the business of dealing with it and he had experienced a lot. His assistant was new in the industry and had no experience in business. It was estimated that he really couldn't handle it and had to come to him.

At this time, the assistant's phone rang again. The assistant took a look at the screen and found that it was Woody's calling. Then the assistant was so anxious that she was in a sweat. Completely at a loss, she looked at Eric for help.

After a moment's silence, Eric picked up the phone. But as soon as the call got through, Woody yelled, "Eric, where are you? How could you disappear like that?" Don't you know the consequence if the company knows it? "Tell me, where have you been? Why didn't you answer my phone?"

The voice was so loud that Melissa could hear it even in the ward and she can felt the anger of Woody.

After casting a glance at Melissa, Eric closed the door subconsciously and pulled the assistant aside to answer the phone.

However, no matter how Eric tried to hide it, Melissa had already guessed it. And she was even more aware of the disgust of Woody, Eric's agent. Melissa was afraid that Woody would hate her after he knew the truth. So how could she continue to ask for the help of Eric and to bring trouble to him?
