Kiss me tender novel Chapter 91

Eric said, "I respect your decision. Since you don't want to sign the contract, I won't force you." There was a touch of coldness in his tone. It seemed that he had been heart broken. Then he walked away to Zack and others, leaving Melissa behind.

Hearing Eric's words, Melissa understood what he was thinking. He might be interested in her. But she hurt him eventually and hurt his self-esteem. But it's good for him to shrink back from difficulties, and there was peaceful in the future. Melissa didn't want to get Eric involved, for she had already offended Colin alone, and she didn't want Eric to get into trouble because of her. So she thought it would be nice to let Eric leave the she hurt his feelings. Eric was so kind to her. She didn't want his career to be ruined because of her.

When Eric walked in front of the crowd, he glanced at them and only gave them a slight smile. He had already suppressed the hard pressure on him in front of Melissa. Then he said to Zack indifferently, "I'm here to sign a contract with your artist, don't you invite us to our office first and then talk to us?"

Hearing Eric's words, Zack was stunned for a while and then smiled. He felt that there was a chance for them again. So he was very happy in his heart. He immediately smiled and said, "of course, of course. I'm ready for everything. It's waiting for superstar Eric to enter my office. Come here, please!"

When Eric was about to leave with Zack, Woody lowered his head. Although Woody was angry, he could do nothing about it. However, Junia was not resigned to the result. She yelled, "Eric! Are you leaving me behind, Eric?"

Eric and others looked back at her. Anna curled her lips in disdain.

Junia walked towards Eric with a hurt and aggrieved look on her face. She looked at him with pitiful eyes and said, "you promised me that you would come to sign the contract with me, but why did you change to Zack's artist?"

"I've never said that I want to sign a contract with you, but I'm afraid that you've misunderstood. Maybe you've heard the rumors from the company's top, but since the company set up a studio for me earlier, I signed the contract on my own. The company will not interfere with my decision. I don't know where Miss Junia had heard that I wanted to sign the contract with you."

Eric had his own studio two years ago, which was equivalent to a small entertainment company. There were a lot of staff including clothes, makeup artists, designers, cameramen, and even the scriptwriter. However, the studio only served for one person, and everyone worked for Eric. The fact that he had a studio meant that he was the boss of his kingdom. Everything was tailored for him.

In the entertainment circle, only a very large-scale star or a top-level star who was highly valued by a company could have a studio. Even though Eric had signed a contract with a big company, there was still his own studio, and the company had to support his work unconditionally. It could be seen that the company attached great importance to Eric. So most of the film decisions, advertising endorsement and other contracts were decided by Eric and Woody, his agent. The company rarely interfered with him, unless he made a serious mistake.

Hearing what Eric said, Woody coughed slightly. Then Woody came up to Junia and said in a low voice, "Miss Junia, I'm sorry. I wanted to help you with this matter, but now Eric has changed his tendency temporarily. I can do nothing..."

With a false smile, Eric interrupted Woody coldly, "I didn't change my tendency temporarily. From the beginning of our cooperation, I intend to sign the contract with the artist of Zack. Woody, please don't put the blame on me if you do something behind my back."

Hearing this, Zack laughed even more happily in his heart behind them.

Junia's agent had been very angry for a long time. Hearing their conversation, she held Woody's hands and said, "Woody, what's wrong with you? We've been friends for so many years, but you've played a trick on me in the end, haven't you?"

Seeing that Junia's agent and Woody were arguing, Eric smiled ironically. Ignoring them, he turned around and left. Zack took Eric to his office with a smile. Woody was tangled by Junia and others, and seeing that Eric's leaving. Woody was so anxious that he tried every means to get rid of them and chase after Eric.

But Woody couldn't handle it properly, Woody left Junia and her agent something to handle. Junia hated Zack more and at the same time she held a grudge against Melissa. However, Melissa didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and didn't think too much. Seeing Eric and Zack leaving, she surely bowed her head and followed them.

Melissa followed them, she saw Zack kept talking to Eric and constantly hitting up on Eric. Anna didn't want to be outdone and actively flattered Eric. She got close to Eric's right and greeted him warmly.

Melissa followed them to the office. She suddenly stopped and dared not come in. Zack asked Anna and Eric come in first, and he himself came out to ask his assistant to bring tea to them. Melissa grasped his hand and said, "Zack, I have something to tell you."

Zack was a little annoyed at the moment. But when he remembered that Melissa had done him a big favor today. He asked patiently, "what's the matter?"

Melissa plucked up the courage to say, "Can you... Can you show me the contract of the movie now? I will pick up a few scripts and call the director to confirm the shooting arrangements."

At that moment, Zack frowned and said, "what's the rush? I will take my time to choose a script with you after I finish this contract. Isn't it much easier than you to choose a script with me than you do it yourself?"

Melissa shook her head, "I can't wait for so many days. Now I'm willing to shoot anything, as long as I can shoot. Because... " After hesitating for a while, she bit her lower lip and finally raised her head to tell Zack frankly, "because my dad is sick, I need money now. So I want to sign an agreement as soon as possible and pay the advance for my dad's medical expenses. It's really urgent, so I can't wait for you to finish the contract!"

Zack frown and asked, "How much does your father's illness cost? Why do you spend so much money on your father every year? And he is still ill."

Melissa said, "I think he will be fine if the operation will be all right and it can be performed successfully. So I keep paying for the medical bills. The thousands of dollars are a drop in the bucket salary, but it's better than nothing. So please let me contact the director right now!"

Anna shouted in the office, "Zack, why does it take so long to get a cup of tea?"

"Oh, I am coming," said Zack. Then he wanted to leave. But Melissa still grabbed his hand and wanted to get the contract in his hand. The two of them kept on talking about the contract. After a while, Zack was fed up with Melissa, so he said to her, "the contract wasn't given to you so easily. I don't have time to get the contract from the resources department now. What about this? I have a call from the director. I've talked with him about the female supporting role for a long time, and the director agreed to give me the contract. But we haven't decided to give the role to Anna. You can call the director yourself and tell him that you are my artist and tell him what kind of TV play you have played before. The director is kind of friend with me. He will agree with you to act in the movie, but it all depends on your own performance. If you are wise enough, he can give you more chances to act in the movie."

Melissa nodded and thought, 'Zack is really busy, she can give the director a call first. Then they can discuss the contract later.' Zack then gave the director's phone number to Melissa, asked his assistant to serve tea and quickly went into his office.

Of course, Melissa didn't want to enter the office with Zack. She had got what she wanted and hurt Eric so much. It would be embarrassing for her to stay in the office. Besides, there was nothing to do with her? So she said goodbye to Zack and left.

Melissa didn't even enter the office, which made Eric even more upset. However, no matter how many thoughts he had in his mind, they only made him feel more frustrated. Outside the door, Melissa hurriedly left with her phone in her hand. On seeing her retreating figure, a complicated feeling set in Eric's heart.

Melissa meant to leave, but when passing by some bright glass, she found that her makeup was a little messy. The foundation and BB cream could not cover the red on her left face. So she rushed back to the bathroom and wanted to fix her makeup. She didn't want the director to see her bad manner.

When Melissa was fixing her make-up in the bathroom, she didn't expect that Junia would suddenly come in, followed by her assistant. Junia seemed unhappy and indignant, probably still sad about what happened just now.

Melissa was stunned. She looked at Junia, a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

However, after casting a cold glance at her, Junia picked up her dress and went to the washroom. Her assistant took her bag and waited outside.

'What a bad luck! It's so embarrassing to use the same toilet with her. I'd better leave now, ' Melissa thought. Melissa packed up her things and put them back into her bag. Then she was about to leave in a hurry.

However, at this time, Junia turned back and coldly said to Melissa, "stop! Did I permit you to leave?"

Almost at the same time, Junia's assistant rushed to the gate with conditioned reflex and blocked Melissa's way.

Hearing that, Melissa realized that it was not easy for her to leave today. She just stood there calmly, looked back at Junia while clenching her handbag in both hands. "What can I do for you, Miss Junia?" Melissa asked.

All of a sudden, an ironic smile appeared on Junia's delicate face, which didn't match her appearance and manner at all. She walked towards Melissa, folded her arms in front of her chest, looked at Melissa arrogantly and said, "don't you think you should give me an explanation?"

Not to be outdone, Melissa looked at her coldly, "why should I explain it to you?" Meanwhile, Melissa got a little annoyed. 'Are these people being praised and have bad temper?' Thought Melissa. For example, Junia was considered herself to be the queen when she was flattered by many people. She always behaved like a queen when she talked to others. Of course, Melissa would not accommodate herself to such people, accommodate to them would only make them more arrogant, such as Anna
