Kiss me tender novel Chapter 123

When Melissa got home, there was no paparazzo stalking on her. The paparazzo must have been sent away by Mrs. Fannie as soon as she met Mrs. Fannie. Ling family was so powerful that they could not only control the entertainment circle, but also control the news media. No wonder Mrs. Fannie could be so mysterious and low-key. Even if the reporters met her, they dared not report without her permission.

At the same time, Melissa remembered what Mrs. Fannie had told her. Colin was doomed to marry a lady of noble birth, no one else expect the lady of noble birth, besides, Colin was going to get married soon. Victor didn't love her. He was just out of his mind for a moment.

Lying in bed motionless for a long time, Melissa was immersed in her thoughts. Soon after, she received a call from Eric.

The phone rang for a long time before Melissa slowly answered it. "Hello."

"Hello, Melissa, where are you now? Are you home?" Asked Eric at the other end of the line.

"Yes," said Melissa gently.

Eric sighed and said in a gloomy voice, "today, I received a call from director Li, inviting me to play with you in his TV series."

"Yes." Replied Melissa flatly. She didn't show much emotion on her words. She was just too tired to move on the bed.

Worried, Evan asked, "don't you think it's strange? Generally speaking, Colin wouldn't have asked us to act in this TV series. He was so cruel and cold-blooded that director Li wouldn't dare to disobey him. But at last, director Li called us enthusiastically and invited us. I suspect there is a trap in it."

"What trap?" Slowly, Melissa closed her eyes. Tiredness was written all over her face. She was too tired and almost fell asleep.

Eric added, "I don't know what Colin is going to do, but I have a feeling that it's not simple. Besides, there is something stranger. After I told the media that I'm going to make you famous, the company is really mad at me. But today, the leader summoned me. He said with a bright smile that he's going to arrange a movie for me, and a movie cooperated with an international star, it would show in Hollywood. Is it strange? "

"Yes."

Seeing that her voice was surprisingly calm, Eric was even more confused and skeptical. "Don't you have any idea? Or what happened between you and Colin? How did Colin threaten you? Did you make a compromise to him? "

Melissa finally opened her eyes and said, "No."

"Then why? I feel something is wrong with you. What happened today?"

Staring at the ceiling, Melissa thought for a while. Then she decided to tell Eric the truth. "I saw Mrs. Fannie this afternoon. That was Colin's mother, Fannie."

After a long pause, Eric finally broke the silence. "Did you see her? How did you come across such a powerful person? Do you know that the Ling Group is very influential in the entertainment circle? The person behind Colin who named Fannie, is more powerful than Colin. How did you meet her? Is she threatening you with anything? " Eric was worried. Melissa's involvement was more complicated than he imagined. Not only involved Colin, but also with Fannie. This was a complex and terrible thing.

Melissa could tell from his tone that he was worried and said. "Nothing. I met her by accident. She didn't threaten me, instead... She wanted to help me. Director Li suddenly called us to go to the shooting site, and your company treated you well. If I'm not mistaken, it was all Mrs. Fannie who asked them to do so. "

But Eric was still worried. "Why did Mrs. Fannie help you? You should know that people like them can't help someone for no reason. You have taken her advantages, and next time you have to pay more price. The price is unimaginable. You shouldn't have been involved with Mrs. Fannie."

Melissa said flatly, "She didn't mean to harm me. She just wanted to deal with Colin, so she asked me and you to help her to deal with Colin."

"How could a mother hire outsiders to deal with her own son? Did Mrs. Fannie set any trap for you?"

After a long time of silence, Melissa stared at the ceiling and said, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. If there is really no benefit, I won't promise Mrs. Fannie. So, don't worry. Forget Colin, and you can develop your career well."

"Melissa, you'd better tell me clearly about this thing. I've said I'll support you, so we are on the same boat. If you don't tell me anything, how can I help you?"

After a moment of silence, Melissa asked, "Do you really want me to tell you?"

Eric replied, "Let's get to the point. It will be better if we can share the problems together. Don't bear them all by yourself!"

Eric's words were so warm and kind that made Melissa feel even more certain that this man still cared about her. She finally understood her worries and guilt over the past few days. In fact, as long as she could be with Eric, everything would be fine. The reason why Eric had done so many things for her was that he loved her. Even though she had hurt him that day, he still didn't regret coming to her and being nice to her. It should be said that he had probably made up his mind to be with her. Otherwise how could he be so persistent? Even if he was hurt, he would not give up.

If she was with Eric, she would not be so guilty to Eric anymore? And what was more, she could stimulated Colin and made Colin finally give up on her? This would also please Mrs. Fannie. It was killing three birds with one stone! It was just that Melissa must suffer more grievances and feel bitterer in her heart.

So Melissa asked, "Eric, do you like me?"

This time, it was silent for a long time on the other side of the phone. It was so quiet that even their breathing stopped, without any sound. Through the quiet line connection in the phone, Melissa could feel the nervousness or even embarrassment of Eric. But she wasn't afraid to embarrass him and asked again, "Eric, do you like me?"
