Kiss me tender

Chapter 90

Noticing that Melissa pulled his arm and he didn't resist, Eric followed her silently. Seeing that the two had made their way to the other side, no one dared to resist, and let them leave. But the crowd looked at them from a distance, wondering what Melissa and Eric could talk about.

Melissa pulled Eric to a relatively quiet place where she could still see the group, but if they spoke in a low voice that the crowd shouldn't have heard them. She loosened her grip on Eric's hand. Standing in front of him with her head bowed, she didn't know what to say. After a long while, she looked up and said, "Eric, I really want to ask you, why did you want do the advertisement with me? I think I... My fame and status are not enough for you to value, so for this great opportunity... I can't believe it." Melissa gestured, making a gesture to express her feelings.

Eric took off his sunglasses and finally revealed his handsome face. As he had just finished performing on the stage, he looked more handsome and delicate than before. He was so handsome that Melissa almost couldn't believe that she had a man like him but not in her dreams! Actually, it was also a dream for Melissa. That was a feeling beyond description.

Looking at her indifferently, Eric said, "Why are you so worried? I really want to help you without any purpose or any reason. Anyway, I just want to help you."

The corners of Melissa's mouth twitched. She smiled bitterly and helplessly. Then she gestured again and said, "but do you know that you care about me in this way. Sometimes... You will make me into... I am into an awkward situation, like what happened today. I really don't know how to deal with it. Moreover, I will face the media in the future. I don't want to make any achievement because of your hype! I don't want to be scolded like this and I don't want to be easily denied my success." Raising her head to look at Eric, Melissa tried her best to show her sincerity.

But even so, Eric didn't seem to understand it. Giving her a smile, he consoled, "why are you caring too much? You are not relying on me to get your position. You are just lucky. There are people who areExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

willing to help you, and you will easily succeed. It's natural that celebrities will come across someone who like to help them on the way to be a famous star. Just take me as your helper. I can promise you that you will be much more popular after the advertisement is broadcast."

"But why are you going to be my helper?" Melissa insisted. Her eyes were bright, looking at him thoroughly like a mirror, hoping to get an answer from his eyes.

Hearing that, Eric fell silent. It seemed that he had been asked down by Melissa. But soon he replied: "I appreciate your talent and am willing to be your helper. Does it need any other reason?"

After a while, Melissa finally lowered her head and bit her lower lip. She felt that it was getting more and more difficult to deal with this matter. First, Eric refused to tell the truth. In the past few days, he had helped her a lot. Every woman would be suspicious of his kindness. No man would treat a woman well for no reason if it was not for something else but attempted to love you. As for Eric, she was sure that he didn't have any intention to get close to her after knowing him these days. Then it must be that he liked her.

Why did Eric like her? Melissa didn't think that she was special, because she was pretty? In the entertainment circle, there were many pretty women. Even in this hall, Junia was more beautiful and delicate than her. If only she had class. she had developed the habit of drinking and smoking ever since she was with Colin. Then she no longer had class. Speaking of her personality, she was just a little better tempered these years. Sometimes she would take a roundabout route when encountering difficulties. She did not turn back even if facing the wall. Was this her personality?

Melissa carefully scanned herself, and didn't think that a woman with such poor background like her would win the favor of the most famous actor Eric. However, the hidden feeling in her heart was hard to describe. Women were always so sensitive, and it was easy to feel a man's feelings for her.

So Melissa kept her head down and didn't dare to look up at Eric. "Eric, I think I have to make it clear to you, otherwise, it would not only delay you, but also delay me!"

Eric could tell she was hesitating, so he said calmly, "tell me."

Biting her lower lip again, Melissa finally made up her mind and said, "you know my story, right? You've already figured out what relationship between me and Colin, haven't you? I and he... It's... it's not pure... " There was another pause, and then she finally made up her mind. "I have been Colin's woman for five years. We are not boyfriend and girlfriend. We have nothing to do with love. We have a deal of money. I followed him for five years. He could play me as long as he gave me what I wanted. I'm his mistress, and he hides me. I'm his woman! "

Well, Melissa knew that she was being straightforward. She said those words so directly that it almost tore the wound in her heart, exposing it to Eric bloody. Her words also turned Eric's face gloomy. His usual gentle and handsome face was a bit gloomy, as if he had been stimulated by her words.

Eric wanted to say something, but he still kept silent. He closed his mouth tightly, with a cold and complicated expression in his eyes. Perhaps he was overwhelmed by his inner emotion.

Melissa forced a smile. She didn't dare to look into his eyes, so she looked down and said, "I'm stupid and sometimes too naive. Although Colin have told me that it was only a deal, and he still loves the woman he loved deeply that couldn't be changed, I still foolishly fell in love with him, like a moth flying into the fire, jumped into the illusory love woven by him, and finally hurt myself, and I also offended Colin. I sacrificed my love and my youth during the five years, but I got nothing. Don't you think I'm pathetic?" Melissa looked up at Eric. When talking about this, her heart ached again. Her facial muscles twitched, and she was about to cry. Her eyes were also full of endless sadness unconsciously.

Looking at her, Eric tried to say something, but only to find his throat as heavy as if it had swallowed stone. He wanted to pat her on the shoulder to comfort her, but in the end he didn't move. He secretly

clenched his fists, bearing it.

Melissa continued to say with sadness. "I don't believe in love any more after I broke up with Colin. So I won't fall in love with anyone or have a relationship with anyone in the next three to five years. What if... It must be faked if I fell in love with someone else, and it must be against my own wish, because I can't fall in love with another man in such a short time. I hate Colin, but I still love him in my heart. I can't let him go in such a short time! I know I shouldn't do that. I am so cheap. But I just can't help... "

"Enough!" Eric interrupted her abruptly and irritably, as if he had been infuriated by her. In a cold voice, he said, "I don't want to hear that, so you don't have to say it anymore!"

At this moment, a strong feeling of sorrow flooded over her. Melissa hadn't analyzed her own thoughts so deeply. She hated Colin so much that she wanted to get rid of him and break up with him. But deep down in her heart, she still loved him. She loved him. She couldn't let him go easily! If she was not cheap, what was she?

However, only when she told Eric her inner thoughts in such a naked way could she stimulate him, stimulate his man's self-esteem and make him let her go. Because no man would be so foolish to love a woman who was not likely to love him. This was a matter of dignity, not to mention such an outstanding man like Eric. He should cherish his self-esteem more than other men.

Her words stimulated Eric. In a cold voice, he asked, "why did you tell me that? How you related to Colin has nothing to do with me!"

Melissa was trying her emotions and suppress her grief and said, "I'm just... I don't want you to help me anymore. I don't want you to... I don't want you to get yourself into trouble for me, at the same time, I don't want your career to be affected by me. You appreciate my talent and I am grateful, but I don't want to succeed through a man. I have lived so shameful in the past five years that I almost lost everything for a man. Therefore, in the rest of my life, I only hope that I can work hard and succeed on

my own. At least, I don't rely on a man to get the position. Even if I meet some one wants to help, I hope they all appreciate me by accident, not... You are so unclear with me. There are too many rumors outside. Even if we are innocent, people won't believe it. There must be someone to doubt me, right? But I don't want to be mentioned that I can only live on men. So I really want to try my best to get rid of the humiliation in the past five years. Can you understand my feeling? "

Melissa raised her head and looked at him sincerely, "I'm sorry, I let you down, but I just can't accept it your good will. So today, I really have to let you down. Please sign your contract with Anna. If you really want to help me, please sign it with Anna. Because Zack will thank me for helping me get other resources. And he will arrange a play contract for me through the company's common way, so that I can get on track. Please! Thank you so much! I'm sorry, but I hope you can understand my feelings! "

Eric just looked at her quietly, his mouth still closed tightly, as if he were suppressing his emotions. In the end, Eric couldn't stand any longer. Not wanting to look into Melissa's eyes, he lowered his head and wore the sunglasses. When he looked at her through the sunglasses, he had become cool and unapproachable as a big star. After a long while, he said, "I respect your decision!"
