Kiss me tender

Chapter 74 (Part One)

Hearing her words, Eric knew that she had been motivated and she should be able to get out of the low spirit. So he sat down, patted her on the hand and said, "I'm relieved that you can speak like this. At least, your attitude is better than before!" "Remember, learn to get up when people fall down is the best thing, instead of in case someone falls down and you never get up again."

Melissa said coldly, "I'm not that kind of person. If I, known as Melissa, were such a coward, I would have died five years ago and I wouldn't be alive today." After such a great event happened five years ago, including her, her parents, and her family had undergone a great change. She was able to survive, so this time, she must get through it!

Eric replied with a gentle smile. He thought that she seemed to be dispirited in the last five years. She didn't attend any occasions, participate any entertainment programs, or even play in any TV series. Without a supporting role in any paly, she seemed to have disappeared from the screen.

When she played the female leading role of The Empress Woman, she had been famous for a long time. Her acting skills were also very good and were accepted by many seniors and directors. Everyone thought that she had a good career, but no one expected her to disappear after she finished that play. He couldn't find her after a long time. He thought she dropped out of the entertainment circle, but there was no news about her and it was a pity for her to be popular for a while. Because she would become a superstar if she continued to play the TV. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Later he met her by chance at an award ceremony. He could not believe that he could see her so easily since they hadn't seen each other for five years. Moreover, it was obvious that she had changed a lot at that time. She was thinner than before. She wore a low cut sexy evening dress with the back exposed and the hair up, showing her beautiful figure and more sexy figure. To his surprise, she was lighting a cigarette, blowing it dispiritedly.

At that time, he couldn't help but call her name and wanted to make sure if the woman was her. Unexpectedly, she turned around. But she didn't recognize him at once. Perhaps she didn't remember him, even though he was a popular star. So he felt a little disappointed and come out from the darkness. She looked him up and down again and finally recognized him. Then she called his name, "Eric!"

Eric didn't understand what was going on at that time. He had been looking for her for so many years and how he wished he could see her. But when he saw her, she had changed. She was no longer the girl he had been thinking of, but a decadent, sexy woman. He had a mixed feeling. He was so happy to see her at such an unexpected awarding dinner. But he was unhappy that he had changed after many years.

However, no matter how complex his mood was, the desire to see her was still very strong. So he walked out to see her, greedily looking at her. He wanted to let all his years of missing see her. At that time, however, Melissa had been rather cold to him. Perhaps she had really forgotten him. Perhaps it was because she had never had a feeling for him that she left without saying a word that night. But he didn't dare to go after her as the paparazzi were hunting her. So he let her go and they lost the chance to exchange further.

Since that night, there had been constant rumors of them, including the last time he helped her beat someone in the bar. Although Colin tried his best to suppress them, it was still difficult to suppress the public. There were still rumors among the ordinary people. There were rumors that entertainment journalists had hidden their names, using someone to refer to them. They showed that the super star had a fierce fight in bar while the woman was the main character of a popular ancient costume drama. So, a lot of fans in the gossips online guessed who the so-called female star and male star were. Many innocent stars were also involved in the event and were dragged into the trouble. Of course, some people guessed that Eric might be the one who had a fierce fight, but they lacked of evidence. So it hadn't become the main force of their guesses.

Nobody from the media or the people who knew the incident confirmed when people made groundless assumptions, so this thing ended. As a matter of fact, Eric had to thank Colin for dealing with the incident and preventing his public opinion from damaging his image. At the same time, it could be seen that how powerful Colin was. He could do everything he wanted in the entertainment circle. No media or paparazzi dared to offend him and no entertainment company dared to report his information.

Eric didn't know what had happened between Melissa and Colin five years ago. A pure female star and the largest villain in the entertainment circle stayed together. Seeing how much sadness it had brought to Melissa, he didn't know how to ask her. It was lucky that she had left Colin. And if she came to him, he would still have a chance to treat her well and to make her the same as she used to be as well as to be with her forever. She would be his woman!

Thinking about this, Eric reached out his hand and covered the quilt well to prevent her from catching a cold. Then he said, "It's not difficult to be a celebrity in this circle. It's easy for you to get famous with your great acting skill and beautiful appearance." At that time, director Liu said that you had a wide way of acting when you played The Empress Woman. With your face and inner potential, you would be able to play a lot of roles in the future. Even if you were not famous, you could still make a face to get familiar with it and you would continue to act. "So you don't need to worry too much. As long as Eric is here, you will have connections and I'll help you!"
