Chapter 371 A Dream-seeker

"I want to see Alice." Melinda looked at Jonas and said seriously. This time, she still couldn't get over it.

But Jonas had told Melinda clearly that the role this time might be played by Alice, so that she could be
mentally prepared.

In fact, Jonas also felt a little guilty about what had happened this time. He had been too busy recently,
so he had forgotten it.

He didn't expect that the news would be so bad this time.

"Let me make an appointment for you." After being silent for a long time, Jonas said slowly. In fact, he
had thought about it for a long time. He knew what kind of person Melinda was. Since they were going
to meet each other, he'd better make an appointment by himself. In this way, Melinda's safety would be
more guaranteed.

"Okay,"

Melinda agreed obediently. She thought it might be good to have Jonas as the bridge, and her purpose
of meeting Alice was simple. She just wanted to discuss this role with her.

What's more, she wanted to know why she took so much effort to get this role.

Ted was very efficient. Jonas just called him, and soon he arranged the security guards to protect
Melinda.

Although these people were selected by Ted, they still had to pass the test by Jonas.

The men he chose were not as tall and strong as what Melinda had known. They looked gentler.



However, these people satisfied Jonas very much. Then he asked a group of people to wear ordinary
clothes and scattered around Melinda, and the task of taking care of Melinda was handed over to the
servant.

Melinda was satisfied with Jonas's considerate arrangement, and he arranged the meeting very quickly.
He contacted Alice that day and said that Melinda wanted to see her.

Alice was surprised. Thinking of the recent news, she became indifferent again. Or she should have
known that she had already experienced Melinda's requirements of the heroine of the play.

"I'll drive you to the coffee shop downstairs of the company tomorrow afternoon. Call me if you need
anything, okay?"

However, Jonas was still worried about Melinda's health. He thought it would be better to be closer to
her. Coincidentally, Alice had no objection to this arrangement.

It could even be said that she took the initiative to say that she wanted to meet Melinda in a place near
Jonas's company. If Jonas didn't stop warning, Alice would guarantee that she wouldn't do anything to
Melinda.

"Okay." Jonas had agreed to so many requests, so Melinda was more obedient.

Her obedience made Jonas sigh again. It seemed that Melinda had been controlled by him, but in fact,
only he knew the truth.

On this day, Melinda's mood was finally relieved a lot, but she was also full of tension and expectation
for the second day. Finally, under the guidance of Jonas, she felt much better.

Seeing that Jonas was already very busy and had to spare so much time to comfort her, Melinda felt a
little guilty.



"Thank you, Jon." But at last the thousands of words had turned into three simple words, and the ones
in her heart, 'I love you'.

Melinda was shy in expressing her feelings. It could be said that chasing after Jonas was the boldest
thing she had ever done in her life.

"Well, it's not the time for you to coax me. Have a good sleep now. Don't go blank when you go to see
Alice tomorrow." Jonas tapped on Melinda's head and said helplessly.

He knew that there were still many grudges of Melinda to Alice, or Emily. When they met tomorrow,
they might also have a complicated feeling.

At the thought of facing Emily, Melinda's mood was indeed very complicated. At last, she just said
"Okay" lightly.

She habitually touched her belly and let the baby encourage herself.

Only when Melinda thought of the child would she feel that she was so invincible. As long as she could
protect the child well, nothing would scare her.

The next day, when Jonas sent Melinda to the place where they met, he went straight to the company.
But the coffee shop was instantly filled with people to protect Melinda, and they scattered everywhere.

Melinda was dressed in white clothes today, and it was very cold. She was tightly wrapped by Jonas,
fearing that she would catch a cold. Melinda was young, and with such clothes and her appearance,
she looked like a child who had sneaked out to play.

Of course, if one could ignore her big belly.

Seeing the pregnant woman, those people began to slow down. At this time, there were not many
people in the coffee shop.



In fact, Melinda didn't know that because Colson was worried about Alice, so he booked the whole
coffee shop. The people who could come in were either sent by him to protect Alice or arranged by
Jonas.

Alice was dressed in a pink suit, with her curly hair hanging down naturally. Although she wore a
natural make-up, her every move was seductive.

It was a familiar feeling for Melinda to see her almost at a glance.

But somehow she felt something different.

"Long time no see." Alice also noticed Melinda soon. She noticed Melinda's belly almost in an instant.
She remembered that it was not so big when she saw it last time.

How time flies. She was about to give birth.

Alice's eyes flashed a moment of trance, and then returned to her previous appearance. The smile on
her face was very bright, as if she was treating an old friend.

She said the same words when she saw Melinda and Jonas. Long time no see.

It had been a long time since she last saw them. Only when she saw these familiar faces could she feel
that she had been living in this world so vividly.

Faced with Alice, Melinda felt a little embarrassed. Finally, with the help of the servant, she sat down
carefully.

There was a cup of hot milk on the table. It could be seen that Alice was very careful. This was different
from before.



"Long time no see. I'm not feeling well now. I need someone to take care of me. Do you mind?"
Melinda said in a soft voice. In fact, her attitude was obvious. No matter she minded it or not, the
servant had to take care of her here.

"I don't mind,"

Alice said. To be honest, she was a little scared when she saw Melinda. Then she pointed at the milk
on the table and said, "I don't know what else you can eat, so I ordered a glass of milk."

"Thank you,"

said Melinda. She took the cup but didn't drink it. Then she put the cup aside, crossed her hands on the
table, and thought that there seemed to be no topic between her and Alice, so she cut to the chase.

"About my novel turning into a TV play, the heroine, can you give up?" Melinda asked straightforwardly.
There was no need for false civility between her and Alice.

Alice was a little surprised at her straightforwardness, and then she thought this was her style.

"I don't think I can give up, but I still have to apologize to you for this matter," Alice said, her eyes
darkened. She didn't expect that her relationship with Colson would be so easily found out.

Now, when she went to the company, all the expressions in people's eyes had changed. Her previous
efforts seemed to have become a joke at this time. Those people could deny everything of her by
saying that she was a mistress.

In this society, sometimes it was really pathetic. Alice also felt that she had really experienced too much
in the past two years.



Looking at Alice's expression, Melinda was a little surprised, which was a little different from Emily in
her impression. It could be said that Alice had changed a lot from the former Emily.

It was just that sometimes Melinda felt familiar, but she had changed too much in dealing with things.

In the past, how could Emily be so polite? If Emily won her, she would definitely show off.

"This role is not suitable for you," Melinda said. In fact, she also wanted to know why Alice had to be
entangled with this role in this way.

Although there were not many IP plays in the entertainment circle, there were also not less. According
to Alice's status, it was not difficult for her to get a better role. But why did she just tangle with her TV
play.

No matter when she was Emily or now Alice.

"How can you know if I don't give it a try?" Alice said. In the past, she wanted the main character of this
book only to oppose Melinda, but now she felt that the rebirth of the heroine in the book was somewhat
similar to her.

So she wanted to have a try.

But this was not the most important reason.

"Don't you have a good position now? Why are you still acting?" Melinda still couldn't understand what
Alice was thinking, but she didn't want to say anything since Alice did not want to say it out.

"It's very simple. I have to rely on this role to return to this circle with this identity. Your novel is a very
good chance for me, and Jonas will definitely spend a lot of money in it. So in any way, it is definitely
the best choice."



Alice spoke out her purpose. Hearing her words, Melinda instantly felt her ambition. The former Emily
had become a rat across the street and had no chance to be in the entertainment circle anymore, but
now it was different.

She had a new identity, and with this identity, she could complete what she had never been able to do.

Hearing this, Melinda felt sorry for Alice. She thought she was a pure dream-seeker now.

However, even so, Melinda would not persuade herself to hand over the heroine of the novel easily to
her and make it become her stepping stone.
