Chapter 116 (Part Two)

As a senior executive asked Melissa to sit down, she sat on the chair opposite the door, upright. Those
people looked at her, but talked to each other in small groups. They probably talked with each other
about her impression.

Melissa did the same thing to them and remained silent for a long time. But Zack, who was sitting on
the right side of her, was nervous and held his ten fingers tightly on the table, trembling. Perhaps he
was just afraid that these leaders might have some problems with Melissa.

About one minute later, the chairman sitting at the head of the desk finally spoke, "Are you Melissa?"

Melissa responded, "Yes, boss."

Tapping the desk with his pen, the director said, "Tell me what happened between you and Eric. Why
did it happen yesterday? And I heard Colin was present. What happened among you, Eric and Colin?"

The first question to Zack was terrifying. Perhaps it was not a big deal, or perhaps it was a pretty big
deal. Melissa had become a popular star in the entertainment circle because of Eric. But what Eric had
said really made people feel a little uncomfortable. If he took her as his junior sister and wanted to
support Melissa, perhaps the company would fear that Melissa would leave the company with Eric.
Now, there was something that Mr. Colin was involved and it was even more serious. Colin held most
of the power in the domestic entertainment circle and no one dared to offend him.

Although Melissa was very nervous, she forced herself to calm down and told the truth about what had
happened the other day. She also explained her relationship with Eric because she knew that she
couldn't hide it from the leaders. It was better to tell the truth than hide it from them. But she tried her
best to patch up her story and hide her relationship with Colin, so she only concluded the conflicts
between Eric and Colin. Eric wanted to deal against Colin so that he decided to support her.



After she said that, Melissa thought it was not appropriate for her to do so, so she added, "Eric will sign
a contract with US's economic company in the near future. In addition, due to his popularity and
financial resources, he is capable of dealing against Colin. At least, you can let him take responsible if
anything happens!" "You cannot worry that Colin would make trouble for the company."

The pen of the chairman of the board was still pounding on the table with a little strength, but quite
rhythmic. While listening to very calm and stable and feeling that the pen hit her heart, she became
inexplicably nervous.

Zack explained, "Boss, since Melissa said so, we're not afraid of Mr. Colin at all. After all, we have
Eric." It wasn't easy for Zack to have such a star in his hands to stand out. Of course he would strive for
an opportunity. He wouldn't let the management be suspicious and snub her. It was a pity!

The chairman of the board said flatly, "Do you want to go with Eric?" "But after all, Eric is not a man in
GY Group!"

These words were meaningful. If Melissa couldn't explain clearly, it would be easy to say that Melissa
had betrayed the company.

Melissa said coldly, "Whether I stay or leave depends on your decision, doesn't it?"

The president of the board of directors slightly smiled, which was unpredictable. He said faintly, "Yeah,
your whereabouts naturally depend on our words in GY Group. Your contract is still in the hand of GY
Group. GY Group skill can make you famous, and of course, can deal with you!" "It all depends on
what Melissa would like us to do to you."

Hearing Hiram's words, Zack felt there was something wrong with it. He looked at boss. The other
managers agreed with him and didn't have any disagreement. All of them looked at Melissa
simultaneously.



Clenching her fists, Melissa looked into the eyes of the chief executive and said, "Then……" "What do
you want me to do?"

"Nothing special. It's just that, according to the old rules, every popular star who was supported by the
company needs to sign another contract with GY Group. This is the revised agreement of the company.
Melissa, take it and see if it's appropriate!"

The secretary brought the contract to them. Melissa and Zack all had a look at it. The contract was the
same as the previous one. There were only a few changes in it. Her salary increased a little. Once she
can get three in ten. Now she can get four in ten. If it was a little higher, the profit would be much higher
in the future. Moreover, the company would give her the best resources for female lead standards.

However, with high income, she also had to pay the price. She had to strictly follow the company's
orders, especially the negotiation with Eric. Otherwise, it would be considered a violation of the contract
and she had to pay the liquidated damages. Her contact with her was changed from 8 years to 13
years, which meant that she had to sign an additional 5-year contact with the company.

She could tell that she was bound to work for GY Group. They just wanted to support her, but they was
afraid that she would leave with Eric after she became famous. And even they also was afraid that they
were wasting their time. So they wanted to sign more agreements with her. They wanted to her be
hidebound by the contract with GY Group. She had no many years of experience as an artist. And
there was no time to waste. If she continued to sign a contract for 5 years. When the contract was due,
she was already 30 years old. If she had already left at that time, she wouldn't have been able to make
a scene. The people in GY Group have planned it well. Moreover, she was a skilled cook!

Zack laughed after reading the contract because it was good for him. After reading the contract,
Melissa smiled coldly in her heart, but she kept calm on the surface. She looked up at the chairman
and asked, "What if I don't want to sign the contract?"



With a calculating smile on his face, the other executives began to gossip. "Chason, don't be silly. What
we do is all for your own good," said Croft angrily

The chairman of the board clapped the contract close and everyone suddenly quieted down. When
everyone thought the chairman was going to be angry, the chairman just smiled and said, "It's okay if
you don't sign it. But our company has the company's rules. If you sign this contract, you can enjoy the
treatment of a first-line actress. If you don't sign it, you can get a second-line capital source at most. At
the same time, you have to compete with many female stars for this resources. Melissa, you are just
lucky enough to get it. If the fire hadn't been started, it would be difficult to consolidate its status." "If
Melissa wants to rely on Eric to achieve your fame, then ……" With a faint smile, the director of the
board said in a somewhat cold tone, "Don't forget that you are a person in GY Group. If you are not
allowed by GY Group, you can't go out with Eric even if he asks you to do so. There are legal
restrictions for you to do that. Melissa, please think it over!"

Melissa kept silent. She knew that although the chairman said these words in a gentle way, he actually
had threatened her. If she didn't sign this contract, then he planned to abandon her. After all, no
company would go back to pick up an actress whose contract was about to expire. Moreover, this
actress had a close relationship with the stars from other companies. Entertainment companies were
all bloodsuckers. No one would do such a silly thing.

Melissa knew the situation and didn't want to disobey her boss. So she said, "Then I'll think about it for
a few days……" "It's an important matter. I will tell my family about it later."

The chairman nodded and said, "Okay, then give Melissa three days to think about it. I hope you can
make an answer as soon as possible. Otherwise, the company can't arrange the event at hand. It's not
good for Melissa to answer it later."

Melissa nodded.



Without greeting her, the chairman announced the meeting was dismissed. Then he stood up and
walked out, followed by his secretary. The other managers also got up and left. When they left, they
almost glanced at Melissa with inexplicable weird expression in their eyes.

Zack greeted them with nod and bow. After they all left, he said to Melissa, "What's wrong with you?
Why didn't you agree such a good chance?" "Do you know how many people want to sign that
contract? Anna has been waiting for it for many years. When she gets popular, she doesn't get any
respect by the company. Today the chairman has held a special meeting for you, but you still refuse.
What do you want?"

Of course, Melissa wouldn't tell Zack that she didn't want to work for GY Group at all, because she
didn't think the pattern of the GY Group was suitable for her at all. In addition, they badly squeezed to
the newcomers. Although by the time when she signed the contract, it was fairly low for her. It was said
that the newcomers who signed the contract now were lower than her. Besides, once she became a
popular star, she would be forced to overwork. As a result, she had to work hard all the year round.

The entertainment company's operation mode was still the way of "earning money". It had no far-
reaching plans. No wonder that this company hadn't produced several popular stars for so many years.
Except for Junia, nobody else was good. Comparing with Eric's company, it was much worse in GY
Group. Therefore, Melissa had long wanted to resign. She had waited for the past five years. It was not
until her contract was about to expire that she finally agreed to work in another company. She was
unwilling to resign.

So Melissa said, "Zack, I'm tired. Let's call it a day. We'll talk about the contract tomorrow."

Zack gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, you can't leave the GY Group. If you have any other
idea, you'd better give up!"



Lowering her head in silence, Melissa thought that anyway, she'll leave the company. She, Melissa
won't die in this little place in her life! She had a lot of plans to do and it was impossible if she stayed in
GY Group. Besides, if she stayed in GY Group, she had to be controlled by Colin, which was the main
reason that she couldn't bear.

If she needed revenge on Colin and wanted to look down to Colin, how could she work for the company
by control of Colin?
