Chapter 124 (Part Two)

After a moment's silence, Eric finally spoke, "what do you mean?"

He tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, but she could still hear that he sounded nervous and at
a loss, which confirmed what she was thinking. But considering his prestige, she didn't want to force
him to say it out at once. After all, self-esteem was a very important thing for men. She said calmly, "I
don't need you to answer me now. You can think it over and give me an answer when you go to the
crew." After a pause, she took a deep breath and forced herself to say something against her will. "Eric,
you're a good man. If you are looking forward a sweet love. To be honest, I'm looking forward to falling
in love with you too."

Then she hung up the phone slowly while Eric was in shock. She didn't want to talk too much, so she
just gave the man some time to think by himself. If the reason why Eric treated her well was because
he wanted to pursue her, she wouldn't mind at all, because she could use him to stimulate Colin, which
would achieve her goal of getting rid of Colin forever.

In this battle, she had to sacrifice her true feelings in order to get rid of Colin and get her own freedom.
Since she and Eric would both get what they needed, she decided to make use of each other.

In the next three days, Eric didn't call her or text her even one message. Melissa knew that he needed
some time to think, so she didn't call him. In these three days, she secretly went to the hospital to see
her father, who was in hospital preparing for the surgery. Of course, she secretly peeked at him in a
corner. Her father didn't want to see her, and she didn't want to stimulate him either. She was relieved
to see that her mother took good care of her father. She put a bunch of flowers and a basket of apple
on the door of his father's ward and quietly left.

Her father was well, her mother was well, and everything was good in her family. She was very
relieved.



Then she spent the rest of her time in the company. The company had hired a makeup artist and an
assistant, and a designer to determine the characteristics of her makeup and study her development
path. Looking at her appearance and the way she acted in the past, they wanted to set her up a pure
path for like a goddess. But Melissa rejected. She didn't think she was young enough. This line was not
suitable for her age and would still limit her acting career. Then the planner suggested that she should
be sexy. After all, she had a curvy figure. But Melissa refused, perhaps her parents wouldn't agree with
it, for she didn't like to wear too much skin or show off.

After a discussion with Zack and the planner, they finally decided to let her work as the queen, so she
would dress up in a mature and elegant style like that of the European style. Melissa thought it was a
good way. It was her favorite type. If she wanted to play the movies, the queen style could let her get
more characters, so she said yes. Then she asked the dressers, hairdressers, and clothing artists to do
the job for her in turn. It had almost been a day's work. She had been doing the makeup for the whole
day. When the pictures were okay, she was amazed by herself. The woman in the pictures looked
completely different from who she had been. She had become mature and more attractive. Her star
power had grown. Clothes made the man and makeup made the beauty!

After working for another two days, Zack took her to sign a contract with director Li. The work started
the next day. It was a very large-scale film. It was a collection of senior and second line actors, talented
and idol. Director Li was a famous director in the TV circle, so many actors supported him in this martial
arts TV series. Many famous actors came here, and Eric was the most famous one, and this was Eric's
first time to shoot TV series in three years. Owing to Eric's efforts, Melissa was also a big focus to join
the cast.

What was more, within a week, there was a rumor about her relationship with Eric spread fast. It was
widely believed that she was Eric's girlfriend. Moreover, some people also exposed her relationship
with Eric, including the fact that Colin had sealed that Eric had fight for her, which had been known to
the public. For a moment, everyone was convinced. By then they had known that she and Eric had



known each other for a long time. They were more certain that she was Eric's underground lover.
Otherwise, Eric wouldn't have treated her that well.

Melissa had predicted all these things, because she knew that Mrs. Fannie would certainly expose
them. If Mrs. Fannie didn't expose it, how could Mrs. Fannie promote her relationship with Eric, and
how could they stimulate Colin? Therefore, on the day she entered the crew, she was well prepared to
face the crazy crowd and the curious eyes of the crowd. She was also calm as usual.

She was wearing a big sunglasses and a European style trench coat. With her hands in her trouser
pockets, she walked quietly under the protection of bodyguards. Even in the face of the crowd of
reporters, she remained silent and didn't answer any question. Without saying a word, she walked into
the crew indifferently. For this reason, Zack praised her for that she had learned the excellent
performance at such a short time.

But when she faced the curiosity of other actors or staff in the casting group, she was also calm, and
greeted or smiled when it was necessary, but she didn't answer any of their tentative questions or say
anything vague. She had protected herself well and she would not be as simple as before.

But Melissa didn't expect that she would see Colin on the boot ceremony. Colin let Junia hold his
hands, and they walked on the red carpet of the boot ceremony, like a perfect match and made
everyone jealous.
