Chapter 220 We Are Friends Now (Part One)

A week later, the shooting of director Li's play was finished on time. Melissa finally finished the role of
Lara. It took more than a month, and the shooting part was finished. The rest was post production,
mending or dubbing. Besides, after the shooting of the whole crew was finished, she had to cooperate
with the crew to attend the promotion of each scene.

Melissa was the number three actress in the play. Although she had a lot of scenes, because of the
care of Colin, the director shoot for her first after the shooting of the main characters and big shots, so
she finished it faster than other actors. After she left the crew, the whole play might need to shoot for
two months to finish. Therefore, the promotion period and dubbing would be held two months later.
During this period, Melissa felt much more relaxed.

In her schedule, director Li's play took up the most time and was also the most difficult one for her to
act. The remaining plays directed by Billy were very few. There was another urban love drama,
although it was also a female supporting role, because she didn't have to fly around with the wire, nor
did she need to learn martial arts from the martial arts teacher, it would be easy to shoot. In addition,
she had a new TV series of Republic of China, which was suggested by Eric. Eric said that after
shooting a movie of director Billy, the shooting of the Republic of China TV series could go deep into
the audience's impression of her, or they would always be unable to get a deep impression of her. And
she would not have a complete location, so Eric was afraid that the audience couldn't remember her.
She could take advantage of director Billy's performance to strengthen it in the Republic of China's TV
series first, and then extend it to other movies, so she accepted it.

In Melissa's opinion, Eric's words were quite credible. After all, he had been in the entertainment circle
for so many years, and he must have his unique vision and judgment to achieve this position.

The second night after the completion of Lara's role was the charity dinner mentioned by Zack. It was
not as coincident as it was. She had just finished the most important part of the play, which made her
relax a lot, so she had the energy to deal with the charity dinner.



The charity party was very grand. Many stars would come. It was the first time that Melissa walked on
the red carpet since she came back. Because of her recent popularity, everyone would pay attention to
her, so she was very cautious about attending this party. She was afraid that she would make a
mistake and make the media laugh at her. She had to think carefully about the donated supplies and
the dress that night.

Unfortunately, because she had raised medical fees for her father last time, Melissa had sold all the
valuable things in her house. Although Colin had given her some more, they were the crystallization of
their love, so of course she didn't dare to sell them. So she thought it over and didn't know what to
donate.

Coincidentally, Colin called her. Colin was on a business trip these days, so he could only call her from
time to time. "I heard that you are going to attend a charity dinner tonight?"

"Yes, it's the annual charity dinner of stars. It's very grand. I'm wondering what I should donate."

"Are you going to donate the things I gave you?"

"How is that possible?" Melissa denied immediately. Although she had sold all the things that Colin
gave her in the past, they were not glorious to her, so it was not a pity to sell them. But after they fell in
love, the meaning of his new gifts to her were different. How could she sell it?

Hearing this, Colin was satisfied, but he still asked her, "Then what do you want to donate? Do you
need me to call the company's financial department to send you a check of one million and let you to
donate it tonight? "

"Swoosh... How could I ask for your money?" Melissa sneered. That one million is not my money. I can
at most donate it for you, but it will never be in my name. I will figure it out myself. "



"Are we still going to be that clear? You will be mine sooner or later, Mrs. Ling! " Colin teased her with
this appellation.

Melissa shook her hand showed her disagree. "Mrs. Ling is your mother! Anyway, don't get involved in
my business. I'll figure it out myself. At the worst, I will donate all the payment for the past three
months, which is more than one hundred thousand. "

With this in mind, Melissa came up with an idea. She didn't have to donate jewelry for the auction like
other stars. It was not bad to donate real money. She had made more than one hundred thousand
dollars for the movie and advertising endorsement this month. She could donate it all.

Being a star sometimes was quite poor. Although she made a lot of money, she also spent a lot of
money, because she had to buy a lot of clothes, jewelry, cosmetics and maintenance products. Just
this time, for the charity dinner, Melissa spent tens of thousands of dollars from clothes to jewelry. If she
went out for a walk, those things would be scrapped. She couldn't wear them for the second time in the
future. She could only wait to give them to others or ask the company to sell them out.

However, no matter how poor she was, she was still unwilling to ask Colin for a penny. This was a
matter of dignity. At the same time, no matter how poor she was, she had to donate, and she couldn't
donate less, because she was a star, a celebrity. A celebrity should set an example, otherwise how
could she attract other people's attention to charity? That was what her parents taught her since she
was a child.

After chatting with Colin for a while, Colin asked, "What do you want to wear tonight? Didn't I order a
Chinese dress for you before I left? How about that one? You look very beautiful in it, just like a
goddess. Let everyone know that my woman is really beautiful! "

"Do you want me to tell everyone clearly that I have a powerful background? It is not long since I
started my career, I could wear an evening dress designed by a famous designer in Italy. It is



handmade and worth millions. Who will believe that I am so rich? So this is an excuse for everyone to
talk about me."

"Can't my woman show off her wealth? I like to see you dressing up noble and beautiful, and this
evening dress is really tailor-made for you to walk the red carpet this time... "

"Thank you, Mr. Colin!" Before Colin could finish his words, Melissa refused, "But I have my own way of
doing things. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it!"

"Self-contained!" Colin scolded her, but he didn't force her. He just said, "I'll be back tonight. Maybe I
can go to the party to see you!"

"Well, I see. If there is nothing else, I will hang up. You have called me several times a day. You are
really free!" Then Melissa hung up the phone in the laughter of Colin.

After taking a deep breath, Melissa went to the wardrobe to look for clothes. After looking at the several
evening dresses recommended by the stylist, she finally chose a relatively low-key white fishtail
evening dress, which was noble and not easy to make mistakes. The most taboo to wear clothes on
the red carpet was to be too exaggerated and shocking. Melissa didn't want to be outstanding, her
attitude was absolutely not to be laughed at. Of course, her hair was in a traditional place, with platinum
inlaid crystal earrings, necklace of the same style, flower ring, and a middle grade designer handbag.
This would not be too exaggerated or too shabby.
