Kiss me tender

Chapter 146 (Part Two)

After receiving the newspaper, Melissa just glanced at the picture and title, without looking at the content. She put it down, because she knew what the title would say. This news was undoubtedly a sensational news, so in just a dozen minutes, the entire crew had been talking about it crazily. Everyone was talking about it. Melissa was about to ask for help from Zack to see if the company had any orders. But when she found that he was talking happily on the phone, Melissa didn't go to him. Instead, she left quietly.

Other actors and actresses were still shooting the scenes in the crew. Although the makeup was done, she had nothing else to do for the time being, so she went to watch the scene near the studio. But the staff around her looked at her strangely, even pointed at her and whispered about something.

Melissa knew what they were talking about, but she could only pretend that nothing had happened. Some words were heard by her and the people around her. All of them didn't know whether the two makeup artists had done it on purpose or not. They just said indifferently, "What is simple love? Do you believe there is any hyped love in the entertainment circle?" "Poor Eric! He's a man of high status, but he's been framed by someone." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The other woman giggled and said, "Do you remember Joy?" They know that the model in Taiwan was in a relationship with Jonathan and she had not been very famous for that before and even nobody heard of her. Later, someone exposed their bed photos online and she immediately became popular."

"Not only Joy." "Stars can be horrible, especially female stars. They will do anything to hype up."

"I feel pity for our best actor, Eric. He has been my idol for so many years. How could he be so silly this time? He was even framed and used for hype."

Melissa finally couldn't stand it and looked back at the two makeup artists. Maybe it was because of the coldness in her eyes, or the unwillingness on her face that the two makeup artists spit out their tongue and left. One of them even rolled her eyes, as if not taking Melissa's warning seriously.

Looking at them leaving, Melissa suddenly felt sad. There were even two small make-up artists in the casting group who dared to speak ill of her behind her back, not to mention the senior staff and even the actors. Nobody knew what they would think of her. Besides, others all stared at her in this way. What would Evan think?

Although Melissa believed in Eric's character, there were a lot of unexpected things in the world. Although Mencius's mother didn't believe that her son had killed people for the first time, she began to doubt it after hearing it for the second time. After hearing it for the third time, she believed it. She was afraid that the government would arrest her son, so she fled while collecting her belongings. It was like that even the nature of kinship between mother and son, not mention to when she was in a relationship with Eric. They had just established a relationship for a short time and the entertainment circle was full of gossip and the media was all in a mess. If Eric had heard too much of it, he would probably have a bad idea on her.

Actually, Melissa wasn't afraid of being misunderstood by Eric. Instead, she was afraid that he would break his heart and give up on her. What she was scared of most was that she really didn't want to hurt such a good man like him!

And director Li came over during his break and said to those gossipy women, "What are you talking about, you do have plenty of time. Go to work now!"

Those people were afraid of the authority of director Li, so they scattered like birds. And director Li walked up to Melissa and said, "Leave them alone. Women are all like that. They are all jealous of women who have a lot of different kinds of topics. Besides, Eric is an excellent man. It's natural that they are jealous of you."

Not knowing what to say, Melissa bowed her head and said to the director, "I'm sorry, director. I'm afraid I have caused you trouble." "I saw that the security guards on the film set have increased. There must be a lot of reporters surrounding the gate, right?"

However, director Li waved his hand and said, "There was Eric and there are reporters following him wherever he go. Don't take it seriously." "But Melissa……" The director called her name in an intimate tone on purpose. From the way he called her, Melissa knew that the director had something to ask for her, so she nodded. The director asked again, "What are you going to do with Eric?" But now…… "It has already been such a mess. If we don't solve it early, Eric and you won't be at ease to shoot. Moreover, you have seen so many reporters following us all day long, which is also a big obstacle……" That was to say, Melissa and Eric should make an announcement to the public as soon as possible to let the public know that they had been in a relationship or they clarified a rumor. In this case, the cast would get distracted and crew members would have no time or energy to cope with the reporters as there were so many people around.

Melissa understood director Li's feelings, so she nodded and said, "I know. I'll explain to the public later. Now I'm waiting for the company's arrangement. So director Li, you can rest assured that I won't affect the progress of the shooting."

"I didn't mean that……" However, director Li was a little embarrassed. Melissa's confession was too straightforward, so he felt embarrassed to say anything more.

At this moment, the vice director suddenly shouted, "Director, director, Eric arrived. He has come back to the film crew!"

Startled, Melissa raised her head and saw Eric wearing sunglasses, his agent Woody and two assistants, rushing into the studio under the protection of a large group of bodyguards. At that moment, through Eric's cold face, Melissa suddenly became nervous. She couldn't guess his mood, nor did she know what order his company had given him.
