Chapter 19 Self-respect
Melissa followed Eric to the hotel. However, Eric's location in this hotel was exposed. All of his fans rushed to the hotel and
waited for him at the entrance for a long time. The entrance of the hotel was crowded with fans. The agent of Eric looked at
Melissa and thought they couldn't come in like this. Wasn't the previous gossip not big enough? So the agent called the manager
of the hotel and asked him to go through the employee channel.
Eric didn't say anything. After all, he saved some energy by avoiding his fans. But when the agent told him to go into the hotel
separately with Melissa, Eric was a little displeased and said, "It's nothing shameful, why do you hide it so hard!"
Eric's agent was a little bit girlish, but such a girlish man had become the most famous agent in the industry. He showed orchid
finger and said: "Hey, Eric, you don't know that fans like you who are single all the time. That's why they dream of having lovers.
If they see you bring young girl into the hotel, what will they think? There are a lot of journalists waiting outside to catch your
scandal. How can you let them make up stories? "
"I don't care what the fans think. I was acting on my own." It doesn't matter if I don't become their dream lover. Now I've changed
my profession and I'm no longer a female idol! "
The agent shook his head and said, "You're wrong. Although you've changed your job now, you have great potential in the
teenager market. How can you not care about this market?"
Eric was annoyed. When he was about to say something, Melissa said, "Eric, you may leave now. I'll come later." In the
meantime, she gave him a few comforting eyes to stop Eric from retorting.
Eric had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, I'll go in first. Then you can come in with my agent. He will tell me where to meet
me."
Then with the secret cover of bodyguard and assistant, Eric entered the employee passageway without being noticed by
anybody.
His agent, John, was still in the car. He suddenly turned around and stared at Melissa with her narrow eyes, which made Melissa
confused. Then he suddenly said coldly with female voice, "You can go now!"
"What?" Melissa still didn't know.
John continued saying coldly, "Didn't you hear what I told you to go away? Do I not know you are a bad woman? Since Eric is a
famous star now, many women want to play up to Eric. You envy it, is it? That's why you want an affair with my Eric. There are a
lot of ways to get money and position in our family. But I despise people like you the most. Even if you want to make love,
nobody will say anything about you. Don't ever try to destroy my Eric! "
Melissa didn't know how to say. It turned out that the agent was looking down upon her and thought she was expected to make a
stir with Eric! But she had no interest in Eric at all. She didn't want to hype her relationship with him by saying that she was
entangled with him? Besides, did he came to her first? Anyway, up to now, she didn't want to have any contact with film king.
Since his agent had driven her away, there was no need to stay. Then Melissa said with a mocking smile, "Thank you very much.
I don't want to go inside with Eric and let a lot of people see us. Or I can be stained." So she got off the car and said, "Bye!" Then
she left.
Even in the worst time of her life, she was a woman with integrity. She would never beg others humbly like before, let alone he
hated her so much, wouldn't he?
But sometimes Melissa felt that she was too tough to compromise. For example, when she just agreed to stay with Colin, Colin
had many resources. If she had persuaded him to use it to help her, she might be famous now. But she didn't want others to
think that there was a boss behind her or her parents to discover her deal. As a result, she kept silent even thought she was
blocked by Colin. For example, she could have taken advantage of Eric to hype up. After all, Eric was so famous that the power
of his hype was so great that it was even more popular than she had played in ten TV series. However, because of the words
from his agent, she would not be very enthusiastic about sticking to him and begging him for mercy. So she would rather leave in
anger.
In this circle, if one didn't bow to others or make compromise, he or she would be trampled to death!
In the following days, Melissa finally became totally relax. She lived in the small apartment that Colin bought for her. Colin neither
called her nor texted her, nor did he look at her. He just watched her live on her own. As for Eric, they hadn't contacted each
other since she left without a word last time in the five-star hotel. Although there was news about Eric on TV every day and she
knew his whereabouts, he still didn't know where she was, so they didn't contact each other.
After resting for more than a week, when the swelling on the face recovered, Melissa began to find a way out. She called her
former agent, but Zack said with disdain, "Oh, you remember me now. Miss, I thought you've forgotten me long ago!"
Although Melissa heard the malicious mockery in his tone, she still held her breath and said calmly, "Zack, how dare I forget
you? You are the one who started my career."
"Well, do you still remember that I took you to debut in the entertainment industry? Then who told me to get away at that time?"
"......" Melissa kept silent and didn't know what to say.
Zack asked, "What's wrong? What can I do for you now?"
Melissa hesitated for a long time. She clenched her fists and finally failed to bear it. Then she said indifferently, "Nothing..."
At that moment, Zack was very angry. He felt like he had been tricked. He said in a disgusted tone, "Humph! If you don't have
anything important to tell me, just don't call me. Don't you know that I'm busy? "Anna is waiting for me to announce this news for
her!" Then he hung up the phone.
Listening to the news on the phone coldly, Melissa suddenly felt that the world was so far away from her. At the beginning, Zack
had cultivated three new comers and the most important thing for him was to offer her all good resources. However, since he had
quarreled with her and she was blocked by Colin that year, he didn't talk to her anymore. Besides, he had made a name with
another new comer, Anna, who made a debut with her at the same time.
What else did she have in this world?
Melissa felt powerless. She wouldn't beg Colin, even if the world was cruel enough for her! Suddenly, a vicious idea struck
Melissa!
