Kiss me tender

Chapter 43 (Part Two)

What Zack said was meaningful. After thinking for a while, Melissa knew that Zack learned that she had made a scene outside and she had acted supporting role in a martial arts drama. He also knew that Sophia had privately punished her and slapped her. But even if he knew it, he didn't care about it. This entertainment circle was so realistic. If you were not famous, no one would still care about you.

Sad as she was, Melissa merely nodded and said, "Okay."

"What do you mean by 'yes'?" Zack urged her.

Melissa didn't answer her, but looked down at the cooperation rules. It was very detailed. It didn't seem to cheat people.

But Zack also laughed and said, "There's another thing I want to tell you." In order to support your endorsement, our company had launched many advertising plans. Anna should take part in the preheat stage to promote your advertisement. You also know that Anna is more popular and more influential than you, so if she help you preheat the ad, more people will follow and the exposure would be even higher! "Ha-ha!"

"Pa!" Suddenly, Melissa threw the contract on the table and looked up at Zack coldly, "Why should Anna preheat my advertisement and promote it for me?"

After pausing for a second, Zack laughed and said, "I've told you that. Anna is much more popular than you. If you are led by her, more attention will be attracted! "For your own good."

"Is that for my good?" Melissa sneered, "Zack, if you want to please Anna with my advertisement, just say it. Or you would rather replace me with Anna?" "Why did you ask me to go back to the company? You can ask Anna to contact Eric's agent directly. Isn't it better to sign a contract?" She tried her best to rush back to the company, but she found that it was totally a trap. Zack just wanted to use her as a bait to deceive Eric first. Then he asked Anna to sign the contract with him and at last kicked her out.

Although she knew that her agent was biased in favor of Anna, she didn't know it was so. Zack was very nice to her five years ago. At that time, she was the most popular and most potential new comer among the candidates he brought to the company. She even treated him as her lucky man and appreciated him. But she didn't expect that he only took Anna's company and even took her advertisement away from her. He was kind to Anna!

For a moment, Melissa felt a little sad about Zack's attitude towards her. She also felt sad that she was cheated to work in the company as a wedding dress to Anna. Thinking of this, she couldn't calm down and secretly clenched his fists.

Seeing Melissa's attitude, Zack knew that she was angry, but he still smiled and said, "Melissa, tell me. Was I nice to you before?" I didn't treat you badly, did he? You said I was your lucky man! However…… You are always like this…… "Is you treating your lucky man like this?" Zack tried to make his tone sound approachable and smiled, pretending that he had something to negotiate with her, "It's just an advertisement, isn't it?"

It was just an advertisement.

At the same time, Melissa sneered and looked back at him. She saw that Zack was smiling like a begging puppy. She had never seen such a face in the past. She took him as her luck star. But now, she got to know him. So she asked coldly, "What do you want?"

Zack put his hands on the conference table with his fingers crossed. He bowed his head and thought for a while, then frowned as if he was in a dilemma. He then said to Melissa, "Melissa, it's not my fault, but that I'm telling you the truth. The decision is made by the company…… The company thought Anna are more popular than you, so I decided to change you!"

After a pause, he thought that his words might be cruel, so Zack continued to comfort her, "Look, you've been stopping acting for five years. I'm afraid that fans don't remember you at all." Nowadays

has changed a lot. The entertainment industry's stars are even more popular than the new changes in the fashion industry. Do you know how many people are still in the screen of the stars who became famous five years ago? If they are active, they have still been popular. So it's a cruel fact in the entertainment circle. If you are not famous, no one will be supportive of you because you are not outstanding enough. You can't earn money for the company. Why do the company have to spend time on those who are not famous?"

"Do you mean that I am not famous, so I have no right to take this advertisement?" "Even Eric came to our company to seek cooperation with me, but I couldn't accept it." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Melissa suddenly felt ridiculous. It was her opportunity, but she had to give it to others. Because she didn't become popular and couldn't earn too much money. Did she have to give it to others even if she had the chance?

She had hesitated whether she should pick up the advertisement from Eric or not when she came to the company. But at the moment, when she saw the overbearing manner of Zack, she suddenly wanted to take it. It was her advertisement. Even if she didn't want it, she would not let others grab it! Melissa felt angry. She decided to accept the advertisement and fight at least for dignity!
