Kiss me tender
Chapter 86 (Part One)

At this moment, Zack suddenly laughed. Melissa was confused about what he was laughing. Besides, Melissa was a little nervous at the sight of him. She didn't want her mind to be seen through. But Zack didn't say anything else. He raised one of his eyebrows, looked at Melissa and asked, "what resources do you want me to give you? Eric's resources? Aren't you getting along well with Eric? If so, why do you still want to grab the resources from me?"

His words made Melissa's heart sink. Was her words didn't work? Or did he still want to be with the stupid Anna who had no future?

So Melissa said, "do you think a woman can succeed if she always relies on men? Yes, I do have something to do with Eric, but it's not appropriate to ask him to help me in everything. Besides, Eric is a star and he will think about his career. He will never bring a nameless female star to drag me down, and his agent, and his company, will not agree, will they? What's more, I really don't understand why you are unwilling to help me.

Melissa looked at him seriously, as if to see some faith in his eyes. Then she continued, "you're my manager, so there will be no loss if you help me. Besides, I'm not worse than Anna. It doesn't matter that you only give me a little resources. Why don't you help me? In the entertainment industry, the manager and the artist share weal and woe. You are so good, you must know it. Since we have such a great opportunity, why don't you give it a try? Are you not afraid that a penny of gold is wasted, which will waste your life at the same time?"

Zack laughed again, he looked at Melissa more and more sharply. "You're becoming more and more eloquent. I didn't think you're eloquent at the beginning, but now you've changed? Indeed, I am a little interested in what you said, but I am also afraid of taking risks, especially those related to Colin. "

"I don't understand why you want to go back to the company all of a sudden? You are doing great with Mr. Colin these years. Isn't it more comfortable to follow Mr. Colin than to be an artist? Or you just have taken a bet with Colin and wanted to replace a way out? If so, I don't dare to charge you for offending Colin."

Sure enough! At last, Melissa found the key that Zack didn't wanted to help her. It turned out that Colin still was the problem. Zack had been a manager for many years. He was very cunning. How could he not be suspicious of Melissa when he saw her suddenly return to the company? Zack loved money and famous artist. At the same time, he was afraid of offending people with power and wealth, especially big shots like Colin. So he didn't dare to help her anymore. As long as she can prove that she will not get involved in Colin, and Colin will not make trouble for her. But it was obviously impossible for her to do that, because she had offended Colin, but she wouldn't let Zack know about it.

Melissa kept silent and didn't know how to refute him. She crossed her arms slowly to cover her nervous feelings. In fact, her heart was beating very fast. If Zack refused to help her, her future career would be even harder.

Zack looked at her for a while and smiled meaningfully. He seemed to know the situation. Then he stood up and said, "if you don't have anything important to tell me, you'd better go back to Mr. Colin. Our company is too small to accommodate a God like you. You should feel lucky that you are with Mr. Colin. But why do you go back to the company and fight for Anna's resources?" Then he pulled the chair and went away.

Melissa secretly gritted her teeth. She just thought that Zack was so detestable. She had signed a contract with the company for eight years, and in the end she had been hiding for five years. Moreover, according to the current tendency, she might still be hide. Was it that too much? She couldn't replace another company and there was no future for her to work here.

Seeing that Zack was about to open the office door and leave, Melissa suddenly stood up and turned around saying, "Zack, wait!"

Zack's hand was on the doorknob. When he heard that he stopped and turned around.

Melissa clenched her fists and decided to fight for the last time. She said, "if I'm willing to cooperate with you all the time and help Anna to sign the contract with Eric, will you give me resources?" Melissa didn't think she could accept the invitation of Eric's advertisement, because once she accepted it, there would be gossips that she relied on Eric to take over the advertisement, and her parents would be angry if they saw it, so she didn't want to accept it all the time. But because she hated Anna, she didn't want to let Anna receive it. Even if she didn't want to accept it, she would definitely not let Anna receive it. But now, in order to get more resources from Zack in the future, she had to suppress her anger and help Anna to win the advertising endorsement to trade another resources with Zack.

Hearing what she said, Zack stepped back. With a faint scheming smile on his lips, he said, "what do you mean?"

Clenching her fists, Melissa asserted firmly, "I cooperated with you to fool Eric and help Anna to get an advertising for that international men's brand, but you have to give me three TV series as resources, and it can't be a show or a so-called party supporting actress match, but the supporting actress of a whole play can't be lower than the No.5 heroine. What do you think?"

Zack remained silent.

Melissa continued, "it is well-known that it is an great opportunity to be in this advertisement. Anna is not the only one coveting this opportunity. Many A-list actresses and even international actresses are scrambling to get it. Once Anna gets it, there will be a lot of sensational news. She will even become a world famous star. Now I just want to use this opportunity to exchange the resources for the supporting roles of your three movies. Do you agree?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
