Kiss me tender
Chapter 88

Seeing that Melissa kept silent, Zack continued, "are you listening? Come here as soon as possible. By the way, Anna will be here soon. So be patient when you meet her. You know her temper. She is an idiot. Why do you have to quarrel with her? So you'd better be kind to her later and don't make a scene. It's so embarrassed!"

Hearing this, Melissa sneered. Zack always asked her to give in to Anna for the sake of Anna. But Melissa didn't want to take it. Because now Anna and Zack was asking her for help. She was a superior person now, Anna should respect her that she would not have made a concession to Anna. So this time, Melissa didn't want to listen to Zack. If she kept being weak, other people might even think that she was a pushover and would bully her in the future! People said that if you were strong, you wouldn't be bullied, and if you were weak, you deserved to be bullied. Therefore, Melissa didn't want to be a weak person. So she smiled faintly and said in a mocking and somewhat lofty tone, "Zack, you'd better keep Anna quiet, or I am not willing to keep her company in this deal. Why didn't you tell Anna not to fight with me? Don't you think that Anna should be polite now?"

After finishing her words, Melissa quickly hung up the phone. She ignored Zack who was shouting, "Hello!" But she knew that after she made her attitude clear just now, Zack would definitely ask Anna to restrain herself. A faint smile curled the corners of her mouth. Melissa fixed her hair and headed to his office.

She speculated that the contract signing process should be handled by the agent. Besides, Eric was usually busy with work and had many publicity projects to attend. Thus, it was impossible for Eric to sign the contract with her company in person. But she was involved in this matter. Judging from the situation in the hospital last time, Eric intentionally concealed the fact that he was with her from Woody. Presumably, she had guessed that Woody hated her, so this time Eric should be worried about Woody signing the contract alone. Perhaps he would come here with Woody.

Melissa thought it would be better if only Woody came alone. After all, Woody hated her so much and hated her being involved with Eric. He should have promised to make Anna sign the contract with the company very soon, but there might be some other accidents, such as Woody had another plan. He not only didn't want her to sign the contract, but also didn't want to cooperate with Anna. Instead, he wanted to secretly work with another more important person in the company. In this case, Zack and her wishful thinking would be destroyed. It would be really troublesome to win the contract.

The other possible way was that if Eric did come with Woody, it could definitely make sure that the contract was signed by Zack. But on the other hand, the star might not be Anna. Eric wanted to sign the contract with her, but she wanted to return it to Anna. She really didn't know how to reject Eric. It would be troublesome for her.

Melissa compared these two situations. She still hoped that Eric would come, because the target about Eric was not too much. He wouldn't let Woody have a bad idea and wanted to cooperate with other female stars, would he? Which was only the choice between Anna and her. It would be more easier.

In a high spirit, Melissa walked to Zack's office. She hesitated for a moment when she pushed the door open. At that time, Zack persuaded Anna, "anyhow, don't talk back to her later. You need to beg her now. Don't be willful in front of her, okay? And it was your fault at first!"

Anna said very unconvinced, "Zack, you've gone too far. I've told you many times. That woman is faking it. I didn't beat her, but at most pinched her. However, she not only pushed me away, but also twisted my wrist. Don't you know it's not convenient to dance for the injury on my hand, and my forehead is disfigured!"

Seeing that Anna was arguing with him, Zack only said impatiently, "enough! I don't care who is right or who is wrong between you. I don't care. I just want you to be honest and not offend her. Try to get the contract. Got it? If you mess it up, you'll be dead meat! "

Anna was dissatisfied, but she remained silent. She didn't dare to say a word. Perhaps she was really frightened by Zack's anger.

After listening outside for a while, Melissa wore a smile again. Anna was really a stupid woman. She always showed her ignorance and ability to others in front of Zack. It seemed that Zack was fed up with her. She was such a female star who didn't care about the interests of the company at all, how could Zack make her famous? Anna had to be magnanimous on some important things.

Anna was not a match for her. So there was no need to be on guard against Anna. If she said a few words in Zack's ear to provoke dissension between Anna and him, Anna would be dismissed by him. Thinking that through, Melissa was in a good mood. Then she pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing her coming, Zack even raised a smile on his face and said, "here comes Melissa! Come here and take a seat!"

He led her to a better seat and Melissa sat down, for she deserved it. He turned to look at Anna and saw her looking away with disdain. Arms folded, Anna was still very cold, as if she didn't want to see Melissa. However, no matter how dismissive Anna was, she was already at ease if she didn't quarrel with Melissa. Melissa was very happy, too. After chatting with Zack and discussed the measures to deal with them later, she ignored Anna, letting her get angry.

After a while, Anna's assistant opened the door and said, "Zack, the people from Eric's company are here!"

The three of them stood up. First of all, Melissa asked the assistant, "is Eric in person?"

The assistant thought about it for a while and said, "I don't think so, because no bodyguard followed them." Zack even laughed out. "It's better if he doesn't come. He'll save a big trouble for us!"

Of course, Melissa understood what Zack meant. Was he sure that Woody would come to him if Eric didn't come here? So Melissa just said casually, "Zack, it's too early to be happy. If Eric can't come, things will get worse. I don't know if Woody will ask us to sign the contract. When I came to the company today, I saw the most popular female star Junia was in our company. Why did she come back to the company so hurriedly? And the media also speculated that the best actress for Eric's advertisement should be Junia. I don't know if this hype was produced by our company's top managers. If it is really made by our top managers, it will be very interesting. What do you think the top managers meant? Shouldn't you be on guard against Junia?"

At the mention of Junia, Zack sweated immediately and got a little nervous. But he was not a coward. He immediately said, "quickly, get ready. I'm going to meet Eric's people in person. Anna, you don't have to go out with me. Just go back and get dressed. You have to stand out, or you'll really be screwed if you compete with Junia! You know clearly about that Junia."

That woman, Junia, began her career as a popular star at the age of seventeen. Started with a clean and pure image, she had been very popular for quite a while. Now, she had even made quite a stir. She was almost a multi-talented star in film, television and singing. Currently, the company had put most emphasis on her. However, five years ago, when Melissa entered the "Heaven Night", for the first time, she saw that Junia and another male star who had a wife were kissing passionately regardless of the public opinions. All people could imagine how ridiculous the title of 'a pure star' was. It was also clear to them what a scheming and hypocritical person Junia was. Anna couldn't compare with Junia in terms of beauty and tactics. Even Melissa thought that she was no match for Junia in skills. Melissa was a woman with integrity at least. But what about Junia? Junia was so shameless that she didn't care about her reputation at all. The company's top managers could even sleep with her. She was the most shameless person in the world. Who could compete with her?

Anna said nothing and she was nervous when she heard Junia's name. She nodded and went back to dress up. At the same time, Melissa and Zack went out to see Woody.

It turned out that only Woody and some other promotion assistants and lawyers were coming. But Eric was nowhere to be seen. Knowing that Woody didn't like her, Melissa didn't play up to him. Instead, she asked Zack to make a move first. Zack said, "Yap! The broker, Mr. Woody is here. Welcome to our company! I've been admiring you for a long time! "

Woody had just entered the company's first floor when he saw Zack and other employees were walking out of the office. Moreover, Zack was so shameless that he grasped his hand directly. Seeing such scene, Woody frowned.

"Mr. Woody, you come here to sign the contract with my artist, right?" Zack seized the discourse initiative and pleased Woody.

It was not until then that Melissa found that Zack was really good at speaking. He didn't even mention her name, but just said about his artists. In this way, Woody wouldn't be disgusted because he didn't hear her name. What's more, Zack said directly that Woody was here to sign his artist, which made Woody didn't have the chance to retort anymore.

As expected, Woody hesitated and said, "in fact, this matter is..."

Zack said again, "Let's talk in the office first. Then we can have a chat there. We can take our time to chat slowly. I've been looking up to you for a long time. You're really a great manager. Don't you want to talk to us and take care of us, who are just ordinary people? Won't you be happy to let us learn something from you? Woody? Haha!"

After hearing Zack said that, Melissa who was behind Zack couldn't help but laugh. Moreover, he had invited Woody to his office at the beginning of his talk. Once Woody went there, Woody probably couldn't get out of his office. For sure, Woody would be seized tightly by Zack until Woody signed the contract with him. It was totally impossible for Woody to go to replace Junia!

It seemed that there was no need for Melissa to go personally. All of a sudden, Melissa felt that it was totally unnecessary for her to be worried. She didn't need show up, according to Zack's speech skills, and how much Woody hated her, the contract was definitely belong to Anna.

Melissa breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a man rushed into the room and screamed in a panic. No one knew who the man was. Only here the man shouted, "Eric is here! Eric is here! He is
