Female Novel
Chapter 11 Painful
"What?" Melissa didn't get his point. Besides, she felt his glances were strange. There seemed to be ahot feeling about her and he just looked at her without any reason. She felt uncomfortable to bewatched like that. Perhaps it was because of Colin that Melissa didn't like other people stared at her sointensely. She was like a prey waiting for them to hunt. Colin had trapped her, so she didn't want asecond one.
So she stepped back a little, trying to keep a certain distance from him. And then she said, "Thank youso much for your appreciation. But that's all the reality. I just end up like this. Compared to you, I'mnothing!" Melissa seemed to have remembered something and she said, "By the way, Sophia is a goodactress. She used to play the supporting role with us in a play, The Empress Woman. At that time, shewas a famous actress. I didn't expect that I would be selected to play the leading role and director Liulet her to play the supporting role. I'm really sorry for her! I haven't paid much attention to her for a longtime. But I heard that she is doing well recently. Maybe she will be a top star. "
Eric snorted, looking scornful and said, "Is it? Do you think she can make it? She relies on a boss asmistress, so she has some powerful backers, more resources, and then hyped herself. As a result, shebecame a famous star. But in terms of acting skills, do you think she is good enough? In my opinion,you are more potential than her! "
"This one..." Melissa was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that Eric would criticize Sophia soharshly. And he seemed to look down upon Sophia. She was also afraid of offending Sophia. So shesaid, "In fact, I was a newcomer, if in terms of acting skills, I'm not as good as you!"
Eric sneered with disdain, "You're really not confident in yourself. If you really don't have any talent,how can director Liu choose you as a new actress? Director Liu thought highly of you at that time, but Idon't know where you went in the past few years. Since you acted the play, you haven't acted in anyplay again. "
Unable to make a response, Melissa just tried to change topic. She remembered clearly that five yearsago Eric and Sophia were very intimate and they often spread gossip, which spread a lot of hypes for"The Empress Woman". At that time, Eric and Sophia had been so intimate. So a kiss in the play madeher be misunderstood by Sophia. In a play, she and Eric had a forced kiss. The performance wassupposed to have fake move. But the director changed his mind later. He said that it was not real ifthere was a fake one. Then the director asked them to have a real kiss. Melissa never had a boyfriend,let alone first kiss. She was unwilling to have it. But in spite of her hesitation, Eric kissed her on thespot. The scene was really a good one. Melissa was very angry that she lost her first kiss. And she feltwronged. However, Sophia was even angrier than her. Sophia seemed to be jealous. She couldn't bearto see that Eric had contact with another woman. Sophia had stirred up trouble for her just because ofthe kiss. Unexpectedly, five years had passed and Eric and Sophia didn't get together. Instead, Ericbegan to despise Sophia.
Eric asked her, "Melissa, where have you been these years and what have you done? Why do you stopacting? "
Speaking of this, Melissa felt sad. She didn't want to talk about the past, especially those things thathad happened were still the wounds in her heart. She had already forgotten it, even if not, she hadsealed it in the deepest corner of her heart and would not be able to dig it out again. Therefore, it wasnot wise for Eric to ask her such a question. Without answering it, Melissa said, "I just walk around andget bored with acting."
"I remember you said that you have a great dream to be an artist in performance!"
"Ha…… How could it make a living? " Melissa felt annoyed. She lowered her head and took out acigarette from her bag. She lit the lighter and smoked. Her white dress and curled hair didn't fit herbehavior.
Eric squinted his eyes and said, "Can you smoke? When did you learn to smoke? You weren't like thisbefore. Smoking was not your pureness at all! "
"Ha..." Melissa sneered again but she was just smoking and wasn't going to explain. Was she pure?Was she still a virgin woman? How weird this Eric was! Did she have anything to do with him whether Ismoked and was a pure woman or not? And Colin as well as Eric didn't like smoking or drinkingalcohol. But she loved it!
Knowing that he couldn't stop her, Eric had no choice but to look at her worriedly. "I heard somethinghad happened to your family and your father…… Your family went broke. And I couldn't find youanymore! "
At the thought of it, Melissa's heart ached. In those years, something really happened to her family. Itwas all because of the abduction that she was claimed to be drugged and taken away by Colin.
