Chapter 221 We Are Friends Now (Part Two)

However, no matter how much Melissa wanted to take the mediocre path this time, she finally alertedthe whole audience. Because Eric called her on the way. "Excuse me, Miss Melissa, do you have anymale guests to be with you tonight?"

"Not yet." Answered Melissa. Generally speaking, when they walked on the red carpet, many male andfemale stars would cooperate and enter the venue hand in hand. This was a kind of etiquette, and alsoa commercial publicity.

"Then can I invite Miss Melissa to come in with me as my female guest?"

"Are you kidding me? The actresses who want to be your female guest might line up to the suburb? "Melissa was surprised. It was because Eric suddenly invited her to come in with him. At that time, itwas estimated that the whole audience would focus on them. Regardless of the charm of Eric, it wasnot difficult for them not to attract attention because they had a lot of topics recently.

"I'm not kidding. Since we're friends, it's necessary to make it public in front of the media. Tonight is agood opportunity, or our future contact will only lead to more gossip."

After thinking for a while, Melissa thought what Eric said was right. Sooner or later, the media wouldknow about it. In order to prevent them from talking nonsense on the newspaper, it was better to makeit public first, so that they could contact each other openly in the future. So Melissa agreed, "Well, I'llwait for you at XXX Hotel near the hall. We'll go there together."

After hanging up the phone, Melissa took a deep breath. It seemed that there would be a big newstonight. But no matter what others said or suspected, she admired Eric's tolerance. According to themedia, after the breakup, Melissa should be a very bad woman for Eric. He could have put on a longface to face her, but he didn't. He had always been a gentleman. Not only did he call on his fans not tobe against her on the press conference, but a month later, he could shake hands with her kindly, andwas about to be in the media to show that the two of them reconciled and became good friends.

Eric always defended her, even though she had done so many wrong things and caused so much harmto him, he never blamed her. Instead, he silently endured the pain, and then showed a friendly smile toher.

"Well, good man!" Melissa sighed.

Fanny asked, "What are you talking about, Melissa?"

Then Melissa asked Fanny, "Do you think Eric is the most graceful man in the entertainment circle?"

Fanny thought for a while and said with a smile, "I don't know whether he is a good man or not, but Ihave never heard that Eric put on airs. Even though he is so famous, he is still kind to people. He hasthe same attitude to big stars and small stars. He is easy to get along with. And he is very dedicated.This is the comment of the people in the industry! "

Melissa nodded, "Yes, a good actress, a... Good man! "

It was a pity that she didn't love him. She only loved Colin. But was it a matter of destiny? If the firstperson she fell in love with was Eric, would she be loyal to him and have nothing to do with Colin forthe rest of her life?

The charity dinner was a success. The auction, donation, walking on the red carpet, and the groupsignature of stars were all very sensational. Of course, the most sensational moment was the momentwhen Melissa and Eric walked on the red carpet hand in hand.

Now when Melissa recalled the scene, she couldn't tell what had happened at that time. She onlyremembered that when she appeared at the top of the red carpet with Eric hand in hand, the wholescene was shocked. Countless people rushed over, especially reporters, who rushed to the first lineand occupied the best position. They shot them fiercely from beginning to end, and the flashlight couldeven flash the dark night into the daytime. Some stars and curious people gathered around, and even if

they didn't, they would watch her and Eric from a distance. In a word, the two of them became the mosteye-catching figures that night.

Eric was dressed in a suit and his hair was simply shaped. He didn't look like a fashion master at all,but looked more mature and steady. Melissa's dress was also low-key and elegant, and it matched hervery well. The two walked out together. Although they were stars, there were also like the noble andunhurried couples attending the activity. It was obvious that they were more fashionable and beautifulthan businessmen.

When Melissa and Eric walked out, Melissa was a little nervous in the face of the intense gaze of thecrowd. But when Eric gently held her hand, she suddenly calmed down and felt that there was nothingthat she couldn't face. They were not sneaky and shameful. Couldn't they be exposed? Even if peopleliked gossips and wanted to dig into their past, there was nothing invisible. So she smiled calmly andfaced everyone calmly.novelbin

After walking the red carpet, the reporters surrounded them for an interview. Eric said with a smile thatthey were friends now, and Melissa also replied that she found that the two of them were more suitableto be friends and cherished such a friend like Eric. Then, ignoring the strange and suspicious eyes ofthe reporters, the two of them only smiled at each other. At the same time, they smiled calmly to facethe pressure of the public opinion. There was nothing that could not be overcome.

This charity dinner was probably the happiest thing for Melissa, because she not only did a good thing,but also reconciled with Eric. She stood in front of the media aboveboard. Recently, there were threeharvest of love, career and friendship. What else could make her happier than this?

So after the charity dinner, she smiled all the way. Seeing that she was happy, Fanny tried her best totell Melissa all kinds of interesting things to retrieve. At last, because she was happy, Melissa gaveFanny the crystal jewelry worth more than ten thousand. Fanny was naturally ecstatic.

Then, Colin called and told her that he had got off the plane and asked her to see where she wouldwait for him. The two of them would have dinner together.

In fact, it was already twelve o'clock when Melissa came back from the dinner party. There might be nogood place to eat. But considering that Colin had been on the plane for a few hours, he might not beable to have dinner. She said, "Come to my house. I'll make something for you to eat!"

Colin was very happy, but he still took the opportunity to tease her, "You have a guilty conscience. It'srare that you take the initiative to cook for me."

"But I'm telling you, I only know the bottom and fried eggs with tomato. Do you want to eat them? If youdon't want to eat, I'll take you to the stall on the night street and the sidewalk snack booth! "

"Why don't I eat? I'll eat whatever you cook, even if it's burnt to ashes!"

"That's what you said. Don't regret it then!" Then Melissa hung up the phone, but she was secretlypleased. In fact, she didn't only know how to make the noodle and fried eggs with tomatoes. She knewsome simple cooking skills, but she said so in order to give a surprise to Colin.

So when the car arrived at the supermarket near the community, Melissa asked the driver to stop thecar. She wore an evening dress with a coat covering her shoulders. She went to the supermarket tobuy something, and then went home to prepare. This time, she wanted to give a surprise to Colin!

But at this time, her phone rang. She thought it was from Colin, and murmured, "Is he so soon?" Shetook out her phone and was about to answer it enthusiastically, but when she saw the caller ID, it washer mother.

Melissa's hand trembled subconsciously. When she saw her mother's note name, all her good mooddisappeared in an instant. The rest was only nervousness, guilt, and uneasiness. Besides, it was over

twelve o'clock at midnight. Why did her mother call?

After staring at her phone for a while, Melissa finally put all the things on the ground and answered thephone attentively. "Hello, mom, I'm Melissa. What's up?"
