As a senior executive asked Melissa to sit down, she sat on the chair opposite the door, upright. Those people looked at her, but talked to each other in small groups. They probably talked with each other about her impression.
Melissa did the same thing to them and remained silent for a long time. But Zack, who was sitting on the right side of her, was nervous and held his ten fingers tightly on the table, trembling. Perhaps he was just afraid that these leaders might have some problems with Melissa.
About one minute later, the chairman sitting at the head of the desk finally spoke, "Are you Melissa?"
Melissa responded, "Yes, boss."
Tapping the desk with his pen, the director said, "Tell me what happened between you and Eric. Why did it happen yesterday? And I heard Colin was present. What happened among you, Eric and Colin?"
The first question to Zack was terrifying. Perhaps it was not a big deal, or perhaps it was a pretty big deal. Melissa had become a popular star in the entertainment circle because of Eric. But what Eric had said really made people feel a little uncomfortable. If he took her as his junior sister and wanted to support Melissa, perhaps the company would fear that Melissa would leave the company with Eric. Now, there was something that Mr. Colin was involved and it was even more serious. Colin held most of the power in the domestic entertainment circle and no one dared to offend him.
Although Melissa was very nervous, she forced herself to calm down and told the truth about what had happened the other day. She also explained her relationship with Eric because she knew that she couldn't hide it from the leaders. It was better to tell the truth than hide it from them. But she tried her best to patch up her story and hide her relationship with Colin, so she only concluded the conflicts between Eric and Colin. Eric wanted to deal against Colin so that he decided to support her.
After she said that, Melissa thought it was not appropriate for her to do so, so she added, "Eric will sign a contract with US's economic company in the near future. In addition, due to his popularity and financial resources, he is capable of dealing against Colin. At least, you can let him take responsible if anything happens!" "You cannot worry that Colin would make trouble for the company."
The pen of the chairman of the board was still pounding on the table with a little strength, but quite rhythmic. While listening to very calm and stable and feeling that the pen hit her heart, she became inexplicably nervous.
Zack explained, "Boss, since Melissa said so, we're not afraid of Mr. Colin at all. After all, we have Eric." It wasn't easy for Zack to have such a star in his hands to stand out. Of course he would strive for an opportunity. He wouldn't let the management be suspicious and snub her. It was a pity!
The chairman of the board said flatly, "Do you want to go with Eric?" "But after all, Eric is not a man in GY Group!"
These words were meaningful. If Melissa couldn't explain clearly, it would be easy to say that Melissa had betrayed the company.
Melissa said coldly, "Whether I stay or leave depends on your decision, doesn't it?"
The president of the board of directors slightly smiled, which was unpredictable. He said faintly, "Yeah, your whereabouts naturally depend on our words in GY Group. Your contract is still in the hand of GY Group. GY Group skill can make you famous, and of course, can deal with you!" "It all depends on what Melissa would like us to do to you."
Hearing Hiram's words, Zack felt there was something wrong with it. He looked at boss. The other managers agreed with him and didn't have any disagreement. All of them looked at Melissa simultaneously.
Clenching her fists, Melissa looked into the eyes of the chief executive and said, "Then……" "What do you want me to do?"
"Nothing special. It's just that, according to the old rules, every popular star who was supported by the company needs to sign another contract with GY Group. This is the revised agreement of the company. Melissa, take it and see if it's appropriate!"
Without greeting her, the chairman announced the meeting was dismissed. Then he stood up and walked out, followed by his secretary. The other managers also got up and left. When they left, they almost glanced at Melissa with inexplicable weird expression in their eyes.
Zack greeted them with nod and bow. After they all left, he said to Melissa, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you agree such a good chance?" "Do you know how many people want to sign that contract? Anna has been waiting for it for many years. When she gets popular, she doesn't get any respect by the company. Today the chairman has held a special meeting for you, but you still refuse. What do you want?"
Of course, Melissa wouldn't tell Zack that she didn't want to work for GY Group at all, because she didn't think the pattern of the GY Group was suitable for her at all. In addition, they badly squeezed to the newcomers. Although by the time when she signed the contract, it was fairly low for her. It was said that the newcomers who signed the contract now were lower than her. Besides, once she became a popular star, she would be forced to overwork. As a result, she had to work hard all the year round.
The entertainment company's operation mode was still the way of "earning money". It had no far-reaching plans. No wonder that this company hadn't produced several popular stars for so many years. Except for Junia, nobody else was good. Comparing with Eric's company, it was much worse in GY Group. Therefore, Melissa had long wanted to resign. She had waited for the past five years. It was not until her contract was about to expire that she finally agreed to work in another company. She was unwilling to resign.
So Melissa said, "Zack, I'm tired. Let's call it a day. We'll talk about the contract tomorrow."
Zack gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, you can't leave the GY Group. If you have any other idea, you'd better give up!"
Lowering her head in silence, Melissa thought that anyway, she'll leave the company. She, Melissa won't die in this little place in her life! She had a lot of plans to do and it was impossible if she stayed in GY Group. Besides, if she stayed in GY Group, she had to be controlled by Colin, which was the main reason that she couldn't bear.
If she needed revenge on Colin and wanted to look down to Colin, how could she work for the company by control of Colin?
