Kiss me tender novel Chapter 217

When Melissa looked into Eric's eyes, she still felt that there was infinite tolerance in his eyes. He tolerated her past and everything about her, like the doting eyes of her lover, or as if he had set up a gentle net to trap her.

For a moment, Melissa felt that Eric still loved her, because he could only show such an expression to the one he loved. But the next moment, she felt that it was her illusion, because Eric restrained all the doting eyes, and the light in his eyes was gone, leaving only something unknown, as if he was treating a familiar friend. He smiled frankly and said, "Are you okay?"

Feeling embarrassed, Melissa felt that she was unnatural just now and she looked at his eyes for a long time so she shook off his hand awkwardly and said with a smile, "I'm fine... Nothing. "

"Long time no see. You look much better than before!" Eric said with a smile.

"You too!" Feeling a little embarrassed, Melissa couldn't find a topic to talk about, so she asked, "You must have been doing well recently, right?" But she regretted as soon as she asked him. In fact, she shouldn't have so much to do with him. They should just meet and leave. Why did she ask so many questions? Moreover, it was such a sensitive topic to ask him about his recent situation. Everyone knew that he was affected a lot because of her, and he had a lot of trouble recently. But when she saw his smiling face, Melissa felt that he was better, so she couldn't help asking.

Eric replied, "Not bad. Recently... I'm going to do a new job. "

Thinking of the conversation among the staff in the dressing room, Melissa finally asked, "Have you been... I heard that you are going to open your own company, aren't you? "

Facing her, Eric didn't avoid her, but replied frankly, "The news leaked out very fast. It wasn't long before everyone knew my plan."

He looked at her with his bright eyes, hiding all the melancholy past in the bottom of his heart. What appeared in front of her was only the mature and steady Eric, not the depressed man whose love and career were all hurt.

Then Melissa asked again, "So you terminated your contract with Hua Company, didn't you?"

"Yes, we terminated the contract in a low-key way. After all, it's not a glorious thing, so everyone chose to be silent and not to make it public."

"Is everything going well?"

"Stumbling around, but the contract was finally terminated. I don't pursue anything. I just want to leave Hua Company and get freedom."

There were too many questions that Melissa wanted to ask him, such as the relationship between him and Woody. The two of them had been partners for so many years and had already become the hands of each other. It was a win-win situation for them to be together, but it would be a great loss if the two of them were separated. She wondered what Woody would do after Eric terminated the contract and whether Woody had left with him. She wanted to ask him if his company was running well? What kind of company did he want to run in the future? Would he continue to act in the future? Would he be an actor while be a boss, or would he stop acting and to be behind the scenes from now on.

Eric had too many choices, and every step he took would lead to a huge loss or huge benefits. She was very concerned about these, not because of love, but because she felt sorry for him. But she knew that the less contact she had with Eric, the less she cared about him, the situation would be better. After all, they had a past. No matter how they got along with each other, it would hurt him!

If she really wanted to be good for him, she would leave his world completely and hide somewhere he couldn't see. So Melissa held back all the words that were raised to her lips, and said in a lukewarm tone, "Then I wish you a successful career. I still have to shoot. I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, she wanted to leave, but Eric suddenly reached out to block her and said, "Can you still act with your feet like this?"

Lowering her head, Melissa couldn't bear to look up at him. She just said lightly, "Nothing serious. I can put on my shoes and endure it. Sometimes I won't feel the pain if I don't pay attention to these difficulties. The more you pay attention to it, the more dangerous it will be. I'm leaving! "

Eric suddenly grabbed her shoulder and stopped her from moving forward. "Have a rest. The representative work can't come out so easily. Besides, I don't think director Li's this play would succeed. You are not suitable for such a lively and charming role. Don't waste too much time on a small role, and you have tried your best."

Melissa raised her head and looked at him. At that moment, she saw the heartache in his eyes, but the next moment, she felt that it was an illusion. Maybe Eric had already been calm, and there was no heartache in his heart at all.

Fanny also persuaded, "Yes, Melissa, you can have a rest. I can't bear to see your foot injury!"

Lowering her head, Melissa seemed to have thought about it for a while. Finally, she slowly took away Eric's hand and said firmly, "Then I'll discuss with the director about what to do next."

She still wanted to leave because she didn't dare to face him. After saying that, she limped step by step, bearing the pain. Fanny had to follow her helplessly.

After walking through the bamboo forest for a few steps, Eric suddenly said to her, "Melissa, can't we even be friends?"

Melissa stopped in a sudden and she didn't dare to look back. She felt uncomfortable.
