At the thought of this, Melissa lifted the quilt and got out of bed. When she saw that her left hand still had infusion tube, she felt helpless. Finally, she pulled them out. Then enduring the pain of the foot injury, she slowly walked out of the ward and opened the door. She saw Eric and his assistant standing in the corner of the hallway. Eric was listening to someone with a dark face.
Perhaps it was because Woody scolded him too harshly that Eric didn't look well all the time. And he even didn't say a word for a long time. Standing at the door, Melissa looked at them in silence.
The assistant gestured at Eric to greet him when she saw Melissa. When Eric looked over, he was surprised to see that Melissa was standing at the door. Then he was even more absent-minded about the phone call of Woody. He perfunctorily answered the phone and forcefully turned it off. He put the phone into the little assistant's hand and said, "Turn off the phone immediately. Don't answer his phone without my order!"
Then he walked to Melissa, ignoring the assistant's reluctance. Eric didn't seem to be in a good mood. After seeing that Melissa dropped the infusion tube, he asked with a frown, "Why did you come out?"
Melissa said, "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you. Your agent should be on his way here, so I think I'd better leave."
Eric pressed her shoulder and said, "Don't be silly. You are sick now. How can I leave now?" "And Woody doesn't know where I am. Don't worry. He won't disturb you!"
Melissa shook her head and said, "But you can't do that. You're an artist and you have to follow the company's orders. You've already made a lot of trouble because of me these days. Don't offend your manager or your agent, or they can make you infamous again. In this case, I will feel very sorry for you!"
Hearing her words, Eric frowned, unwilling to let go of her shoulder. The assistant was probably frightened to Woody at this time. She came up to say, "Yes, Eric, Woody was really angry this time. You really should not provoke him again!"
Upon hearing this, Eric glared at her and snapped, "What are you talking about?" He didn't want to make Melissa listen to bad words. Then he looked at Melissa. Realizing that he couldn't hide anything from her, he pressed Melissa on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. It doesn't matter. I, known as Eric, don't make a living by this. The worst result is that I quit acting and my father has always urged me to learn how to manage the company."
When the assistant heard Eric's words, she widened her eyes in shock. They were actually relying on Eric for food. Moreover, Eric was so popular and it was not easy for a 27-year-old star to reach his level. Not to mention that he had limitless potential. How could he give up his bright career for a woman? But she didn't say anything, although she was still worried.
Luckily, Melissa persuaded Eric, "You don't have to do that. Acting is your favorite career and it's for your art dream. How can you easily give it up?" Moreover, if you are really banished by the company, even if you have a back-up, you will be reluctant to go this situation, right? It is disgraceful to retire. I really don't want to see you die like this because of me. "I will be very guilty!"
Seeing that he couldn't convince her, Eric was a little upset. He didn't want to say anything more, so he shook his head and said to Melissa, "Let's stop talking about it. We'll talk about it later. Now you're still sick. No matter what, you can't get rid of the needle." "You'd better get in and lie down." Eric then turned to the assistant and said, "Call the nurse!"
The assistant was too shocked to hear Eric's words. So she still was like that she couldn't understand his order.
In a fret, Eric urged, "Hurry up!"
The assistant nodded and then ran away.
