Eric said, "I respect your decision. Since you don't want to sign the contract, I won't force you." There was a touch of coldness in his tone. It seemed that he had been heart broken. Then he walked away to Zack and others, leaving Melissa behind.
Hearing Eric's words, Melissa understood what he was thinking. He might be interested in her. But she hurt him eventually and hurt his self-esteem. But it's good for him to shrink back from difficulties, and there was peaceful in the future. Melissa didn't want to get Eric involved, for she had already offended Colin alone, and she didn't want Eric to get into trouble because of her. So she thought it would be nice to let Eric leave the she hurt his feelings. Eric was so kind to her. She didn't want his career to be ruined because of her.
When Eric walked in front of the crowd, he glanced at them and only gave them a slight smile. He had already suppressed the hard pressure on him in front of Melissa. Then he said to Zack indifferently, "I'm here to sign a contract with your artist, don't you invite us to our office first and then talk to us?"
Hearing Eric's words, Zack was stunned for a while and then smiled. He felt that there was a chance for them again. So he was very happy in his heart. He immediately smiled and said, "of course, of course. I'm ready for everything. It's waiting for superstar Eric to enter my office. Come here, please!"
When Eric was about to leave with Zack, Woody lowered his head. Although Woody was angry, he could do nothing about it. However, Junia was not resigned to the result. She yelled, "Eric! Are you leaving me behind, Eric?"
Eric and others looked back at her. Anna curled her lips in disdain.
Junia walked towards Eric with a hurt and aggrieved look on her face. She looked at him with pitiful eyes and said, "you promised me that you would come to sign the contract with me, but why did you change to Zack's artist?"
"I've never said that I want to sign a contract with you, but I'm afraid that you've misunderstood. Maybe you've heard the rumors from the company's top, but since the company set up a studio for me earlier, I signed the contract on my own. The company will not interfere with my decision. I don't know where Miss Junia had heard that I wanted to sign the contract with you."
Eric had his own studio two years ago, which was equivalent to a small entertainment company. There were a lot of staff including clothes, makeup artists, designers, cameramen, and even the scriptwriter. However, the studio only served for one person, and everyone worked for Eric. The fact that he had a studio meant that he was the boss of his kingdom. Everything was tailored for him.
In the entertainment circle, only a very large-scale star or a top-level star who was highly valued by a company could have a studio. Even though Eric had signed a contract with a big company, there was still his own studio, and the company had to support his work unconditionally. It could be seen that the company attached great importance to Eric. So most of the film decisions, advertising endorsement and other contracts were decided by Eric and Woody, his agent. The company rarely interfered with him, unless he made a serious mistake.
Hearing what Eric said, Woody coughed slightly. Then Woody came up to Junia and said in a low voice, "Miss Junia, I'm sorry. I wanted to help you with this matter, but now Eric has changed his tendency temporarily. I can do nothing..."
With a false smile, Eric interrupted Woody coldly, "I didn't change my tendency temporarily. From the beginning of our cooperation, I intend to sign the contract with the artist of Zack. Woody, please don't put the blame on me if you do something behind my back."
Hearing this, Zack laughed even more happily in his heart behind them.
Junia's agent had been very angry for a long time. Hearing their conversation, she held Woody's hands and said, "Woody, what's wrong with you? We've been friends for so many years, but you've played a trick on me in the end, haven't you?"
Seeing that Junia's agent and Woody were arguing, Eric smiled ironically. Ignoring them, he turned around and left. Zack took Eric to his office with a smile. Woody was tangled by Junia and others, and seeing that Eric's leaving. Woody was so anxious that he tried every means to get rid of them and chase after Eric.
But Woody couldn't handle it properly, Woody left Junia and her agent something to handle. Junia hated Zack more and at the same time she held a grudge against Melissa. However, Melissa didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and didn't think too much. Seeing Eric and Zack leaving, she surely bowed her head and followed them.
Melissa followed them, she saw Zack kept talking to Eric and constantly hitting up on Eric. Anna didn't want to be outdone and actively flattered Eric. She got close to Eric's right and greeted him warmly.
Melissa followed them to the office. She suddenly stopped and dared not come in. Zack asked Anna and Eric come in first, and he himself came out to ask his assistant to bring tea to them. Melissa grasped his hand and said, "Zack, I have something to tell you."
Zack was a little annoyed at the moment. But when he remembered that Melissa had done him a big favor today. He asked patiently, "what's the matter?"
