Kiss me tender

Melissa followed Zack into the room. As soon as she opened the door and witnessed the scene inside, she felt something was terribly wrong. It was obviously not a place for people to meet over dinner, but a KTV! In this place, there were complicated and licentious relationships happening among the groups of men and women. Everywhere women were busy drinking and offering lewd acts to attract and entertain their guests, and they were openly throwing themselves into the arms of the waiting men. The men did not resist at all and even showed coquettish smiles as they kissed and hugged those women eagerly. Men with fat bodies and leery grins were hugging those women, and they didn't seem to be satisfied that anyone be left alone.

At first, Melissa thought those women were the so-called "Misses", meaning prostitutes. But she was shocked when she took a closer look at them. There were actually many stars present, though most of them were not very famous, so they were willing to buy their fame at the cost of sacrificing their own bodies. So were these the people Zack had wanted her to meet? The directors, investors, and producers who would help her career?

All of a sudden, Melissa felt very angry and turned around to leave. However, Zack blocked her way out and said, "Alas, where are you going?"

Melissa said coldly, "I want to leave. This is not where I should be. Also, I don't want to buy my acting career by these means!"

Seeing the sullen expression on her face, Zack sneered and said, "What's wrong? Do you think that you will become famous after you played the leading role of that TV play? The idol Eric Chen and the new star Sophia Mi have both become popular among the public due to this play. But you have not. Even if you are lucky enough to enter this circle through your abilities and play the leading role of that play, do you think you are popular? I know you work hard, but so what? Will someone come to look for you to cast you in a film?"

"I don't want to be famous in this way!" Melissa shouted furiously and sharply, which startled everyone in the room. All of them stopped writhing and turned to look at them.

Seeming to be aware of the disruption, the DJ in the room turned off the music. Then, except for the flickering and colorful lights, the room became quiet. A middle-aged man asked, "What's wrong? Zack, are you here with your little star?" When he was speaking, a model leaned over suggestively and lit a cigarette for him.

Zack immediately nodded and bowed with a smile. "Yes, Mr. Liu! Last time you called me to bring 'Ice Hua'. Here she is."

Ice Hua had been Melissa's character of a heroine in her first TV play, The Empress Woman. After staring in the play, she soon earned the title of "Little Fairy" and "Lover in Men's Dreams". She didn't know who Mr. Liu was and why there were so many beautiful women waiting to fawn over him, and she even asked her agent about it.
