Kiss me tender

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."

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

these, not because of love, but because she felt sorry for him. But she knew that the less contact she had with Eric,

I only have a few sisters above him, so I can't play freely in the entertainment circle and pursue my own art dream. I have to manage the family business, but at the same time, I am not willing to retire behind the scenes, because I have too many things that I don't finish. Unfortunately, the business circle in our country can't satisfy our pursuit of the dream of art, so I set up a company by myself and create space for those who have dreams. I hope you...
