Kiss me tender

However, no matter how much Melissa wanted to take the mediocre path this time, she finally alerted the whole audience.
Because Eric called her on the way. "Excuse me, Miss Melissa, do you have any male guests to be with you tonight?"
"Not yet." Answered Melissa. Generally speaking, when they walked on the red carpet, many male and female stars would
cooperate and enter the venue hand in hand. This was a kind of etiquette, and also a commercial publicity.
"Then can I invite Miss Melissa to come in with me as my female guest?"
"Are you kidding me? The actresses who want to be your female guest might line up to the suburb? " Melissa was surprised. It
was because Eric suddenly invited her to come in with him. At that time, it was estimated that the whole audience would focus on
them. Regardless of the charm of Eric, it was not difficult for them not to attract attention because they had a lot of topics
recently.
"I'm not kidding. Since we're friends, it's necessary to make it public in front of the media. Tonight is a good opportunity, or our
future contact will only lead to more gossip."
After thinking for a while, Melissa thought what Eric said was right. Sooner or later, the media would know about it. In order to
prevent them from talking nonsense on the newspaper, it was better to make it public first, so that they could contact each other
openly in the future. So Melissa agreed, "Well, I'll wait for you at XXX Hotel near the hall. We'll go there together."
After hanging up the phone, Melissa took a deep breath. It seemed that there would be a big news tonight. But no matter what
others said or suspected, she admired Eric's tolerance. According to the media, after the breakup, Melissa should be a very bad
woman for Eric. He could have put on a long face to face her, but he didn't. He had always been a gentleman. Not only did he
call on his fans not to be against her on the press conference, but a month later, he could shake hands with her kindly, and was
about to be in the media to show that the two of them reconciled and became good friends.
Eric always defended her, even though she had done so many wrong things and caused so much harm to him, he never blamed
her. Instead, he silently endured the pain, and then showed a friendly smile to her.
"Well, good man!" Melissa sighed.
Fanny asked, "What are you talking about, Melissa?"
Then Melissa asked Fanny, "Do you think Eric is the most graceful man in the entertainment circle?"

Fanny thought for a while and said with a smile, "I don't know whether he is a good man or not, but I have never heard that Eric
put on airs. Even though he is so famous, he is still kind to people. He has the same attitude to big stars and small stars. He is
easy to get along with. And he is very dedicated. This is the comment of the people in the industry! "
Melissa nodded, "Yes, a good actress, a... Good man! "
It was a pity that she didn't love him. She only loved Colin. But was it a matter of destiny? If the first person she fell in love with
was Eric, would she be loyal to him and have nothing to do with Colin for the rest of her life?
The charity dinner was a success. The auction, donation, walking on the red carpet, and the group signature of stars were all
very sensational. Of course, the most sensational moment was the moment when Melissa and Eric walked on the red carpet
hand in hand.
Now when Melissa recalled the scene, she couldn't tell what had happened at that time. She only remembered that when she
appeared at the top of the red carpet with Eric hand in hand, the whole scene was shocked. Countless people rushed over,
especially reporters, who rushed to the first line and occupied the best position. They shot them fiercely from beginning to end,
and the flashlight could even flash the dark night into the daytime. Some stars and curious people gathered around, and even if
they didn't, they would watch her and Eric from a distance. In a word, the two of them became the most eye-catching figures that
night.
Eric was dressed in a suit and his hair was simply shaped. He didn't look like a fashion master at all, but looked more mature and
steady. Melissa's dress was also low-key and elegant, and it matched her very well. The two walked out together. Although they
were stars, there were also like the noble and unhurried couples attending the activity. It was obvious that they were more
fashionable and beautiful than businessmen.
When Melissa and Eric walked out, Melissa was a little nervous in the face of the intense gaze of the crowd. But when Eric
gently held her hand, she suddenly calmed down and felt that there was nothing that she couldn't face. They were not sneaky
and shameful. Couldn't they be exposed? Even if people liked gossips and wanted to dig into their past, there was nothing
invisible. So she smiled calmly and faced everyone calmly.
After walking the red carpet, the reporters surrounded them for an interview. Eric said with a smile that they were friends now,
and Melissa also replied that she found that the two of them were more suitable to be friends and cherished such a friend like
Eric. Then, ignoring the strange and suspicious eyes of the reporters, the two of them only smiled at each other. At the same
time, they smiled calmly to face the pressure of the public opinion. There was nothing that could not be overcome.

This charity dinner was probably the happiest thing for Melissa, because she not only did a good thing, but also reconciled with
Eric. She stood in front of the media aboveboard. Recently, there were three harvest of love, career and friendship. What else
could make her happier than this?
So after the charity dinner, she smiled all the way. Seeing that she was happy, Fanny tried her best to tell Melissa all kinds of
interesting things to retrieve. At last, because she was happy, Melissa gave Fanny the crystal jewelry worth more than ten
thousand. Fanny was naturally ecstatic.
Then, Colin called and told her that he had got off the plane and asked her to see where she would wait for him. The two of them
would have dinner together.
In fact, it was already twelve o'clock when Melissa came back from the dinner party. There might be no good place to eat. But
considering that Colin had been on the plane for a few hours, he might not be able to have dinner. She said, "Come to my house.
I'll make something for you to eat!"
Colin was very happy, but he still took the opportunity to tease her, "You have a guilty conscience. It's rare that you take the
initiative to cook for me."
"But I'm telling you, I only know the bottom and fried eggs with tomato. Do you want to eat them? If you don't want to eat, I'll take
you to the stall on the night street and the sidewalk snack booth! "
"Why don't I eat? I'll eat whatever you cook, even if it's burnt to ashes!"
"That's what you said. Don't regret it then!" Then Melissa hung up the phone, but she was secretly pleased. In fact, she didn't
only know how to make the noodle and fried eggs with tomatoes. She knew some simple cooking skills, but she said so in order
to give a surprise to Colin.
So when the car arrived at the supermarket near the community, Melissa asked the driver to stop the car. She wore an evening
dress with a coat covering her shoulders. She went to the supermarket to buy something, and then went home to prepare. This
time, she wanted to give a surprise to Colin!
But at this time, her phone rang. She thought it was from Colin, and murmured, "Is he so soon?" She took out her phone and
was about to answer it enthusiastically, but when she saw the caller ID, it was her mother.
Melissa's hand trembled subconsciously. When she saw her mother's note name, all her good mood disappeared in an instant.
The rest was only nervousness, guilt, and uneasiness. Besides, it was over twelve o'clock at midnight. Why did her mother call?

After staring at her phone for a while, Melissa finally put all the things on the ground and answered the phone attentively. "Hello,
mom, I'm Melissa. What's up?"
