Chapter 3 Melissa''s Decision


    Colin nced around at the gathering who greeted him, and then he smiled like a benevolent king


    looking down at his kingdom. He said, "It is not a rare thing for me toe here. Since Mr. Liu and


    Director Billy are both here, of course, I had toe and have a look."


    Others immediately rushed forward in order to fawn over him. Mr. Liu reached out his hand and said


    enthusiastically, "Mr. Colin,e and take a seat."


    Colin turned to look at Melissa with a vague smile coloring his face as if he could see right through her


    whole body and into her heart!


    Melissa had never been looked at like this before. The sexy nce was full of promise and


    enchantment. It was both a little flirtatious, a little evil, and also somewhat aggressive like he was a


    yboy. The way he looked at her made her feel as if she was the only one in the room, and he was


    flirting with her. It was odd, and it left her a little scared. She lowered her head, intending to pass by


    him.


    But she couldn''t leave the room as Colin shed a smile on his face and just took a step to stand in


    front of her. Melissa raised her head and stared at him. She didn''t know what this tall and handsome


    man was nning on doing. So she said nkly, "Could you please give me some room to let me


    pass?"


    Colin stared at her with a smile and asked, "Are you afraid of them?"


    Melissa was confused.


    Colin spoke softly with an aggressive expression as he said, "You don''t have to be scared of them now


    that I''m around." Then he looked up and turned to Mr. Liu while saying, "Mr. Liu, look what you did. You


    scared this girl."


    Mr. Liu nced at them and then looked at Colin. He knew instantly that Colin was interested in the


    woman, and he didn''t dare to annoy Colin. So he nodded quickly and said, "Sorry, Miss Melissa, we


    were just joking around with you. Do not take it so seriously. Director Billy is a capable man and has


    gained so many movie awards. How could he rely on such illegal ways to choose his actresses? We


    were just testing you because the supporting role should be yed by a very pure woman. We didn''t


    expect that you''d pass it this easily!"


    "You were just testing me?" asked Melissa with a confused expression settling on her young face.


    "Of course! If you don''t believe me, you can ask Director Billy. Isn''t that right, Director Billy?" Mr. Liu


    looked at Billy.


    But Billy didn''t answer him. Instead, he was smoking alone.


    Melissa thought the atmosphere in the room was strange, and she found that all the people in the room


    became different upon the arrival of Colin. But she didn''t have time to ponder it because Colin put his


    hand on her shoulder and led her back into the room, saying, "This is a good opportunity to cooperate


    with Director Billy. Miss Melissa, are you willing to give it up? Can''t we sit down and discuss it first?"


    Seeing him suddenly touching her, Melissa struggled and shouted, "Let go of me! What are you doing!


    Let go of me!"


    But Colin held her so tightly that she couldn''t shake him off at all. No matter how hard she struggled, he


    simply tightened his one handed grip on her, and with the other hand in his pocket, he smiled faintly as


    if her refusal did not bother him at all.


    As soon as he walked into the room, the young stars and models who had been lounging with Mr. Liu


    and the other wealthy businessmen, immediately rushed towards him. With sweet smiles on their


    faces, they greeted him in reverent tones, "Mr. Colin." They stretched out their hands, trying to touch


    him like he was their idol.


    Looking at the women''s fervent gestures, Colin waved them off and gave them a look to tell them to


    back off. Then he walked on, still with Melissa in his grip, and sat on the soft sofa, forcing Melissa to sit


    next to him, trapped in the corner.


    All of a sudden, Melissa jumped up and wanted to leave again. However, Colin held her hand and said


    in a sincere and innocent tone, "What are you afraid of, Miss Melissa? Are you afraid that I will do


    something bad to you in front of so many people?"

    "I don''t want to have the supporting role anymore. I just want to leave here," said Melissa in a cold


    voice.


    Hearing Melissa''s words, Colin gave her a smile and instantly loosened his grip on her hand. Then, he


    lowered his head and yed with his expensive emerald ring. He slowly said to Zack, "Zack, is this the


    new actress you''ve been cultivating so seriously this year? It seems that you really don''t understand


    your boss'' instructions!"


    He smiled amiably while Zack felt a sensation of terror running down his spine. It was undeniable that


    he heard the me voiced in Colin'' words, which clearly indicated that the newer didn''t


    understand the rules! So he hurried up to scold Melissa and with honeyed words he coaxed her to stay


    for a while. Only after that did she be a little more obedient to him.


    For Zack''s sake, Melissa didn''t want to cause trouble. After all, Zack was her agent. If it were not for


    him, she wouldn''t have made her entrance into the entertainment circle and wouldn''t have yed the


    female leading role of The Empress Woman. Seeing that Zack was really scared of Colin, she didn''t


    want to make him lose his dignity in public like this. So she chose to keep silent.


    Seeing that Melissa had finally sat down, Colin smiled and then knocked on the ss table. A waiter


    instantly appeared and served him a bottle of vintage wine. He poured himself a ss of the deep red


    wine, but as he was about to pour a ss for Melissa, Mr. Liu stopped him and served another ss of


    red wine to him. He said, "Mr. Colin, you should offer this wine for the beauty to drink. It is the best


    wine!" Mr. Liu smiled meaningfully.


    Colin looked at him with deep cunning reflected in his eyes like a fox''s as it moved in for the kill. Then


    he picked up the ss of bright red wine and handed it to Melissa.


    At that moment, Zack opened his mouth in surprise next to them. Subconsciously, he wanted to stop


    them. "Mr. Colin..." But he didn''t dare to say anything more when he watched Colin offering the wine to


    Melissa. He just stared at Colin as he toasted to Melissa.


    Colin politely said, "Miss Melissa, can I offer a toast to you?" He looked at her with a possessive


    nce. It was an intimate gesture, but it was apanied by a sincere sounding voice, and Melissa


    didn''t know how to refuse him. Atst, she had no other choice but to ept the ss, and she quickly


    clinked it with his. Then she bowed her head, set her red lips to the ss, and drank deeply.


    Colin drank some of his wine as well and kept staring at Melissa''s pretty face over the rim of his ss.


    He watched her every move as she drank the whole ss. Meanwhile, he was finalizing a scheme in


    his mind. He merely sipped his wine until she had finished.


    Melissa put down the empty ss and said, "I''ve finished. Can I leave now?"


    Colin smiled and asked, "Leave? Where are you going?" He leaned over and slowly drew near to her.


    He stretched his hand across her body and rested it on the armrest of the sofa next to her, effectively


    trapping her on the sofa. Then he smiled vaguely and said, "Miss Melissa, are you going to leave after


    drinking with me? Isn''t that being too rude to me?"


    "What else do you want?" Melissa felt anxious, but she held back her fear as she saw him leaning over


    with an evil smile. Yet she had no other ce to go except to curl up on the sofa with her back pressed


    up against the padded backing of the seat.


    Colin smiled and lifted her chin towards him with one hand. He said flirtatiously, "I''ll let you go if you


    give me a kiss."


    All around them, people chuckled as if they were waiting for the next episode in a good show. Melissa''s


    eyes widened in shock. She couldn''t believe what she had heard.


    Seeing that she didn''t offer a reply, Colin shed a smile and threatened her, "If you don''t kiss me, I will


    kiss you..." Meanwhile, he slowly began to unbutton her shirt, exposing her delicate neckline as he bent


    over to kiss her.


    Provoked by his words, Melissa used all her strength to push him away and leaped up. She grabbed a


    ss of wine from the table and sshed out the contents in his face. Suddenly, Colin was drenched in


    red wine. She scolded, "You are shameless! I can''t stand this anymore. Celebrities have dignity. Do


    they have to put up with being bullied by rich people like you even though they are just starlets? After


    today, I no longer want to act. Even if I can''t get the supporting role and never have another chance to


    act in the future, I won''t let you people humiliate me!"


    The crowd screamed as they witnessed the scene of Melissa pouring a ss of wine on Colin''s face.


    They couldn''t believe it, and the female stars were even frightened and kept screaming. No one could


    have imagined that a neer like Melissa would throw wine at Colin, the most powerful man in the


    entertainment circle! Did she really want to give up her bright future? Colin wouldn''t ever forgive her for


    what she had done to him! Even Zack was terrified. He didn''t dare to say a word from where he was


    standing behind Melissa.


    A female star took out a tissue and wanted to wipe the wine from Colin''s face, but Colin refused. He


    licked the wine that dripped from the corners of his lips and stared at Melissa. Suddenly, he smiled like


    a demon who took off his mask to show his lurid desires. He stood up and loosened his stained tie.


    Then he said to everyone with a smile, "Look, Miss Melissa really is a wild cat. Don''t you want to see a


    good show today?"


    Of course, the crowd knew what he meant. They cheered immediately and shouted, "We do! Mr. Colin,


    you are the best!"


    With a vicious smile, Colin said with a hint, "Well, I''m in the mood for some fun today. Let''s see how I


    can tame the wild cat!" Then he suddenly grabbed Melissa and pulled her into his arms. Ignoring her


    screaming and attempts to fight him off, he shoved her onto the sofa, pressed on her with all his might,


    and kissed her fiercely!
