Chapter 260 Meddle Too Much

"I've been busy with these things every day and seldom have time to relax. Let's dance together." Jonas looked at Melinda with a smile, which seldom appeared on his face. Many people felt that they were dazzled when they saw his tenderness.

Emily was like a third wheel. She clenched her teeth in anger as she saw their interaction.

Half of Melinda's body was leaning on Jonas, and now the half-bent man stood in front of her. The smile in his eyes made her feel that she was the happiest person in the world.

"Okay." Melinda put her hand on the hand of Jonas. The two of them smiled happily, and his hands carefully fell on the waist of her and led her to the dance floor in front of them.

Both of them entered the hall, which attracted many people's attention. Many people left a space for them to dance. Melinda seldom danced, and so did Jonas. They had danced no more than three times, but they had an indescribable tacit understanding.

It seemed that they knew what to do as long as the other was there.

Emily stood in the same place and was like a joke. Everyone paid attention to the two dancing people on the dancing floor, and their eyes fell on her, too.

Their sympathy and disdain were like branded in Emily's heart which made her feel so depressed.

The elegant smile on her face was gone, and the people surrounding her dispersed, avoiding her like a plague.

Emily had been to the upper class for a long time, but she didn't know how to feel when she was the one in the center of the vortex.

She wanted to give vent to it, but she couldn't. She wanted to hide her feelings, but she felt uncomfortable.

Because Melinda was pregnant, the music tonight was soothing. Even the dancing steps gave out a sense of ease and elegance.

However, Melinda, one of the protagonists in these people's eyes, began to drift away.

The tacit dance steps of the beginning were gone. She stepped on the shoes of Jonas now and then. Fortunately, she was not wearing high-heeled shoes today. Otherwise, the consequences could be imagined.

"What's wrong? Did Emily say something to you?" Jonas asked anxiously as his smile faded.

Just now, when he saw Emily standing next to Melinda, he began to worry that she would make up stories again.

Just now, seeing that Melinda looked normal, he felt secretly relieved. Now he realized that perhaps it was not as simple as he thought.

Looking at his nervous appearance, Melinda couldn't help smiling. She hid all her worries in the bottom of her heart and gave a smile to Jonas.

"It's okay. I don't trust her now. Not even a punctuation," Melinda joked. She bowed her head and looked down at her toes, without looking at Jonas in the eyes.

Melinda didn't want to bother Jonas with such a trivial matter, so she told him everything briefly.

It was true that her expression wouldn't change a bit when she heard what Emily said, but she knew deep down in her heart.

After the dance, many women looked at Jonas and wanted to invite him to dance with the

k rims. She was in low spirits.

She really couldn't come up with a solution, because this circle was too messy, and she didn't know which path Emily would take, and there was no way to stop her.

After thinking for a while, Melinda called the director.

For this matter, Melinda couldn't speak out directly. She hemmed and hawed with the director for a long time and didn't get to the point.

"Director, I hope you can choose some actors like heroes in novels. This book is very important to me and I hope you can understand it."

She finally put it mildly. Emily's appearance and inside were totally incompatible with the novel. If he chose Emily, he would disrespect the original book, which would also ruin it.

At that time, Melinda would be sad. Her fans would feel bad too. She didn't want that kind of thing to happen.

The director was not happy to hear that. Melinda had intended to interfere in the making at first, and now she had wanted to give directions to the casting.

Any director would think that he was doubted.

But he couldn't express his unhappiness in front of her. To put it bluntly, although he was a famous director, the shot was not by him alone. Jonas had the decision making right.

"Don't worry. I will take good care of this," the director said in confidence. He was not a fool. This play was not short of investment, and naturally the actor would be chose fairly.

Furthermore, making a novel into a TV play often had risks. In consideration to the image of the roles in the novel, they had to take caution in casting.

The first one was that actors' appearance should be in line with the original image, and the second one was their acting skills.

Deep down, the director was not so reckless to hire several random people to destroy his reputation.

Melinda sensed the uneasiness in the director's tone and realized that her attitude was probably misleading.

She felt helpless, but it was also because of the director's words that she was a little relieved.
