Chapter 263 Teasing

"Don't worry. I won't let Emily play the leading role," Jonas said affirmatively. He would only drive Emily to the corner, and there was no reason to pave the way for her.

At the thought of Emily, he felt much angrier. How dare she speak out words like that? She was so good at flattering herself.

With his understanding of the entertainment circle, Jonas thought about the same thing as Melinda. Maybe Emily was able to do that by all means.

"You look so haggard because of it these two days?" asked Jonas, feeling heartbroken, especially after he saw the dark circles under Melinda's eyes.

Melinda smiled sheepishly, and did not deny it. She was indeed a very worried person.

Besides, she didn't want to bother Jonas with such trifles. If he knew what was on Melinda's mind, maybe he would be angry for a while secretly.

"Don't worry. I will take care of it. You should have a good rest after drinking the milk." Seeing the dark circles around her eyes, Jonas felt sad. He reached out his hand and touched the temperature of milk, but found that it was cold. Then he voluntarily made a new cup for her.

Looking at the hustle and bustle of Jonas, Melinda felt relieved for the first time.

Maybe that was not bad.

She was lost in her mind while Jonas was very careful. Then he brought the milk to her gently and then pushed her to sleep.

Lying on the bed, Melinda closed her eyes and smelled the familiar smell of Jonas. He had been protecting her all the time. She was no longer alone.

Not long after, Jonas heard her shallow breath from the bed.

Melinda hadn't slept at all and she had been worried all day. She was already exhausted. With a wry smile on the corner of his mouth and a touch of bitterness in his heart, he wondered what he could do to make her completely put down her guard.

Jonas stayed with her in the room for a long time, leaving a night light for Melinda. Then he took a blanket from the cabinet and went to the living room.

Although the room was soundproof, he still went to the balcony when he made the call.

The director was woken up by a phone call while he was sleeping soundly. When he saw the caller ID, his face suddenly changed.

"Mr. Gu, what can I do for you?" His voice indicated that he was drunk. Frowning, Jonas knew that many things in the entertainment circle were caused by drinking.

Emily also used such means, which he found when investigating her dirty news. Thinking of Melinda's worries, he believed that it was totally reasonable.

"Are you busy now?" His tone was very calm, but for some reason, it made people feel nervous. The director didn't know the purpose of this call and didn't know how to answer it.

"The news of the TV series has gone out. They are selecting the right actor and actress,"

the director said. It made Jonas feel that he was still busy with his time in TV series, so he should be no problem with it. However, he did not know that when Jonas heard that he was drinking like this because of the TV series, he felt that something bad was ha

her.

When Jonas went back to the bedroom, he saw that Melinda was still sleeping, but she frowned for some reason. He felt sorry for her and had a sense of powerlessness. But more he needed to find a way to protect Melinda better.

To make Melinda feel that she could rely on him.

After hanging up the phone, the director realized it after all the things were related.

Emily had told Melinda that she would be the leading role of the play. After that, she started to look for him to get the role, for she was afraid that she would be too shameful to fail in getting that role.

Emily was not able to do that, and she just wanted to use dirty rules. It was very common in the entertainment circle to try to do something in order to get the chance to star in plays or movies. He would meet one or two actors in each movie and play he shot.

However, if they used the dirty rules, they normally wanted to shoot more, there would be no one like Emily who was so arrogant and wanted to take the leading role.

If she was of great reputation as a pure and innocent girl in the past, the director might have thought about it. But now, she didn't have anything and he also got a hint from Jonas.

Even if he had to use a newcomer as the leading lady, he would not choose Emily.

"What an ambitious woman!" Elmer sighed. At the same time, he believed that Emily was a resourceful woman. Director Liu didn't say formulae at all last night. After that, he really talked a lot to Elmer for Emily.

At the thought of this, Elmer almost lost trust in front of Jonas because of this woman, and on second thought, Emily must be desperate to save face now, so he decided to play tricks on Emily.

Anyway, it was not his fault. Emily asked for it by herself.

But it took him a lot of effort to deal with this accident. Speaking was a technical work. He wanted to make Emily happy and do more things for him willingly.

As Elmer thought of this, a cunning smile appeared on his face. But at this time, Emily knew nothing about it.
