Chapter 373 The Protagonist Is Uncertain
Melinda said nothing but smiled. The director, on the other hand, excused that he had to leave and followed Melinda. When Victor saw this, he frowned.
The servant was supposed to support Melinda, but because of the director's interference again and again, she was almost pushed aside, so she was the first one to lose her good impression of the director. No matter how good tempered Melinda was, she couldn't help frowning.
"Director, it seems that the elevator can't carry so many people." One of the bodyguards couldn't help but say when he saw that the director was about to follow them when they took the elevator. Melinda needed enough space. It wouldn't be crowded, but it was scary to make Melinda in a small space.
The director smiled awkwardly and watched Melinda leave.
The group of people left. It was not one or two days to choose the actors. Although there was a temporary list, there were several roles in it.
Besides, they had to think too much about it.
Melinda's novel was not popular at first, but recently it became lively because of Alice. The identity of Alice as a mistress was the most disgusting thing for most of the readers.
There were many comments below the novel on the website, all of which were against the idea of letting Alice act the heroine, and many of them said the one whom they wanted to be the heroine.
In the past, when Melinda read the comments, she would be happy, but now she began to worry. There were no comments about the novel, and the only ones were seen below.
In the following days, Melinda worked in the company longer and longer. Her previous position had been occupied, and when she arrived at the company, she was basically in Victor's office. On the other hand, there was nothing between Melinda and Victor. But as time went by, Jonas felt uncomfortable when he thought that Melinda had spent more time with Victor than he did.
But he had promised to let Melinda out. It was too late to retort, but it was true that he was jealous.
This made Jonas feel very sad. Now he was thinking about how to stop Melinda from going to the company.
If her body allowed, Melinda wished she could work from 9 o'clock in the morning to 5 o'clock at night, but in the end, it could only be an extravagant hope.
On the weekend, even Jonas had time to rest, but Melinda was going to the company. Recently, the selection of the actress had not been decided, and there were still some contradictions in many ways. Although Melinda had power, she couldn't directly decide who to use.
Victor was the one with the least say in the matter, but his insight into people satisfied Melinda very much.
On the contrary, the director's way of flattering others made Melinda feel very uncomfortable, and she even had the idea of changing the director.
When she arrived at the company, almost everyone was working overtime. It was the end of the month, and everyone was working on the draft.
Seeing this kind of atmosphere, Melinda really had a feeling of nostalgia. She did not know how long it had been since she touched the keyboard with her hands and wrote down the story.
But not long after Melinda arrived at the office today, her phone rang. Jonas said that he could not find his tie and asked where it was.
"I'm not tidying up your things now. You can ask auntie or other servants, or you can change another one." Hearing this, Melinda frowned.
As a matter of fact, it was Jonas who remembered everything's position at home, and she seldom knew where these things were placed at home. She didn't expect that Jonas would call her for such a thing.
"Auntie said it was you who cleaned it. I have to wear that tie with my clothes today," Jonas said, but Melinda was more confused. When did she sort out his stuff?
But since she was pregnant, Melinda felt that her memory was not that good as usual. She thought that she might sort it out on a whim one day, but now she couldn't remember at all.
"I really don't know. Why don't you ask Ted to buy you a new one?" Melinda suggested again, but Jonas's tone became more and more serious, as if the tie was very important. "That's limited,"
Jonas said, but became anxious. He had said it for such a long time, but Linda was still unwilling to come back. Had he been abandoned?
All of a sudden, Jonas began to give up himself.
"Okay, I'll come back and help you find it." Melinda didn't expect Jonas to be so stubborn. After hanging up the phone and telling Victor, she asked the driver to send her back home as soon as possible. The reason was simple, because Jonas said he was in a hurry to go out and wanted to see an important person today. For that tie, he also described it ambiguously. When Melinda returned home and looked for it in the clothes room, she was a little confused.
She was pregnant, so she had been accompanied by Jonas all the time. Seeing that Melinda was a little tired, Jonas felt a little regretful.
But he felt relieved that Melinda came back.
Finally, Melinda found the tie in the wardrobe where the shirt was hidden. It was sandwiched in a shirt, so she did not see it. She thought that the servant would not do such a careless thing.
She began to feel a little guilty, thinking that she must have done it by herself. She didn't know that it was all arranged by Jonas.
"Put it on and go to the company. I'm sorry. I'll be more careful next time," Melinda said guiltily. She wanted to tie a tie for Jonas, but found that it was not suitable for her, so she gave it to him discouraged.
"Okay, thank you, honey." Jonas was in a good mood. He kissed on Melinda's cheek. Before leaving, he said worriedly that Queena seemed to be in a bad mood today and asked Melinda to stay at home with her.
Therefore, Melinda didn't go to the company this day. She stayed at home with Queena. Seeing that Melinda was willing to stay at home, Queena naturally wanted it.
Queena would also care about Melinda's work and ask her about her recent selection. During this period of time, Melinda had to start over to understand a lot of information.
Recently, she had only sorted out the current situation, but there were more news about Alice's acting in the outside world. Everyone had the same feeling that this role was Alice's.
But when Melinda talked about it with Queena, she spoke out what she was thinking.
"I hope that Jessica can act the leading role. I think she is suitable for this role," said Melinda. She felt that Jessica was a perfect match for the heroine.
This novel was written on the opposite side of her character. Melinda was gentle and easy to be afraid of something, so when she did something, she was inevitably afraid of many things. Therefore, she hoped that the protagonist of her work was the kind of person who would do things briskly and have a forthright character.
As for Jessica, she was the right person.
"Jessica Shen? Isn't that a singer?" Hearing this, Queena said in surprise. Although there were not many people in the entertainment circle, there were definitely many people, all kinds of people. Why didn't any of them meet Melinda's expectations and she finally put her mind on a singer?
"Yes, although she is a singer, I believe she can do it through my understanding of her," Melinda said. In fact, she was hesitant to say it out.
After all, Jessica had been working hard in the music industry all these years. She didn't even take part in MV.
"But people outside are saying that you will choose Alice, aren't you? They also said that you two had met and talked about it." Because of Melinda, Queena began to pay attention to these things in the entertainment circle, so she knew them well at this time.
Hearing this, Melinda felt a little helpless. The two met each other, presumably last time in the coffee shop.
"I don't think it's a good idea. I'm thinking about how to refuse her now," Melinda said helplessly. She was a member of the Gu family now, so she wouldn't do things as before that didn't think about the consequences.
She would consider whether her behavior would bring trouble to the Gu family.
During this period of time, what she thought most was how to tell Alice about it. The current situation was really too complicated.
She was really worried that Colson would spoil Alice so much that it would be difficult for her to shoot her novel in the end.
She didn't want to bother Jonas with her own business.
During the whole afternoon, Melinda and Queena talked a lot, but they never spoke out all their troubles, basically happy things. At the same time, Melinda wanted to tell her that she was fine in the company
now.
At the same time, the news about the selection of the play had been widely spread, but there was no official information. Alice saw that the main character of the novel had not come down. Thinking of the attitude of Melinda when she met her, she was somewhat uncertain.
The news had gone out. If she didn't get the role in the end, it would be a great shame.
Thinking of this, Alice couldn't wait any longer in the office. She rushed to Colson's office. In the past, when she came here, there would be a secretary who would report something and follow the company's procedures. But since their relationship was exposed, the two of them simply ignored these.
No one dared to stop Alice from coming here. When she arrived at Colson's office, he was talking with someone through the phone. Seeing her coming, he told the other side in a hurry and hung up the phone.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" Noticing that Alice didn't look well, Colson was a little worried. Although he was old, he had been well maintained these years. Besides, he had a strong sense of fashion in the entertainment circle.
