Love Contract novel Chapter 345

He picked up the phone beside his pillow and slid the screen to unlock it. Sure enough, Ena's message came on time.

Tm going to attend an interview tomorrow. I heard that you're going to shoot a movie in another city by that time. Take care always. Good night, Victor!"

There was even a cute emoji at the end of the message.

After reading the message, he put his phone back to where it was.

Ena texted him every night without fail, but he never replied. He was afraid that if he texted back, he would give her hope.

She was a good girl. Perhaps because of his unbearable past or because he still had not forgotten Mary that he always avoided Ena.

The next day in the Studio 1 of ZM TV.

"Hello, everyone! Thank you for watching our program "Stories of Celebrities". I'm Helena, the hostess for today." The hostess's cheerful voice echoed in the whole studio. 'Tm sure you've all been waiting for our tonight's guest. But don't you worry because here she comes! Everyone, let's give a round of applause for Ena Su! Welcome, Ena!"

Sitting on the sofa opposite the host, Ena was wearing a cute dress with floral print and an endearing smile on her face. After the audience's round of applause, she said gracefully and politely, "Thank you." "Before we begin, let's introduce Ena first," the hostess started. "Ena is twenty-three years old. She instantly became famous when she starred in the movie 'Be Together', making her the most popular actress today. Just recently, she completed another TV series. Would you like to tell our audience more details?"

"Of course! I hope everyone would pay attention to it," Ena replied with a smile. "It's a campus drama called 'Love in Primrose'. It will be aired next Monday. I hope you all like it."

"Wow! Ena, are you still going to play yourself in this drama series?" the hostess asked. "I heard that you just graduated from the university last year."

"Yes, I did." Ena nodded. "When the director of this play came to me, I accepted his proposal without hesitation. It reminded me of my good time at school. I miss it very much."

"Speaking of being a schoolgirl, I have the information that you majored in drama performance in college. Tell me, why did you decide to become an actress?"

Ena smiled at the question. "With the encouragement of my idol, I wanted to be a great and remarkable actress. The drama performance I learned before helped me a lot in different ways."

"I'm curious. Who is this 'idol' you're talking about?" The hostess smiled and added, "Is it Victor?"

"Yes, it is," Ena admitted frankly. "Victor was my idol, even until now. He is also a senior in our company and because of that, I have always admired him."

"We have some first-hand information here. There are some photos taken when you were younger. Ena, would you mind if I showed them to our audience?" "Of course not. Please go ahead." Ena smiled politely at the hostess. She thought that the audience in front of the TV might pass out when they saw her photos later.

The hostess's voice echoed again in the studio. "I believe that after seeing the photos, everyone will know how much encouragement Victor has brought to Ena. Let's show the first photo on the big screen.'¹

As soon as the hostess finished speaking, a photo of Ena when she was five years old appeared on the large screen behind them.

In the photo, Ena, who was cute and chubby, was eating an ice cream.

"How adorable!" the hostess exclaimed and turned to the next one.

"Wow!"

"Oh my God!"

The audience gasped in surprise. The hostess smiled at their reactions and remarked, "It's hard to believe that the person in the photo is sitting in front of me, right? I was also shocked when I saw that picture for the first time."

"That's definitely me," said Ena while smiling. "This photo was taken when I was a freshman in the university."

In the photo, Ena was wearing a cute dress, but she looked entirely different from now. Without any exaggeration, her legs were as thick as two ordinary person's arms. Moreover, her face was full of fat. Judging from the picture, she weighed approximately 165 pounds.

"I have been a foodie with large appetite ever since I was a child. I couldn't control my eating habits which is why I got bigger and heavier," explained Ena. "I was almost expelled from school at that time." "Why is that?" the hostess asked wide-eyed. "Just because you were plus-sized?"

"Yes, that's right." Ena nodded. Now that she could calmly talk about her past, it meant that she had really moved on.

"As you all know, I needed to take singing and dancing classes when learning drama performance. As a female student, I was too fat so I couldn't do a lot of elegant gestures. Even if I was able to do it, it would look very funny. So after I stayed at school for a month, my teacher persuaded me to drop out of my major and move to another program which did not require doing a performance. That time, it really hurt especially when I dreamt of becoming a performer since I was a child."

"Then?"

"And then I felt guilty. I knew I was not fit for it, but I didn't have the confidence to lose weight."

"So what did you do?"

"Well..." Ena thought for a while and answered, "I met Victor by accident when I was a freshman. To be honest, I was on the verge of giving up my dream. But because of him, I felt that my life had a new direction and meaning. I actually took a picture with him at the airport."

"We also have that precious photo." The hostess pointed at the screen and said, "Come on, let's have a look."

A photo of Victor and Ena was immediately displayed on the big screen. In the photo, Victor smiled faintly while Ena leaned against him with a look of admiration. To everyone's surprise, she was twice the size of Victor.

"I always take this photo with me. Every time I encounter difficulties, I look at it. This picture makes me realize that I can overcome everything." Ena laughed and added, "Ah, I was really fat at that time!" "What did Victor say to you at that time?" "He told me that I should not care about what others think, and that I just need to stick to my own thoughts. He said he was looking forward to seeing me on the screen one day and hoped I wouldn't let him down." After saying that, Ena blushed. No matter how long the memory had passed, she still could not help but feel her heart throb whenever she thought of Victor's gentle look that day.

"As you can see, everyone, Ena didn't disappoint Victor!" The hostess made an emotional conclusion and the audience gave a warm applause.

"There is still a long way for me to go to become an outstanding actress." Ena came to her senses and continued with a radiant smile, "There was actually nothing special about what he said at that time. 'Don't disappoint me.' It was just a simple encouragement. But for a 17-year old girl, hearing such a great encouragement from her idol felt better than winning a prize."

"Had nobody ever encouraged you before?" the hostess asked with a sigh.

"Aside from the support that my parents had given me, Victor was the only person who encouraged me."
