Emma looked deep into the eyes of the man as she returned to her usual calmness and smiled, “I don’t have a boyfriend.”
All she had was a husband!
Seeing Emma in denial, the man did not continue to be forceful. But the glow in his eyes made Emma feel uneasy. She had a feeling, this man would keep his eye on her in the future.
“The Ariel incident has caused such an uproar, but it seems, Miss Miller is not affected at all.”
Emma smiled, it was obvious she no longer wanted to engage in small talk. This was something she often did when she wanted to keep a distance with people. The man seemed to have sensed her intention, so he stopped talking and returned to his seat.
Emma assumed the man had not seen Eric’s face, or else his tone of voice would not be like this; there was no way he wouldn’t know the consequences of offending Kaleidoscope.
The reporter sat diagonally from Emma. Before placing his eye mask on, he glanced over at her with a mocking smile. Although he did not see the man clearly…he knew when Emma said she had no boyfriend, things weren’t that simple.
All along, it was hard to find anything bad about Emma because she was extremely careful. But, if someone was to uncover something, it would definitely be big news. So, he was determined to follow her. This time…he was certainly lucky.
Here she was acting all morally intact, yet in the end, she was messing around with a man!
Emma felt uneasy. After disembarking from the plane, she immediately sent a message to Eric, “Eric, we have been discovered…At the airport, a reporter saw me getting out of your car. I’m not sure how much he saw, but he doesn’t seem to be a trustworthy person.”
Eric had just stepped out of the bathroom. Seeing Emma’s message, he creased his eyebrows, “Focus on your contract signing. I will handle the matter.”
“When will you be back?”
“I’m not sure yet.”
Seeing these four words, Emma was tempted to respond with ‘I miss you’, but she was afraid it would distract him from his work. So, she quickly changed her response to ‘I’ll wait for you’.
After picking her up, Lisa noticed Emma looked a bit unhappy. She could guess it was because she had to separate from Eric, “I saw the news about Kaleidoscope, is Big Boss OK?”
“Uh huh,” Emma nodded.
Lisa examined the look on Emma’s face through the rear-view mirror as she drove. She spoke with mixed feelings, “Emma, have you noticed you’ve fallen too deep? Even when you were with Nathan, you weren’t this distracted. Most importantly, you’re only separated from Big Boss for a few days, it’s not the end of the world.”
Emma was a little startled as she nodded her head and admitted, “I think…I’m in love with Eric.”
“He’s your husband, it is your right to love him. But, what about him? How does Big Boss feel?” Lisa observed Emma’s expression; even with Eric’s pampering, Emma still lacked a sense of security. “You and Big Boss have not been together for long and have not gone through enough together. But, Emma, you should ask yourself…if Big Boss did the same thing as Nathan and betrayed you…would you be able to handle it?”
Emma was silent for a good while. Thinking about the time she had spent with Eric, she regained her confidence, “I am no longer the same Emma. There is no way I wouldn’t be able to spot a second Nathan; I believe in my choice this time. No matter what, I will be with him to the end. By the way Lisa, you should make preparations. When Eric took me to the airport we were discovered by a reporter.”
“What do you want to do?” Lisa was so shocked she instinctively stepped on the brakes.
“Even if my relationship with Eric was to be exposed, I want it to be under my control. Let’s just observe for now…” Emma replied in a serious tone.
“In that case, let’s get ready for H World’s Contract Signing Ceremony. I’ll take you to see President Lopez.”
Emma nodded as Lisa turned on the radio. The entertainment news had now shifted its focus from Ariel to Kaleidoscope’s actors.
“This Ariel sure is lucky.”
She was only lucky because the ultimate weapon in Eric’s hand had not yet been revealed.
Seeing Emma remain silent, Lisa could tell she was still worried about Eric, so she switched the channel to some relaxing music, “There’s nothing you can do to help. Big Boss will be able to handle it; Kaleidoscope is so big, are you afraid Big Boss will be tired out?”
Emma pressed her lips together, “When you care about a person, no matter how capable they are, you will still worry about them.”
Lisa choked a little as she remained silent. Not long after, they pulled up at Xanthe’s home; Zephaniah was also present.
This was the first time Zephaniah and Emma officially met. Yet, this man had already caused her trouble and cleaned up after himself.
So, Emma did not have a good impression of him. However, she remained calm and unfazed.
“Because your contract is still a secret, we had to meet here at my home. I hope you don’t mind,” Xanthe handed Emma a cup of coffee. “I want to know your thoughts regarding Zephaniah.”
“I’m willing to work with him,” Emma responded calmly, “But, I have one request: do not interfere with my private life.”
Zephaniah lifted his head to look at Emma from the sofa he was sitting on. He realized this 26-year-old model had a terrifying level of self-control; she had her emotions completely contained. So, he smiled, stood up and walked over to her as he stuck out his hand, “I look forward to working with you.”
“I hope you won’t make a mistake like EH again.”
Hearing this, Zephaniah smiled naturally as he pointed to his head, “Don’t worry, I’ll use my head as a guarantee.”
“Emma, after joining H World your competition will be even worse than before. Both Ariadne and Holden have control over a few top grade models, so it’s unavoidable that you will have to fight for resources…”
“That is my problem to deal with. There is no need for President Lopez to worry,” Zephaniah butted in.
Xanthe lifted an eyebrow, “Can you fight better than them?”
“Just wait and see.”
“Fine, I will prepare a grand contract signing ceremony. When the time comes, I will let you have the honor of announcing Emma’s addition to our agency…”
Xanthe’s authority was currently being disregarded by Ariadne and Holden, so she was in desperate need of a team like Zephaniah and Emma to keep them in check. From now on, the battle with Holden and Ariadne would officially start…
“Oh that’s right Emma…you’re not in a relationship at the moment, are you?” Xanthe suddenly asked. It was expected of an artist to reveal this type of stuff to their agency in case of any sudden incidences that may go out of control.
Emma appeared hesitant, but…in the end, she decided to be honest, “Yes, I am.”
Xanthe was stunned for a moment. She realized she did not fully understand Emma yet, “What would you do if you get exposed? Emma, you’ve already surpassed the prime modeling age, you can’t afford to have any scandals.”
“The contract does not restrict me from being in a relationship. Plus, he is not merely my boyfriend…he is my family.” And also…lover.
“Consider letting it go!” Xanthe relaxed a little, “Zephaniah, prepare to keep this under wraps.”
