Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Emma’s eyes fired up. She did not respond.

Zephaniah had a mixed expression but nodded anyway, “I will do what I should do…”

“Emma, I won’t force you, but, think about it carefully…”

“No need to think. If we get exposed, I will take full responsibility. We are…inseparable,” Emma responded in a serious tone. Her voice was firm and did not contain a trace of doubt.

Xanthe looked at Emma thoughtfully and smiled, “Then let’s not worry about it anymore. By the way, have you guys seen the news about Kaleidoscope?” Xanthe poured them each a glass of red wine, “Two international superstars is a huge loss for Kaleidoscope.”

Hearing the words ‘Kaleidoscope’, Emma’s expression became sad. All she could do was clink wine glasses with Xanthe, but she did not say a word.

“Emma, in all honesty, have you ever considered joining Kaleidoscope?”

Lisa wanted to laugh as she stood to the side, but she didn’t dare. As if Emma needs to go to Kaleidoscope! She is already the wife of Kaleidoscope’s CEO and owns half of Eric’s shares.

“Kaleidoscope is not a place that I can go to, just because I want to…” Emma was aware of how strict Eric managed his business. A model like herself was common; she wasn’t even worthy of mentioning.

“I’ve always wanted to go to Kaleidoscope…I want to…try out the role of the CEO’s wife,” Xanthe laughed. In reality, her words were 30% joke and 70% truth. It was just that, Eric was too hard to get close to; he never gave any woman a chance.

But, of course, they had no chance…

His wife was currently sitting right opposite Xanthe.

Emma glanced at Lisa, gesturing her not to reveal any emotions. Lisa was annoyed as she stuck her tongue at her.

After their meeting with Xanthe, Zephaniah obediently escorted Emma home, “Where do you live?”

“Hyatt Regency,” Emma replied. Seeing Zephaniah start up the car, she reiterated, “Don’t forget what you promised me: You will not interfere with my private life.”

“You don’t need to put your guard up…” Zephaniah replied helplessly. “Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. Holden and Ariadne, on the other hand, aren’t easy to deal with, so I will need some time to prepare.”

“Those two have set up so many traps for our Emma. Luckily, they haven’t succeeded once,” Lisa exclaimed. “Do they think Emma is easy to bully?”

This was exactly the reason Zephaniah admired Emma. Even when surrounded by Ariadne and Holden, she was not suppressed. Instead, her popularity continued to rise.

“They owe me quite a lot…”

Emma had heard about Zephaniah’s relationship with Sabrina and was aware that he used to be close friends with Ariadne. However, whatever happened between them, only they knew.

“Prepare yourself well for the Contract Signing Ceremony.”

Emma was the protagonist, so of course, she had to be well-prepared. Ariadne had previously caused a commotion, so she wasn’t going to let her get her way this time. As for Holden…

…after what he did at the charity event and all the schemes he set up against her, she wasn’t going to let him off easily.

After returning home and looking at the empty living room, Emma was tempted to give Eric a phone call. But realizing it was 2am in the US, she didn’t want to disturb him. In the end, Eric sent her a message first, “Are you home yet?”

Emma’s heart lit up as she replied quickly, “Did Lisa tell you?”

“I was worried, so I made Lisa report every little detail.”

Emma smiled as she held onto her phone and called Eric, “I saw the news about Kaleidoscope, have you made any progress?”

“The matter has been solved,” Eric replied casually.

“When will you be back?”

“After I see a few more people,” Eric sounded a bit tired.

“I miss you,” Emma was hesitant, but in the end, she gathered her courage and spoke with her heart.

Hearing these three words, Eric couldn’t help but sit up in bed. He wanted so badly to wrap Emma in his embrace. So, he didn’t just think it. He immediately put his thought into action as he instructed Luke to help him book a flight and left the follow-up work for Asa to handle.

Eric had always dealt with matters quickly. After determining the value of the production crew for ‘Deadly’, he immediately negotiated with Asa, became the main source of funds for the film and took full control of the crew. Afterwards, he replaced the staff involved with the explosion, sent them a legal notice and demanded them to compensate for loss and injuries made to his actors.

After a busy day, he finally got some time to rest, but at that moment he received a phone call from Lisa, “Big Boss, you are a real distraction to our Emma…”

“Huh?” Eric didn’t understand what she meant.

“Did you know Emma’s mind has been elsewhere ever since returning from the US? I asked if she was afraid of a second betrayal and do you know what she said?” Lisa said proudly; it wasn’t every day that she had the chance to tease the Big Boss.

“What did she say?”

“You should ask her yourself,” Lisa said playfully as she hung up the phone.

Eric bit his lip helplessly. Emma’s assistant really needed to be taught a lesson. In reality, he too was a bit distracted. Especially when Emma wasn’t by his side.

So, he picked up his phone again and sent her a message, “I will never hurt you, so…can you tell me what you told Lisa?”

After seeing the message, Emma was a bit confused. She remembered how she had told Lisa she had fallen in love with Eric. Her face flushed red as she replied, “No, I can’t.”

“I feel we are thinking the same thing,” Eric deliberately gave Emma a chance to avoid answering him.

“What are you thinking?”

“I’ll tell you when I get back. I might need to stay here for another week…”

Emma’s curiosity had been sparked. However, the thought of having to wait a whole week to see Eric again made her sad again.

Eric didn’t explain anything. He gently convinced her to go to sleep. Emma was extremely tired as she hugged Eric’s pillow and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Zephaniah arrived to pick up Emma. He had accepted the front cover shoot of a top-level magazine for her. However, as she headed downstairs, she heard the noise of the front door opening. In shock, she froze, thinking it was all a dream.

Eric put down his luggage and spread out his arms.

Emma immediately leaped into his arms and hugged him tightly.

“I miss you, I like you, I…may possibly even, love you,” Eric said as he kissed Emma’s forehead.

Hearing Eric’s confession, Emma was dumbfounded.

“I told you, I would tell you everything once I got back…”

Emma pulled away from Eric’s embrace; her eyes began to turn red. Even when she was betrayed by Nathan, she wasn’t this emotional.

“Emma, I will only say this once. Because from now on, I will express it through my actions. Let’s seal it with a kiss. If you can feel my love, then let me know by giving me a kiss.”

Emma lowered her head and thought for a moment before lifting her head. Grabbing onto Eric’s neck, she drew him in for a loving kiss…
