“If you continue to work ’til this late at night, then don’t think about taking over Miller Corps!” Eric warned.
“Fine, it doesn’t matter if I don’t take over. But, there’s something that’s bothering me.”
Hearing this, Eric fell silent. He was well aware of what Emma was referring to…
Elodie wanted to remove Emma’s uterus and almost made her lose her baby. If she didn’t make her pay for what she had done, Emma would not be able to live in peace.
“Whatever she wants, I will take it from her.”
“I will always be here to back you up,” Eric assumed that Emma wanted him to be a spectator as usual. “The guys in Switzerland finally picked up the phone and I’ve already arranged for Luke to make arrangements. We’ve sent a private plane to bring their representatives here to meet with us.”
“You always know what I am thinking.”
“But, this is the limit to what I can do for you.”
Emma opened her eyes wide, straightened her body and placed a k**s on the corner of Eric’s l*ps before she said seductively beside his ear, “Our baby wants to greet his father…”
Eric’s gaze immediately deepened as he increased his speed towards the bedroom.
He then gently placed Emma on the bed and leaned over to k**s her…
“The doctor recommended a safe…position. When I went for my checkup, she taught it to me,” Emma’s ears turned red as she spoke gently. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, she had an extra womanly aura around her.
“So?” Eric t**sed.
“I want you,” Emma bit Eric on the ear…
“As you wish…”
Emma mustn’t have known that during the time that she was pregnant, her skin had gotten more supple and her body had gotten closer to being perfect. So, she of course did not know that everytime Eric hugged her to sleep, he had the urge to be intimate with her and to k**s every inch of her body…
…
The next morning, the family of three had breakfast in the dining room. After taking one glance at Eric, Bertha began to nag her daughter, “You should take better care of Eric. He was making phone calls for you until 3am last night.”
Emma was a bit surprised. Although she knew Eric had made phone calls, she didn’t know he stayed up ’til so late for it.
“It’s fine. Let’s eat,” Eric reassured Emma. “The representatives from Switzerland will arrive this morning and the board meeting will be held in the afternoon. So, you have plenty of time to re-secure the deal with them before you hand your victory to your secretary and get her to take it to the meeting on your behalf.
“OK,” Emma nodded. “But, if we come across a similar situation again in the future, I hope you can ignore it and come to bed with me. Nothing is more important than you.”
“Are you confident about re-securing the deal? The representatives from Switzerland won’t be easy to deal with.”
Emma knew what Eric wanted to ask and also knew that he was trying to change the topic, so she replied with a smile, “Your wife isn’t just a model and an actress.”
10am. Eric arranged for the representatives from Switzerland to to stay in a hotel near Kaleidoscope. The 3 men and 2 women seemed a bit annoyed by the trip.
“Didn’t we already avoid having to work with Miller Corps? The CEO is currently missing, so there is no way to continue with our collaboration. There are plenty of big companies waiting to work with us, why did the Boss insist for us to come to New York?” one of the representatives said in a puzzled tone as he sat on the sofa.
“Did you think you are the only one that doesn’t understand? We had to come all the way to this hell hole, where even the air is hazy.”
“Endure for a bit. We can leave after we meet with them.”
They each tidied up their stuff and followed a hotel staff to one of the hotel’s meeting rooms. However, as they arrived, they did not see the CEO of Kaleidoscope nor did they see Emma.
“What is this all about? Why isn’t a representative from Miller Corps here to greet us?”
“I’ve never seen a host arriving later than their guests. Is this some kind of etiquette?”
They were already frustrated by the fact that they were sent to New York. Now, with the added fact that no one from Miller Corps had appeared to greet them, they couldn’t help their exp**ssions from turning sour.
However, 5 minutes later, the door to the meeting room was pushed open. Emma walked in wearing a black coat and flat shoes as she greeted the group of representatives in fluent Italian, “It’s a pleasure to meet all of you.”
Out of the group of five, only one woman stood up to shake Emma’s hand. Meanwhile, the remaining four, leaned back on the their chairs and glared at her, “Based on your attitude today, there is no way we will work with you.”
“Let’s put business aside for now and have some food,” Emma maintained her smile as she turned and signaled to the waiter.
The representatives’ exp**ssions did not change. But…as soon as the waiter brought in one dish at a time and placed it on the table in front of them, their eyes lit up in surprise.
“How did you know that I like to eat lasagna?”
“This is my favorite cookie to go with coffee…”
“This…”
The party of five were surprised that Emma knew what they all liked. In fact, some of this information, they had never shared with the people around them.
Seeing this, one of the representatives finally revealed an interested smile and crossed his arms as he asked, “Can I ask, how did you find out what we liked?”
“I’ve looked at your profiles. Some of this food was written down – others I guessed,” Emma smiled. “For example, the lady beside you doesn’t seem to like drinking water.”
The woman that Emma was pointing to, nodded her head, “That’s right! How did you know?”
“That’s a secret. Feel free to give this food a taste and we can chat about it afterwards,” Emma deliberately kept them guessing as she held onto their curiosity. As they really wanted to hear Emma’s response, they forgot about their previous frustrations and started trying the food that was prepared for them.
Emma lowered her head and smiled, but she only drank water the entire time.
Half an hour later, everyone finished their meals. At this time, the man called Jean put down the knife and fork in his hands and said to Emma, “Although we are very thankful for your hospitality, we have already decided to cancel the collaboration with Miller Corps. We simply flew over this time to show Kaleidoscope some face.”
“It’s fine, I won’t force you. But, I have some statistics that you might be interested in.” After speaking, Emma gestured for Flossie to distribute the information to the five people seated at the table.
“This is the sales performance for Miller Corps in the final month of last year. The second document is the product that Miller Corps intends to promote in Europe. From our research, we have found that Europeans have been fascinated in Eastern medicine in recent years, but no one has invested into that market. Miller Corps has always been a leader in the perfume industry and have always given preference to our partner companies…We are planning to invest into this new market, and we would like to give you the opportunity to be at the forefront.”
The representatives looked at the information in their hands and threw it to one side, “There are plenty of big companies that have given better offers than you. Plus, Miss Miller, do you even understand perfume?”
“What if I add on one year of free endorsement?” Emma offered, “As a model, I am quite famous in Europe…”
The people around the table froze in surprise as they looked Emma up and down. At this time, someone suddenly realized, “You’re the famous supermodel, Emma?”
“I wouldn’t consider myself a supermodel…”
“So you are the new CEO of Miller Corps?” their opinion of her began to change.
“Yes.”
“I thought you looked familiar. So, you’re Emma, the legendary model. The model that ignited the Oriental Trend in the US and walked multiple high-class runways in Europe,” one of the female representatives started getting excited, “You’re amazing, we’ve heard a lot about you.”
“Thank you,” Emma remained modest.
“But you still need to answer our questions, do you understand perfume?” Jean insisted on getting an answer.
“I don’t understand perfume, but I know how to help you achieve the most rewarding return,” Emma replied straightforwardly.
After hearing this, the representative finally smiled, “I like your honesty. Compared to those that only know how to talk business, you are definitely a lot more likeable.”
“That’s because I can read people’s minds and that’s how I know what you all like. Do you believe me?” Emma placed both hands on the table and raised her chin as she spoke.
“In that case, what do you think I’m thinking right now?” Jean asked with an interested smile.
