In the dimly lit room, the two looked at each other.

However, Holden felt Ariadne was being too confident.

If one was to say, over the years, Ariadne relied on schemes to gain connections and resources, then Holden’s methods, were definitely more similar to Emma’s. They both enjoyed keeping calm and collected as they watched their prey panic.

After being upset by Emma and stressed by Zephaniah, Ariadne was a total mess…

“President Lopez isn’t as easy to deal with as you think.”

“Hypocrite! Coward!” Ariadne glared at Holden as she yelled at him angrily. “You’ve always been making advancements steadily, even if it means sacrificing others. If you don’t want to cooperate, then fine, tomorrow I will go look for Xanthe myself.”

After speaking, Ariadne stood up to leave. But, she was held back by Holden, “I didn’t say I won’t help you. Tomorrow, we’ll go see President Lopez together.”

Holden understood that Zephaniah’s threat was much bigger than Ariadne’s. Since he had an opportunity to take him down, he wasn’t going to let it go to waste…

Midday the next day. H World CEO’s office. Xanthe was a bit surprised as Ariadne and Holden walked into her office. She lifted her chin slightly and asked, “What is it? Speak. We have a press conference to organize at 2pm.”

“President Lopez, I am here to resign,” Ariadne handed her resignation to President Lopez leisurely.

“Me too,” Holden also placed an envelope on Xanthe’s desk.

Xanthe’s expression changed as she questioned the two, “What is the meaning of this?”

“We are happy that Zephaniah has returned. But, as you know, we have an unhappy history with him, so it will be awkward for us to stick around. Since Zephaniah is back, then it is time for us to leave. We hope President Lopez can fulfill our request!”

Xanthe had a complicated look across her face as she slowly sneered, “Are you trying to threaten me?”

“President Lopez, yesterday, Her Vision and I signed a contract. But, Zephaniah came between us and forced them to cancel my contract. I really don’t want to make things difficult for you, but…I also don’t want to make things difficult for myself. So, I hope you can fulfill my request.”

Xanthe clenched the letter in her hand; she had finally seen through their true intention, they wanted her to get rid of Zephaniah. How could a CEO, like herself, be threatened by two managers?

“You can go downstairs first. This matter, I will handle as you please.”

Ariadne and Holden looked at each other; a huge load had been taken off their shoulders.

Since Xanthe had not authorized their resignation, it meant she was considering the other option. So, when she said she would handle the matter as they please, what she meant to say was, today’s homecoming ceremony would now be turned into a dismissal ceremony.

Above all, they had control of H World’s resources and Zephaniah had nothing. Ariadne refused to believe that Xanthe would risk putting H World into turmoil for the sake of Zephaniah.

Xanthe watched as the two left her office. She had used so much self-control to hold back the urge to throw the resignation letters in their faces. How dare these two impudent fools try to threaten her?

Since they wanted to resign so badly. Their request was worth fulfilling!

…

2pm. The press conference was to go ahead as normal…

Today was a day that was worthy of celebrating for H World, as ex-artists-director Zephaniah was to return and help the business grow. Meanwhile, the media were trying to dig up as much dirt about Zephaniah as possible. In particular, the news about him and Sabrina’s relationship was once again hyped up.

At this time, Emma was on her way to H World Entertainment. She was wearing a golden lace dress and around her neck hung a beautiful diamond necklace. Her hair was styled with soft curls and her makeup was glamorous without being overbearing; a look which was completely different to her usual plain style. Eric, who was sitting beside her, couldn’t help but take another look.

“What is it?” Emma turned to question Eric, revealing her delicate white neck, “You don’t recognize me anymore?”

The usual Emma didn’t demand attention; she was quiet and pleasant. Whereas the Emma, at this moment, was stylish and dazzling with the aura of a queen.

This change seemed to mimic Emma’s attitude. While she was planning out her revenge, she kept a low profile. However, from now on, she wanted to grab everyone’s attention and amaze them.

Eric straightened his posture and reached out to grab hold of Emma’s chin. Staring at her plump red lips, he couldn’t help but kiss down on them, leaving his own lips stained with some of her lipstick.

Emma was surprised. She smiled gently as she wiped his lips with her finger, “President Roberts, what are you trying to do?”

“Trying to swallow you whole,” Eric gazed at Emma as he whispered in a deep and seductive voice.

“It seems you like it when I wear lipstick.”

“You look beautiful,” Eric admitted, “Wear it more often.”

“OK, you can apply it for me…” Emma gently nodded her head. She never imagined, such a small gesture could steal this man’s heart. “Alright, I’m almost at H World. I will get off here.”

“If anything happens, give me a call.”

“Even if you didn’t say it, I would still call you…after all, you are the closest person to me.”

Eric was satisfied with her response as he smiled. The corners of lips curved high; his smile seemed to contain a magic that captured one’s soul.

Emma waved at Eric. It was not until he had left that she contacted Xanthe.

There was still half an hour until the press conference. Following Xanthe’s arrangements, Emma made her way to H World’s secret waiting room and patiently waited for the show that was about to start.

All preparations were in place. At this time, Xanthe told Zephaniah about Ariadne and Holden’s attempt to threaten her; she was furious.

Ariadne and Holden seemed to have lost themselves in an abyss of power and desire; they no longer took note of anything else.

“Zeph, it’s so good that you’ve returned…” After entering H World, Zephaniah ran into an old staff; it seemed she was looking forward to his return.

Zephaniah smiled with a sense of distrust.

Just as they entered the lift, Ariadne appeared with Magnolia. They looked at each other. Ariadne contained her unhappiness and turned her back to Zephaniah.

“Zeph, now that you’ve returned, you won’t be leaving us again, right?”

Zephaniah glared at the back of Ariadne’s head, at the evil woman before him. His eyes were deep and complicated, but he didn’t forget to reply, “Of course.”

Hearing this, Ariadne gave a “hmmph”, but no one heard it. After the lift emptied out, she finally started speaking.

“You know what, I don’t think President Lopez is 100% satisfied with you. After all, you previously abandoned H World and went overseas. What do you think?”

“I don’t think it’s up to a small manager like you to determine whether she is satisfied or not,” Zephaniah replied coldly.

“Really? In a moment…don’t embarrass yourself,” Ariadne’s words contained a deeper meaning. She didn’t turn around to face Zephaniah even once.

Of course, Zephaniah knew what she was getting at as he too replied with a deeper meaning, “I guessed right about your contract getting canceled. I wonder what else I can guess right about.”

“Ariadne, remember this, Xanthe did not depend on you to get H World to this level!”
