“Should I sign or not?”
Just as Yadanar was in the middle of a dilemma, she suddenly heard the sound of her front door opening. As she walked downstairs, she saw her mother appear in the doorway with her luggage. She immediately walked over to her, “Mom, where did you go?”
The old woman put down the luggage and looked at Yadanar dep**ssingly, “Hadassahng, mom has something to say to you.”
“Just say what you want to say. Why are you acting so serious?” Yadanar rolled her eyes and grabbed the luggage from the old woman’s hands. She then led her to the sofa.
The old woman remained silent for a short moment before she clasped Yadanar’s arm and said, “Actually…”
“Yes?”
The old woman looked at Yadanar, but struggled to speak. Everytime the words reached the edge of her l*ps, they would be swallowed back into her throat.
“Forget it. Mom’s tired, I want to get some sleep first.”
Yadanar’s curiosity had already been triggered, yet she was expected to drop it again? “Mom, we don’t have secrets bet**en us, do we?”
“Mom is seriously tired…” the old woman insisted.
“Fine, if you have nothing to say, I have something to say. I’ve been given the opportunity to be a stunt double. However, there is one condition, I need to sign myself to someone and follow his orders. What do you think?”
“Is it the young man that you hit last time?” The old woman thought for a moment and replied, “Sign it. I think that young man is pretty good.”
Another reason for her decision was because she knew that Zephaniah and Emma were on good terms. If they could draw a connection, it would be a lot easier for her to find out about Emma and Eric.
“How is he good?” Yadanar couldn’t hide her disgust, “But, since you aren’t worried, then I have no objections. I’ll sign it. It’s not like he’s going to take advantage of me. If he dares, I’ll chop off his balls.”
Hearing this, the old woman didn’t know if she had done the right thing by convincing her daughter to sign the contract.
Just a moment ago, she had almost revealed everything to Yadanar. But…if Yadanar was to find out the truth, according to her temper, she would definitely storm over to Kaleidoscope and cause trouble for Wren.
This was not what she hoped for. So, it was best for her to take things slow and plan things in detail.
In the meantime, by allowing Yadanar to sign with Zephaniah, she had given her daughter an excuse to get close to Eric and Emma. At least, this was an opportunity for the siblings to understand each other a little better.
Would Eric like this troublesome little sister?
“But mom, I have a problem. Zephaniah told me to give him my answer at Jordyn’s birthday event in two days time. However, I don’t have anything nice to wear.”
“Idiot, that means Mr. Agerton is already sure that you will sign with him so he is introducing you to some contacts,” the old lady immediately saw through Zephaniah’s intention.
“I know…”
“Are you trying to trick me into giving back the money I took?”
Yadanar was invited to Jordyn’s birthday celebration!
According to Jordyn’s relationship with Emma, there was no way that Emma wouldn’t attend.
The old woman realized, this may be the only chance that she’d get to see Eric.
“Hadassahng, since you’ve already decided to sign the contract, take mom with you. I’ve got a few things I want to clarify with Mr. Agerton.”
Yadanar was a little surprised. She never expected that there’d be a day when her mother would volunteer to attend a public event. So, she was completely speechless.
“What? Are you afraid that I’d embarrass you?”
“Who would dare say anything about my mother? Unless they have a death wish,” Yadanar immediately responded as she hooked her arm around her mother’s shoulder. “A person’s exterior is nothing! My mother is the best mother in the world. Of course, if she could pay me back my money, she would be even better.”
“I’ll pay you back, I’ll pay you back everything…”
She did not dare to reunite with Eric out of the blue, because her current state was much too ugly. Plus, over the years, she had already experienced all forms of strange looks, so she didn’t want Eric to be ridiculed in the same way.
Sometimes, in this world, having a pretty face had a lot of benefits.
Jordyn was a famous supermodel.
Even though she was married, her style and status was better than ever. She was internationally famous and had taken home many number one titles in Asia.
After all, Kaleidoscope’s PR manager turned Vice President, Fletcher, was her husband. So, he naturally planned out Jordyn’s career path neatly and with purpose.
So, knowing today was Jordyn’s birthday, Fletcher decked out the garden in the hotel for his beloved wife’s birthday to make her happy. As a result, there were decorations and surprises everywhere.
Not many people had been invited to Jordyn’s birthday celebration. Most of the guests were famous models from the fashion industry and friends from Kaleidoscope. As everyone arrived, they began chatting amongst themselves.
“I heard Emma will be coming tonight.”
“If Emma hadn’t decided to go act, her status would be so much higher than Jordyn’s right now. If you guys think Jordyn is amazing, you mustn’t have seen Emma on the runway before.”
A few young models gathered together to chat and drink wine.
Although they had gained a bit of fame, if they wanted to be notable within Kaleidoscope and rival Jordyn, they still had a long way to go.
These girls had attended the celebration tonight as plus-ones. But, in reality, this was the work of a few managers from Kaleidoscope who wanted to use this opportunity to help their artists advance in status. In other words, they were trying to ride Jordyn’s coattail.
As they were from Kaleidoscope, Fletcher naturally turned a blind eye. After all, this was a trick that he had also used in the past.
“I’ve also seen Emma act. I must say, it is a gift from God.”
“But lately, Mr. Roborts’s situation with his family hasn’t been very good. Plus, Emma’s relationship with her mother-in-law has been filled with arguments. Could it be that Emma’s child is actually unwell. Plus, in her current state, will she ever return to the runway?”
“She is 27-years-old after all.”
Overhearing their conversation from behind, Jordyn immediately approached the girls. Her smile was friendly, but her ruthlessness was hidden beneath her soft appearance, “It seems you girls haven’t understood the rules at Kaleidoscope yet. Especially since you’re talking about Emma. Are you giving up on your future?”
The girls immediately shut their mouths timidly after hearing Jordyn’s warning.
But, no matter how much time passed, Jordyn couldn’t get used to people gossiping about Emma.
“If I hadn’t witnessed it, would you have protected me for nothing?” Emma suddenly laughed from behind. Jordyn turned around to see her pregnant friend; as energetic and beautiful as ever.
“These small-time models are unaware of the rules.”
Emma glanced at Jordyn. She then walked around her and said to the models, “If you think you’ve reached a position where you can gossip about me as you please, then say it to my face.”
The girls’ faces turned white as they looked at each other nervously.
“Remember, within this industry, disaster comes from careless talk. No matter how much you can’t resist gossiping, you should hold your t***ue. Otherwise…”
Emma’s voice was gentle, like she was giving the young models a kind warning. But, the girls could sense the danger emanating from her words.
So, before Emma continued to say anything else, the girls quickly ran away in fear.
“You’re still the same. You never allow yourself to suffer any loss,” Jordyn laughed.
“Why should I?”
“Where’s Mr. Roborts?” Jordyn looked around after realizing Emma was on her own.
“He will come later. He has something to attend to.”
The two women hadn’t seen each other for a while, so they obviously had endless topics to discuss. At this time, Zephaniah entered the hotel carrying a birthday present and approached the two, “I hope this beauty doesn’t mind that I came uninvited.”
Because of his relationship with Emma and recent close contact with Fletcher at work, it wasn’t unusual for Zephaniah to attend Jordyn’s birthday.
“Fletcher’s over there,” Jordyn hinted for Zephaniah not to disturb her conversation with Emma.
After putting down his present, Zephaniah shrugged his shoulders and wandered into the crowd.
