He was more focused on waiting; waiting for Yadanar’s answer. He had come to the celebration with much anticipation.
Not long after, Eric’s tall and built figure entered the hotel. With his arrival, the entire venue was filled with excitement as everyone erupted in an applause.
Eric’s exp**ssion was indifferent. This was his empire, even if he didn’t say a word, no one would say he was arrogant. After all, everyone knew, the only reason for his appearance was because of one person.
It was because of Emma. Or perhaps, including the child in Emma’s stomach, he was here for two people.
Eric walked straight over to Emma and pulled her into his arms.
Seeing this, Jordyn could only look at Emma helplessly. And of course, Emma could only return her helpless gaze.
…
It didn’t take long before the birthday celebrations officially began. Music and dancing filled the venue; it was a lively scene. However, Zephaniah was the only one that remained seated in the corner staring at the entrance. Every now and then, he would glance down at his watch to check the time. It seemed, Yadanar wasn’t going to make an appearance…
But, just as Zephaniah decided he had no reason to stay, he suddenly heard some struggling sounds coming from the entrance. He was getting ready to leave, but was held back by a familiar voice, “Zephaniah, I don’t have an invite, I can’t come in.”
Zephaniah froze for a moment as he saw Yadanar poke her head into the venue, wearing a leather jacket and waving at him.
Everyone looked over, including Emma. This made Zephaniah slightly awkward as he ran over to the entrance, “This is my artist.”
“Sorry, Mr. Agerton,” the doorman apologized before leaving. Afterwards, Zephaniah looked down at Yadanar and asked, “Why did you come here dressed like this?”
“What? I didn’t steal nor snatch anything. Am I an embarrassment to you?” Yadanar squinted provokingly.
“You could have at least worn a dress. If you did, the doorman wouldn’t have stopped you at the entrance. Plus, don’t you know what type of event this is? Kaleidoscope’s Mr. Roborts and Emma are also present.”
Yadanar analyzed the scene and spotted plenty of big celebrities. However, she was strangely unaffected by the fact that she was wearing inappropriate clothing. Yadanar remained natural and calm, because deep down, she had never looked down upon herself.
Zephaniah was pleased to see this.
“So, does this mean you agree to signing with me?”
“Wait a moment. My mom wants to ask you a few questions,” Yadanar replied.
After speaking, Yadanar looked towards the spot where the old woman was hiding to find that she was currently peeking at Eric through one of the screens.
“Even the old madam knows how to admire handsome men…”
But, it may have been because the old woman was too excited, a loud bang suddenly echoed through the venue…
The screen suddenly toppled over and she was revealed in front of everyone…
“What’s this? Who is this person?”
“Did a fan sneak in?”
Everyone looked at the old woman questioningly. Even Eric seemed to have glanced over slightly.
The old woman was both excited yet frightened as she held onto her face mask and turned to apologize, “I’m so sorry.”
Jordyn didn’t like to cause trouble, so she did not hold the old woman accountable. She simply asked the hotel staff to tidy up the mess. However, as the hotel staff approached, they realized that the delicately designed screen was torn beyond repair.
The hotel staff did not know how to handle the matter since it now involved compensation, so they called the manager over.
As soon as the manager approached, his exp**ssion did not look pleased.
“Madam, do you know how much the screen you’ve damaged costs?”
The old woman didn’t want to cause a commotion, so she subconsciously took a few steps back. But, the hotel manager thought she wanted to run away. As a result, he quickly grabbed onto her arm and stopped her, “Don’t try to run away.”
Seeing this, Yadanar immediately walked over and pushed the manager away, “What are you doing? Don’t you dare touch my mother!”
As soon as the manager saw the clothes on Yadanar’s body, he was sure that she wasn’t an artist, but a fan that had snuck in. Hence, his attitude turned much colder, “I’m not sure how you managed to sneak into the hotel. But, since you’ve damaged the hotel’s property, you should compensate us in full. If this madam has a bit more self control, this screen may not have torn.”
“What nonsense are you speaking?” Yadanar was obviously angered. “If you have a problem, speak to me. Don’t insult my mother.”
Hearing these words, Emma approached the entrance with Jordyn and Eric. Seeing the sight before her, she couldn’t help but say to the manager, “Don’t judge a book by its cover. Your actions are of no benefit to your hotel.”
Realizing these words had come from Emma, the manager quickly lowered his head and gave an embarrassed smile.
With Eric and Emma so close, the old woman became even more nervous as she tightened the clothes around her body. To quickly resolve the problem and prevent herself from being discovered, she decided to speak up, “I will pay you back.”
“But, do you know how much this screen costs?”
Originally, Jordyn wanted to say something, but the old woman suddenly replied, “This screen is made by a brand that designs for the British royal family. There are no more than 50 hotels in the world that has the right to purchase from them.”
The manager froze as he stared at the old woman in surprise. He then added in a much more polite tone, “What about the price…”
“Hadassahng, give them our contact details. Let’s leave,” the old woman suddenly instructed hastily.
Actually, even Yadanar couldn’t understand how her mother knew about something so fancy. All of a sudden, she didn’t know how to react. At this time, Zephaniah stepped out and said to the manager, “I’ll pay for it.”
“OK, Mr. Agerton,” the hotel manager was more than happy to accept his offer.
Afterwards, Zephaniah casually turned to leave with the two women. However, Emma called him back, “Zephaniah, you have something that you haven’t given me.”
“I’ll deliver it to you later.”
The old woman quickly glanced at Eric before she lowered her head. However, her every move could not possibly escape Eric’s observant eyes.
Not long after, Zephaniah escorted the two women out of the hotel. After they boarded his car, Zephaniah finally said, “Auntie, I’ll take you home first.”
The old woman was trembling in extreme nervousness.
And of course, Zephaniah’s curiosity towards the old woman’s identity had been piqued.
“Mom, how did you know about the screen?”
“I saw it in the past,” the old woman said with slight nostalgia.
The brand of the screen was owned by an Asian, after all, how else would someone get a screen like this in England? But, more importantly, the old woman knew the owner pretty well.
“By the way, didn’t you have some questions for Zephaniah? Why don’t you ask him now?”
The old woman glanced at Zephaniah through the rear view mirror and lowered her head, “Forget it, I’ll ask him another time. You make your own decisions for now.”
Zephaniah was slightly confused. This old woman’s mood seemed to fluctuate dramatically.
“So, you came all the way to the hotel today, just to hand money over to them?” Yadanar rolled her eyes. “How much did the screen cost?”
“No less than $2 million,” Zephaniah replied on behalf of the old woman.
Yadanar glared at Zephaniah, “Since I’ve signed with you, then…you pay for it…”
“All because of a stunt double like you? How many scenes do you think you need to film before I get my money back? Or perhaps, how many people do you need to scam and steal from before you can clear this debt that you owe me?”
Hearing the words ‘scam and steal’, the old woman felt slightly uncomfortable. So she refuted, “Hadassahng is cheeky, but she’s never scammed nor stolen. She doesn’t need…”
The woman stopped without explaining any further, leaving the other two in the dark.
Only after the old lady arrived home, did Zephaniah finally ask Yadanar, “Don’t you think your mom is a little strange today?”
“She’s practically like another person. But..what does this have to do with you!” Yadanar looked Zephaniah up and down.
“Since you decided to sign my contract and become my artist, you will have to listen to everything I say.”
“Zephaniah, don’t go overboard. What if I turn out to be the heiress of a famous socialite family? I will get revenge on you someday,” Yadanar scoffed. However, she would never expect that her words would some day be the truth.
