Chapter 144 – My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

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

After arriving at Dynasty Hotel, Zephaniah and Lisa were greeted by the sound of a door closing – Eric had shut them out of the room. This entire time, all Zephaniah saw was Eric’s back.

Emma met international standards with a height of 178cm; even putting on slight heels would push her to roughly 185cm. So, standing next to her, an average man would be looking to get shamed. Even Zephaniah, at 187cm, did not look like he was much taller when standing next to Emma. Yet, this man…with his arm wr*pped around her, he managed to give off the feeling that around him, Emma was a lovely and obedient little woman!

It wasn’t just his figure that gave off this feeling, most importantly, it was also his presence.

He radiated with an unoffendable majesty, unchallengeable might and unapproachable danger, making Zephaniah slightly nervous.

This man was definitely not a normal person.

Zephaniah froze for a moment before turning to look at Lisa. His thin eyelids blinked, “You must have known who this man was for a long time.”

The warmth in the hotel made it possible for Lisa to finally come out from under her thick down jacket. Sticking her eyes out, she replied, “Of course, I’ve been by Emma’s side for 3 years now. I also know that if you had been even a little more attentive of Emma, he wouldn’t have had to come along…”

“So, are you trying to say, he came all this way because he was worried about Emma?”

“Duhh…he’s an extremely busy person…every time he comes out he needs to finish all his work days in advance,” Lisa automatically rolled her eyes at Zephaniah. “You saw it yourself. He’s the type of person who would rather freeze himself than to allow for Emma to get cold. If it was you, would you be able to do that?”

All along, Zephaniah had assumed that the man backing Emma was shady and not anyone of importance.

However, after the scene that just played out in front of him, he changed his mind. It seemed, this man was indeed important, but whether he was shady was still a question to be answered…

“Let’s go. Let’s make our way to the hotel we booked,”Zephaniah smiled. The shoot was to take place over 2 days. So, he refused to believe he would not get the chance to see the man in person.

As soon as the two stepped out of Dynasty Hotel, they realized, the hotel organized by the company was actually right opposite. If they wanted to see Emma, all they would have to do was make a phone call without drawing too much attention.

Zephaniah stood by his room window and looked at the magnificently grand building opposite. He had a feeling Emma’s man must be very capable to be able to plan everything perfectly and cover all bases like he did.

…

On the streets of Moscow, it was still snowing a light powdery snow. From the moment they entered their room, Eric had turned the room heater to maximum. On top of that, he stripped off his jacket and placed Emma’s hands against his warm chest. Emma resisted as she shook her head, “My hands are freezing…you’ll catch a cold.”

“Then go have a hot bath,” Eric led Emma into the bathroom and filled a bathtub full of hot water before carrying her into the bubbles. He made her stay there until her whole body warmed up.

“Better?”

“Much better,” Emma replied as she huddled up to him. “Moscow sure is cold.”

“If tomorrow’s shoot is completely outdoors, then don’t do it…”

“It’s OK, I can take it.” Even international supermodels couldn’t be picky about their work environment, let alone an A-Grade model like herself. What right did she have? She wasn’t that delicate.

“You’re already cold to this extent, how could you say it’s OK?” Eric looked at her red nose as he gently patted it with a warm towel. “I shouldn’t have let you accept Her Vision’s cover.”

Emma lifted her head and looked at his serious exp**ssion. She suddenly started laughing.

“How could you be laughing…”

“When I see you anxious about me, I feel happy,” Emma held onto Eric’s hand and placed it on her chest. “Don’t dote on me so much.”

“I enjoy being like this, are you trying to deprive me of my right? Mrs. Roberts…”

Emma did not say any more. She simply reached out her hand to grab the back of Eric’s neck. In the heat of the moment, she pulled him closer and lay a k**s upon his l*ps. This move always worked well on a man.

Moscow’s night was silent and still. Emma lay in Eric’s embrace soaking up the warmth from his body. If Eric wasn’t here, how tough would it have been for her.

Meanwhile, opposite Dynasty hotel, Zephaniah was currently confirming the schedule for tomorrow’s shoot with Her Vision’s photography team. Since they had come all the way overseas, it wouldn’t make sense to shoot indoors, but because Moscow was so cold, Zephaniah wanted to protect Emma, so he decided to negotiate with the photographer. He requested they try their best not to take so many photos in the snow and instead use photography sets. However, the photographer simply responded with, “We know what we’re doing.”

The theme for this issue of Her Vision was ‘A Snow Wonderland’. Since snow was in the name of the theme, how could they not shoot in the snow?

“If you guys really know what you’re doing, then make sure you’ve made proper preparations for keeping warm.”

“Even top models don’t have as many requests as you,” the man complained as he hung up the phone.

Before they left for overseas they had already made negotiations and terms were set in the contract. Why was it, after they arrived overseas, they were complaining they had too many requests?

If it was another manager, they probably would have settled on a compromise. But to Zephaniah, there was no such thing as compromise. So, he gave Editor Benedict a phone call.

As soon as Editor Benedict heard how the photographer treated Emma, she broke out in a cold sweat. She immediately contacted the photography team. But, because of this, the photography team appeared polite to Zephaniah and Emma on the surface, while behind their backs, they weren’t actually willing to bow down.

What famous model hasn’t experienced extreme hot and cold before? Why must we satisfy all of Emma’s needs? In this weather, everyone is cold.

But, was Zephaniah’s request really too excessive? All he requested was for them to make preparations for keeping warm…was that too much to ask?

The publication only had to shoot for one issue at a time. After this shoot, the photography team’s job would be done. But, for Emma, if she was to get injured or sick from the cold, not only would it take some time to heal, her ongoing jobs would also be delayed. So, Zephaniah was determined to ensure Emma’s safety.

The next morning, Zephaniah woke up ahead of schedule to scope out the location with the photography team. After ensuring the conditions were bearable for Emma, he assuringly returned to the hotel.

9am. Zephaniah contacted Emma, telling her to prepare for a 10am shoot.

Eric looked out the window at the weather outside and patted Emma on the head gently as his heart broke.

“Don’t worry. I once spent an entire winter’s day soaking in a cold water pool. The conditions today are bearable for me.”

“I’ll drive you there.”

“I think it’s best if you stay here. If you see it, you’ll be upset,” Emma stopped Eric. “Trust me. I’m not as delicate as you think, OK? This is something I must do, this is my job.”

Eric did not say any more as he leaned against the desk in their room.

He wasn’t going to stand in Emma’s way, but he also wasn’t going to let her stop him. Even though he knew it would break his heart to watch, he still drove out and followed behind Emma’s company van…
