Kaleidoscope’s celebration dinner was extravagant and studded with stars.
Under the luxurious chandelier, artists were chatting and holding wine glasses as the hall resounded with elegant music. The waiters and waitresses weaved their way around the guests as they balanced their serving trays; every now and then, they would witness famous female and male celebrities exchange glances and gossip about different agencies.
This was because Kaleidoscope’s CEO, Eric, had not yet arrived.
Although Kaleidoscope was usually united, they couldn’t help discussing the incident concerning Manni. After all, their conversations wouldn’t be an issue as long as it never left the agency.
“Tonight, even the winners of the best actor and best actress can’t steal the limelight from Manni and Emma.”
“Hey, whose side are you on?”
“bet**en the two, I ‘d pick Emma,” – two female artists gossiped – “Because it’s obvious that Manni’s heart no longer belongs to Kaleidoscope. Since her heart isn’t with us, then we are no longer friends. No matter what happens, I am determined to be on Emma’s side.”
“On another note, have you noticed that Jordyn won’t be attending tonight?”
The woman that was being spoken to, looked around and nodded her head, “I just noticed. Why isn’t she here?”
“Manni ordered some people to beat her up. From what I’ve heard, her injuries are so bad that she can’t even get out of bed.”
“That’s awful.”
…
Meanwhile, some male artists were also deep in conversation, “I have a question I want to ask, would you guys choose the one with a curvy body or long legs? One of them is sexy, while the other is cool and quiet; they both seem pretty good.”
“Do you think long legs is still an option?”
“From a man’s point of view, I reckon Mr. Roberts will definitely stand on Manni’s side. After all, he needs to protect the internal stability of the agency.”
“I think otherwise. I don’t think Mr. Roberts is the type to be threatened by others.”
Everyone shared their opinions, it seemed they each had their own views regarding the matter. Of course, their conversations simply circled around who Eric would choose and didn’t include any form of judgment or insult. No one from Kaleidoscope ever went against someone else from the same agency; Manni was the only one to do such a thing.
“Quick look, I think Manni’s arrived.”
Someone warned of Manni’s arrival in a hushed whisper before she appeared in their line of sight. She was wearing a long black deep-v dress which wr*pped tightly around her gorgeous figure. She strutted into the hall like a model with her stiletto heels as the train of her dress dragged across the floor behind her.
At a glance, Manni’s figure was indeed superb. She was well aware of her standout features and knew how to use it to her advantage by wearing clothes that highlighted her curves.
On the scene, there were quite a few male celebrities that reacted to the sight of Manni. A few of them quickly drank the icy cold wine in their hands in an attempt to supp**ss the fire burning up inside them.
Manni was pleased with their reactions because, in her own eyes, she ruled the runway and everyone was expected to be captivated by her.
From the look in the men’s eyes, she could tell she had successfully achieved this; she felt confident and attractive.
However, as she scanned her eyes across the hall, she realized Emma was nowhere to be seen. Was she too afraid to appear in front of her and battle it out on the same stage?
Manni’s beauty was publicly known. With the strengths that she possessed and her slightly wild personality, many people found her beautiful but impossible to approach.
She had a strong presence like a queen and had enjoyed many years of attention on the runway. Even when she compared herself to the top entertainers, she did not think of herself as on a different level. As a result, she always looked dazzling and held her head high in confidence.
“Hey, Manni’s arrived. I’m so jealous of her br***ts and bottom. No wonder people say comparing oneself to another is unhealthy.”
“With the way Manni looks today, no matter what Emma dresses in, she won’t be able to compare.”
“We can’t be too certain. After all, the CEO is her manager…”
“You’re still questioning the outcome? If the President appears tonight as the CEO of Kaleidoscope, then Emma doesn’t stand a chance. It would be obvious that he is on Manni’s side!”
The artists present gathered into groups and discussed the heated topic. Especially with the appearance of Manni, they felt themselves sweating from anxiety as they couldn’t decide whether they wanted Emma to appear or not.
“Is she going to appear?”
“How would I know…”
The celebration dinner continued to proceed and guest performers appeared one after another; some sang hit songs and some performed popular street dances. There were even ‘fresh meat’ actors that simply stood on the stage; it seemed allowing their seniors to lay eyes on their attractive looks was a performance in itself.
“Emma must be so afraid that she decided not to appear,” Manni exclaimed amongst the crowd as she held onto her wine glass; she wasn’t afraid of people hearing her.
Everyone around her were stunned. No matter how beautiful Manni was, they didn’t want to take another glance at her.
A little while later…
…there was a commotion at the main entrance as Eric finally made his appearance.
From the outfit he was wearing, it was obvious he was appearing as the CEO of Kaleidoscope…
A few people were disappointed; they had anticipated something else.
At this time, Manni’s l*ps curved upwards into a smile. She knew at this point, there was no way she’d lose.
“Manni must be feeling quite arrogant. I mean, Emma didn’t even appear!” everyone once again started discussing.
“Look at Manni’s exp**ssion…”
“Wait, that’s not right. The president brought a woman with him…that…isn’t that Emma?”
“Where?”
“The one wearing business attire behind the President…”
Not only these two people, but everyone else also noticed. Emma wasn’t wearing anything glamorous and didn’t make a grand appearance, she simply followed behind Eric dressed in business attire.
So…who was considered the winner?
It was true that Eric had appeared as the CEO of Kaleidoscope, but…he brought Emma along with him.
As soon as Manni noticed Emma, her smile turned stale. She wasn’t happy with what she saw. Eric was hinting that Emma did not come to Kaleidoscope because of Manni and just because Manni wanted to compete with Emma, it didn’t mean Emma was willing to play along.
A moment later, the winner of the best actor award approached Eric holding a wine glass as he exp**ssed his gratitude. Just as he was about to cheers with Eric, Eric glanced at the little woman behind him questioningly, like he was asking her for permission to drink.
Emma was surprised, but she quickly understood. So she nodded her head.
As soon as the actor saw this, he couldn’t hold back his laughter, “Mr. Roberts, are you asking our junior sister for permission? Does she even have control over your drinking habits?”
“Before, when I was her manager, she complained that I was being too strict on her. So, today I suggested that we reverse our roles so she can be my manager instead…” Eric explained as he clinked glasses with the actor.
“I never imagined our junior sister had the potential to be a manager!” the actor couldn’t help but t**se. “I’ve never seen our Mr. Roberts being controlled by someone else, this is quite a refreshing scene to witness.”
After speaking, the actor looked at Emma, “Thank you junior sister, for giving me the opportunity to witness such a scene.”
