After the rumors got out, the entire production crew and cast looked at Emma differently. They also started discussing about her in private.
“Tell me, how do you think Emma can continue acting with all that’s going on?”
“The entertainment industry has always been this realistic. People break up quicker than lightning. Now that Mr. Roberts is marrying someone else, doesn’t that mean Emma will return to nothing?”
“Shhh…Not so loud.”
A few of the extras sat together and chatted, but they didn’t realize, their voices were already really loud. Even Laszlo, who wasn’t sitting too far away overheard them. So, he sat beside Emma and asked, “What’s going on?”
“What do you mean?” Emma asked back confusedly.
“The news about your breakup and Mr. Roberts marrying someone else,” Laszlo said straightforwardly. This was the first time, outside of acting, that he cared about someone else’s personal life.
“It’s just a rumor, we are fine,” Emma’s response to the hot rumor was simple.
“Since that’s the case, then don’t let the rumors affect you. Focus on acting.”
“Yes, Laszlo!” Emma replied in seriousness as she lifted her head. During this time, Laszlo had practically become her acting teacher; he had truly taught her a lot.
“I’m going to go film my part now.”
Emma nodded her head. Regarding the rumors that were going around, she completely ignored them.
Although Xiner, who was following Emma around, also felt angered by the rumors, she did not act impulsively like Lisa. Instead, she logically analyzed the situation, “I feel that the person that started this rumor is a little stupid. Regardless of the fact that you and Mr. Roberts are already married, even if you weren’t, according to how much Mr. Roberts cares about you, there’s no way he’d give up on you for a business transaction.”
“Mr. Roberts doesn’t need to do such a thing!”
Emma burst out laughing.
“What are you laughing about?”
“I’m laughing at the difference bet**en you and Lisa. If Lisa was around, she would definitely scold the culprit a million times before she’d settle.” Emma closed up the script of ‘Hidden Expert’ and stood up before saying to Xiner, “It seems, the only reason she likes to eat, is so that she has the energy to scold people.”
“Haha…”
In conclusion, Emma didn’t seem the slightest bit affected even though the people around her looked at her sympathetically. Emma simply couldn’t be bothered to explain herself. Since they were about to announce their marriage, the truth was merely just around the corner.
But, once the rumor started spreading, it couldn’t be stopped. In order to get first hand information, the reporters did all they could to force themselves onto the set of ‘Stupid’. This ended up slowing down the progress of their filming.
Regarding this, Coque directly said to Emma, “Since you’ve only got a few scenes to film, why don’t you go home and rest for a few days. Once the rumors have dampened, you can come back on set.”
Emma nodded her head. She was actually thinking the same thing.
“I just saw Emma leave. Doesn’t she have a scene to film tonight?”
“At a time like this, how could she film anything?”
“Poor thing. No wonder people in the ancient times used to say that ‘Accompanying a husband is like accompanying a tiger’. Accompanying the Big Boss of the Entertainment Industry is no different; yesterday you may have been his treasure, but today…you aren’t any better than a prostitute.”
Prostitute?
It was fine if they wanted to gossip. But to compare Emma to a prostitute? Xiner couldn’t contain her anger. So, she turned around and said intimidatingly, “What did you just say? I dare you to say it again.”
There was no way the gossiping extra was going to let a mere assistant question her. So, as she got fired up, her words became extra harsh, “I am merely speaking the truth. Right now, the rumors are circling like crazy. Everyone is saying that Emma’s been dumped by Mr. Roberts because he needs to marry an heiress.”
“You…”
“Xiner,” Emma held Xiner back before turning to face the woman and saying, “I am still on set. When you speak, you should hold back a little for the sake of others and yourself. Otherwise, for the rest of your life, you will only be an extra and won’t improve at all.”
After speaking, Emma turned around to leave.
Just as the woman was about to argue back, Eric’s car arrived and stopped right in front of Emma, like he had done it on purpose. After getting out of the car, he directly walked over to Emma and wr*pped his arm around her, personally escorting her to the car.
Everyone on set saw it. As for the woman that had been gossiping earlier, her face was now bright red.
“Didn’t they break up? Why did Mr. Roberts personally come to pick her up?”
“Must be a false rumor. Look at them, they are showing off their affection like they always do.”
Of course, getting on the Boss’ bad side couldn’t possibly end so easily. It’s just, they were to face their fate a little later. With problems like this, Eric simply had to make one phone call and they’d be guaranteed to never act again.
“Did everyone on set treat you like that?” Eric asked on the way home.
“No, just those two,” Emma replied.
“Good.”
As she turned her head, she noticed Eric’s darkened exp**ssion, so she immediately asked, “What exactly happened? This incident…”
“Can you not ask about it and simply leave it with me?” Eric asked back. He really didn’t want to tell Emma that the person who had stabbed her in the back was from the Miller Family; her own family.
Emma looked carefully into Eric’s eyes and somewhat understood what was going on, “Even if you don’t tell me, I would still have my assumptions and opinions. I know not many people know about this matter. Plus, with the timing, even if you weren’t to say it, I could roughly guess who’s behind it. After all, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.”
Eric did not forget how smart Emma was. His heart simply ached because she was too smart for her own good, “Why can’t you be a little more dopey. You would be happier that way.”
“If I had the choice, I would still choose to be smart. Because that way, you won’t be so tired. At least I could share your troubles with you,” Emma said firmly as she held tightly to his hand. “I’m 80-90% sure that this has something to do with my siblings.”
“In order to prevent me from returning to the Miller Family, they’ve sure exhausted their methods.”
“If that’s the case, then I’ve thought of a great way to get back at them for you,” Eric’s ink-black eyes suddenly glowed, “Of course, since this incident also involves Miss Cromwell, we will kill two birds with one stone.”
Xiner listened intently from the back seat and felt a sense of admiration; the couple seemed like they could read each other’s minds. With one simple glance, they were able to understand each other. Not everyone could be this in sync.
Most importantly, it didn’t seem like words were necessary bet**en them; trust was all that was needed.
…
After returning to Hyatt Regency, Eric helped Emma into bed and then gave Fletcher a phone call, “Try and get in contact with Elder Miller for me.”
“What do you plan to do?”
“You will soon find out.” After speaking, Eric hung up the phone.
Previously, Elodie had come looking for Emma simply because Elder Miller had mentioned her. It seemed, he had the intention of taking her back in. With this in mind, it seemed he had no idea of all the backstabbing she had received. So, perhaps, Eric could give him a little hint…
