“Don’t worry President, Lafayette has already refuted against them and got his fans to destroy them,” Luke laughed.
Who would have thought, there would actually be a day when Herman could protect Emma.
“I guess Emma didn’t dote on him for nothing,” Eric replied calmly.
“But President, we need to be cautious of the real estate tycoon. He’s a sneaky character; I’m sure he has other tricks up his sleeves.”
“I have it all under control. Tell Fletcher to keep an eye on his artists,” Eric instructed as he held onto the thick script in his hands. He had selected a script that he thought was best for Emma, but…he was worried Emma might get injured.
Emma entered the study room with a glass of milk. Seeing the hesitant look on Eric’s face, she raised an eyebrow and sat down beside him, “What’s the matter?”
Eric was still focused on the script in his hands.
Emma followed his gaze and saw that the script was titled, ‘The Lost Relative’.
Genre: crime/action.
This meant the film would involve a large amount of fight scenes, chase scenes and shooting scenes. When filming films like this, it was often for the actors to suffer injuries, big and small.
“You want me to act in this film?”
Emma fl*pped through the script and saw the general synopsis. It was about a police wife who’s husband went missing for many years. While working on her daily cases, she continued to search for her husband on the side. In the end, she stumbled across a huge crime committed by her husband. It turned out her husband was a wanted criminal before they got married.
Emma’s character this time liked to fight.
She didn’t like solving matters verbally and always resorted to violence.
“This…is quite a challenge,” Emma suddenly laughed, “But it should be quite thrilling and exciting. I like it.”
When assessing a script, the first thing Eric looked at was a strong storyline. Apart from that, he accepted all kinds of genres for Emma. This was because he knew Emma would be able to handle it. She wasn’t like other actors, she did not need to repeat the same genres over and over again. As for the reason why he did not accept any television series roles, it was because films did not take as long to complete in comparison. Films were a quicker way for Emma to gain experience.
“But, you will most likely get hurt…” Eric said as he closed up the script, “Let me look at the others first…”
“What else are you looking for? Since you’ve chosen it, it must be the best. There’s nothing else to consider, I’ll do it!” Emma exclaimed. “I know it’s difficult, but I like it. This will be my last project before I prepare for a child, I want to give my fans a surprise.”
Eric wr*pped his arms around Emma. From his body language, it was clear to see that he couldn’t bear to let her do it.
Car racing, guns, fighting and escape scenes; all of them made him anxious.
“I’m your manager, I’ll decide. Plus, ‘Stupid’ hasn’t been officially released yet, once it’s officially released, you will receive even more offers.”
Emma understood that Eric was worried, so she did not insist. She simply smiled and handed him his glass of milk, “Drink this first. You’re almost 33, you need to take note of your calcium levels.”
Eric turned his head and saw Emma’s smile. He suddenly closed up his laptop and carried her in his arms, “Let me show you my hip strength!”
…
Late at night, inside a quiet manor, a 40-something-year-old man was playing a game of chess with his friend when his assistant suddenly appeared in front of him and said, “Chairman Chetwynd, she’s arrived…”
A girl in her early 20’s followed closely behind the assistant. She looked in a panic and was slightly trembling.
“Miss Jemma, please have a seat,” Chairman Chetwynd said as he remained focused on his game of chess.
“I…I came out without my manager knowing. I…I don’t have much time,” the young girl explained.
“So hasty?” Chairman Chetwynd lifted his head and adjusted his glasses, “But you are currently the most promising new female singer at Kaleidoscope and I am quite interested in you…”
“We have no grudges against each other. Why did you touch my brother?” Jemma asked.
“Yes, we indeed have no grudges against you, but…we have a grudge against your President. It wasn’t easy for me to invest in a film. But, not only did he compete against us, he even supp**ssed us by controlling the minds of the public and the industry. So, don’t you think we should hold a grudge against him?” After speaking, he placed down a chess piece. “I actually don’t need you to do much. It’s quite simple. Everyone knows how much Eric cares about Emma. I simply want to know the latest news about Emma.”
“I…I don’t have the ability to get close to people of that caliber,” Jemma waved her hands.
“Yes you do!” Chairman Chetwynd laughed. “None of you know this, but Kaleidoscope’s Lafayette is actually called Herman, he is Emma’s brother. Since you co-operate with him often, don’t you think he would know everything about Emma?”
“How did you find out about this?” Jemma asked in shock.
“This is a business matter, you don’t need to question it. I want to know what Emma’s doing. If Eric dares to stand in my way again…I’ll make a move on his precious Emma. He better not think that I can’t see through his schemes…” Chairman Chetwynd scoffed. “Hadn’t he heard before? An old ginger is spicy.”
The competition bet**en ‘Stupid’ and ‘Devil Shooter’ was originally something unspoken…
Of course, it was still unpoken, but one couldn’t avoid another person’s underhanded schemes.
Jemma came from a scholarly family. For her, singing was just a hobby because she enjoyed pop music. The reason she entered Kaleidoscope was not because of her voice, but because she could write her own songs.
She had indeed cooperated with Herman in the past and they were quite familiar with each other. But because of this, she became an easy target for Chairman Chetwynd.
The entertainment industry had always been a pool of deep water which she had long been prepared for. She knew, behind the glitz and glamor was plenty of darkness.
But…
…did that mean she should stoop so low as to help a villain?
She couldn’t change what was happening around her, but she could make her own choices!
After returning to Kaleidoscope, she spotted Herman practicing his new song in one of the practice rooms. As she listened to his crisp voice, she hesitated for a minute before pushing open the door and walking in.
“Lafayette, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”
Herman stopped strumming the guitar in his hands and glanced up at Jemma, “Let’s find a place to talk.”
“The roof.”
After arriving on the roof together, Herman looked at Jemma and asked, “What did you want to talk about?”
“Your real name is Herman and you are Emma’s brother, is that true?” Jemma clenched her fists nervously; she didn’t know if she had made the right decision.
Herman was a little surprised. As he stared at Jemma’s delicate face, he nodded his head, “How did you find out?”
“The producer of ‘Devil Shooter’ found out that I had previously cooperated with you, so he captured my brother and is trying to threaten me into getting information about Emma through you,” Jemma explained anxiously.
