“OK,” Emma nodded. With Eric around, there seemed to be a solution for everything.
“On another note, I heard that Harlow accepted the role of your older sister,” Eric put down the tube of ointment and sat down beside Emma. “You will have some scenes together and a few of them will be fight scenes. Give me a call when you are filming those scenes, I want to be present on set.”
“Are you afraid she’ll take the opportunity to seek revenge on me?” Emma guessed.
“She is one of the top three national women boxers. If she wants to hurt you during a fight, no one would know it’s deliberate.”
“OK, I’ll give you a call,” Emma reached out her arms and hooked them around Eric’s neck. This man had considered every possibility for her. What was there left for her to worry about?
However, there was indeed one thing for them to worry about: the secret relationship bet**en Harlow and her male lead boyfriend…
And of course, there was also the guest appearance of a weird old man!
To the public, regardless of who got the lead role, the result wouldn’t be much of a surprise. Whether it was Harlow or Emma, they were well aware that one had skills and the other had background. Of course, fans were bound to argue a little, but this wouldn’t affect the big picture. So, it didn’t take long before the production crew for ‘The Lost Relative’ officially announced that Emma was the female lead and Harlow was merely a supporting character.
“Emma’s acting is not bad, but when it comes to fight scenes, I am more convinced by Harlow.”
“The commenter above, don’t speak too soon. According to Emma’s history, she will definitely give you a huge faceslap. That’s why I’ve decided not to side with anybody and am just waiting patiently for the film instead.”
“Emma always exceeds expectations. So, I wasn’t surprised to find out that she got the role of female lead. After all, when she’s serious, I think she scares even herself.”
“Hmmph, our Harlow is an icon for this genre of film. Is the director crazy?”
“As a fan of Harlow’s, I just want to point out one thing: Who could possibly beat Emma’s background? Is there anything her husband can’t do?”
“To the commenter above, I’m sorry but our Emma got to where she is by taking one step at a time. She’s not much different to your Harlow, OK?”
All in all, netizens opinions towards the selection for female lead was quite varied. After all, Emma had given out so many faceslaps in the past that no one dared to casually come to a conclusion.
Whenever someone said she couldn’t do something, she would always prove them wrong.
There was nothing they could do about it.
Meanwhile, as soon as the male lead, Quenton, found out who had secured the female lead, he immediately gave Harlow a phone call, “What happened? How did you lose to Emma?”
“You shouldn’t be asking me, you should be asking Kaleidoscope,” Harlow whined, “Did you think I didn’t give the audition my all? You should know how important this film is to me. However, our background isn’t as strong as ‘somebody’s’. So, what can I do about it?”
The man on the other side of the phone remained silent for a while before he finally replied, “Let me think of something.”
“What can you possibly do?”
“There are plenty of fight scenes in this film. What do you think?” Quenton threw the question back at her. To Emma, this film was merely an opportunity. But, to him and Harlow this was an essential step towards winning a Sky Honor Award. The couple had hidden their relationship for many years and was hoping that if they stabilized their respective statuses with an award, if one day their relationship was to be revealed, the impact would be reduced to a minimum.
But, Emma had suddenly come out of nowhere…
“Quenton, are you planning to…”
“I want to force her to withdraw,” Quenton replied. “Stay out of this matter. You’re suspicion will be the highest because you are the benefactor.”
“But…if someone finds out…”
“No one will find out. A dangerous film like this is filled with danger around every corner,” Quenton replied in confidence. “Harlow, Kaleidoscope can’t blame us for doing this. Emma was the one that snatched your role to begin with.”
Harlow contemplated for quite some time. She was already 32 this year and her time was running out, so she definitely had to hold on to this opportunity.
The film was to start shooting in July and was due for release in December. As for the Sky Honor Awards, they would be held in February the next year.
So, ‘The Lost Relative’ was Harlow’s biggest hope. Especially since her agency had hinted that they’d try to bribe the judges this year. If she missed this chance, her agency may end up placing their focus on someone else.
Quenton was right…She couldn’t afford to wait any longer.
Within the industry, who didn’t strive for fame and fortune? Didn’t Eric also put a lot of ‘effort’ into helping Emma? When it came to stepping on others, Kaleidoscope never held back, right?
…
After becoming an actress, Emma’s appearance in front of the public reduced dramatically. Apart from attending events, she barely stepped foot out of her house because she wanted to spend all her time preparing for her new film. After all, the film this time posed quite a challenge for her.
In order to help Emma get into her police role, Eric hired an actual police officer to train Emma like a cadet in a police academy. Whether it was the way she walked, her fighting stance or even the way she held a gun, she tried her best to look exactly like the real thing. As a result, Emma began to appear more and more heroic. She was so imp**ssive that Lisa would raise her thumb everytime Emma grabbed her gun.
“If someone didn’t know, they might think you are an actual police officer.”
Inside the training grounds, Emma put down her fake gun and leaned against the wall, “Police are amazing. So, my mission is to show the audience how great they are.”
“Well, it’s time for a break. Your husband was worried that you’d be hungry, so he told Luke to tell me to deliver you a healthy lunch. Don’t just focus on training, you should come here and eat some food first.”
“OK,” Emma nodded.
Lisa opened the lunch boxes and sat in the training ground with Emma, ready to eat. But, just before they picked up their chopsticks, Lisa suddenly said, “Do you want me to do some investigations regarding the male lead? As for the defeated Harlow, she auditioned for female lead but had to settle for the supporting character, I’m afraid she won’t just accept the result so easily.”
“You finally know how to be cautious,” Emma smiled. “If you have some spare time, you could have a look into it for me.”
“OK, I’ll look into it after we’re done here.” After speaking, Lisa suddenly looked a little awkward.
“Is there something else you want to talk about?” Emma could sense her hesitation so she prompted her to talk.
“Do you think, as a woman gets older, it’s harder for her to get pregnant? I’ve been trying to get pregnant for a while now, but nothing seems to be happening. I’m a bit worried that there’s something wrong with me,” Lisa said worriedly as she put down her chopsticks. “Emma, I really want to give Luke a child as soon as possible.”
“Have you done a medical examination?” Emma asked.
“I’m too afraid to go…”
“It’s best you discuss it with Luke. This is a matter concerning the two of you. Stop bottling up your worries or something bad might happen. Haven’t you learned from your past?”
Emma was referring to the time that Lisa was forced to kneel.
