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

“President Roberts, did something happen?” Luke guessed after seeing the expression on Eric’s face.

“The people at Creative Century have taken Lisa and are forcing Emma to have dinner with them. It seems they are going to pressure her into signing a contract.”

“But, Creative Century has been operating legally in recent years, it doesn’t seem like they would result to such despicable methods,” Luke was worried as he thought about how Creative Century used to be: they had once force-fed drugs into the mouth of a female celebrity, causing her to commit suicide – the incident went viral back in the days. After the incident, the company swapped out their boss and turned over a new leaf, no longer partaking in illegal activities. Yet, how could they be so brave as to pressure Emma?

“The root of evil has already been planted deep within their bones!”

“Should I take some men with me to retrieve madam?” Luke suggested.

“You don’t need to go…I will go myself.” After speaking, Eric stood up from his office chair, picked up his car keys and left the building.

…

It’s not that Emma wasn’t aware of Creative Century’s past, but, so many years had already passed. Hadn’t they already turned over a new leaf and seen great success as a result? Why were they suddenly using such despicable methods against her?

Emma rushed to the restaurant with mixed feelings; preparing herself emotionally as she approached. Back when she was in France, she had once witnessed a fit model being force-fed drugs in a hotel until she died – all because she had gotten on the bad side of a big boss.

The industry had too many bitter stories; unlike the glamorous image that was portrayed to the public.

Emma collected her thoughts and reminded herself to remain calm; she wasn’t alone, she had Eric.

Half an hour later, Emma arrived at her destination, but she didn’t enter immediately. She instead waited quietly in her car. She had just sent Eric her address not too long ago, so she decided to wait for the bodyguards to arrive before she entered to look for Lisa.

10 minutes later, the bodyguards had not yet arrived, but the people at Creative Century had called to rush her. Emma put down her phone – ready to make a move – but amongst the darkness, a long arm stretched out to hold her back.

Emma turned around cautiously. Realizing it was Eric’s arm, she let out a sigh of relief, “Why are you here?”

“Let’s go in first,” Eric placed his arm over her shoulder and hurried her into the restaurant. He bypassed all the staff and headed straight for the VIP room.

The people at Creative Century would never imagine Eric would make an appearance with Emma.

The entire incident stemmed from the reporter, Xenophon; he was the godson of Creative Century’s CEO. After suffering a big loss today, he, of course, had to find a way to fight back. As for Creative Century, after being rejected by Emma so many times, they had long held a grudge against her. After finding out his godson had suffered a loss because of Emma, the president swiftly put together today’s scene to scare this measly model. However, he never expected, Kaleidoscope’s CEO, Eric, would be accompanying her.

Sitting at the luxurious crystal table was Xenophon and the CEO of Creative Century; a man known as Father Five. Eric arrived with Emma and sat opposite the two men as he glared at them.

Regardless of whether Father Five had been frightened by this sight, Xenophon…

…was trembling…

He thought he was seeing things. How was it possible that Eric was helping Emma solve this problem? Who was she? How did she manage to do this?

“I didn’t expect that by inviting Miss Miller I would be able to meet with President Roberts from Kaleidoscope, please excuse me for not coming out to greet you.” Father Five was a 40-something-year-old man; he was lean and full of energy. His piercing eyes swept across Eric and Emma, “I think there must have been a misunderstanding here. If I had known Miss Miller was somehow connected to President Roberts, I would not have done something so reckless no matter how brave I was. Please excuse me President Roberts.”

“No wonder Miss Miller has managed to get out of so many sticky situations, it’s because she has President Roberts supporting her…”

Eric looked at the man; this man was well known for being a veteran in the industry and extremely two-faced. Even so, he knew to show respect in front of Eric.

Emma, who had remained quiet the entire time, glanced at Xenophon and realized, she had not been careful enough; all this was because of this man that she had offended.

Eric did not speak. He simply lifted his chin and brushed his hand through Emma’s hair. After a little while, he finally spoke, “I’ve only known Emma for 2 months. In private, our relationship has been very good, but we have never crossed paths professionally. She does not need my support, so I have not felt the need to say anything in public.”

“This little model is quite interesting; she doesn’t want to depend on anyone to help her advance, so I have not helped her in any way. But, that doesn’t mean, I will allow anyone to step all over her,” while speaking, an icy cold aura swept across Eric’s eyes. It wasn’t just a simple warning.

“So, I hope this will be the last time. What do you say, Father Five?” Eric glared at the two; the powerful aura in his eyes forced them to retreat. “I have no control over how you treat other people, but…I won’t allow you to treat her like this.”

Father Five’s heart skipped a beat as he quickly revealed a defeated smile, “Of course, it’s my fault for not realizing Emma’s importance. If I had known Emma was President Roberts’s friend, I definitely would not have done something so silly.”

“I hope you remember what you have said today.”

“Xiaoqian, hurry and bring Miss Long out.”

Xenophon was terrified, he was worried Emma and Eric would mention how he had tried to blackmail Emma. If he thought about it carefully, it was possible…

…the person helping Emma to make decisions behind the scenes, was Eric.

Xenophon’s back was suddenly covered in a cold sweat. If he had known earlier that Emma and Eric were so well acquainted with each other, even in a million lifetimes, he wouldn’t dare defame Emma.

Afterwards, Lisa was escorted out of the waiting room. In reality, she wasn’t hurt at all, because no matter how crazy Creative Century were, they would never go back to how they used to be.

“Also, Emma and I are well acquainted, but I don’t want anyone finding out. If…”

“Don’t worry President Roberts, no one will find out about this,” Father Five had a smile on his face the entire time. He knew Eric was more ruthless than he appeared right now, especially when he was working; he didn’t want to risk losing Creative Century.

“Regarding Emma’s management contract, she won’t be signing on with Creative Century, so don’t waste your time.”

“Of course,” Father Five’s expression was one of flattery. He smiled at Emma, “Miss Miller, I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble.”

Emma looked at Lisa without responding to Father Five.

Seeing Emma had no response, Eric didn’t want to waste any more time. So he stood up and led the two out of the restaurant.

Father Five watched as the trio left, “These two have an unusual connection. If they are close, why hasn’t Eric signed her on with Kaleidoscope? But if they aren’t, how did she manage to get him to make an appearance?”

“Apart from this time, be careful from now on. Compensate Ariadne a little and try to stay out of defaming Emma…”

“Could it be, Eric is actually Emma’s advisor?”
