Eric gently stroked Emma’s hair and drew her into his embrace affectionately. After hearing her words, he was tempted to retrieve all the best things in the world – even his heart – and place it into the palm of her hands.
“Although we are going to the US, the Oriental Trend is still extremely popular. If you stay by my side like this, you will attract a lot of attention.”
“So, what do you suggest?” a disappointed look crossed Emma’s face.
“I don’t mind having a female interpreter by my side…” Eric chuckled. His voice was deep and sexy, “I guess allowing you to experience Hollywood in advance isn’t a bad thing. Negotiating on the foreign stage isn’t easy.”
“Aren’t you afraid I will come in contact with issues that are confidential to Kaleidoscope?” Emma asked after relaxing a little.
“I already belong to you, so Kaleidoscope is no different,” Eric replied. “If you want to be the breadwinner, I am happy to retreat to behind the scenes, hand everything over to you and stay at home to prepare soup.”
“You are dreaming President Roberts…work hard to make money! Don’t even think about slacking off.”
Eric laughed. He suddenly felt, the boring trip he was supposed to take, had suddenly become so much more exciting with Emma around.
Emma was an ambitious person, but it never affected her life at home; she was clear about her identity.
…
New York’s entertainment gossip was still centered around Ariel’s incident. With EH’s slap to the face and her assistant’s revelation, Ariel could no longer withstand all the public scolding. So, she filmed an apology.
A 16-year-old child appeared in front of the camera in a mess. She bawled her eyes out begging the public for forgiveness. She even paid online commenters to help her wipe her slate clean; it appeared, she really wanted to redeem herself.
Xanthe spoke to Zephaniah in private. She wanted to know his plans for the aftermath and his thoughts on Emma.
Zephaniah had his laptop in his lap; he looked much tidier than when he first returned to the country. He finally looked like a top manager again.
“I can’t let Ariel off so easily…” – Zephaniah looked down at his laptop as he spoke – “…or else in the future, we might come across ‘Big-Emma’, ‘Mid-Emma’, ‘Emmaning’, ‘Little Emma’…it will be neverending.”
“So what you’re saying is, you’re planning to be Emma’s manager?” Xanthe exclaimed excitedly.
Zephaniah lifted his head as he twirled the pen his hand, “As long as she’s willing.”
“I admit, at the beginning, I did look at her arrogantly. But, I can’t deny, she is indeed interesting.”
“I trust in your abilities,” Xanthe nodded. “However, Emma is like a wild horse, she isn’t easy to tame. In a way, she is similar to you. That’s why I feel you guys match each other well.”
“I will speak to her.”
“Oh yeah. The position of Artists Director, when will you take it back?” Xanthe asked as she raised an eyebrow. Out of Ariadne, Holden and Zephaniah, she felt in the end, she still trusted Zephaniah the most. Especially since both Holden and Ariadne had disregarded her to some degree. She was hopeful Zephaniah would take back his role.
“I have no interest in that. I just want to focus on being Emma’s manager. Of course, if someone goes against me, I won’t go easy on them,” Zephaniah turned off his laptop with a cold look in his eyes.
“Did you know, today at the weekly meeting, Ariadne suggested I sign Ariel with us?” Xanthe laughed as she shook her head.
“President Lopez, it’s time to draw your sword.”
“The Official Contract Signing Ceremony will take place in 3 days. Quickly resolve the Ariel incident and confirm a time with Emma. Of course, if you can’t convince Emma to come back in time, I will use the ceremony to announce your return instead and delay Emma’s ceremony until later.”
Zephaniah nodded; Xanthe had always done things with careful consideration.
Afterwards, Zephaniah left Xanthe’s office. On his way out, he ran into Ariadne; their eyes met as Ariadne spoke, “Back then, I didn’t mean to expose your secret to the media.”
Zephaniah lifted his head with a cold expression, “Ariadne…I am back and I will not allow anyone to hurt me again. Nor will I let them hurt my artists.”
Ariadne’s expression changed as she tightened her grip on the artist’s information in her hands, “We were once really good friends.”
“Shhh…I don’t want to hear it, you disgusting person.”
After speaking, Zephaniah left the building. Ariadne was left standing on her own as she clenched her fist; you just wait and see.
Artist?
Zephaniah, with your current resources, how long do you think it would take you to train a newcomer into someone famous? Ariadne sneered inside.
But, she had no idea, her arrogant mask was about to be torn to shreds.
…
Meanwhile, Emma had just arrived in the US. Not long after arriving at the hotel, Eric delivered a disguise to her. She immediately put on the wig and glasses; looking proper and professional. At a glance, her model aura had completely disappeared and in her place stood a female interpreter.
The couple had no time to rest as they rushed to the hospital where Kaleidoscope’s actors were staying. With Eric and Luke’s cover, Emma’s identity was not revealed.
The actors consisted of one male and one female; the female was a top-class actress. Because of the explosion, both of them had different degrees of injury all over their body and required a long time to recover. However, the production team did not admit it was their fault, instead, they threw the blame onto the actors and demanded for compensation.
The only reason Eric had to make an appearance was because of a friend that was stuck in the middle of the incident. Otherwise, as usual, Eric would have directly sued them. Kaleidoscope’s legal team had never lost a legal battle.
“President, I’ve already gotten in contact with the film studio. They have agreed to meet tomorrow morning,” Luke said as they walked.
“Then let’s play along with them,” Eric replied calmly.
“Apart from that, Mr. Asa has already booked a table at the restaurant and is waiting for us.”
“Then, let’s get going,” Eric responded as he secretly held onto Emma’s right hand.
Emma was surprised. She thought this man was so busy that he had forgotten her presence. But, it turned out, not even for a moment did he take his eyes off her.
The couple were about to go meet Eric’s American friend. He was a man of mixed descent and was the same age as Eric. His attitude was carefree and treated life like a game. Of course, he was quite successful, hence his production company was quite famous.
However, he was easily tempted by beautiful girls, especially someone with long slender legs like Emma…
As soon as he saw Emma enter, he was immediately filled with excitement. Disregarding business, he directly asked Eric, “Is this your secretary?”
Seeing the look in his eyes, Eric’s expression turned dark, “You better place your eyes elsewhere.”
“What? Is she your bed buddy?”
Eric did not get a chance to reply before Emma butted in, “Yes, I’m his bed buddy and I will be for a lifetime.”
“Mistress?”
Eric stopped him from guessing any further as he declared his ownership, “Wife!”
“So, turn your sleazy gaze away from her.”
“What type of wife? Did you get married for the sake of connections? Don’t tell me you want to argue with me over her?”
Eric was stunned for a moment before shaking his head, “No need for that. However, I am willing to put my life on the line.”
