Hearing this, the man finally understood Emma’s importance to Eric. So he stopped joking, “So, it is true love.” After speaking, Asa stood up and stretched out his hand in seriousness to shake Emma’s hand, “Sorry, I stepped over the line just then, I thought…Oh, forget it, no matter what, this was all a misunderstanding.”
With the entertainment industry being so big and Eric’s position at the top of an empire, it was normal for someone like him to be a player. Who would have thought, he’d skip all that and jump directly into marriage?
Emma leaned into Eric’s embrace as she shook the man’s hand. She did not speak, she just simply nodded her head.
“But, sister-in-law[1], how come you look so familiar?” Asa glanced over Emma quickly, he didn’t dare to linger for too long. He could clearly differentiate when it was time to play and when it was time to be serious. He also knew this was a woman Eric was willing to risk his life for, so she was definitely someone he needed to show respect to.
“Let’s talk business…” Eric pulled out a chair for Emma as he pushed Asa to get to the point.
Emma wanted to laugh at his childish behavior, but she also felt warm inside.
“The shoot this time took place halfway up a mountain and the incident happened so suddenly, it was hard to determine who was at fault. Eric…of course, I have faith in Kaleidoscope’s actors. Originally, there were no complications, but…the investor behind the production crew for ‘Deadly’ suddenly decided to pull out his investment, putting the production crew into a panic. That’s why they threw the focus onto Kaleidoscope. It was all my fault, I’ve caused you to lose two capable actors. This explosion will definitely have a huge impact on their careers.”
“Who cares about money? These two people are international actors that Kaleidoscope has invested 4 years of time on. It’s a shame…” Falling from such heights, was like a sunset that came too early; their careers would definitely suffer a loss.
“If it was another company, they would have left the two actors as is. But, things are different because you are the CEO,” Asa smiled meaningfully. “I invited you today, to express my standpoint. I will let you call the shots. I no longer have any connections with the film studio.”
Eric did not speak, his eyes looked deep in thought.
“I’ve finally figured out who sister-in-law is…isn’t she the model that went viral not too long ago?” Asa suddenly changed the topic as he teased her, “Sister-in-law, since you are a model, you should be pretty busy. Why are you here with Eric? Were you worried he would cheat on you?”
Emma smiled. She did not have the attitude of an untrusting woman. She simply turned her head to Eric and asked, “Would you dare to do something like that?”
Eric shook his head and replied swiftly, “No, I wouldn’t dare.”
After hearing their words, Asa was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, “So the Big Boss also has a time when he is controlled…”
The trio chatted for a little while longer before Asa left due to urgent matters. However, before he left, Eric gave him a word of warning, “My marriage to Emma, keep it a secret.”
“OK!” the man made a signal of agreement with his fingers before he rushed out of the hotel.
After hearing their entire conversation, Emma felt a little uneasy. Noticing her silence, Eric gripped onto her hand, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m used to seeing you sign multiple documents and attending multiple meeting, but only now do I realize, all I see is merely on the surface…Is there anything I can help you with?”
Eric stared into Emma’s eyes and realized she was seriously worried about him, so he explained, “I can’t remember how long it’s been, I’m already used to it…”
“This is how the entertainment industry is like: the more you possess, the more you have to lose. This is why you need to stay by my side forever.”
Emma did not say anything. She simply gripped onto Eric’s hand as she pulled him up, “Let’s go back to the hotel and have a nice, relaxing bath. Don’t you have a tough battle to fight tomorrow?”
After returning to the hotel and having a bath, the couple lay in bed. Emma originally wanted Eric to rest, but Eric pulled out his laptop to check her emails.
“Can’t you focus on just Kaleidoscope for these two days?”
“Zephaniah sent you an email,” Eric opened the email and showed it to Emma. “The revelation from Ariel’s assistant was his work; he is indeed capable. The things he has planned out for you are the same things I think of as priorities. Disregarding his personal matters and focusing entirely on his abilities, even if he was to work for Kaleidoscope, he would live up to expectations.”
“In that case, I’ll accept him,” Emma nodded.
“So easily?”
“Didn’t you say he has the same priorities as you? I trust you.” In reality, Emma just wanted Eric to have one less thing to worry about.
“But, Zephaniah wants you to return home tomorrow. Xanthe is already prepared to announce your contract to the public,” Eric closed his laptop. He wrapped his arm around Emma and lied down with her, “Go back…”
Hearing these words, Emma did not respond. She merely covered herself with the blanket.
“H World’s Contract Signing Ceremony is very important to you.”
“Of course, I would love for you to keep me company, but…I can’t let you sacrifice your career. Listen to me, it wasn’t easy for you to get to where you are today…”
Emma was speechless…her heart felt a little disappointed because she knew, with her current status, she did not have the right to stay by Eric’s side 24/7.
“Just two days…”
Emma remained silent. Underneath the blanket, she embraced Eric tightly in her arms. Then with an initiative which she had never shown before, she flipped over and pressed Eric under her body as she pressed her lips firmly against his.
Eric could not fight back as he allowed her to press down on his lips violently. Whenever two people were in love, being separated for even one minute, felt like forever.
This time, the couple’s workout was extremely intense. After they were done, Emma fell asleep. All she could feel was someone wiping down her body and helping her change into a fresh set of clothes.
The next morning, Eric drove Emma to the airport, “No matter what happens, call me immediately.”
Emma reached out her arms and hugged Eric before kissing him passionately. Afterwards, she put on her face mask and sunglasses, then opened the car door.
For a married couple…staying together was a lesson to be learned…and so was separation.
Emma resisted the urge to turn around and return to Eric’s side, she also endured the temptation to give him a phone call. She simply entered the airport lounge and flipped through New York’s news on her phone.
But, at that moment, she received a message from Eric, “Don’t stare at your phone like that, it will hurt your eyes.”
Emma lifted her head in surprise as she looked around for any trace of Eric. But, Eric had already left.
While waiting for her flight, Emma tried to maintain a low profile. However, in the end, someone still recognized her.
A tall and skinny man approached Emma after boarding the plane and handed her his business card, “Miss Emma, nice to meet you. I am a reporter from Hua Rong Studio.”
After looking at the man, Emma politely took the business card from his hands, “Nice to meet you.”
“Earlier on…I saw you step out of a black car. The man that drove you here must have been your boyfriend, right?”
Hearing this, Emma was a little surprised. Did he capture photos of them?
“No need to be nervous Miss Miller, I didn’t capture any photos…I just happened to see you, but I didn’t pull out my camera in time…”
