That evening. Rush hour. Her Vision’s staff gradually emptied out onto the streets. At this time, an unexpected figure appeared at the building. He was directly escorted into the editor’s office by her secretary; no appointment necessary.
“I didn’t expect the Assistant of President Roberts to make an appearance here, sorry for not coming down to greet you…” Editor Benedict stood up and smiled politely as she stuck out her hand. She was ecstatic to see Luke; could it be possible that Kaleidoscope wanted to collaborate?
Luke was used to being treated this way. He slightly squinted his charming eyes and got straight to the point, “President Roberts wants to know…who will appear on the front cover of your November issue?”
However, she had been friends with Ariadne for many years…
…and they had already signed a contract.
“Regarding this…”
“Is it H World entertainment’s model, Magnolia?” Luke asked directly.
The editor stared at Luke in shock. She didn’t understand how he found out about something that was meant to be confidential.
“I’m also aware that Emma, who’s been very popular recently, came for an audition as well. How come you didn’t consider her?”
After hearing Luke’s questions, Editor Benedict couldn’t figure out his intention. However…she assumed he was here on behalf of Kaleidoscope, so she answered honestly, “If we were to compare ability and popularity, Emma is definitely miles ahead of Magnolia. But, as you are aware, this industry is all about connections. Emma is popular, but she has no backing and no connections. On the other hand, Ariadne is different, she can bring a lot of benefits for Her Vision.”
“Who said Emma has no backing?” after hearing Editor Benedict mention connections, Luke responded with a heavy tone.
“What are you suggesting, Assistant Lu?”
“Use Emma as November’s front cover model,” Luke replied straightforwardly. “Don’t think that because Emma keeps a low profile that she has no backing. If you weren’t bullying Emma, President Roberts may have been in a good enough mood to help you pay your compensation for canceling your contract with Ariadne. But…since you want to act ignorant…”
“Our President Roberts will only give you two choices. Number one: Continue to use Ariadne’s model and wait for your company to close down; Number two: Switch to Emma. We will guarantee that your November issue will break all previous sales records. Your choice.”
And worst of all, she was left with no choice. As the king of the entertainment industry, for Eric, closing down a magazine could be done without lifting a finger…
However, what she didn’t understand was, why was Eric sticking up for Emma?
She never imagined, Emma…who appeared to be disconnected from the world, actually had…
…Kaleidoscope protecting her!
“I hope you can keep my visit a secret; don’t tell anyone about it, including Emma. Or else, I think you can imagine the consequences. As for everything I’ve said today, it is a direct representation of President Roberts. You don’t need to question it!”
After speaking, Luke stood up and prepared to leave. However, Editor Benedict couldn’t help but ask in a quivering voice, “Although it might be a bit rude, but may I ask…what the relationship between President Roberts and Emma is?”
Luke turned around. He was a bit hesitant at first, but he decided to answer truthfully, “Husband and wife.”
Husband and wife.
Husband and wife…?!
The first lady of the entertainment industry!
If it hadn’t come from Luke, there would have been no way she’d connect Emma with Eric. To the public, Emma, at most, would be considered as a talented and professional A-Grade model. Who would have thought, she actually had such a surprising background?
And here Ariadne was, trying to fight against Emma…
Dear god, she almost got Her Vision in trouble and almost offended Kaleidoscope Entertainment!
Seeing Editor Benedict’s face switch between white and red, Luke could tell that she had suffered quite a blow. So, before he left, he gave her one last warning, “If Ariadne hadn’t gone overboard, I don’t think President Roberts would have stepped in. After all…the madam has always insisted on keeping a low profile…”
“So, Editor Benedict, you better watch your mouth…President Roberts and Emma’s marriage is a secret!”
“Please let President Roberts know that I won’t speak recklessly,” Editor Benedict wasn’t stupid.
Luke smiled and neatened his hair before leaving Her Vision’s building. After stepping out the front door, he immediately gave Eric a phone call, “President, I’ve handled the matter!”
“From now on, if I order you to do something about Emma – even if it causes trouble for Kaleidoscope – I don’t want you to worry about it. Take care of her first, OK?”
“Understood!” Luke replied in a serious tone.
After giving his instructions, Eric put away his phone with a cold gaze.
Didn’t Ariadne like to fight for things? Then let’s let her fight as much as she wants!
…
After being taught such a serious lesson, Editor Benedict immediately responded. She promptly retrieved Emma’s portfolio and threw away Magnolia’s. Apart from this, she also made a phone call to Zephaniah, telling him that she’d agree to having Emma on the front cover of their November issue. She also suggested they make necessary preparations as the shoot would take place in Moscow.
Originally, Zephaniah wasn’t 100% confident that he’d secure the job; Ariadne had his work notes in her hands and her methods had always been quite sinister. After several years away from the industry, he almost underestimated her.
Most importantly, when leaving Her Vision in the afternoon, he definitely saw the look in Editor Benedict’s eyes. He was sure she favored Ariadne. But, why did she suddenly change her mind?
Zephaniah had no time to consider the possibilities; he had to focus on preparing a contract. However, just as he was about to leave the office, he found Ariadne leaning against his doorway. She looked at him mockingly, “Not done with work yet? I heard you also saw Editor Benedict today regarding Her Vision’s front cover.”
“You should have told me earlier, I wouldn’t have fought with you for it.”
Zephaniah lifted his head to look at Ariadne. Not only was she evil on the inside, on the outside she was beginning to look more and more ugly.
“Oh, I just remembered, President Lopez wants to hold a grand press conference for you to announce your return. However, even if you secure Her Vision’s front cover, you don’t have a good enough model to take on this magazine!”
“Ariadne, it’s not important who wins and who loses today. The most important thing is who advances further in the future,” Zephaniah responded after finding the information he was looking for.
“Do you still think you have a chance of winning? I’ve already signed the contract…”
“Really?” Zephaniah sneered as he brushed past Ariadne. “I bet you’ll receive a phone call today…to cancel your contract.”
