Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
After Her Vision’s shoot was over, Eric arranged for them to return in secret. Upon returning home, Emma and Zephaniah reported to H World while Eric went directly to Kaleidoscope Entertainment to handle all the work he had accumulated over the past few days. While sitting in the office, a look appeared in his eyes; a thought had come to his mind. He immediately called Luke into the room.
“Yes, President?”
“Help me get in contact with LM’s Executive CEO. I want to see him,” Eric instructed while signing some documents.
“Does the President want to order a wedding ring?” Luke guessed. LM stood for ‘Love More’; it was a classic jewelry brand originating from Italy. It had over 100 years of history and its designs had always been famous for being unique and precious.
“You could say that…” After saying these words, Eric lifted his head and warned Luke, “Watch what you say.”
Luke smiled as he nodded his head and gestured that he would keep his mouth shut.
“However, even if you order it, Madam won’t be able to wear it…”
“That’s not something for you to worry about.”
Since he intended on ordering it, he definitely had a way to let Emma wear it without worries.
Meanwhile, Zephaniah and Emma entered H World Entertainment. Seeing the two walk in, all the staff looked at them weirdly. Zephaniah and Emma looked at each other without a word until they entered Xanthe’s office.
“You’ve worked hard Emma,” Xanthe stood up out of her seat, walked over to Emma and patted her on the arm, “However, we can’t stop now. For the LM commercial that is scheduled in a couple days, LM has already sent over the details of the male celebrity you will be working with. It is the actor Ferdinand Lawson. Emma, he is currently one of the most popular actors, you need to take advantage of this opportunity to gain exposure.”
Emma grabbed the information from Xanthe’s hands and smiled slightly.
“I’m familiar with this actor. Even though he’s only in his early 20’s, he’s already had scandals with multiple women,” Zephaniah said as he took the information from Emma’s hands and furrowed his brows.
“Creating publicity for both of you, isn’t that a good thing?” Xanthe wasn’t against the idea.
“But, you obviously know Emma…”
Zephaniah did not finish his sentence, he knew Xanthe would be unhappy. She obviously knew Emma already had a lover, yet she still wanted Emma to create hype with this actor. Was this what Xanthe meant by giving Emma the best resources?
“Then it’s decided. I’ve organized for a dinner tonight with Ferdinand. You guys go home first and rest. After you’ve readjusted to the time difference, I’ll see you for dinner at 8pm.”
Emma turned around and took a glance at Zephaniah. She remained silent as usual. From an outsider’s point of view, she appeared to be the type to just accept things without retaliation. But, Zephaniah knew, she wasn’t going to create hype. If that’s what she wanted to do, then she wouldn’t merely be an A-Grade model right now.
“President Lopez…do you have no confidence in me?”
“Emma, you are already 26-years-old. If you don’t hurry up, when will you achieve anything?” Xanthe used her age as a point. “I’m doing this so things would be easier for you.”
Emma’s exp**ssion got colder, in fact, her gaze was piercing through Xanthe.
“President Lopez…”
“I know, Emma, you have your own plans. But, you need to trust me, this industry is dirtier than you think. No one would give up on such a great opportunity, including you,” Xanthe cut Emma off before she could say anything. She was using her identity as the CEO to p**ssure Emma.
Emma continued to stare at Xanthe without a word. Suddenly, Zephaniah b**ted in, “Xanthe, although you are the president, I am still Emma’s manager. If you carelessly make decisions for Emma, then what do you want me to do?”
Xanthe looked at Zephaniah with a complex look. When did the partner she had fought side-by-side with for so many years, turn his loyalty to someone else?
“Plus, Emma’s already suffered a lot in Moscow. Her body is not well, you should let her rest.”
“Fine,” Xanthe controlled her emotions as she said to Emma, “You may go home with your assistant first. I still have things to discuss with Zephaniah.”
Zephaniah looked at Emma, gesturing for her not to worry.
Emma nodded as she turned around and left Xanthe’s office without turning back. She had no intention of s**king up to anyone whatsoever.
The office was suddenly left with just Xanthe and Zephaniah; the atmosphere was slightly awkward. However, Xanthe couldn’t help but release her anger, “You’ve only just started in your role and you are already defying my orders?”
Zephaniah shook his head as he replied in a serious tone, “Xanthe, if Emma wanted to create hype she would not have joined H World. H World Entertainment has never done things like this, when did we start acting this way?”
Xanthe’s exp**ssion slowly changed.
“Plus, it clearly says in the contract that Emma has the right to reject any suggestions you give her. Have you forgotten?”
“Since Emma is so tolerant, why must you p**ssure her?”
Xanthe remained silent for a while. She eventually looked into Zephaniah’s eyes and said, “Zephaniah, have you been tamed by Emma already?”
“I have not been tamed by anyone. It’s just…you are no longer the same Xanthe,” Zephaniah replied without yielding.
“Then who will attend the dinner tonight?”
“I will find a way to explain to Ferdinand,” Zephaniah couldn’t possibly let Emma attend, otherwise, tomorrow, the news would be all over the place. At the same time, he also couldn’t let Xanthe lose her pride, after all, she was still the CEO.
Hearing this, Xanthe’s face warmed up a little. She eventually said a few words filled with meaning, “I’m suddenly regretting the decision to sign on Emma…”
“That’s because you’ve realized Emma doesn’t do everything as you say!” After speaking, Zephaniah stood up from the sofa. At this time, his heart was starting to feel a sense of disappointment.
He didn’t know when H World and Xanthe had turned out this way.
After leaving the building, Emma waited for Zephaniah at the entrance. The two understood each other just by looking into the other’s eyes.
“I’ve made things difficult for you.”
“You did nothing wrong. If you had compromised and attended the dinner tonight, then tomorrow, they would have pushed you to sell your body,” Zephaniah responded. “Emma, I know what you want. I will definitely do as you wish.”
Emma sighed as she scoffed, “I originally thought there was still a place in this industry that wasn’t dirty.”
“There is…your husband’s agency.”
Zephaniah winked at her.
Emma laughed gently, “With my current status, it’s still reasonable for me to fight against others on the same level. But, if I go against Xanthe like this, then from now on, I will only suffer.”
“Since I am your manager, then no matter what happens, I am here…” Zephaniah promised. “All you need to do is walk your shows and shoot your magazines.”
“Thank you.”
“Have a good look through LM’s information. You will need to do the commercial in 2 days time.” Zephaniah placed his right hand into his pocket and said, “Meanwhile, I need to go deal with the spoilt womanizer, Ferdinand.”
