Xanthe looked at Emma with an extreme sense of ridicule as she crossed her legs to the other side casually. In the silence, she seemed to be hinting: Did you think a mere model like yourself could make me feel regret?
I really don’t know where your confidence comes from…
Danika had a similar look of mockery on her face while Yael gave Emma a slightly anxious look. Seeing Emma facing off with Xanthe, Yael felt herself sweating on behalf of her. It seemed she was worried that Emma wouldn’t be able to survive in H World, or worse, the entertainment industry.
“I guess I’ll have to wait and see how you will make me regret. Originally, I was planning to give a few of the jobs from Danika and Yael back to you, but it seems I don’t have to anymore.”
Emma smiled slightly; she didn’t seem to be affected the way Xanthe expected. In fact, she was exceptionally calm, “If there’s nothing else President Lopez, then I’ll be heading home.”
“If you want, you can stay and listen as I brief these girls on the jobs they will be taking from you. I don’t mind,” Xanthe looked away and spoke coldly.
Emma did not allow these harsh words to make her uncomfortable. She simply gave Xanthe a meaningful glance as she turned to leave.
At least when she first signed her contract, she had entered H World with high hopes.
At least…she once had faith in Xanthe.
Throughout this entire time, Zephaniah had been waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Emma, he immediately ran up and asked, “What did you guys talk about?”
“Haven’t you already inquired about this mess?” Emma questioned him back. She was sure he’d already asked the staff at H World.
“Did Xanthe really treat you in such an extreme way?”
“I’m afraid something even more extreme is on its way,” Emma replied. Her voice was calm, but it seemed to contain a sense of bitterness.
“All I want is what I deserve.”
“I don’t steal nor snatch.”
“I depend on my own abilities.”
“Yet, why must things be so hard?”
“I guess…if even my fiancee could become someone else’s, what’s so strange about a friend becoming an enemy?”
After hearing Emma’s words, Zephaniah didn’t know how to refute. After all, he was too familiar with the pain associated with a friend’s betrayal.
“Zephaniah, I think you might be out of luck, I’ve just threatened Xanthe.”
“What you’ve done is not a threat. You never say anything you aren’t sure of and never do anything you aren’t certain about,” Zephaniah looked at Emma calmly; he had faith in her.
Frozen by the agency?
Can’t she get herself out of it?
Zephaniah looked at Emma’s comfortable exp**ssion, he didn’t believe it would be a problem for her at all.
However, in order to improve Emma’s mood, he decided to contact Luke so he could notify Eric of what had happened.
After finding out the whole story, Eric’s eyes were terrifyingly cold and piercing. Even Luke had never seen the president reveal such a frightening exp**ssion…
Before meeting Emma, H World meant nothing in Eric’s eyes and he especially didn’t care about provocation from others. However, Xanthe was currently picking on the person he loved the most…
She was stepping on his precious wife…
He started thinking about the reason he had originally sent Emma to H World; he wanted to help her find the perfect stairs to success. Who would have thought, he instead sent her into a living hell.
Xanthe…
However, according to Emma’s personality, until she got completely hurt, she would not give up on the slightest glimpse of hope. If Xanthe really managed to send Emma to his side – to Kaleidoscope – he…
…would tolerate her for a few more days.
…
7pm. Eric returned home on time to find Emma asleep on the living room sofa. He couldn’t help but remove his jacket and place it on her. Only at times like this did he get the chance to see the delicate side of Emma; the side that needed protecting.
Emma wasn’t being forceful towards herself; as a person, especially a woman, all she wanted was a satisfying job and a happy family. She didn’t want to reap without sowing, she just wanted to work diligently. But her experiences so far had been heavy like lead.
Eric’s heart ached…
Maybe because she could feel the burn from Eric’s fiery gaze, Emma slowly opened her eyes. As her eyes met with Eric’s, she smiled sweetly, “You’re back.”
“Someone’s almost blocked your modeling pathway, how could you still smile?”
“No, they haven’t,” Emma stood up and wr*pped one arm around Eric’s neck. With her other arm, she stuck out her fi**ger and pointed to herself, “Who knows, maybe tomorrow I will make a revival…Eric…you need to have faith in me.”
Eric pulled her into his embrace and placed his chin against her forehead, “But I am worried; I get more worried by the day. I can no longer watch you being bullied. With your permission, I can be your sword; your weapon.”
There are people in one’s life that want to use them even though they would never allow it.
Yet there are people that refuse to use one no matter how much they want them to.
“Did you think without you backing me I would be brave enough to put all my eggs in one basket?” Emma said in a serious manner. “No matter how independent I am…you are still my source of support; you determine my happiness.”
Eric’s pride was satisfied as he hugged Emma without a word; peacefully enjoying the silence.
Even if Xanthe still wanted to create problems for Emma behind her back.
So what?
How could someone with a strong willpower get frozen?
…
The next morning.
Ferdinand’s fans were in an uproar as LM was scheduled to release the highlights from their shoot. They wanted to know what type of man the director had found to replace Ferdinand. How dare they accept a job that was originally Ferdinand’s?
“Oh, the fans are really putting in a lot of effort,” Ferdinand’s manager said to Ferdinand as he sipped his coffee.
“They are all waiting to see what god-like person it is and are waiting to stick up for you.”
Ferdinand looked neat and tidy; he was about to go discuss his new movie with a film company. Just thinking about the highlights to be released by LM, Ferdinand’s face was full of disdain.
“How is this kind of matter worth paying attention to? Let them complain. I used to hate these brainless fans, but now I feel they’ve come in use.”
“Be careful what you say,” his manager warned.
“Have I said something wrong? Those idiots believe everything I say. They even went to look for Emma to tear her apart. Pfft…”
His manager couldn’t control his outspoken personality. But, it didn’t matter, because the climax they were waiting for was to see the man that filmed a commercial with Emma.
Let’s see you completely ridiculed…
At this time, Emma was sitting on the sofa in Eric’s office watching LM’s every move. In reality, she was quite nervous. Firstly, this was the first time her and Eric would appear together in front of the public and they would be broadcasted to the entire nation. Secondly, she wondered if anyone would recognize Eric.
A few meters away, Eric was sitting at his desk fl*pping through some documents; it didn’t seem to worry him at all…
10:30am. The scheduled time had arrived. As promised, LM released their highlights right on time…
