“Emma, although I can no longer be your manager…I will forever remember the time that I spent with you. I feel very happy and lucky to have met you.” When the time finally came for Zephaniah to leave, he stuck out his hand and gestured for Emma to shake it.
Emma gave a gentle laugh as she grabbed his hand and tilted her head, “To be honest, you are truly an amazing manager. If not for Xanthe’s scheming, I had no intention of letting you go.”
Zephaniah let go of Emma’s hand. For a slight moment, he refused to believe what had happened, “I also thought at one time, I’d be able to accompany you to the end. Even if not, I at least hoped to help you become a supermodel. However, it doesn’t matter, even if I’m no longer in this position, there is someone else that is willing. I’m sure you are well aware that you have a wife slave at home…”
“I am also a husband slave, OK?” Emma refuted.
“I will continue to pay attention to you. If you have any difficulties, don’t hesitate to give me a call. If one day you decide not to be a model anymore and want to become an actress, you can come look for me.”
“Perhaps, there really will be a day like that,” Emma felt nothing was impossible.
“Well, I have to go now. Emma, I know you didn’t exp**ss your thoughts today because you are waiting for Xanthe to turn around and beg you; you’ve said before, you are going to make her kneel before you. However, take note of Holden. Compared to Ariadne and Xanthe, he is better at hiding his true intentions.”
Emma gave a mysterious smile. She wasn’t Xanthe, so she was well prepared for all possibilities and knew how to be cautious; Zephaniah had nothing to worry about. Above all, Emma still had Eric backing her up.
“Hurry and leave. I still need to go home and keep my ‘wife slave’ company.”
Zephaniah’s l*ps curved upwards as he reached out his arms to wr*p Emma in an embrace. Finally, Emma and Lisa watched as Zephaniah set off for a fresh start.
In actual fact, Zephaniah knew, even if Xanthe hadn’t ruined things, he still would not have had the chance to accompany Emma on her path to becoming a supermodel – there was already someone that was much more willing to do that.
And someone as great as Emma, deserved all the best.
…
“Let’s go Emma, we should head back to the airport,” Lisa reminded. Her work in London was not complete and she only had a couple days of leave; she couldn’t let the photographers and other models continue to wait for her.
“I want to go see Eric.”
“Do you miss him?” Lisa winked.
Emma didn’t deny it at all as she nodded her head, “Let’s go.”
Lisa cheerily agreed as she started the car towards Kaleidoscope Entertainment. Along the way, every story that came up on the radio was regarding H World’s p**ss conference that day. The discussions endlessly circled around Emma, Xanthe and Zephaniah with opinions all leaning towards one side. Xanthe, was in deep trouble this time.
“The p**ss conference today helped us get some justice. If not for today, I wonder how many more insults Xanthe had coming our way.”
Emma thought about Xanthe’s crumbling image as they left H World today and couldn’t help but reveal a cold exp**ssion.
A person like Xanthe would never admit to being wrong; she would simply think she lost to timing and luck.
“Where is Xanthe right now?”
“Haha, you mustn’t have heard. After we left, the reporters completely surrounded her. In the end, a small accident happened: she was hit by one of the cameras and was sent to hospital,” Lisa laughed.
“In that case, are you still upset?” Emma suddenly asked Lisa. At first, this question seemed like it came from nowhere, but…
…after a moment of silence, Lisa finally responded. She understood Emma was getting back at Xanthe for the humiliation she suffered at Hai Yi Center.
“I’ve long given up being upset. Who do you think I am? Did you think irrelevant people like that would be worth me getting upset over?”
Emma lifted her head to look at Lisa; she was aware that Lisa had always been optimistic, so she didn’t say anything else. As long as Lisa was able to move on, Emma felt relief.
At that moment, Luke’s injured knee came to Emma’s mind, as she suggested to Lisa, “In a moment, when we pass by the pharmacy, drop in and buy some medicine for Luke. For the sake of grabbing your passport, I think he may have broken his kneecap.”
“What?” Lisa was suddenly worried as she instinctively stepped on the brakes.
Emma glared at her before she quickly started driving again, “In that case, I’ll pop into some of the nearby pharmacies.”
Emma remained silent as she gave Lisa a look that said, I’ll leave it to you to handle. Lisa smiled awkwardly, realizing her reaction had been a little over-the-top.
The atmosphere in the car was originally relaxed and casual, but at that moment, a girl’s voice resounded over the radio, “Excuse me hosts, could you please help me contact Emma? I need to find her. I have something urgent.”
Not only Emma, but the hosts also thought, this girl must be a fan. So, they quickly comforted her, “Sorry Miss, our program has no way of contacting Emma.”
“But it is urgent! A life is on the line…she promised.”
The host was extremely confused and assumed it was a crazy fan. So, he cut the line and warmed the atmosphere back up, before taking on the next call.
Of course, Emma did not take this incident to heart. After all, she had plenty of fans with plenty of stories to tell; it wasn’t always easy to differentiate bet**en what was true and false.
After a 40-minute car ride, Emma arrived downstairs at Kaleidoscope. Lisa followed behind Emma as she clenched anxiously to the medicine in her hands.
Inside the lift, Luke looked questioningly at Emma as she appeared from the secret walkway, “Madam, why haven’t you left? Isn’t your flight at 4:30pm?”
“Where’s Eric?”
“In the resting lounge…” Luke realized he was holding medicine in his hands and quickly tried to hide it. But, Emma had seen it already.
“Is Eric unwell?” Emma’s eyebrows immediately scrunched up as an anxious exp**ssion appeared across her face.
“Actually, it’s nothing serious. He just has migraines sometimes.”
“How come he’s never mentioned it at home? And how come I’ve never seen him have migraines?”
“It must be because he didn’t want you to know. You know how he’s like, he couldn’t bear to let you know,” Luke smiled before handing the tray in his hands to Emma. “Here, I’ll leave this with you.”
At this moment, Emma disregarded everything and rushed over to the resting lounge.
As for Lisa and Luke who were left behind, they simply took one look at each other awkwardly before Lisa pretended to focus on a rainbow outside. She then shoved the medicine in her hands towards Luke.
Luke looked at the package questioningly, “This is?”
“Didn’t you hurt your knee?”
Luke opened the packaging confusedly and gazed at the medicine inside; not only was there medicine for his injury, but there was also medicine for the flu, fever, headache and even arthritis.
“I uh…accidentally bought a bit too much. Take it as a thank you for taking care of Emma.”
But, who the hell thanks someone with medicine?
Inside the resting lounge, atop the black bed, lay a peaceful figure. He no longer possessed his usual king-like presence, he was simply a man clutching his head in pain.
“Eric…” Emma ran over to his side.
