Eric stretched out his hand and stroked Emma’s ink black hair, “This is a given.”
Actually, the thing that Emma admired the most about Eric was his ability to draw a fine line bet**en love and hate. When someone was right, they were right; when someone was wrong, they were wrong. He was firm on his decisions and never beat around the bush; he was always clear-cut.
That’s why she was suited to the entertainment industry.
She was suited to the life of accompanying Eric in this unstable industry. And all he wanted to do was to present her with glory.
After returning to the hotel, Emma sat by Eric’s side as she kept him company while he read through his documents. Eric turned his head to look at Emma’s semi-closed eyes and laughed, “You have an interview with Claude.N tomorrow. Hurry and get some rest…”
“I want to hug you to sleep,” Emma replied with a raspy voice.
Eric glanced at the documents in front of him before helping Emma up and leading her to the bed. After sitting down on the bed, he patted his ch*st, “Come here…”
Emma fl*pped aside the blankets and lay beside Eric as she wr*pped her arms around his waist.
Eric embraced her with one arm and read through his documents with the other. However, after reading one page, he realized he had no way of fl*pping to the next…
Emma held his arm tightly in place; it seemed she was doing it on purpose…
Eric understood her intention and put down his documents before giving Luke a phone call.
“President, Director Ceng has come looking for me quite a few times. He wants to invest in ‘Stupid’ on behalf of Baiyou Film and Television. But, from what I see, this is his son, J-King’s idea.”
“We already have sufficient funds for ‘Stupid’. If he comes looking for you again, you can directly turn him away…” Eric replied in a deepened voice.
“But, he is a shareholder of Kaleidoscope. Plus, he has already given 3.2% of the shares to his son, J-King. It appears J-King wants to get involved in Kaleidoscope’s operations. I can’t guarantee that he won’t make a move again in future.”
“Perhaps my recent actions have made them think I’ve been blinded by love and that their opportunity has come.”
“President, I am merely reporting this incident to you. It is not enough to make you worry,” Luke immediately explained.
“Keep an eye on their every move…”
After speaking, Eric hung up his phone and placed it gently on top of the bedside table.
Hugging Emma, he lay back down. In the darkness, his eyes fired up; there always had to be a few greedy people that wanted control over Kaleidoscope’s operations.
Did they think just because he was Emma’s manager, he wouldn’t be able to manage Kaleidoscope?
Were they questioning his capability?
…
7pm in France; 8am in New York.
This was the first night Jordyn officially moved into Fletcher’s home. Of course, nothing happened; she slept in the guest room.
Jordyn woke up early in the morning before she heard Fletcher’s bedroom door open not long after. She spotted Fletcher wearing a pair of boxers as he entered the kitchen.
Fletcher was a little surprised; he never expected Jordyn to wake up so early. He immediately ran back into his room and put on a robe before reappearing in front of her.
“Why did you wake up so early?”
“I have an interview today and may need to go overseas in a couple days,” Jordyn explained, “Plus, it is almost January. So, for the sake of Fashion Week in March, I may need to remain overseas for quite some time.”
Fletcher nodded his head, but his face did not show much emotion, “I won’t be able to go overseas. There are quite a few matters to deal with at Kaleidoscope.”
“I don’t need you to accompany me the way that Mr. Roberts accompanies Emma. I just…” after a short pause, Jordyn continued, “If I am to be gone for 3 months, will I return to find that you have become someone else’s boyfriend? Or perhaps, will another female artist like Manni appear, requiring your protection?”
So, it was a woman’s paranoia that was at work.
Fletcher retrieved some milk and other breakfast ingredients from the fridge. As he closed the fridge door, he replied, “I only have two girlfriends: the big one is currently standing in my kitchen doorway, whilst the little one is sleeping away in my child’s bedroom.”
Jordyn felt a little silly. So she scurried behind Fletcher and wr*pped her arms around him, “You don’t seem very passionate towards me.”
Fletcher did not say a word, he simply let out a laugh before freeing himself from Jordyn’s embrace and returning to his bedroom. He then came back out holding his household register and handed it to Jordyn, “After she passed away, the incident with Liliosa happened. All up, it has been 7 years. As my life revolves around the industry, apart from the nanny, you are the only woman that has entered this house.”
“Then what is the meaning of this?”
“If you want to get married…let me know. You are the only woman that makes me feel impulsive to do something like that.”
Jordyn froze in surprise. They had just become official yesterday…Was he proposing?
“I don’t need you to tell me right now. I just want you to know how I feel.”
The two people had both experienced so much and had so much on their shoulders. Being given the opportunity to continue living was already a huge gift from God.
Jordyn held onto the household register as her eyes turned red, “Emma was right, God always leaves the best for last. I finally feel that all my previous suffering was worth it.”
Fletcher leaned over and k**sed Jordyn on the forehead, “Go get changed and give Liliosa a bath while you’re at it.”
On the surface, Fletcher appeared quite relaxed and often seemed like he was mucking around. But, Jordyn knew, deep inside, he suffered more than many people.
It didn’t matter though because she was going to help him have a new lease on life!
…
9am, France.
Inside an exceptionally decorated studio, Emma and Eric met with the world-class designer, Claude.N. He was an old French man with a long beard. As soon as he spotted Emma’s legs, he couldn’t take his eyes off them.
“These legs are truly the most beautiful I have ever seen…”
“Claude.N, we welcome your collaboration.”
It was sometimes hard to understand the workings of a designer’s mind. Of course, for Emma, being picked for her legs was quite normal; there were cases of models being picked for their bottoms, fi**gers, feet and even moles.
“I am very pleased. Let’s talk about the contract,” the designer was set on Emma. “However, I have one condition. You will need to stay in France and sign on as a model at our subsidiary agency. I need a pair of legs like this; I love legs like this…”
After hearing the man’s request, Emma furrowed her brows.
“Of course, your manager can also join us…”
Emma analyzed Claude.N’s studio and noticed that his table was covered in photos of model’s legs. It seemed his main concept was legs.
“Claude.N, I’m sure I explained things clearly over the phone. She will only partake in this one shoot.”
Eric emphasized his standpoint in a calm tone. In reality, he had not told this man of his real identity.
Claude.N turned around and looked at the couple with an obviously unhappy exp**ssion, “Emma is a distinguished model I have ever invited. Don’t tell me you don’t want an opportunity as great as this?”
“I’m sure you both know that every model I have ever invited has ended up gaining a lot of attention and hype.”
“Doesn’t Emma need this?”
“She is not selling herself. Even if she is to sell, she would only sell herself to me,” Eric replied directly.
