10pm. Kaleidoscope’s CEO’s office was still lit up.
Although Fletcher was overseas for his wedding, as soon as he heard that Kaleidoscope was in trouble, he immediately returned to New York after it was finished. As expected, Eric was still in the office and had not gone home.
As Eric lifted his head to look at Fletcher, his voice was dull, “Why are you back?”
“Uh…” seeing the unfazed exp**ssion on Eric’s face, Fletcher was lost for words as he touched his forehead, “I thought the problem was a bit difficult to deal with…but looking at your exp**ssion, it doesn’t seem as urgent as I thought. Since you already have a solution, why aren’t you heading home?”
“Can’t you see how anxious I am?” Eric asked.
From the look in Eric’s eyes, Fletcher finally understood; he was pretending to be anxious so the board of directors would call for a meeting. It wasn’t often that he got a chance to do some spring cleaning. Since the opportunity was placed into his hands, he was going to make good use of it.
“What are your countermeasures?”
“Let them have a taste of their own medicine!” Eric used one simple sentence to answer Fletcher’s query.
While the netizens waited for Kaleidoscope to apologize and take responsibility, they never considered the fact that a fight bet**en fans had nothing to do with Kaleidoscope.
At the same time, they also thought Emma would admit to her wrongdoings and step out to fix the mood. But, in reality, Emma didn’t have much to do with the situation. Since, Manager Roberts hadn’t said anything yet, she, of course, did not need to either. Let alone the fact that the Emma Fans were innocent to begin with.
If she was to step out, it would mean she was admitting that her fans had done something wrong.
So, the PR announcement released overnight by Kaleidoscope, was simple: they had already contacted the police and the police were currently investigating the truth behind the incident. They were going to let the law handle it.
As soon as the announcement was released, the Shiloh Fans immediately started protesting. They thought the truth was already obvious and Kaleidoscope were trying to avoid responsibility.
However, there were some people that believed Kaleidoscope had made the right choice. Yes, it was true that a Shiloh Fan was hurt, but the Emma Fans weren’t any better off either. Getting into a fight was both party’s fault. Demanding for an apology from only one side, was quite unfair. So, contacting the police was the best solution.
However, anyone that knew Eric would know that he was deliberately dragging out the time.
By handing everything over to the law…
…he was merely using the law as a PR shield.
If anyone was to question him, he’d simply say everything was with the law.
Like this, Eric gained complete control of the situation.
Of course, Eric was well known for acting as quick as lightning, so his abnormally gentle approach this time barely passed as a good PR tactic in the eyes of the Board of Directors. So the next day, over 30% of the board requested for a meeting.
In reality, from the time that Kaleidoscope was first formed, worse things had happened. Something so insignificant wouldn’t normally be worthy of the board of director’s worries. But the provocation from J-King had built up over time and Eric had been making too many exceptions for Emma. So, the shareholders couldn’t help but suspect that Eric had been blinded by sex, hence being distracted from running the business properly.
Before Eric left home, Emma helped him adjust his suit in front of the mirror. Her eyes contained a slight sense of discomfort.
Eric grabbed onto her right wrist and pulled her in for a k**s, “What are you worried about?”
“The meeting today…”
“Is this something you should be worried about?” Eric let go of Emma’s wrist and swapped it for her waist, “Don’t you think I’m enjoying this game of cat and mouse?”
Emma leaned into Eric’s embrace. Although she was clear about his capabilities, it was only natural for her to worry.
“You said before, whenever I need you, you would step out and protect me.”
“Why are you suddenly mentioning this?” Emma lifted her head and asked. “I’m already prepared…”
Eric gently stroked Emma’s ink-black hair. He couldn’t bear seeing her in pain, so he was determined, “I will help you lay out the foundation for your path. Don’t worry.”
The couple understood each other. Most of the time, Eric didn’t need to say much, because no matter what he did, Emma would understand. Meanwhile, everything Emma had already done was to give Eric a reason for his counterattack.
“My fans are currently occupied with charity work. They’ve even created a website for fundraising.”
“You taught them well.”
Emma smiled knowing that Eric already understood her intention. Without another word, she loosened herself from Eric’s embrace, “You better get going. The meeting is about to start.”
When it came to being black belly, the couple were surprisingly consistent.
It was time to wait for a good show to unfold.
…
10am. Kaleidoscope’s meeting room.
Before Eric arrived, the old shareholders all exp**ssed their displeasure towards Eric’s handling of the violent fan incident. Kaleidoscope had been in the industry for many years and their reputation had always been good. Never had they been reported as trying to avoid responsibility. However, because Emma was involved, Eric dealt with this issue in the gentlest way ever.
“It was already controversial for the President to become the personal manager of a mere model. This time, is he disregarding Kaleidoscope’s reputation because of her?” one of the shareholders complained.
“Haven’t you guys noticed Eric has changed a lot these days?” a second shareholder chimed in as he slammed his hands on the meeting desk.
“If things keep going on like this and Emma asks for Kaleidoscope, will he just give it to her? She is such a fox…”
“I’ve compiled some information here, it’s evidence of Eric using his position to help Emma,” the person to present the information was none other than J-King’s father, Director Cervantes.
Not long ago, Luke had tried to contact him, but he used the excuse that he was overseas to brush him off. In reality, he was rejecting Eric.
The group of directors handed the information around as their faces filled with shock.
“How can we let this continue?”
“If this goes on, Kaleidoscope will be destroyed sooner or later.”
“What will be destroyed?” Eric’s deep voice suddenly resounded from the doorway. The directors quickly put away the information in their hands and looked away awkwardly.
Eric sneered and sat down in the CEO’s position. But his gaze was focused on the information they were trying to hide, “Can I have a look?”
The shareholders were a little stunned but handed the information over obediently.
Eric casually fl*pped through a few pages and threw the information aside, “What? Are you trying to question my authority with this as an excuse?”
“Eric, don’t you think you should give everyone an explanation?”
“What do I need to explain?” Eric asked back as he placed his piercing glare upon Director Cervantes. “I can give you a reasonable explanation if you want me to, but before I do that…I would like to ask Director Cervantes what his self-scripting, self-directing son, J-King is up to?”
