“Don’t you like being with me at all?” Craig asked as he pointed to himself. “You’d rather spend time with Emma than to stay here, wouldn’t you?”
“Well, that’s because I like Emma…”
“Are you trying to say that you don’t like me? Does it feel like torture to spend time with me?”
Xiner was a little dumbfounded. Did she ever say that? Craig was almost 33; a few days older than Eric. But, why were his thoughts not as mature and sensible as someone of the same age?
“I want to go watch a movie…”
“I’ll go with you. Don’t worry, after I disguise myself, no one will recognize me.” As soon as he finished speaking, Craig rushed into his bedroom to put on a disguise. Not long after, a man with a beard appeared in front of Xiner, “Can we go now?”
“If you’re not careful, the news headlines tomorrow will be about a messy relationship bet**en a small assistant and a superstar!” Xiner looked at him in fear, still reluctant to go with him.
“Fine, go by yourself then…” Craig admitted defeat as he sat down on the sofa. Without hesitation, Xiner hurried out in fright. Was he really that scary?
With a dark exp**ssion, Craig made a phone call to Eric, “Get Emma on the phone for me…”
Eric lifted one eyebrow curiously; had Craig swallowed dynamite? However, he still handed the phone to Emma.
“Your assistant is a little stupid…No, let me rephrase, she’s VERY stupid.”
Emma burst out laughing. Judging by Craig’s tone, Xiner was definitely driving him crazy. He tried his best to pursue her, but Xiner kept running away like she had absolutely no idea.
“When dealing with Xiner, you need to target her compassionate side. In other words, you have to do something to gain her sympathy.”
“You keep appearing in front of her like an almighty superstar demanding for her to take care of you. Of course Xiner would brush you off.”
“Plus, it’s not like she’s never seen a handsome face before; the man I have at home is stunning enough. So, you have to let her see your good side and cater to her interests, understand?”
“He’s so lazy, as if he would cater to other’s interests,” Eric commented as he sat to one side. “He’s the type of person that wants to sleep with someone on the first date and marry them on the second. Slowly pursuing someone? He has no patience for such a tedious process. That’s why no woman would ever want to marry him.”
Craig felt a little hurt by Eric’s words, so he hung up the phone. Although he didn’t admit it, he was indeed the way that Eric described – he hated dragging things out. In fact, on a few occassions, he almost grabbed onto Xiner and asked her to be with him. But, he knew Xiner would reject him, so the words never left his mouth.
Emma suggested he target her compassionate side.
There were plenty of fans that chased after celebrities their entire lives to find they couldn’t even get a glimpse. Yet, here she was, spending day in and day out with a national treasure actor. Didn’t she ever consider taking advantage of him and admiring his attractiveness?
Craig simply couldn’t understand.
He was a top actor. Was it too humiliating for him to chase around a small assistant all day long?
…
Preparations for ‘W.H.’ were nearing completion. During this time, Emma had disappeared from the limelight to focus on studying her script. But, two days before heading on set, she received news that ‘Stupid’ had settled on an official release date. This was the first movie she ever participated in, so it meant a lot to her.
“It will be released in June. You are expected to take part in promoting it.”
“Of course…” Emma smiled. “By the way, I heard you actually signed Herman up to be a trainee for Kaleidoscope?”
“His name is now Lafayette, it’s a stage name that he picked for himself. It appears he actually has the intention to separate himself from the Miller Family.”
“Don’t you dare open a backdoor for him!”
“My expectations have always been strict, even with you. So he is no different,” Eric said as he hugged his wife. “No one can expect immediate success, I’m sure Herman understands this. But I must say, his voice is very unique.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely present you with a satisfactory result for ‘W.H.'”
“There are a lot of explosion scenes in the film – be careful,” Eric reminded. He then added as he k**sed her, “Craig has taken Xiner, so I doubt you’ll be getting her back. As for Lisa, her and Luke are currently trying for a baby, so I don’t think she can continue running around with you either. So, I will try my best to find you another assistant.”
“I just need someone that knows what they’re doing,” Emma didn’t have high expectations for her assistant.
She didn’t need someone with a temper nor someone that talked too much. In fact, if she didn’t need to place her energy on the film, she would not need an assistant at all.
“You don’t know how badly I want to go with you…”
“With Craig and Zephaniah around, you don’t need to worry.”
Eric did not respond. He simply hugged her tighter.
“Mr. Roborts, you are becoming more and more childish…I’m only going out to film for a while.”
“But, without you by my side, I can’t eat and can’t sleep…I’ve already gotten used to having you in my life,” Eric replied gently. “Hurry home after filming is completed. I’ll visit you on set when I have time.”
Emma was helpless around him. “I’ll leave my mother and Herman in your hands then.”
“We are husband and wife. I would do it even if you didn’t ask me to…”
Meanwhile, fans of Emma hadn’t seen her for a while and were missing her dearly. So, they began leaving messages on Eric’s social media page.
“Mr. Roborts, hand over our Little Miss Emma, we haven’t seen her for a long time!”
“Could they be making babies?”
“What up-and-coming projects will Emma be involved in, Mr. Roborts? We really miss her.”
Seeing these messages, Emma couldn’t help but take a photo of herself. She then posted it onto Eric’s account with the caption, “Little Miss Emma is right here.”
When Xiner saw that Emma got a new assistant, she was both stunned and broken-hearted.
Her mission to take care of Craig was supposed to end once he started filming. So, she originally expected to return to Emma’s side. But, who would have thought, Emma would end up getting a new assistant.
It was reasonable though. After all, she was meant to be a temporary assistant from the start. So, how could she dream of remaining by Emma’s side.
“What are you daydreaming about?” Craig asked as he watched Xiner walk ahead.
“Emma got a new assistant. So, I think it’s time I retreat,” Xiner replied as she turned to look at Craig. Her exp**ssion swept over with disappointment.
“She has an assistant…but, I don’t,” Craig said as he looked down at her, “Don’t tell me, following me isn’t as good as following her… Look at her new assistant. She isn’t as pretty as you and couldn’t possibly be smarter than you. Shouldn’t you show her what you’re capable of and make her regret finding someone new?”
Xiner remained silent…
She was actually quite hurt. After all, Emma didn’t even give her prior warning. It was like she didn’t care.
“Forget it. You make it seem like following me is a huge torture. I won’t force you…” After speaking, Craig pulled his luggage behind him, ready to leave. At this moment, Xiner suddenly reached out her hand and stopped him.
“You’re on your own…”
“I’ve always been on my own. Either you be my assistant, or I continue on my own,” Craig replied straightforwardly.
Xiner glanced at Emma and her new assistant and then looked back at Craig. Finally, she nodded her head, “Fine then, I’ll be your assistant.”
